of Convention.

Six delegates and six altarnates will be
chosen tonight by the convention of anti
Norris democrats at Grand Army Hall to
go to the national convention at Kansas
City July and fight for admission thereto
against the sextet of delegates and alter
mates chosen by the convention held at the
Academy of Music last Thursday. The
anti-Norris faction claims that the latter
gathering was anything but regular, be-
cause, it declares, the delegates compos-
ing it were elected by fraudulent methods
in nineteen out of the twenty-five local
election districts. and expresses confidence
in being able to substantiate these charges
at Kansas City.
The Norris democrats simply ridicule all
such assertions and claims, and are equally
confident that they will be recognized as
the only regular representatives of the local
democracy when the question is finally set
tied by the national conventions commit
tee on credentials in July.
