For several days past It has been expect
ed here that Representative Swanson, can
didate for governor would name the list
OF twenty delegates to represent Alexan-
dr1a in the state democratic convention at
Norfolk August IA. At his request the
leaders of his forces in this city during the
contest here decided recently upon the per-
sonnel OF the delegation which they recon-
mended to Mr.. Swanson for appointment.
The list was submitted several days ago,
but reply has not yet been received by
Mr W. Il. Smoot, who supervised the CAM
paign for the representative. 1t was sug-
gested this morning that Mr.. Swanson In
tended the list to stand without taking any
further action himself, but Mr.. Smoot
stated that from conversation he had had
with the former over the telephone the
delegation would not be considered ap-
pointed until Mr.. Swanson was heard from.
It is said on the best authority that the
Following names were submitted to Repre-
sentative Swanson for appointment: Messrs.
Hubert Snowden, George Haden. p. A. Biz
rel, j. Marriotte Hill, A. C. Murdaugh, y.
Ballenger, Charles Cuvillier, Richard H.
Cox, Charles B. Marshall. Charles Bend
helm, John Reed. James r. Cation. Louis G.
Barley, c. c. Carlin, Samuel G. Brent, VIM.
B. Smoot, John A.. Marshall, Randy Davis,
George Petit and J. K M. Norton. 1t is
said that there is no doubt that this will
be the delegation from Alexandria city
which will be instructed to vote for Mr.
Swanson for governor
The delegation from Alexandria county,
which was chosen directly at the primary
election, is divided three being for Attor-
ney General Montague and one for Swan
