WEST SUPERIOR, WIS.-The demo-
Gratis will caucus tonight for the Satur-
day conventions, which are to choose del
iegates to the state and congressional
Iconventions. It will be all smooth sailing
at the caucuses, but it may not be so in
the convention, which elects delegates to
the state convention. 1t had been sup
posed that Burr Jones was to get the
Douglas county delegation, but he is
quoted as having said some things that
do not agree with Superior democrats
especially in deprecating LaFollette and
his so-called populism. The democrats
are afraid this will drive away more pop
ulists and true democrats than it will at
tract stalwarts, and they do not like it.
If Jones friends try to turn this county
over to him, there is likely to be trouble.

anything like the call for farms that there
is now. The result Is a rising market all
