ton Refuses to Be Delegate.
Oshkosh, Wis, Aug. 30.-After cor
respondence and conversation with
many delegates in Oshkosh and other

ford Stevens Point.
OF course no place on the ticket is
certain until after the nomination, but
until the caucus this evening, when
the democratic leaders will largely de-
termine the personnel of the ticket,
this is as accurate a forecast as can
be made.
Plans for Convention.
The details of arrangements for the
convention have been about completed
and any additional details will be set.
tied upon at the last meeting of the
executive committee. The convention
will be called to order at noon Wednes-
day, August 81, by A. f. Warden of
Waukesha, chairman of the state cen
trail committee.
The Opening Day.
Martin Lueck of Juneau Will I'M
doubtedly be chosen temporary chair
man and f. e Worden of this city
temporary secretary. Mr. Worden will
probably be selected also as perma-
nent secretary of the convention and
II. ]. Killilea of Milwaukee will be the
permanent chairman. That session
will be short. There will be an ad-
dress by the Temporary chairman and
appointment of committees on cTedea-
tials. permanent organizations and res
Olutions, after which adjournment will
be taken to Thursday morning. 1t is
not likely that any meeting will be
held Wednesday evening, although
such a contingency is possible.
Nominations on Thursday
AT the meeting Thursday morning,
which will be called at $3.50 o'clock,
the committees will report. 1t is
thought that there may be some diff
ference of opinion as to the resolution,
but if that does not occur the nomina-
tions for state offices will lie made
Thursday morning.
Col H. !. Weed Of Oshkosh will prob
ably second the nomination for the
eighth congressional district and per
haps addresses will also be made by
delegates from Manitowoc and Stevens
Point
Caucuses are held in the morning Of
the convention to frame up the slate
of the state ticket.
At that time a ticket will be framed
up which will beyond doubt be headed
by George w. Peck. While it is known
that there is an undercurrent against
him. it is thought that his strength is
such that his nomination will be made
by reclamation and without opposl
ton.
