mer Gov Peck Will Head Ticket.
Oshkosh, Wis, Sept. 1.-The demo
cratic state convention at 9:15
Wednesday night took a recess until
morning without doing practically any
business further than perfecting the
permanent organization. James L.
O'Connor of Milwaukee was agreed
upon as permanent chairman instead
of Henry j. Killilea.
This was a victory for the so-called
radicals over the program mapped out
by the Warden-Ryan combination.
The platform committee, of which
former United States Senator Villas is
chairman, spent several hours in DELHI
GRAFTON but did not complete it's work.
Most of the committees time was
taken up with state issues.
1t is claimed the platform will favor
commission to control all public SER
vice corporations within the state and
that passenger rate of two cents per
mile on all railroads in the state will
be favored
1t is pretty generally conceded that
former Governor George w. Peck will
be nominated to head the ticket.
