Democratic County Convention
Offers No Suggestions to
State Delegation

Seventy eight delegates and the same
number of alternates were selected at
the Democratic county convention held
at Federation hall yesterday to repre-
sent Ramsey county in the state con-
ventiOn to be held at Duluth June 22,
at which convention delegates at large
will be chosen for the national conven-
ton to be held at st. Louis in July.
The convention yesterday was the
most harmonious ever held in Ramsey
county. Not a speech was made and
the name of a presidential candidate
was not mentioned. The delegates are
free to vote as they please, and for
whom they please when they go to Du-
luth.
NO attempt was made to secure an
instructed delegation although it is
generally understood that Thomas ID.
OBrlen will be named as delegate at
large to the national convention, with
Richard I. O'Connor as district dele
gate, and Peter J. Metzdorf as his al
ternate. The delegates selected at the
convention yesterday will meet within
few days and select a chairman.

carried unanimously.
