Massachusetts Will Present the Name of the Gifted Elk
Secretary of State to the National
Democratic Convention.

BOSTON, April 21.-Before the
D Democratic state convention to
select delegates at large 10 the
national body at st. Louis assembled
today there were indications of more
harmonious session tnan the leaders
previously had expected. The con
tests between the factions of the party,
due TO preferences for presidential
Nominees. were fought out TO a con
siderable extent and disposed Of during
the night. The state committee was in
session until an early hour today and
a spirit manifested in the state COM
mitteC and the supporters OF Mr..
Olney in the proceedings. to give the
Hearst forces what they termed fair
recognition on the various convention
committees, contributed largely TO this
end.
The Two Tickets.

by the election of John J. FlaheTty OF

vention. There were two sets of tickets
known by name of the respective fac
tions, Olney and Hearst. The former
bore these names: William a. Gas
ton, Boston: Patrick a. Collins. BOs-
ton; William l. Douglas. BrOcktOn.
and John r. Thayer. Worcester. The
Hearst ballots had the following
names: George Fred Williams. Ded-
ham; George +. MCNEIL. Cambridge:
Charles 4. Dean, Wakefield, and
Joseph A. Smith, Worcester. The
balloting consumed more than an hour.
When the votes were counted the fol-
