UNRESTRICTED DELEGA-
sTioN TO ST. LOUIS.

Duluth, June 24-7'he Democratic
state delegate convention refused to
instruct its delegates for Hearst after
his supporters had secured control of
the convention. The race between
Major Bowler, the Hearst leader of
Minneapolis, and G.. D. O'Brien, the
anti-Hearst candidate for chairman,
was extremely close, but the former
won out by a margin of 40 votes of the
LOOP present For time it looked as
though Hearst sentiment would rule
in everything and it doubtless would
have done SO had it not been for a
speech of Congressman John Lind, who
turned a crowd of excited delegates
who clamored for an instructed dele
cation to one which expressed itself
when the vote came as opposed to in
structing for Hearst or any other man.
The anti-Hearst men secured three
of the four delegates at large and will
get an even break on the district dele
gates. The delegates at large are:
John Liad fof Minneapolis, L. A. Ros-
ing Of gennen Falls. Fl. L. Buck of
Winona and G. D. O'Brien of ST. Paul.
