Little Doubt That Illinois Convention
to Meet To-day VIII Do SO.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, April 22.-
Democrats of Illinois will assemble in
State convention tomorrow to elect
delegates at large to the national con-
vcntion to Denver and to adopt plat
form.
Indications tonight are that har-
mony will prevail; that National Com
mitteemana Roger c. Sullivan, of Chi
cago, will control the acts of the con-
vention, and that w. j. Bryan will be
Endorsed for presidential nominee. No
well developed campaign to aid the
candidacy of John A. Johnson has de-
veloped.
Fred p. Morris. of Warsaw. will be
temporary chairman OF the convention
and will also be the permanent chair
man.
1t was decided tonight that six. and
possibly eight, delegates at large shall
be sent to Denver instead of the usual
four. The six men are Roger c. Sui
Ivan, Samuel Alschuler, Edward Dunno
Fred Kern. Adlai r. Stevenson and e
f. Boggs If eight men go the other
| two will be selected tomorrow.

The last State convention honored
Senator Barksdale by making him one
of the electors at large. and with his
running mate. ex-Congressman Tucker.
he made thorough CANVASS for Parker
and Davis. This was really his last
public honor, though he told some OF
his close friends here recently that IL
his health improved sufficiently he
might desire to go to the Denver con-
vcntion as a Bryan delegate from his
district.
Senator Barksdale was one OF the
attorneys for the defense in the Low
ing Estes case, which was tried in his
county last year. and though in feeble
health at that time he made bries
but eloquent plea for Judge Loving's
acquittaI.
He was a member OF the law firm of
Barksdale. Hill & Booker, and although
at the opening of the last session Of
the. Legislature the hand Of affiiction
was resting heavily upon him. lie came
to Richmond and directed the fierce
and successful contest of his Junior
partner. Mr.. Booker, for clerk of the
Senate. The excitement incident to
the opening OF the Legislature seemed
to brighten and stimulate the former
Senator. and while the clerkship bait
tie was on he appeared to be regaining
his fast, falling strength a reaction
followed, however, and he spent many
