is the opinion of the Paducah delega-

by the state delegates to the national
convention. If Beckham can dictate
these delegates. he can control the
election of national committeeman.

Adrian Democrat: Mobiles county
democrats should send a johnson
delegation to the state convention to
be held at st Paul, May 18th. Gov
ernor johnson deserves such recog-
milton from the democracy of this
county. and to fail to accord it to him
would be rather shabby, to say at
least. It would also be very poor pol
itics, for there is not the slightest
doubt that Minnesota will send a
johnson delegation to the national
convention and the democrats of this
county should act in harmony with
the party in the state. Gov. 10 hnson
may or may not haye show to be
nominated for, the presidency, but
Minnesota democrats can certainly
do no less than to give him the vote
of this state in the convention:
