organize as one county organization.
1t is very probable that a meeting

hold their state ticket early in Sep

central committee met recently, it
merely fixed the date for the dele
gate convention for Duluth, June g.
Outside of Hennepin county in
terest in the democratic presidential
caucuses May 25 is not very great.
Ramsey county democrats will not
caucus until May 90.
1t is likely that Ramsey county
under the control of the Murphy
OCOnnor machine, will go for
Champ Clark. The rest of the state
seems to be overwhelmingly for
Woodrow Wilson.
Leaders Are Mentioned.
The following six leaders are be-
ing mentioned prominently as dele
gates-at-large to the Baltimore con.
vention. F. B. Lynch, ST. Paul, ma
tional democratic committeeman; A.
C. Weiss, Duluth; Senator Harry
Weis, LIE Sueur; Congressman
Hammond, st. James; Con. O'Brien,
Brainerd, and Mayor ]. c. Haynes,
Minneapolis.
There is a dispute between the
first and sixth districts for a place
on the delegation at large. In Hen
nepin county, Mayor Haynes may
not be acceptable, and if the Wilson
men control, T. H. Austin, Edward
A. Purdy, or some other Wilson sup
porter, may secure place.
Day at Delegate.
1t was learned today that F. A.
Day would seek place on the Sec
ond district delegation to Baltimore.
w. S. Weiss, Redwing, and Senator
Fred Dutoit, Chaska, are candidates
from the Third district.
1t is understood that Dan w. Law
Ter is out for delegate-at-large, and.
as a compromise, he and r. It. o.
Conner may go as delegates from
the Fourth congressional district, al
though it has been customary to
give Ramsey only, one of these dis
trict delegates and Washington coun-
ty the other.
