1 0- V "e c~
 At a caucus of Democrats at the City Hall last night which filled the council chamber and the corridor of the hall, 60 candidates were placed in nomination for delegates to the Territorial convention to be voted on at the primary election which will take place in Juneau May 10th. {.
 John A. Hellenthal. chairman of the meeting. was authorized to ap point judges and clerks for the pri- lmary and to name committee to arrange the details of the primary election. And 1t was decided to have an official ballot on which the names Of the candidates for dele gates within be printed in alphabetical order. The polls wsll be kept open from 10 a. m. until S:SO D. m.. that all Juneau Democrats will be given an opportunity to vote.
 It was decided that the official ballot should contain the legend at the top that the person voting 1t in- tends to vote the Democratic ticket at the following election. and. fur ther. that in case a voter at the pri- mary. if challenged, may be re- quired to take an oath to be admin istered by the judges of election that it is his intention to vote the Dem ocratic ticket
 It was further decided that any Democrat actually a resident of Ju- neau who would be a voter in No vember should have the right to par Hcipate in the primary and the con- vention.
