DELEGATION To
ST. LOUIS MAY
BE CONTESTED
Democratic Fight Not Ended
With Party Elections
Last Saturday
M'CANDLESS FACTION
JUBILANT AT OUTCOME
Claim Virtually Clean Sweep
But Opponents Prepare
to Protest Count

Democrats backing the "McCandless
ticket" in the elections last Saturday
are claiming today a. clean sweep over
their opponents of the "P.nkhanl
ticket" with the exec Ition of one
place on the territorial central coin
mittee. Everything else, including
the main contests, are declared by the
McCandless men to be an Endorsement
of their position and a reputation OF
Governor Pinkham.
On the other hand. supporters OF
the "Pinkham ticket believe today
that the race for national committee
man was so close between High
Sheriff Jarrett and John H. Wilson
that Jarrett, their candidate, might
emerge winner.
Also, the tossing out of the pre-
cinct votes by the party officials Is
resented by the Pinkhamites, who sav
that it looks as if it we're done in the
interests OF the other tickets.
The situation early this afternoon
was that there might be "a contest
over the national committeeman and
also over the delegation which will
be sent to the st. Louis national con-
yention. 1t is possible that the fight
will be so bitter that two delegations
will be sent. each contestipg the claim
of the other.
The balloting Saturday was the di-
rect primary election of national
committeeman, SIX delegates to the
national convention, alternates and
members of the territorial central
committee. The McCandless forces
have returns showing that they have
lost one contest for the. territorial
committee. q mihof SOS.
