STATE DELEGATES ID SAN FRANCISCO
 NOW ON THEIR WAY

 Name President

The Alabama delegation to the national democratic convention. accompanied by more than fifty Ala bama boosters, left for San Francisco Saturday afternoon at 12:3o o'clock on Louisville and Nashville train No. 2.
 Three special Pullman cars were at tached to No. for the accommodation of the Alabama party. The Alabamians will reach the conven- ton city Friday morning, June 25, at S:ly o'clock.
 An interesting itinerary has been ar ranged. Stops will be made at St. Louis. Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City and other points along the route on the out going trip.
 District Passenger Agent Joseph Settle will accompany the party as far as Kansas City
 A number of prominent democratic leaders accompanied the southern Ala bama delegates who arrived from Mont gomery at 1920. In the party was Gov. and Mrs. Kilby, who will attend the na- tional convention via the northern route. National Democratic Comnittman w. T. Sanders of Athens will join the Ala ba nians at Decatur, and will be in charge of the party. The success of the expedition is largely due to the untiring efforts of MT. Sanders, who labored con- tinuously for the past several days per- fecting plans for the trip. He has had an able assistant in District Passenger Agent Settle of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad Company. These two men have seen to it that every convenience possible has been provided for the mem bers of the party.
 The Alabama delegates are expected to hold informal conference on board the train en route to San Francisco, and dis cuss organization and committee assign r,ents While no comments have been made by the delegates, it is understood that sentiment will probably center upon former Congressman sydney J. Bowie of Birmingham as chairman of the Alabama delegation.
 The Alabama delegates are going to San Francisco without any instructions from the voters who elected them. Each dele- gate is free to express his own choice for the presidency. So far as is known, none of the delegates have made any pub lie expression as to how they stand on the presidency.
 If is probable that the various candi- dates will be discussed informally by the delegates before they reach the conven- ton city, but it is hardly probable that action will be taken until the Alabama
 
 feel out the situation in San Fran cisco"
