DELEGATES SATURDAY

Democrats of Madison county
will meet in mass convention at
1 o'clock Saturday afternoon to
name 33 delegates and alternates
to the state convention, which is
held at Louisville May 4th. Then
Kentucky's delegates will be
named to the national convention
at San Francisco.
Friends of Gov. Cox, of Ohio,
are very anxious that Kentucky
instruct her delegates for him. for
the presidential nomination. Cox
is undoubtedly an overwhelming
favorite of Madison democrats
and the convention here will un-
instruct for him.
For the first time in history.
women are eligible to vote for
president, and they are being in
vited to participate in the county
conventions. 1t is probable that
several will be named on the del
egation to Louisville.
