CO. CONVENTION MONDAY, APRIL I

Primaries for Selection ot Delegates To Be Held March 30 DATES DECIDED ON SATURDAY At Democratic County Convention * Held for Selecting Delegates to the State and Various District Conventions. The democratic county convention Saturday to select delegates to the state and various district conventions was well attended, except from the north end of the- county, where it has befen so uncertain for people coming here on Saturday getting home the same day on account of the trains having been late so frequently on the Monon. This makes them miss connections at Shelby and lays them out if here, over Sunday. It was a mistake to hold the convention on Saturday for this reason. W. R. Nowels was made chairman of the convention and J. J. Hunt secretary. It was decided to hold the county convention on Monday, April 1, and the precinct primaries for selecting delegates on the Saturday previous, Miarch 30. Delegates to the state convention were - instructed to vote for Boehne for governor, but My. Boehne came out Saturday in a letter withdrawing from the race, and unless some dark horse springs up the nomination will go to S. M. Ralston of Lebanon without any fight. No alternates were named, each delegate being allowed to select his own alternate in the event he cannot go himself. Following are the delegates selected:
