NOMINATION PROBABLE TODAY

Some Fourteen Candidates’ Names Presented for President. It was not thought probable that the Democrats would nominate the ewndida-tes for president and vice president before Saturday as The Democrat went to press, although balloting on candidates was expected yesterday after the platform adoption. Apparently Cojt was in the lead with the delegates, with Palmer perhaps second. However, as there are some. 14 candidates before the convention —Cox, Palmer, Meredith, McAdoo, -Davis, Gerard, Hitchcock, CummiNgs, Edwards, Smith, Owen and others —it is difficult to forecast who will receive the nomination at this time. Vice-President Marshall and Champ Clark were also being considered as dark horse possibilities should a deadlock occur.
