DEMOCRATS CONVENE IN THE FLOUR GITY Minneapolis Entertaining Over One Thousand Delegates—Met LIND AND STANTON REFUSE NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR Frank Day Expected to Retire - to Pri- vate Life—Hammond Raps the Republicans. Minneapolis, July 28—(Special telegram, 3 p. m.)—The Democratic convention has just passed a resolu- tion stating that no nominations be made until a platform has. been adopted. Minneapolis, July 28—(Special to the Pioneer)—The Democratic state convention composed of 1,059 dele- gates which convened this morning is marking tragic bistory for the minority party of Minnesota for it not only means the passing. tor all time from political life of John Lind, democracy’s only real hope, but also marks the end of Frank Day’s career. No matter who is named for governor, and that will not be known until late this afternoon, Mr. Day, chairman of the present Democratic central committee, is doomed to re- tire to private life is the assertion of the present gathering. It was not until last night that all hope faded for the nomination of Lind, but it at last went glimmering when repeated telegrams were re- ceived from. the former governor, who is in Portland on private busi- ness, stating that he would not only not accept the nomination if ten- dered him but that he would not serve as governor even. if he were elected. A wire from Judge Stanton of Be- midji reiterating his refusal to accept has put him out of the field, As things look now John Jenms- wold, the Duluth lawyer; Fred John- son of New Ulm and Congressman Hammond of St. James are the three from whom the delegates will choose a nominee for govenor. The convention had been sche- duled to convene at 11 a. m. but it was about noon when Frank Day called the gathering to order and introduced Congressman Ham- mond as temporary chairman, Mr. Hammond delivered a prepared speech which added fame to his reputation as an orator. He paid a splendid tribute to the late Gover- nor Johnson and was wildly ap- plauded at viscious thrusts made made at the Republican tariff bill and the present national adminis- tration in general, He carefully avoided any reference to the liquor question.
