While these three States will control the election, they offered no candidates for the prest- dency. A secret ballot, a yard long and about half @ foot wide, was used.

WASHINGTON, May 31,—Plans for the Democratic convention at St. Louis and the ensuing campaign were discussed by President Wilson to-day with Representative Doremus of Michigan, Chairman of the Demo- cratic Congressional Committee; Nor- man Hapgood, an organizer of the Wilson Non-Partisan League, and Senator Taggart of Indiana. Between nm and convention time the Presi- dént is expected to devote much at- tention to politics. Selection of a permanent Conven- tion Chairman was discussed. Speak- er Champ Clark was the first choice of the President, but it now seems that Mr. Clark may not go to St. Louis, Senator James of Kentucky and Senator Kern of Indiana are among those suggested for the place in case the Speaker finally dectines, While friends of Vice President Mar- shall believe there is no doubt that he will be renominated, they are not urging the President to take 4 stand the question, because there are other candidates, notably Gov. Major) of Missourt. The plan of the Convention man- agers is to have Alabina give way to New Jersey, when the roll is called for the nomination of Presidential candidates, so that John W. West- cott, who has been selected by Presi- dent Wilson to nominate him, may immediately make his speech, A mo- tion to close nominations then would be in order. 121 NEUTRAL SHIPS SUNK BY SUBMARINES More Than One-half Belonged to Norway and Only One Was American.
