PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS

IlAimisnmio Pa Juno 15 Four
hundred and thirty five representatives
of tho Democracy of Pennsylvania met
huro yesterday for tho pnrioso of nam
ing candidates for supromo court judge
superior court judge and stato treas
urer
Shortly after midnight tho conven
tion adjourned until today without liav
iug accomplished tho first and most im
portant pieco of work cut out for thorn
namely tho selection of a candidato for
supremo judge Nearly six hours wero
consumed in the preliminary work of
the convention and between 1 oclock
and midnight with an hours intermis
sion for supper tho delegates cast 1 1
fruitless ballots for a score or moro of
candidates for that oillco tho deadlock
at midnight apparently being as firm as
it was at 1 oclock When adjournment
was hod thero wero 1 1 candidates in tho
field with votes ranging from 13 to 72
tho highest being a long way oil from
tho 218 necessary to oloct Tho deter
mined Iwttlo arises from tho fact that
tho nominee is sure to bo elected to
servo 20 years Tho fight appears to
have narrowed down to Judgo Kennedy
of Allegheny and Judge Yerkes of
Bucks although tho western friends
of Judgo Krobs of Clearfield refuse to
concede tho defeat of their candidate
Ex Congressman Wolverton who was
considered a strong candidate lost
steadily in tho Inst few ballots as did
also Judges Bechtel Allen and Al
bright The platform adopted reaffirms
tho Chicago platform and eulogizes Mr
Bryans leadership but contends that
tho campaign shall bo confined to a
fight against alleged Republican mis
rule and Quayism
