Portland, Feb. 22.— Portland will
be the meeting place of the Demo­
cratic State Convention at 10 a.m.
Tuesday, April 11). The convention
will consist of 272 delegates, ou the
busis of one delegate for each 175
votes, or major fraction thereof, cast
for Governor Chamberlain iu 1!)02,
and one delegate at large for each
i ounty.
This arrangement will give
Lane county 15, instead of 14 dele­
gates as formerly.
These matter* were decided by
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, which met at the Imjierial
hotel Monday.
There was a good
attendance and a number of promi­
nent Democrats besides the mem­
bers of the committee were present.
Among these were Governor Cham­
berlain and Hou. A. E. Reames of
Jacksonville.
There is manifestly a stroug dis­
position among the members of the
State Central Committee to look
with favor upon the pioposed con­
cert of action among the Paeifio
coast delegates to the national con­
vention. Some distrust is felt by
those who believe that the combina­
tion is proposed in the interest of
Hearst’s candidacy for the presiden­
tial Domination, but they disclaim
any intention to commit the Pacific
coast states to his cause by the pro­
posed combination.
It is stated on good authority that
Alex Sweek will be chosen as Demo­
cratic State Committeeman to suc­
ceed Sam White, Sweek being
Chamberlain’s choice.
It is generally understood that
Governor
Chamberlain will be
chairman of the Oregon delegation
to the national convention.
