Looming Bid For Governor Cast By Milwaukee Mayor
Milwaukee leader David Rose holds a big lead for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination at the state convention, while opponents press to form a bloc. Rose claims 275 votes, 65 beyond nomination needs, with George W. Peck as a potential ant-Rogeryen unite. Lieutenant governor hopeful John Wattawa and secretary of state candidate Louis Lange drift, as ticket balance draws little interest. In Des Moines the platform fight dominates as silver advocates push a compromise on the Kansas City plank. In California Franklin Lane faces pressure as Geary might gain delegate support if votes are delayed.
