wAsHrssTos, Nov. 22.-yery few, II
any. of convention boomers at the
Arlington hotel attended church today.
In fact they we're just as busy today
and tonight as they were yesterday, US
ing persuasion and AL appliances At
hand in al endeavor 20 convince the
national committee men of the advsnt-
ages and facilities OF their respective
cities as a place 10 hold the next re-
publican convention. All the claims
that the competing cities are urging
about fzcilitlesand their generousotfers
. OF transportation 20 delegates will un-
dOubtedly b secondary considerations
with the national committee and weigh
little or nothing alongside of the one
important fact that the political ex
egencies Of republican party demands,
the selection of = city that will be to
the greatest interest OF the party.
Earnest, energetic men from the west,
from San Francisco, Omaha, Minnea-
polls and Detroit are very emphatic IN
insisting that the holding of the nation
sentIsl 10 the success of the party next
year. The Minneapolis people are hard
At work IN the interest OF their city and
from the work accomplished SO far
they are confident that Minneapolis
will be At the top when the interesting
time appears. they feel certain of re-
eelying not less than fourteen votes on
the first ballot aud have no fear OF fall
ing below that number at any time.
What the Delegates say
Ex-Governor Foraker arrived in
Washington tonight aud is squartersd at
the Arlington and his apartments have
had continuous overflow of callers.
The Governor has not had time TO look
over the field but SAYS ne feels confident
that Cincinnati will win the prize. He
naturally thinks DIS city should be the
one selected ana has dozen or more
'reasons why It should be. He will
make an address for Cincinnati. The
Cincinnati delegation though few IN
number are putting forth the strongest
efforts n behalf OF their city.
The Omaha delegation, while spend
ing rather quiet day, have neverthe-
less been working earnestly among the
Nveral delegations
san Francisco's headquarters has
quiet, peaceful look tonight. Most of
tne delegation are In and about the ho-
tel, mingling with the delegates from
other sections of the country. They
say California makes no marvel
Gus claims, but what assertions
they do make are strictly the
truth. Claims made by some of
the workers for other cities appear
amusing TO them, and they say that if
AL got what they claimed the national
committee must necessarily be COM
posed of about 500 members. What
they do clam is that they have secured
pledges and Will 90 lnto the committee
well prepared, aud will take the lead al
the beginning and keep II throughout
the contest, and as a natural conse-
7uence they will nave the next national
republican convention at San Fran
slsco.
Detroit 10 In IT,
The Detroit committee held 8 meet
ng tonight and report a very encourag-
ing outlook. They have assurances of
second choice and they think there is
no first choice and that New York, San
Frpp ,isco and Cincinnati are out of the
race, and in the event OF New York
dropping out, they hope TO gain
strength from that quarter. San
Francisco. they say, will on account of
mississippi deal, favor Omaha if
they see they cannot wn. New York
which mas been considered by the other
DELEGATIONS ss not making any great
rffort for the convention, held meet
ing tonight, Senators Hiscock and
Hswley and the Hon. j. f. Fsssets will
make speeches for New York.
The general impression prevails that
New York 10 discouraged over the out
look. The convention will be called to
order at IL O'Clock tomorrow morning
By Chairman Ciarkson. and one hour
viii be allowed each city for speeches
IN ~ behalf, but IL is quite likely the
hotir allowed will not be consumed by
some OF the delegates.
