Twenty Nine Ballots Required to Name

Are to lie Made.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The democrat
lc national convention will be held at
Chicago on July Z. That was the de-
cision reached today by the national
democratic committee after an inter
esting and at times exciting session
which continued until IL o'clock to-
night. There was considerable differ
ence of opinion as to the time of hold

vanced by Allan w. Thurman of Ohio

member, was to hold 1t June 2, two
weeks before the republican convention
and the other by Hugh Wallace OF
Washington to hold 1t July 7. The COM
mittee decided upon the latter date by
: vote of 80 to 10. The main interest
seemed to center in the choice of the
convention city.

His State Will Fight for the Monroe
Doctrine II Necessary.
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 16.-The inau-
guration of Governor Drake took place
at 2:30 today in the presence of several
thousand people. The governor In his
inaugural said the stand taken by the
president in favor of the enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine has received the
most unhesitating and cordial approval
of patriotic people of all parties. The
immediate action taken by both houses
of congress sounded the key note of
the true American policy. The time has
come when this question must be set
tied and the principle commended for ac-
knowledeged. We hope this will be done
peacefully, but if it cannot be so done.
Iowa is ready to acquiesce in the deter
mination Of the nation for defense of
Its integrity and to maintain this vital
principle, If necessary with force of
arms.
The so-called Christian civilization
which will tolerate inhuman butchery
of an innocent Christian people is not
worthy to be coupled with American
Christian civilization. Such foul as
sault on Christianity and such inhu-
man practices would be of short dura-
ton on this western hemisphere. No
boundary lines would suffice to stay the
onward rush of American soldiers for
protection of the innocent and punish
ment of the guilty.

Senator Hale saN the delay on the
part of General Coppinger in taking out

might be endangered by his becoming a
citizen of this country.
The committee adjourned without
passing upon the nomination, which is
