calling az one house he rang the bell several
times without obtaining any response. As he

Each of the telegraph companies estab-

there may be heard the continual click of

every part Of the United States, SO that
almost before a thing Is fairly done it is
recorded in newspaper offices. some of
which are thousands of miles away. Each
of the two big telegraph companies has
fifty operators working away in these tenn
porary offices. They are the star men of
the profession, selected from Washington
and New York offices as a rule. with such
other help as can be found. Each operator
is capable of sending from LOCO to 1000
words an hour, and the number of words
sent out during convention sitting will
range all the way from 100000 to 3OO.OOo
At night some of the operators are trans

Written for The Evening Star
One Of the chief considerations with
national committee in selecting a conven-
ton city is to fix on a place with ample
telegraph facilities There are hardly more
than a dozen cities which have facilities
equal to the requirements of the news
papers at convention time. And. Of course,
within a certain limit only these can hope
to enter into competition for the location Of
the convention Of either of the great par
ties.
The reporting Of national convention is
one Of the severest tests to which news
paper enterprise is ever subjected. 1t can
be imagined that the machinery for doing
the work is complex and complete. The
reporters occupy a position of almost as
great Importance the delegates, and are
nearly as numerous. At the republican
convention in Philadelphia seats will be
provided for 500 working newspaper men.
The Kansas City convention hall will have
GOO press seats. There will be something
less than 800 accredited de,egatse in each
convention. Every newspaper of any con-
sequence in the United States will be rep
resented-some by one man, most by two
or three, a few by corps of correspondents,
ranging in number for five to twenty. The
press associations each will have from fif
teen to thirty men to report the proceed
ings, to follow up the important confer
ences and to watch daily and nightly de-
velopments.
On Big Scale.
Some of the great metropolitan journals
practically establish duplicate plants for
the gathering and transmission of news in
a convention city. They set up headquar-
tiers. fitted up like a newspaper office, with
desks and benches and special wires, and
they create a routine as perfect and as
systematic as that which exists in the Of
fees at home. At the republican conven-
ton in Minneapolis eight years ago one
New York paper had Its managing editor,
its city editor and a staff of writer's which
practically depleted the home office of Its
most effective working force. This
the first attempt at anything of this kind.
In Chicago and St. Louis four years ago
other papers followed the example. In
Chicago one New York paper published
daily edition on the spot, which was vir-
tually a duplicate of the home edition in
New York. This same newspaper has al
ready made arrangements equally ambitious
for Kansas City and Philadelphia. In Kan
sas City 1t has leased two residences for
the force 1t intends to carry out and it
has also engaged a headquarters which will

affect the current Of events. and pick up
the characteristic incidents and stories
which lend color, and which, while having
nothing to do with the weightier politics of
the occasion. help to round out and COM
plete the picture
All these various reports when written
are turned in to the man in charge, and he
is responsible for the arrangement and ac-
curacy of everything that goes over the
wire. Usually some writer of wide reputa-
ton is engaged to prepare general review
showing what has been done and what is
likely to be done. In some cases news
paper will have several writer's to record
their impressions. some of their produc-
tions being valuable only for the names
with which they are signed.
The Most Exncting Work.
The work Of press association is the
most eXactng of all. This must above all
things, be accurate, and it must be COM
p!ete. At the same time it must be I'M
colored by political or local prejudice for

tim report of the proceedings of the con-

vention. This, of course. is the work of
stenographers, who have places just I'M
derneath the speakers platform. Other
men who are familiar with political affairs
will be assigned to the task of following
the work of committees, of describing Incl
dents and of formulating unbiased view
OF the situation. Each press association
a. the national conventions will probably
send out at least $4,000 words every day.
and each association will have its special
wires and operators in the convention hall
ready to send on the moment everything as
it occurs.
The arrangements for the accommodation
OF newspapers in the convention hall are
elaborate. The seats of the press CORE
spondents are the most convenient and ac-
ceSsible in the hall. They are arranged on
