| North Carolina. The North Carolin-
ians will also wear the Aycock hat.
The convention will be in session
three days. 1t will meet Wednesday.
July 18th. There is q suggestion that
Mr. Bryan Will be named on the first
day of the session because it is the
Glorious Fourth; hen the platform
would be adopted on the 9Th and the
Nicc-President nominated on the 9th.
1t Will not be known. however. what
the program will be until the delegates
reach Kansas City. The Republicans
made a contract with Philadelphia
to hold the convention in session three
days. The Democrats made no con
tract, but the Kansas City people will
urge it upon the party leaders that
this has been the custom and ought
not to be departed from.
The temporary chairman of the
convention has not yet been selected
and will not be announced until the
national committee meets at Kansas
City tomorrow.
The contest for the honor of being
temporary chairman of the convention
seems to be exclusively between u.
A.. Rose, Mayor of Milwaukee. and c..
S. Thomas. Governor of Colorado.
The greatest interest is Of course
manifested in the nomination of q
man for the second place on the ticket
this being the unknown quantity
of the convention. 1t is pretty gen
! orally conceded hat the nominee
must be a New York man.
The nomination Of Roosevelt makes
New York the battle ground in this
campaign and the early talk has

can have q candidate for the Vice
Presidency who has the confidence
