eff Milwaukee doesn't get the Democratic
National Convention, it will be because
the city is swallowed by an earthquake or
for some other terrible reason" said for
mer Mayor Peter J. Somers, of the Cream
City, at the Metropolitan last night. Mr..
Somers is holding forth as the advance
guard Of the Wisconsin delegation until
re- endorsements. to the number Of loo. ar
rive on Tuesday night.
My reasons for saying this are that
there is no chance for any other city. New
York. Cincinnati, and Chicago have dropped
! out In our favor and we have every argu-
ment on cur side. The special train which
Is carrying the Milwaukee representatives
also brings cold cash amounting to ex-
actIy $1GO.3sJ. We won't promise any
check. but can plank down the money.
Then. we have one of the finest convention
halls in the country. The location is in the
heart of the great Middle West. and IS
| unsurpassed. The climate is fine. The ho-
tells are great. The people are liberal and
Democratic, and Milwaukee stands for fair
treatment and good time. Kansas City
| is our only fighting opponent. and We are
confident that we will get the meeting, as
we have the Missouri city fianked and think
| we have a majority Of the votes
kansas City has a good show for the
| Democratic National Convention said J,
| J. Swafford one OF the delegation which
will boom the Missouri city, at the Raleigh
| last night.
ALREADY sixteen of the twenty-six votes
| needed have been pledged 10 our city, and
we will make a hard fight to secure the
| meeting We have SO. 900 in cash to offer
and the town needs no recommendations

I / o'clock in a special car. and will be
