Announcement 81 Admiral Gsorge
Devey's candidacy for the Presidential
nomination has caused stir In the
Democratic camp.
Several Democrats were asked about
the subjsct, and they were non-oomEsit-
tai MS to the effect.
A gentleman 10 particular. and one,
who stands very high In the Democ ratio
councils stated that, even II Admiral
Dewey was . Democrat, and publicly
announced HIS position. then the Admiral
would have . very difiOui1 task to I'M
dsrtake. Col. Bryan has his plans well
laid, many Of the delegates to the oon-
vention being practically decided upon,
positively, II not, In open convention.
Another Democrat anticipates o very
Undressing" time at the Democratic
Convention, and stated Col. Bryan would
have no walkuver.
DR.. Seth G. Gordon, Democratic Ma
tional committeeman from this state,
was interviewed last evening BY a
PRESS reporter, and askedi what
effect will A dmiral Dewey's candidacy
HhNd Ou tAo OcAiOOtuUtp RHAya
DIR. Gordon replied: "Ths conditions
are too indefinite to form an opinion. "
Further on the subject, he would not
express himself.
"What will the Democratic National
committee do about o place for holding
the party's convention" was asked.
DIR. Gordon replied that Milwaukee
would undoubtedly be chosen. He said
1t was very great misfortune that the
magnificent convention hall In Kansas
City was destroyed by fire. and he took
soms pride In the selection Of that city,
as the place for holding the National
Democratic convention. About year
ago the doctor was in Kansas City visit
ing a friend. The gentleman showed
DR.. Gordon the hall and suggested that
city as the place fer the convention. DIR.
Gordon was interviewed by a newspaper
mani and expressed himself 20
strongly in the oity's favor that the
printed article stirred mp a strong senti-
ment whIoh was followed By hard work
which was finally crowned with success,
that city being selected. But anticira-
tions Of q great convention are destroyed
By the hall being reduced to ashes.
"Whsn the committee met to make the
selection. +" said the doctor, milwaukee
presented very strong claims and many
members Of the committee, although,
pledged to Kansas City's interests,
we're OF the opinion that 1t would be good
poll cy to hold the convention In Milwau-
kse. That city has an admirable hall.
Milwaukee IL the great publishing oentsr
Of German newspapers and those papers
would give complete and accurate reports
of the meeting SO in holding the oonven-
ton there 1t would have a great bearing
on the German vote. With the Germans
on the Democratic side, Wisconsin would
probably come In line for the Democratic
ndiiates."
DIR. Gordon anticipated that Chairman
Jones will collect vote by wire on the
selection OF substitute city for Kansas
City, and expects to hear from him, or
Governor Stone of Missouri, sometime
today.
