KANSAS CITY. June 2s.-conven-
tlon signs are apparent. but not very
plentiful. No one in Kansas City talks
anything but the coming Democratic
national convention. They are getting
ready for crowds. too. and intend to
take care q all who may come not
withstanding the doubts that have ex-
isted concerning the ability Of the city
to handle the great national gathering.
Among the convention signs are pic
lures OF William Jennings Bryan and
the Peerless young leader Of ls9e'
looks alone from many windows of
shops and hotels.
Over at the convention haII every
effort is being made to complete the
building by Wednesday morning. and
the men in charge renew their prom
ises that the convention win not be de-
Iayed a minute by reason OF incom-
pIete arrangements. There IS an I'M
preston that Bryan may come to KAN
sas City during the convention. and
some OF those nov here think that the
great demonstration which would fol-
low his appearance would carry en-
thusiasm all over the country and start
the convention on with hurrah that
would be beneficial.
There is the faintest intimation that
there may be contest over the plar-
form. 1t is not that Bryan not only
wants the Chicago platform reaffrmed.
but that he also desires the 1e-to-i
declaration reiterated as strongly as

There are other democrats who think

part;

Yale won the eight-oared Varsity
shell race today, beating Harvard by
about six lengths. With four-oared and
freshmen races won. and handsomely,
too, and with the lead when nearing
the finish in the big Varsity event. de-
feat came to Harvard in a sudden and
unexpected manner. Harding. the
stroke, who had replaced the disabled
captain, Higginson. collapsed before
the three and one-half mile flag was
reached. and Harvard finished with
seven oars. so that Yale won a hollow
victory. The four-oar race. as was ex-
pected, proved rather an easy victory
for Harvard The Crimson substitutes
took the lead at the snap of the pistol
and had no difficulty ip keeping it.
The freshmen contest was something Of
disappointment to the New Haven
men, for the Yale youngsters had been
picked as winners. Instead, Harvard
showed them its rudder for two miles
and the event was something in the ma
ture Of a procession.
