His opportunities to make lifelong
enemies are quite as good as his
chances of making friends among the
leaders of his party.
The republican national convention
will meet in Philadelphia June 10. Date
and place were selected by the national
committee last December, and ever
since that time George N. Wiswell, of
Milwaukee, Wis, who was appointed
sergeant-at-arms of the national COM
mittee, has devoted almost all of his
time to the work assigned to him, for
which he will receive no compensation.
except expenses actually incurred in
the performance of his duties.
AS soon as the local committee decid-
ed that the convention was to be held
in the Exposition building, Mr.. Wiswell
went to that city and consulted archi-
tects regarding the Encouragement OF
the auditorium of the structure for
convention purposes. Committeeroo
had to be added to the conveniences OF
the hall and the seating capacity en-

July 5. 1t will, of course be impossi-
bic to have the interior completed by
that time. but everything will be in APP
ple-pie order for convention purposes.
The stage will have seating capacity
of 1000, and on the arena floor will be
placed chairs for 5000 delegates, alter
mates, state committees and prom
inent party men. On either side and in
front of the stage will be the desks for
600 working newspa per men and ar
lists. For the other thousands who will
attend the convention great tiers OF
temporary seats will be built entirely
around the arena in circus fashion.
Col. Martin is confident that the new
hall will answer every reasonable re-
quirement and will be especially con-
venient as far as committee and retir-
ing rooms are concerned.
The headquarters of the democratic
national committee will be in the mag
nificent house of the Kansas City club,
non-partisan organization, which
has placed all of it's property and ap-
purtenances at the disposal of Chair
man Jones and his colleagues. Tho

Kansas City being a municipality OF
little more than 100000 people, fears
were entertained that it would be I'M
able to take care of the. thousands OF
visitors who usually follow national
conventions, but assurance has been
given to Col. Martin that no one need
go without good food or comfortable
shelter. The local committee, some
weeks ago, divided the city into ~ dis
tricts, and each of these districts is de
vided into 20 parts: and for each of the
subdivisions precinct captain was app
pointed for the purpose of ascertaining
how many visitors could be enter
tanned by private families. The result
of this canvass demonstrated beyond
doubt the city's capacity for housing
and feeding more people than ever at,

guest or employee. This.ruling necessi-
tated the printing of an enormous
quantity of tickets, a delicate duty to
which Mr.. Wiswell gave his personal
attention.
Col. John I. Martin, of ST. Louis, will
be sergeant-at-arms of the national
democratic convention, which is called
to convene at Kansas City, Mo-, July
4. The colonel is an experienced hand
at managing big gatherings, having
served as sergeant-at-arms for a num-
Der of state conventions and for the
democratic convention Of 1896. He be-
gan his labors before February and
had made considerable progress to-
ward getting the big construction hall
in order for the nations democracy
when the fire of April destroyed tho
building completely. For day or
two it looked as though the convention
would have to be held elsewhere, but,
with characteristic western enterprise.
the people of Kansas City concluded to
rebuild the hall in bigger. better and
handsomer fashion, and assured COL

child's play. It requires exec
utive ability of the highest order and
the exercise of unlimited patience and

reasons it is sometimes difficult for the
national committees of the two great

ment of their conventions. The gener-
al impression that the chairman and
secretary of the national committee
are in charge of the convention is err
roneous. This duty devolves upon the
sergeant-at-arms, an official who is
chosen by the national committee as
soon as the location of the convention
has been decided upon.
The sergeant-at-arms has sometimes
been called the general business man
ager of convention, and the title is
not as exaggerated as it might seem.
He is responsible for the proper ar
