bers of the National Democratic Com
mttee's Subcommittee on Arrangements
for the Kansas City Convention, held d
brief meeting here to-day to investlgat e
the charges that the hotel keepers are de-
mandng exhorbitant rates. National
Chairman Jones issued a statement to the
country, in which he gives assurance that
not only can accommodations be had at
reasonable rates, but that as the situation
appears to him, convention visitors to
Kansas City may be taken care of at
more reasonable rates than has been the
case at any former convention.
The subcommittee also carefully inves-
tigated the progress being made al Con-
venton Hall. They no longer doubt the
in time.
It was decided that each of the $50 dele
gates should receive, besides his own seat.
four tickets of admission to all sessions to
the convention, but that no extra tickets
would be given to the alternates, their per-
quisites being limited to a seat in the con-
vention.
