z soSss.r as the esafFargemepts of the
convention, hall are concerned, every.
thing is in readiness for the fall of th1
gayel that will call to order the thil-
teenth national convention of the Re
publican party. Inside and out the
Coliseum is bright with flags an
bunting, flags of immense proportions
flying from all of the towers ami min
arets that adOrn the Wabash avenue
facade of the structure The platform
for the speakers and officers of the
convention is at the east end of the
hall, and directly faces the main ell
frances. A broad aisle leads the way
IAN the entrance to the platform In
sem,lTTircle at the base of the pla-
'orm, desks ifPye been provided for
MEMBERS of the press. Inc platLoHl
fur newspaper men is three zee,
above the level of the delegate floor,
and the platform for speakers is four
feet above this. Provisions have been
made for seating members of the ma
tional committee on a platform pro-
vided for the presiding officer and
secretaries.
At the rear of this, at an elevation
of three feet is still another platform
which will be reserved for the accom-
modation of distinguished guests Del
egates themselves will be accommo-
dated with chairs on the floor of the
hall, arranged in the shape of fan,
so that all delegates will face the
presiding officer. The places to be
occupied by hedelegations from the
several states and territories, includ.
ing Porto Rico and Hawaii, are des-
ignated by standards. The seats have
been arranged in such a way as to
make access and egress easy, and the
exits are sufficiently numerous to pre-
vent any discomfort or crowding of
those who have business before the
convention.
This convention may be truthfuliE
termed a Roosevelt convention. 1t Is
doubtful If a dissenting vote will be
cast against the nomination of the
president. The selection of the can
didate for vice president will afford
the only contest in the convention,
and even this is not expected to be a
very spirited proceeding. Several sec
tions Of the country have put forth
favorite sons for the honor, but it is
pretty we'll understood that the Mid
die West will furnish the man.
The convention will consist of 9SS
delegates. OF this number 70S are
hnder instructions to vote for the
president, and of the remaining 2SO
large number are tacitly instruct
ed. A remarkable fact is that not a
single delegate is under Instructions
to vote for any other candidate.

have solid delegations under instruc.
