able In the big single span sheds.
Steel columns win be set In row,

DEMOCRATS WILL

The Hearst Boom Led to

Yesterday
CONSERVATIVES TURNED TIDE
East Led by German, and New York
Delegation Threw the Convention to
the Exposition city-Msetins to be
Held July 6.

Washington. Jan. 1s.-rhe Presidential
boom OF William r. Hearst caused the
National Democratic Committee yoster-
day TO select S. Louis as the site OF the
next Democratic National Convention,
which Is to be held on July o.
This was done because the leaders
awoke ITO the danger that IN Chicago the
Hearst boomers would an the galleries
with their hired claque and attempt to
overawe the convention
The work was done in twenty-four
hours Senator German assuming the lead
work was utterly unexpected twenty-four
hours ago. Everywhere Gorman's men
were bu;t0nholing committeeman and
pouring the Hearst danger into their ears.
Senator Stone, OF Missouri. German
friend, had active charge Of the work
which was crowned with success by q
vote Of 2S for St. Louis 10 q for Chicago.
Monday all the talk was for Chicago,
Most Of the committeeman had assumed
the attitude 80 common IN tho North and
East of taking the Hearst boom lightly.
10 seemed so preposterous that they never
gave q a thought, much less regarded II
as a menace.
They had hardly arrived here befor,
these experienced politicians began to Sc,
peril and there was a. startling change
In their views. They found that all an,
radicals an the labor agitators all tn,
lunconverted free silver men. in AL part,
OF the country have been secretly a.
work building up a Hearst organization
This element. they discovered. Is going a
lmakc SIS last stand ln tho narornf CON
ventlon. How great iis strength will b.
they did nor know, but that it will be BIZ
enoug. to be a danger they quickly dis
covered.
