WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR.
Cool Nights and Delightful indian
Summer to Be Expected at St. Louis.

Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at ST. Louis.
Usually the warmest month of the
year; July proved to be one of the most
pleasant of the Worlds Fair season,
the average temperature being 81 de-
grees, a record lower than that made
by either Boston, New York. Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati or Chicago. The
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures in st. Louis during July
were just between the extremes re-
corded at New Orleans and st. Paul.
cities located at great variance.
August in st. Louis is Il month of
cool nights, and September and Octo-
Der are the most delightful months OF
the year. 1t is that period known as
Indian summer, when the foliage and
birds linger to challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the American con-
tinent is there Il spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city. a garden
of blooming flowers and spraying foun-
tains.
st. Louis. like all cities, experienced
several hot days during July, but her
highest temperature recorded was 93
degrees against 81 degrees registered
by the thermometer at Chicago. On
the same day the mercury rose to 90
degrees in Philadelphia, and scores of
heat prostrations were reported from
New York and Boston.
The relative humidity shows st.
Louis to be about normal. Assuming
absolutely no moisture in the atmos-
phere to be zero and absolute wetness to
be 100. the relative humidities for July.
taken from the records of more than
twenty years, Boston shows 1916, New
York I'D, Philadelphia 6S.6. Cincin-
natl G4.6. Chicago $50 and st. Louis
1913 The same degree of heat in two
places. with different degrees of hu-
nudity. would cause it to seems the
hotter ut the point of greater density.
st. Louis may therefore rightly claim
to be II summer resort this summer,
positively one of the most comfortable
and delightful places on the map.

Washington, avg. 6.-Ecpresentatirc
Champ Clark arrived !n the city to-day en-
route to New York to notify Judge Parker
on August 10 of his nomination by the st.
Louis convention. Incidentally Mr.. Clark
is here to attend to some matters in the
department. He Is accompanied by his
son and will leave for New York some
time tomorrow.
Mr.. Clark has been ON a lscturing and
debating tour since the st. Louis conven-
lion and has beenNin several States. In
fact, he has heen all over Illinois and
Ohio, a good deal of Michigan, Indiana
ard Kentucky and three other States. He
is full of enthusiasm for Parker and Davis
and goes to New York fresh from the
field of debate in the Buckeye State where
General Grosvenor crossed swords with
him. Mr.. Clark has not the slightest
doubt that Parker will be elected.
Speaking TO the Republic correspondent
lie said:
Sine the st. Louis convention business
has taken me into eight different States.
1 have inquired diligently to find ont what
public sentiment is with reference to the
pending campaign. My honest opinion is
that Parker and Davis will be elected by
somewhere from three majority In the
ELECTORAL College, up.
1T Is not going TO be . hurrah cam
paign on either side. but people seem 20
have made up their minds how they are
going to vote.
There is one State with four electoral
votes that nobody hardly ever puts even
in the doubtful column. That IS Rhode
Island. 1t has elected a Democratic O
ernor twice hand-running. and has a
Democratic Governor now. Counting
Rhode Island for Parker, and counting
Wisconsin against him, estimate that
he will get three majority in the Electoral
College. If you count Wisconsin for him
he gets sixteen majority, and this Is not
counting Indiana or Illinois. Utah or
Idaho, any one OF which Is liable to go for
him.
80 far as Missouri Is concerned. we
will elect the whole ticket from some
where between 5000 and 10000 majority,
elect fifteen out of sixteen members of
Congress and the State Legislature. 1t is
