Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-06-29
DEMOCRATS READY.
Delegates and Friends Will Leave for
 St. Louis Saturday.

Fourteen delegates who have been selected to go from Connecticut to St Louis to name man to run against President Roosevelt in November, will start on their errand in a few days. Most of them will leave Connecticut on Saturday, as they are scheduled to leave New York on Sunday. With the delegates will go fourteen alternates, and there will be a number of guests, which will bring the total in the party to forty or more. Hartford's former mayor will have with him as alternate his chief advisers during his adminis- tration, and Henry 0. Dissell of West Hartford goes to East Hartford and selects William l.. Hutting for his al ternate.
 The alternates to the republican con vention from this state were selected in convention, but the democratic dele gates are allowed to select their own alternates. That's about all the free dom they have, as they go to St Louis with the label bearing the name of the silent New Yorker, and bound and 1n- structed by ex-Goyernor Walters reso- lution to vote as a unit and all that sort of thing It may be fortunate TOT the Parker men that the Hearst minor ity in the delegation is so small, as 1t might be an interesting question, IT there were more Hearst delegates i'll the bunch. whether the alternates who were not selected by the convention were necessarily bound by the instruc, tions of the convention. However, the only Hearst man is Delegate McCabe of Cheshire and even if he chose to ab- sent himself at the time of voting for the candidate for the presidency, and his alternate were to cast the vote, there would be only one vote from Con- necticut for the New York editor. Delegate Louis A. Fisk has charge of the arrangements. The delegates will get together at the Grand Union hotel at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon and will leave over the New York Central. a half hour later They expect to get to St Louis early Monday evening. They will be quarteTed at the Hotel Jeffer- son during their stay in that city. The Connecticut delegation will have ban her of blue silk with the words "Qui Transtulit Sustinet, " which have no reference to St Louis hotel rates. After the democratic delegates, a1ternates and guests have accomplished their purpose they will scatter, some staying
 
 exposition and the others coming back by any old route they please. Some will dodge, the heat on their return trip by coming part of the way by boat
