WHAT THE STAR DID.
TIE Seattle Star was largely
Instrumental in securing the c.
Z Convention for this city.
On Saturday. October ?. The
Star exclusively proposed 20
the people OF this city that they
make a determined effort TO get
the convention. The advan-
tages to accrue 70 Seattle from
L were pointed out. II was
stated thai Los Angeles. Kan
sas City and Minneapolis were
seeking the convention. as
against Seattle.
For three days The Star
hammered away alone on the
proposition and succeeded in
srousing public interest. The
other daily papers kept silent.
Considerable opposition was
temporarily aroused to the
project in certain quarters.
based on a claim that the city
was not large enough TO handle
the convention. but all this soon
subsidized.
The Times finally took up
the proposition very mildly,
The P.-I refused to do any
thing.

AGAIN PUSHES PROJECT.

But on January Q. last. The
Star again brough; the eouven-
ton project before. the public
by calling for immediate action
towards raising the required
guarantee fund OF $4,000 for
the expenses.
IL started the list itself by
subscribing $500. There was
an immediate response from a
number OF well known business
houses. which telephoned in
subscriptions. The Star then
offered 10 print all subsefip-
tons as fast as received.
Within a few days The Star
raised It's subscription TO ST 600.
Almost solely by its efforts
the guarantee fund was finally
increased TO more than $4,000.
On last Monday night Mr..
Barth telegraphed TO the gen
erai board in New York that
the guarantee fund had been
partly raised and that he was
certain that the balance could
be secured without trouble II
the convention came here. The
Star also sent a telegram 20
similar effect.
