CH|CAGO WANTS
THE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION

Washington, Dec. 9.--Indications point TO
a lively fight before the Democratic ma
tional committee, which is 10 meet on
Thursday OF this week, by several cities
that are aspirants for the honor OF enter
tanning the Democratic national conven-
ton OF 1905.
Chicago, Denver, Cleveland and Louis
vile are after the convention and each
will make an active contest to land It.
Tom Johnson of Cleveland has an
nounced that in his opinion the Ohio city
is the hest location that could be selected
for the convention. Believing that money
talks, he has caused It to be made known
that he will come to Washington with
s1O0, 600 which will be turned over 60 the
national committee il IL consents to Sc
lect Cleveland as the convention city.
Denver, having lost the big Republican
gathering now intends to make try for
the Democratic convention. Louisville
was very anxious n few weeks ago to
capture the convention and is still after it,
but will probably make only perfume
tory fight. This is because OF the fact that
the action OF the common council OF that
city I'm voting $1,000 to be used as a fund
in booming Louisville as a desirable con-
vention city has been declared by the
state courts TO be unconstitutional. Louis
Vile may withdraw from the race at the
last moment
Just what Chicago intends TO do is not
definitely known here. That city came
near losing the Republican convention be-
cause OF the slowness of her representa-
tives, who were charged with the duty of
looking after her interests.

AN OLD WlNN
PARISH PAPER
The Creola Mail Was Published
Where Montgomery Is
Now Located.

Volume l, No. il. of the Creola
Mail, published Aug. IL, 1859, at
Creola, montgomery Winn par
lsh, was handed us Wednesday by
Mr.. r. w. Horn, of Montgomery,
which was then Creola and part
of Wlnn parish. The Mail was
edited by IL. Myers and was a hot
Independent paper and had the
announcement of several candi-
dates in its columns for parish
Offices to be voted on at an election
to follow IN November of that
year. They were Christian Riser,
candidate for Representative; J.
II. Lacy, for Sheriff; w. j. Rob-
erts, for Clerk; VIM. Stoyall, and
j. B. Low, candidates for Asses
sor.
A paper called the Southern
Sentinel was then being published
at Winfield and judging from the
extracts published in the Mail
from the Sentinel it was an adj
ministration Democratic journal
and was advocating conventions
over primaries for the nomination
of candidates, and like most
Independent journals the Mail
was kicking the wind out Of ev.
erything that had any tendency
toward Capitalization.
The old relic handed us by Mr..
Horn was a five-column, four
page, all-home-print paper and
was brim full of home news, al
most all of which was campaign
thunder from the pens of the
many Independents.
The Mail contained but very
few commercial advertisements,
and the names of the only men
advertising business concerns that
are remembered by US wereSamuel
Bernstein, of Creola, and Philip
Bernstein, of Winfield. -Grant
