Convention Of 1900.

when the last national convention was
held in Kansas City in 1900 the unusually
large crowds in attendance were very COM
fortably entertained but since that time
many f1rst-class hotels have been erected
and the hotel capacity of the city practi-
| cally doubled.
Our convention hall is admittedly the
most complete and perfectly equipped
| large auditorium in America. and mas
much as next years convention will prob
| ably be the largest ever held In the coun-
| try, we regard this fact as an important
one in favor of Kansas City 1t has a
seating capacity of about 10000 persons,
and Its acoustic properties are SO near
perfect that an ordinary public speaker
| can be distinctly heard in every part Of
the hall. The facilities for the use of the
press i'll reporting the convention are not
| equaled by any other public building in
| Tins country. The newspaper fraternity
who attended the national convention in
1900 declared that the convention hall at
| Kansas City had no equal in this respect
| kansas City Is prepared to meet such
| requirements as the national committee
may deem proper in the way Of conven-
| ton expenses
None of the other cities mentioned ia
doing very much in the way Of hustIinc
