he would be decisively defeated, merely
because of his active candidacy. SO stronl
is this feeling that Ii may be regarded as
a tradition, unwritten, but quite as bind
ing as though 1t were set forth IN th'
constitution.
In the past there have been sharp rival
ries on the convention floor between parti.
sans of various cities desirous of securing
the convention for the following year. but
these slkirmishes have left no scars. Sucf
a struggle Is on this year between Cleye-
land. Ohio and st. Paul, Mimi, with the
chances probably favoring. the city farther
east. st. Paul entertained the convention
in 1890, while Minneapolis, the other twin
was similarly honored in 1902. For this
reason 1t is scarcely likely that Minnesota
will again secure the coveted meeting
especially since the association, in all the
years of its existence, has never met in
Ohio. The Buckeye boomers maintain
that 1t is their turn and probably they
will get the plum.
