Convention Hall, Denver, July T.
The Democratic national convention

scenes of stirring animation. The vast

packed with 1900 people, an ever
moving. intense expeectant throng.

into tumultuous demonstrations as a

within the hall.

The convention promptly perfected
the preliminary organization. electing
Theodore A. Bell of California as tenn

forth enthusiastic demonstration for

The appointment of the convention
committees and the presentation Of
resolutions of the respect to the MEM

Public interest was entirely center

vention and aside from this the day
brought few Developments as to the
candidates or platform. The over
whelming drift of sentiment continues
towards Bryan and the opening session
only emphasizes his commanding hold
on the convention.

On two of the streets fronting the
auditorium great banks of snow gave
a cool greeting to the visitors. From the
mountain heights the snow had been
brought down to this mile high level
on a special train and hauled through
the city in carts of various descrip-
tions.
The day was by no means hot, how
ever, and the only effect of the snow
was the novelty of an icy street scene
in July.
The doors of the hall were unbarred
at lilo o'clock, nearly one hour before
the gavel of National Chairman Tag
CART was scheduled to fall as the sig
nal for the beginning of the initial ses-
sion.
The apparent conveniences, facilities
and architectural fitness of the new
auditorium for convention purposes was

Denver, July practical test was
applied today to the great convention
hall which the people of Denver have
erected and especially for the Demo-
cratic national convention. Let no
one entertain the idea, as did many of
the delegates before their arrival
here, that the convention is to meet
in a great barnlike temporary struc-
ture, hastily flung together with frail
and inflammable materials, to serve
somehow for one occasion; of doubt
full acoustic properties and scant fit
ness for even temporary purpose.
The first impression the stranger gets
from a view of the building is that of
permanency. Granite and steel, brick
and concrete have been used without
stint. This is first of all a vast house
for the meeting of large conventions,
not only this one, but many yet to
gather from all parts of the country.
On the other hand, for the people of
Denver it is to be home theater, well
planned, convenient and of reasonable
proportions to house in comfort audi
ences to be gathered in a wide awake
city of nearly 100000 people.
The building, of pale gray brick and
granite, occupies the entire Four
teenth street half of the block on the
east side of Fourteenth street between
Curtis and Champa streets, on the
western end of the business section of
the city and within easy walk of the
hotels and railroads. 1t is a massive
structure, effective in design and with
a beauty of it's own. There is an en-
tire absence of tawdry gingerbread
effects and the lines are simple and
handy yet graceful and pleasing.
Within, the arrangement of the audi
torium appears to be especially well
planned to secure the utmost capacity
and the greatest convenience of the
delegates and others with a view of
seeing and hearing. The arrangement
of the platform and seating differs
from that of the Chicago coliseum in
that while there the platform was at
one end. of the auditorium, here it is
at the side. so that no auditor is more
than half the length of the hall from
the speaker. The reservation for the
delegates and alternates is in the CEN
ter, extending clear across the hall;
the spaces for spectators are at the
ends and in the ample galleries.
Entrances and Exits.
The arrangement of entrances and
exits is more than ordinarily effective
and it is said that in case of emer-

position standard was close behind
New York, and somewhat to the left.
Down the center aisle behind Nebraska
came Oklahoma and Michigan and
across from them and in the rear of
Indiana were Kentucky and Pennsyl-
vania. Colorado was properly placed
for convention host, being far off to
the left, where the seeing was poor
and the hearing no better With the
golden state along the. outer edge,
were Mississippi, Wisconsin and Idaho.
Minnesota was less advantageously
placed than Nebraska, the Johnson
boomers being located far in the rear
of the left center of the group OF
states. The Gray men from Delaware
were on the left of New York with
their friends from New Jersey who to-
day announced their intention to fight
for Gray when the presidential strug-
gle is on, close by them.
Far in the rear of all the states with
its little blue. standard nailed on the
outside of the railing dividing the seats
of the delegates from those of the al
ternates was the delegation from the
Philippines the one body of men in
the convention with a designated abid-
ing place and no part in the proceed
ings.

Denver. Colo, July THE New

a heated argument in their caucus to
vote for George Gray of Delaware for
president. 1t was also decided to
vote under the unit rule. The latter
decision was not reached until after
long debate which at times was
somewhat heated. Robert Hudspeth
was elected a member of the national
committee and James Smith. jr., was
chosen to represent the state on the
committee on resolutions.

Two State Contests Settled.
Denver, Colo, July THE national
committee sitting as a whole today
approved the findings of the subcom-
mittees in the contests from Idaho and
Pennsylvania, reported yesterday. The
result was the seating on the tempor-
airy roll call of the convention of the
Gubers- -Heitfeldt faction from Idaho.
and of an anti-Guffey man in Pennsyl-
vania.
The committee refused to consider
the contest in Ohio, on which Mayor
Tom L. Johnson. of Cleveland, yester-
day agreed to ask for a reconsideration
and the finding of the national COM
mittee as reported yesterday stands
unless it is overturned by the commit
tee on credentials.
