In a speech recently delivered in the

lucky referred to Roosevelt as IAN
obscure adventurer." We don't admire
the President to any great extent. as
all know, but the Kentuckian evident

Whatever faults Mr.. Roosevelt may
have-and they ara many from our

The national conventions of the Dem

delegates will assemble in Denver
which Is the farthest point west ever
visited by them for the purpose of pre-
pairing a Presidential ticket.
The first regular National Democrat
ic Convention was held in Baltimore
in 1892. Andrew Jackson and Martin
spective,y for President and vice-Pres-
tdent. 1t was in this assem~age that
the famous two thirds rule was adopt
ed by which all subsequent Democrat
selves in making nominations. Mfr.
Van Buren, was not the free choice Of
the Democrats for Vice President. but
Jackson desired his nomination and 1t
was made.
The Democrats met in Baltimore
also In 1888, 1910, 1874. 1s4s and 1852.
In the 1885 convention 1t is related
that the officeholders who took part
were counted and their names were
published In the body which assem-
her to cast the vote of Massachusetts,,
and several Of the Western States were
thinly represented. At thta period 1t
was not so easy to Tavel long dis
many absentees whep the roll of DEL
egates was called.
In 1885 the Democrats tried Cincin-
natl, but in 1850 returned south. meet
ing some seceders who held separate
meeting-and adjourned to meet in
Baltimore. The Democrats tried Chi
cago first for a convention city in 1864,
went to Tammany Hall. New York. in
1868. and in 1872 nominated Horace
Greeley in Baltimore. But since then
they have met in either st. Louis, Gin

The change from Southern cities to
Northern or Western ones for the per-
Torrance of convention work Is due to
several good reasons. In the first
place. in former times the bulk of the
population Of the country was to be
found far east of the Rocky Noun
tains. and, In fact. more confined to
the original thirteen States. The West
was, In the words of a stump orator.
"a bowling wilderness Hence. II was
natural for the early conventions to be
held in Baltimore which was near the
capital and easier OF access for the
delegates. the majority OF whom came
from Northern and Southern States,
Baltimore was then quite a central
city so far as the population of the
country was concerned.
AS the new States grew and the pop
ulation and means of transportation in
creased. the Western states had to be
considered. Therefore. the Democrats
assembled in Cincinnati st. Louis and
Chicago. The number OF delegates has
greatly increased also 1t now being
1000 who will go out to Denver.
