WHERE DEMOCRATIC CONVEN-
TON WILL MEET.

Denver, Colo, June 6.-Costing $780,
900, seating 1880 people, containing
probably the most perfect heating and
ventilating system of any public build
ing in the world. Denver's monster
Auditorium will throw opon its doors
June q to welcome the long list of con-
ventions to be held in Denver this sum-
mer.
The building is 266x200 feet in dimen-
sions and is of the height Of a tive-story
building. Its seating capacity is larger
than Madison Square Garden in New
York, which holds 10000 people, the
great Coliseum in Chicago, where the
republican convention is to be held in
June, which holds 11,011 people, or the
Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake, which
seats 10000. There are "a exits, includ-
ing 240 linear feet of exit space, and
the building can be emptied in two
minutes.
Two 15-foot fans at one end of the
building send air between steam pipe
coils throughout the house. Each coil
contains 1900 feet of pipe. Midway in
the Auditorium two fans, 10 feet in di-
remainder of the house. An exhaust

where it lies on the floor, and cxpel it
from the building. In summer the heat
ing apparatus is turned into cooling
plant by filling the coils of pipe with
cold water instead of steam. This sys-
| TEN OF ventilation, heating and cooling
is said to be the most perfect of any
public building in the world.
One of the great objections to ordi-
nary lightings is the constant buzzine
and swapping of the immense arc lights
which furnih illumination. In the Den.
yer Auditorium fourteen immense "clus
ter" lamps will be set in the ceiling
giving out steady radiance of 1,2S(
candle power each, which will do away
with the annoyance ordinarily caused
by arc lights. There will also be 10000
smaller lamps arranged about various
parts of the building. The Auditorium
is constructed entirely of fireproof ma
terial and will be the meeting place o
scores of great national convention
every year. This is the first time ma
tional political convention has been helt
in Denver, but the frequency will
which this city is chosen by the larg'
fraternal bodies, such as the Elks
Eagles, knights Templar, the Crane
Army of the Republic, and other sim
liar organizations, as their meeting
place required the construction of a.
immense assembly hall for their enter
tainment.

ODD OREGON ELECTION.

Governor George E. Chamberlain,
democrat, is the choice of the people Of
Oregon for the United States senator
ship to succeed Charles W. Fulton, re-
publican, and republican legislature
has been chosen to elect him. Chamber
lain's majority over his opponent.
Henry M. Cake, republican, will exceed
1000, it is believed.
Chamberlains victory is in the nature
of personal triumph. Oregon normally
is republican, and in 1904 Roosevelt's
plurality was 42,434. Chamberlain has
been twice elected governor.
people IS udioD of Chamberlain by the
senatorship. In Oregon candidates fol
the legislature align themselves either
on the statement No. 1" columns or or
the "anti-statement No. 1" column
Statement No. l. is pledge to sup
port in the legislature the candidate
having the endorsement of the people
and the ants prefer to elect a senator
by the old system.
The complexion of the next legisla
ture, as Indicated by the returns, will
be almost unanimously republican, ane
it may be the lot of republican legis
lature to send democrat to the senate
Already there is talk of defections from
the ranks of the Statement No. 1" legis
lators, and it is not impossible between
now and the date of the next session O
the legislature some plan may be de
vised to defeat Chamberlain and send
republican to the United States senate
From the figures at hand it would ap
pear that there will be 4S "statemen
No. 1" men in the next legislature. l
requires 46 to elect.
Prohibition was an important featur
in the election, the anti-saloon elemen
making surprising showing. From tn
returns at hand it is believed that nine
teen counties voted "dry." Four are il
doubt. One county is now dry and tire
partly dry
Equal suffrage was defeated by
heavy vote.

GOVERNMENT SPENDS MONEY

1t is worth noticing that people Of
weight are beginning to speak out very
plainly over the spending of immense
sums Of money for military and naval
purposes. Justice Brewer, before the
/ Pennsylvania Arbitration and Peace
Conference made a telling point. In
the thirty years after the civil war this
country paid off $2,00O,OOO,OOO of the
war debt. Since the Spanish-American
war the debt of S1,0O0,0OO,O00 has not
in ten years, been materially reduced,
though this country boasts more of it's
wealth and resources than ever before.
Justice Brewer very plainly shows
why this is. The appropriation for the
army and navy-not including pensions
lin the ten years since the Spanish
war exceeded the same appropriations
for the ten years before the war by
81, 119, 100000. In other words, the in
creased expenditure for purely military
purposes has been enough to wipe out
| the bonded debt. Yet we do not think
that any intelligent man will doubt
that there was greater contribution
to the real strength of the nation in
that record of debt-paying that fol
lowed the civil war than in that record
of enlarged expenditure that has been
made during the past ten years.
Fully as pointed is the protest of the
Interstate commerce committee of the
Manufacturers Association, against
spending money Gin so lavish measure
on battleships and militarism," while
works that would increase the produc
tive wealth Of the country are stinted
or absolutely neglected. 1t is strik
ing fact that while the need and i'm
portance of improving the interna
waterways has been more clearly recog
nized than ever, this session of congress.
did absolutely nothing for the further
ance of that systematic work, while
passing the biggest naval appropriation
and the greatest total of all appropri
ations ever put on record.
While no one would refuse necessar,
provision for defense the Manufacture
ers' committee draws the issue in tn,
following apothegram: sit pays 80 mucl
better to sell the foreigner our indus
trial product than to wage war wit
him that our investments ought to tax
the former rather than the latter di
rection."

A year ago farmers were getting 26
cents a pound for their wool; today they
are getting 16 cents. The decrease in
price is undoubtedly due to the Dingley
tariff schedules, which is credited by
the republican press with every rise in
price of that commodity.

again next winter, and the noisy but
good-natured Canadian will pick up his
share of all the stakes and purses hung
up at santa Anita. Lee Rose will be
a bear in any company In his class,
while Sir Edward and Marster never
could run as good anywhere else as at
Santa Anita.
George Blake. who has been APP
pointed to succeed Tommy Walsh as
preliminary referee for both the local
fight clubs, has more than made good
since his appointment. Just why
George should not develop speedily into
one of the best In the business Is not
easy to explain.
Billy Aldridge says he will put on
another boxing show at his Venice club
a week from next Thursday night, and
promises to make the main event a
twenty-round affair between bows that
the fans want to see matched In that
event Bill will be agreeably surprised
at the box Office showing, as the fans
will turn out to his Venice shows when
good attractions are billed.
Kansas Price and his string Of racers
have left Seattle, as have several other
stables, and this means that another
detachment of racing material is due
at Santa Anita within a day or two.
Price always has had the habit of win
ming a few races every meeting, and
probably will keep up his record next
winter.

buzzes with new ideas, has issued a
novel advertising card for his Ship

Welsh announcing that he will put on

He will box not less than ten rounds.

8 o'clock. so those fans who expect to
attend should not delay longer than

the National league has narrowed
down to a three-club struggle, 1t seems,
with the chances favoring New York
at this time. Chicago plays Cincin-

morrow with Pittsburg at home. Pitts

with Chicago tomorrow at Chicago.
New York, now only one point behind
Pittsburg, plays Philadelphia today
and closes with three games with Bos-
ton at New York, beginning Monday.
With three easy games ahead of them,
New York has the best of 1t, while
Chicago and Pittsburg have only two
games, one of them hard one, to
play. In the American league 1t looks
like Cleveland. Detroit plays st. Louis
today and closes at Chicago with three
games, beginning tomorrow. Cleye-
land plays Chicago today at Cleveland
and closes with three games with ST.
Louis at st. Louis. With only four
points to overcome and playing a
weaker team in three of the four
games remaining, Cleveland should
cop the bunting. Such an effort as
ali these teams will put up in the next
three days never has been witnessed
In any season. Chicago and New York,
lin the National, may play off their tie
but it is doubtful.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 2.-As the result of
a double victory over st. Louis here
today, Pittsburg is now in the lead In
the National league pennant race by
a half point. The first game was
practically a walkover for the Pitts
burg team, which won to 4. Liefield
pitched good ball, while Beebe was hit
freely. In the second game 1t looked
for a time as though Pittsburg might
lose. st. Louis scored in the third in
ming, but in the seventh Gibson tied
the score with a home run. In the
ninth Wagner also made a home run,
thus winning the game for the visitors
by the score of 2 to /. Camnitz and

the entire game. Philadelphia used
three pitchers in the first inning, dur

hits, two errors and six bases on balls
being thrown in. Tenney opened with
a pass and scored when Herzog sin
gled and went on to third on Osborne's
tumble. McCormick's single scored

and Knabe fumbled Devlin's grounder.
Bresnahan and Bridwell each walked,

ANGELS WIN IN
SEESAW GAME
FOURTEEN INNINGS REQUIRED
FOR RESULT
Seals Take Lead In Fifth, Are Passed
in Eighth, Tie Score In Ninth
and Finally Beaten in
Fourteenth
Angels 8, Seals 2

1t required fourteen innings of good
| ball playing, and fine generalship for
the champions to take the fourth game
of the series with the Seals yesterday,
but they showed their class and stuck
on the job long enough to turn the
trick by score of to 2. Griffin, the
former Texan Lacquer, twirled for the
Seals, while Dolly Gray did the
fiinging for the champs. and 1t was as
pretty game as one would care 10
see, despite the numerous errors made
behind these twirling duelists.
Griffin was in great form and held
the Angels at his mercy for seven
heartbreaking innings. Meantime, the
Seals had put over one run and the
prospect seemed most favorable for a
Seal victory. Bpt in the eighth the
Angels ratified the Seals, and before the
flelders got back on earth two unearned
runs crossed the pan, giving the champs
lead of one run. The fans thought
everything was going off nicely until
the first half of the ninth, when COM
bination of circumstances and mispiays
and poor judgment enabled the Seals
to tie the score. Then both pitchers
and their fielders settled down to the
business Of winning the game over
again, and It ran on until the last half
of the fourteenth inning, with two men
out, before a result was reached.
/ Bernard, whose return to the game
was most timely, is the little man most
responsible for the winning run In the
fourteenth. Ellis flew to Curtis and
then Bernie decided to prevent any tied
score or defeat for his team and he
smashed the ball away over against the
score board. Before it was fielded the
speedy fielder had gone to second base.
He went to third when Brashear flew
to the outfield, and scored when zeider
was attacked with the rattles and made
bad bobble at short. Then everybody
went home satisfied with life. The
score:
