Joseph L. Bristow does not think
that Senator Longs organization
will count for much at the August
primary. Mr.. Long is said to have
three personal representatives in
every voting precinct in the state,
whose duty it is to see that every
voter who will vote for the Sena-
tor is gotten to the polls. Mr.. Bris-
tow says that these personal rep
resentatives" consist of present and
prospective pie eaters and that the
general public have them spotted
and he figures that they will dc
Senator Long more harm than
good.

An attorney generals opinion is
all right so far as it goes but after
all it is the supreme courts guess
that counts. Therefore, the 6pin-
son rendered by Attorney General
Jackson that Samuel Griffin should
be nominated for representative in
preference to VIM. Gesner is mere
ly pe1functory and not in any sense
final Nothing short of the strong
edict of the court of last resort can
make certain the will of the E. o. p.
hosts, as it will be remembered

Are we to understand from this
that Editor Faxon is on record as
saying that neither Stubs nor Le-

peating after August 4th.

PLANS ABOUT READY
FOR DENVER MEETING
Work on Auditorium Hurried Until
All that Remains Is the Placing
of the Seats.
RECORD THRoNG IS EXPECTED
Democrats Say Requests for Places
Are Twice as Numerous as at
Any Other Convention.

Preparations for the national Dem
ocratic convention have been practi-
cally completed. Work ON the new au-
ditorium in Denver has been hurried
until nothing remains to be done ex-
cept to place the seats in position and
allot the space to various delegations.
As an indication of what the attend
ance will be. the unusual demand for
seats is significant Those in charge
of the convention for the national COM
mittee say the requests are easily twice
as numerous as at any other conven-
ton the Democratic party has held.
All the delegations so far selected by
the various States have been provided
with headquarters and the printing of
tickets and badges has been attended
to. A special souvenir badge has been
prepared for the members of the ma
tional committee. and there also will
be a special badge for delegates The
arrangements for dOOrkeeperS and
guards in the auditorium have not been
fully made This work will be more
comprehensive than usual this year
Admission tickets to the general pub
lie will provide for seats in certain
specified sections, to which ticket hold
ars will be directed by ushers In this
manner the confusion and noise occa-
stoned by a large crowd pressing to-
ward the most desirable seats will be
eliminated. 1t is expected that at each
session of the convention 1900 people
will be provided with seats There also
will be limited number of standing
room tickets issued
The members of the national commit
tee will hold a meeting in Denver in the
latter part of June and decide ON the
temporary chairman. The decorations
for the convention will be the most
elaborate that have been attempted in
Denver. Electrical effects will be con-
spicuous and flags and bunting will be
used in lavish manner.
