CELEBRATES
DEMOCRATIC
SUCCESS
UNTERRIFIED GATHER AT
BANQUET IN BALTIMORE
No Dollar Dinner This, But Best
That Land Affords is None
Too Good For Victorious
Congressman Elect,

(By Morning journal sDeciai Lsassa wirel
Baltimore. Jan. 16.-Content in the
lean years of defeat to dine at dol
lar dinners" with "hog and hominy'
as the central theme and spring wa
ter on the side the militant demo-
cracy of 1911 win sit at feast here
tomorrow night where the exclusive
diamond back terrapin will vie with
the aristocratic canvas back duck and
the epicurean Smithfield ham in the
courses of banquet that is fittingly
TO celebrate the democratic victories
of 1910.
The banquet will be the closing fea-
ture of day given over to harmony
conference among democrats from
various sections of the country. Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio, and Champ
Clark of Missouri, are to be the CEN
tral figures. Both will deliver for
NAL addresses at a meeting in the aft
ernoon and probably will be called
upon at the banquet, although neith-
er Is on the regular list of after din
ner speakers
Senator Bailey of Texas Governor
Foss of Massachusetts; former Repre-
sentative Theodore M. Bell of Cali
fornia: former Senator Blackburn of
Kentucky; Senator Taylor of Tennes-
,see; Senator Shively of Indiana; Rep
. resentatiye Martin W. Littleton of
New York; National Chairman Nor
man Il. Mack and Deacon" James
c. Hemphill of Richmond, are among
others scheduled to take part in the
conference end to deliver speeches.
A special train from Washington will
bring to Baltimore practically every
democratic member of the senate and
house of representatives
Cntrary to the general impression,
the meetings will constitute a cele-
bration rather than a conference, and
no great political significance il ex-
pected to attach to the proceedings.
The men who proposed the celebra-
tion and who have had charge Of the
plans, declare there is no purpose of
starting a boom for any man for
president.
They say that so far as Governor
|,Harmon Is concerned, his boom" is
already under way and has been for
some time.
Democratic leaders resent the idea
that the conference is intended 70
| bring about harmony in the demo-
cratic ranks. They say it is simply
to celebrate harmony already attain
ed. No attempt will be made to fix a
policy as to the course of the demo-
cratic majority in the house of rem
resentatives.
NO resolution binding the demo-
cracy TO any candidate for any ma
tlonal office will be considered sin
order and there will be no anneals
from the chair on this parliamentary
point. A free, open discussion of
democratic principles has been In
vited
INFORMAL conferences undoubtedly
VIII be held during the day. but most
OF the democrats who will be in Bal
timore already have had an opnor-
tunity to talk the situation over. Gov
erhor Harmon recently passed a week
IN washington and while there was
IN conference with most of the demo-
cratic leaders in congress.
Before the toastmaster raps for or
uer' however the diners are expected
TO make away with 1000 Lynhaven
oysters, 10 gallons of diamond back
terrapin, 1850 pounds of jersey
capon, $50 canvas back ducks. AZ
smithfield hams, 1000 cocktails. ECO
quarts of champagne. 400 quarts of
sauterene and 1926 worth of fancy
ices. The smoke from 5000 perfecto
| cigars Will make the air blue during
the response to the various toasts.
