Seeking Next Democratic Convention.
baltimore SUM

St Louis steps to the front and de-
mands both rational conventions in
1912 The main reas on she gives for
this modest request is that she has
new convention hall that will seat TO-
600 persons. She hopes the delegates to
former conventions in that city will
forget the venerable old a-etrep OF a
larn in which Parker was nominate
and which served for Mckinley and the
Populists in former years. There stili
dwells in the memory Of those who at
tended the democratic convention Of
1904 the SIS and go day they paid
for 50 rooms. the sumptuous SO dinners
which almost rival those served in Bal
-tmore at so cents and the genial man.
ner in which the Missourians separated
the visitors from their money.
ANY party that holds It's convention
in St. Louis Is tempting fate 1t was
there that the republican party split
found their happy shouting grounds:
there the democrats in 1904 fought ali
week and nominated the able but un-
fortunate Parker. Turbulence in the
air Of st. Louis. II pours from the tall
sn1 okestac ks and rises from the river.
If the democrats would nominate a
candidate in 1912 who will unite all the
elements Of the party. the place to hold
the convention is in Baltimore This IL
the city OF the open door and glad hand.
Terrapin. canvasback duck and Chesa-
peake oysters have soothing effect
that puts the most rabid insurgent in a
happy mood. The democrats are rot
looking for fighting ground They
want peace and unity for the good OF
the party and country.
Baltimore IS the home Of harmony an
well "a the capital OF democracy It has
a great fire proof hall that will seat 1j.-
600 persons It has plenty or noteis.
where the prices will be reasona BILE
enough TO delight the delegates, and
when they come. they will find on the
table everything on earth that is good
TO eat and drink. st. Louis can have the
republican convention IL It wants II
and can stand the gloom. But Baltimore
gives notice here and now that the con-
vention that will pick the winner is
going to be held RICH: here
