its outcome that ticket was as i'll
starred as the one headed by Douglas
twelve years earlier.
1t Is an interesting coincidence that
the first Democratic convention met
in Baltimore just eighty years ago
and the last one exactly forty years
ago.
Since 1872 the Democratic conven-
ton cities and nominees have been as
follows. 1876, Samuel j. Tilden at
Chicago; 1880, Winfield Scott Han
cock at Cincinnati; 1884, Grover Cleve-
land at Chicago; 1883, Grover Cleve-
land at ST. Louis; 1892; Grover Cleve-
land at Chicago, 1896, William j.
Bryan at Chicago; 1900. William ].
Bryan at Kansas City; 1904. Alton b.
Parker at st. Louis; 1908, William ],
Bryan at Denver.
Convention This Year.
The conclave of this year will be the
t~wenty-first regular Democratic con-
~vention held and the ninth to meet in
Baltimore. Only fifteen men have
been named for President at the
twenty previous conventions, and but
six of these were elected. Outside of
the eight conventions in Baltimore
four we're held in Chicago, three in
st. Louis, two in Cincinnati and one
each in New York, Kansas City and
Denver.
At noon tomorrow Norman f.
Mack, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, calls the o n
vention to order in the Fifth regi-
ment armory, Baltimore. He will
look out on the largest convention
ever assembled in America, 1904 dele
gates, as many more alternates and
probably $4,000 other people. Likewise
he will face the brightest outlook fos'
victory that the Democrats nave seen
in twenty years. He will see on the
floor as a delegate-at-large from Ne
braska the man who has thrice been
the Standard bearer of the party.
There will be seven avowed candi-
dates before the convention. How
many will there be after the first bal
lot?
A United Democracy.
The meeting will be under bright
auspices. The party will be more
nearly united than it has been at any
time since 1898. 1t has more than
! sixty majority in the national House

BRYAN-W|LSON
PACT IS ALLEGED

BALTIMORE, Md, June 24.-"That
there has been a perfect understand
ing for some time between William
Jennings Bryan and Woodrow wilson
that If one cannot, the other shall, be
the candidate for President is my
earnest conviction" said Lieutenant
Governor Hugh S. Nichols, of Ohio,
for Governor Harmon, last
night.
IT have been especially impressed
with this since Bryan and wilson
lined up together against Judge Par
ker for the temporary Craftsmanship
of the convention. Bryan seems to
have forgotten all the hard names he
has called Wilson and Wilson the UNI
kind attacks apd the opposition he
offered to Bryan's election in 1896 and
1900 in a contract to act together In
the convention. I do not believe the
combination can win.
How will the Harmon delegates
act on the temporary chairmanship
proposition?" was asked.
my belief is that they will vote
practically as a unit to sustain the
selection by the subcommittee Of
the national committee of Judge Par
ker. 1t is not a question of Parker
or any other particular man. We be-
lieve that in all cases the choice of
the subcommittee should be ratified
by the national committee, and by
the convention, so far as the tenn
porary Craftsmanship is concerned. If
the convention desires to upset the
selection of the committee, II can do
so. If 1t chooses to select another
than the temporary chairman for
permanent chairman, that is up to

BALTIMORE, June 24-The Demo-
cratic national convention of 1912 re-
turns to the city where the first ma
tional convention of that party as
sembled eighty years ago. Up to and
including 1924 presidential nominal
lions were made by committees of
Congress. In that year the system
was attacked, and between thai and
1928 various conventions were held in
different parts of the country, but no
Democratic national convention,
properly speaking, was assembled till
1882. That year one gathered at Bal
timore and nominated President An
drew Jackson for a second term.
The convention which named Mar
tin Van Buren, as Jackson's successor
also met in Baltimore, but was a
year ahead of time, being held in
1885. The four succeeding national
conventions of the party were likewise
held in the Maryland metropolis-that
of 1870 renominating Van Buren,, that
of 1914 naming James X. Polk, that of
1S4S selecting Lewis Cass and that
of 1852 choosing Franklin Pierce.
Thus far Baltimore as a Democratic
convention city was lucky, four of
the five candidates named there hav-
ing been elected.
With 1852, however, the sceptre and
the luck departed from Baltimore.
Four years later Buchanan was NOM
mated at Cincinnati. In 1860 the Dem
ocratic convention first met at
Charleston and split into fragments,
two of these afterward reassembling
in Baltimore and naming two tickets.
n headed by Stephen A. Douglas
and the other by John c. Breckin-
ridge. A third fragment reconvened
at Richmond and indorsed Breckin-
ridge, This splitting of the once
proud and triumphant Democracy
made possible the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and the party of Jeffer-
son and Jackson did not seat another
President till 1885.

Chicago is now. Not only the Demo-

lowed suit only once, Abraham Lin
coin being re%nominated in Baltimore
in 1854. His Democratic opponent in
that campaign was General George
b. Mcclellan, nominated at Chicago.
Only once has, a Democratic con-
vention gone to New York city. That
was in 1868. Horatio Seymour was
it's permanent chairman, was sprung
as a dark horse candidate and nomi-
mated against his protest.

any party al that of the Democrats,
which named Horace Greeley in 1872.
Greeley had already been made a
candidateeby the Liberal Republicans,
and there was nothing left for the
Democrats but to ratify him. which
some of them did with,wry faces. In
