BALTIMORE, Md, June 1s.-over
Swallowed politically by the sensa
tional goings-on in Chicago, Baltimore
welcomes the prospective end OF the
battle there and will itself shine in
the llmelight next week.
Final plans are rapidly being com
pleted and before the week ends
Maryland's metropolis will be ready
to care for the Democratic hosts,
Strong rivals with the candidates in
discussion and conferences are the
questions whether the unit rule and
the requirements OF two-thirds of the
delegates to make nomination
should be eliminated.
There Is strong sentiment among
Democratic leaders who have arrived
here in favor of changing the two;
thirds rule to a majority. All are
agreed, however, that no change will
be made to apply. to the present con.
yention. The most done II any ac,
ton Is taken, will be submission OF
the question to the Democrats in the
states their verdict to be reported to
the convention in 1916.
AS to candidates there are seven
having pledged delegates in their
favor and there Is much gossip re-
garding a few possible dark horses.

Present indications are that the year
1912 will see the Tulsa post office
transacting business that at the
years end will total right around the
$4,000 mark. The city is in an excel

is n spirit OF tetlvity that far out-riVals
that of any time In the city's history.
There Is perhaps, no better harome-
ter of the condition OF a city than Its

hesitatingly welcome careful study
