Opposed TO Long Session.
With the arrival of the bulk Of the
delegates today. there were signs OF a
serious revolt against the plans Of the
leaders TO hold the convention here
until Saturday. This plan was based on
an agreement with the hotel men and
others who put up the money TO bring
the convention here, and think they
need four days to reap their due profit.
The delegates do not see why they
should be made 20 pay for an extra day
when no one claims that IL can be use
full. They are showing signs Of re-
bellion at the prospect of listening 10
the miles of speeches with which the
leaders plan TO fiji in the time. The re-
volt can accomplish little-the leaders
have control Of the programme and in
tend 10 live up TO their promiSe-b
the feeling over il has helped to relieve
the tension caused by the complete and
Glowing harmony which has prevailed,
Plans were completed to-day for the
demonstration which will follow the
nomination Of Wilson, and II will be
noble effort. 1t is felt that there Is no
sense in trying TO break all records
there are some that ran for over an
hour-but il is insisted that every
thing done on behalf Of Hughes must
be surpassed. The lack Of enthusiasm
shown at Chicago makes this compare
lively easy, and the leaders think three
quarters Of an hour will just about Do.
Since the nomination and demonstra-
ton are planned 20 come late on Friday
night, after an all-day session Of talk
ing, il is expected that 1t Will be
welcome relief.
