One Thousand Democrats As
. SembIe as Delegates to Rat
ify What Wilson Wants.
GO THROUGH GOLDEN LANE
Wilson and Marshall Are to Be
Nominated at Democratic
National Meet.

ST. LOUIS, June Wilson and
Marshall and victory in November
was the program OF the delegates
who crowded into the big Coliseum
here today for the opening session
Of the Democratic national conven-
tion. There probably was not one
Democrat who went into the building
who could recall when a national
convention of that party entered up
on its work with more harmony than
that which prevailed among the more
than 1000 delegates today. The
candidates for president and vice
president have been decided upon and
according to the leaders there will
be no friction over tho party's decla-
ration of principles. Only the phrase
ology of few planks OF the plat
form are to be agreed upon
Those who looked for clear wealth
er for the convention were bit dis
appointed to learn that conditions
were uncertain. There was, however.
one thing virtually certain and that
was that It was warm enough to
make the closely packed crowd in the
Coliseum swelter.
Nearly everybody who went to the
convention from the eastern part Of
ST. Louis journeyed by way of Wash
Ington street. which for two hours
before the convention convened was
transferred into golden lane" on
either side of the broad avenue stood
woman suffragists arrayed in yellow
They stood and sat on stools few
feet apart and did not utter a word
