Gratis Of the District of Columbia seek
ing election as delegates to the San
Francisco convention in the primaries
here next Friday. Six delegates and
six alternates are to be chosen. Among
the other aspirants are: Timothy T..
Ansberry, former representative from
Ohio; John E. Laskey. United States
district attorney, and John B. Colpoys.
a prominent labor leader, who was
delegate to the 1916 convention.
A contest for the position of demo-
cratic national committeeman is ex-
pected in the District between William
Nick Clayton and John F. Costello, fol-
lowing the action Of Mr.. Clayton yes
terday, when he filed his papers for can
didacy for that position.
Committeeman Since 1912.
Mr. Costello has been committeeman
from the District since 1912 Mr.. Clay
ton claims the backing of the Bryan
Democracy Club. the jackson Demo-
cratic Association and the Columbia
Democratic Club. He was secretary for
the democratic central committee from
the second primary district for twelve
years. was chairman of the city conven-
ton in 1896 and 1900. and was a delegate
to the democratic conventions of 1900,
lSO4, 1SUo anu 1S1G.
The contest, it was admitted, will
be based on the ground that the state
central committee did not designate
the polling places ten days in ad-
vance Of the primaries, to be held
Friday, as provided by the rules and
of the national COM
mittee.
Four candidates for delegates to
the national convention filed their
papers yesterday claiming the sup
port of the Bryan Democracy League,
which has the backing of the Anti
Saloon League. They are F. C. Rob-
erts. William " Mahoney, Deets
Pickett and Mrs. Cora L. Thomas.
Mr.. Roberts is president of the
Bryan Democracy Club. and is run
ming on a progressive platform as a
delegate. There is no truth in the
statement that the members of the
Bryan Club are running on an anti
administration ticket" said Mr.. Rob-
erts. "Al1 candidates should stand
on their own record and not try to
hide behind the White House."
During his remarks he paid trib-
ute to- Senator Hiram Johnson's
stand against machine and corrupt
political practices.
He has been invited to address sew
eral labor meetings throughout the
District during the coming week.

Signs of Animation.
The gathering audience began to
show the first signs of animation
when the band struck up 1.-The Stars
and Stripes Forever" Whistlers in
some parts OF the visitors galleries
accompanied the band. The first ap-
plause that swept the hall came at
the conclusion of this national selec-
ton
( From 1.-The Stars and Stripes" the
band swung into "Dardanella," and
there was a prompt response with a
shutting Of feet and a suggestion of
shimmy from some of the negro dele
gates from Tennessee.
The platform was slow in filing up.
Apparently the leaders were in con-
ference elsewhere to determine what
was to be done on the question of
permanent organization. The woman
delegates were eagerly sought by the
scouts of the campaign managers and
held a handshaking affair of their
own. They seemed to be enjoying their
first participation in a national con-
vention.
The band continued to blare Off pop
ular airs with regularity and the dele
gates and alternates continued to pour
in at all the doors. The galleries
were filled early with the fortunate
the disappointment of the unlucky
thousands who lost out on the tick ets.
The opening moments were spent in
informal conferences among the dole
gates on the floor and renewals Of old
acquaintances. Generally the eondi-
ton in the hall was remarkably quiet.
Nobody seemed to have any more def
finite idea of how things were going
to line up than they did last week.
Twenty minutes before the hour set
for the opening the crowd was still
streaming in. 1t was not till then

favorite sons. dark horses or indi-
vidual selections sharing more than
half of the total vote.
The roll call will give, however. the
first clear intimation as to what the
mass of the more than five hundred
fancyfree. uninstructed delegates
have been thinking as they milled
restlessly about the hotel lobbies hour
by hour. It will contain information
for which all parties to the great dis
pute have been waiting and let loose
new moves and .countermoves about
the men who cast the votes.
1t was this situation that gave dark
horse talk additional prominence in
the hotel Hobbies and with 1t came an
undercurrent from arriving delega-
tons of suggestion that after all 1t
might be wiser to put forward a can
didate whose name had not been In
volved in the Senate inquiry into pre-
convention expenditures and activities
of presidential aspirants.
Hughes Formidable, Says Berah.
Again the name of Charles Evans
Hughes required in these discussions,
and Gov. Coolidge of Massachusetts,
also was mentioned. Senator Borah
said Judge Hughes would be "formi-
dable" If the convention were COM
PEELED to seek q dark horse nominee.
There was more talk this morning
Of the possibility of short-cutting
convention preliminaries by making
the temporary organization, with
Senator Lodge as chairman, the per-
manent convention structure. This
would save many hours Of organiza-
ton work. it was argued, but no
definite step was taken. One effect

platform builders and with the close
interest of the recognized leaders in

CHICAGO, June S.-Unique in the
annals Of the party, the republican
national convention assembled today I'M
bossed. unbridled and no presidential
candidate having enough votes in sight
to assure his nomination.
1t promises to be a record-breaker
in all respects. 1t may cast more
ballots than any other republican
convention since Garfield was nomi
mated in 1880 before the party stand
ard bearer is named.
There Is still such complete alb
sence of bosses as to leave the con-
vention leaderless. Chieftains who
by are standing on the sidelines hav-
Ing chuckle. while the delegates go
through the experience of having a
peoples convention"
1t is true that several score of
delegates are instructed either by
their district conventions or by state
primaries. but nobody, including their
own state leaders, knows how long
they are going to stand hitched.
Air Clicked With Reports.
The air is choked with reports of
delegation conferences at which 1t
has been decided to stand by the IA
vorite son or instructions on enough
ballots to comply with state laws or
fulfill the good faith that goes with
a primary expression of preference.
For instance, one candidate issues a
statement and serves notice that he
wants no complimentary or favorite
son vote, but wants the real thing
with a will to win Almost at the
same moment his state delegation has
meeting and the delegates decide
among themselves to give him all the
first ballot and split up various ways
on the others.
The situation presents an oppor-
tunity for some shrewd leader to step
forward at the psychological moment
and invite a stampede.
Practical politicians agree that an
unled convention is an easy mark for
a runaway.
Convention Voting Records.
A glance at convention records
since Lincoln was nominated IN 1860
discloses the unusual prospects for
the present one. In those conventions
the balloting was as follows:
