SAN FRANCISCO
 GETTING READY

San fra aheisee, tune 4i.===ff yeh'fe going se fe enc Of the 4asee8 at the
 eehihg Democratic national eenven- tien in this town the week of June 2s, there are certain things you ought te know. Charles w. Fay, pestfaster ef San Francisco and general head of the local reception Committee, is try ing to make the little party worthy of the occasion of the Pacific coasts first national convention in history, and he wants the east to know just what the west is doing to make the visitors comfy.
 Bring your light wraps and ever coats," is his only request. Hell at tend to the rest. California summers about San Fra nefsee bay are not the sweltering. things they are in eastern cities. The bay breezes often make it very cool and the evenings far from balsny.
 Don't fear lthe preftteering lantf- lords, is his confident assurance, The Hotel Mems association is gosng to show the delegates what western hos
 pitality means, and they have agreed on a one price program. This means that a room. with bath can be had for
 from $5 60 Sl5 a day,
 The railroads have arranged for a one-and-a-thfrd fare from eastern points. For instance, the round trip from Chicago will be $s9. There will also be excursions from here to other California points so that delegates and their. families can .onfhine the occasion with a sightseeing tour, At three big hotels of San Francisco the activities of the week will center. The Palace will be the executive cen ter, and much of the lobbying will 90 on in the big corridor of this hostelry. The celebrities will stay, at the Fair mont and St. Francis.
 There will be over 20 governors and at least seven members of the PreSl- dents cabinet there. Bryan. who is sure to be the storm center of the week, will be at the St. Francis. So will Governor Edwards, the wet candidate of New Jersey, Governor Cox of Ohio, and Vice President Mar shall The s5s United States senators and 150 members of the lower House who are expected will be divided be tween these two hotels, while the state delegates will be scattered over the city in other hotels.
 There will be 1902 delegates, of
 which about fourth will be women.
 The largest delegation will of course be New Yorlx's of 9s delegates and
 a1ternates and over 200 members. Ne
 
 have but three apiece Porto Rico, Hawaii, District of Columbia, the Philippines and Alaska will each send three.
 Besides the delegates and their a1- ternates, there will be 510 members of the press. whose comforts will be cared for by Jim Preston, who pre- sides over the Congressional press gal lery at Washington.
 The big meeting place of the1con- vention is the Civic Auditorium which holds 1000 people. The Coliseum in Chicago and Madison Square Garden in New York are said to be the only two larger halls in America. Seats for $500 are being arranged on the ground floor and the rest will be seat ed in the galleries.
 The convention is likely to last the
 entire week. Unlike the Republicans the Bourbons require two-thirds to nominate, or FPS votes. The Repubii- cans need only majority out of their smaller representation of 493, or only 10S votes. It is doubtful whether the Democra will name their candidate before July 3.
