The Pittsburgh Post:
Washington should prove very
satisfactory and convenient city in
which to hold the Democratic national
convention
r. NJ. Hederman, Jackson, Miss:
National Capital is ideal place in
which 10 hold Democratic convention.
Would eliminate any jealousies from
other sections desiring convention and
prevent some other faVorite SON re-
peating the Al Smith propaganda of
last convention, which cost the party
so dearly. Agree with Senator Glass
that Washington should be selected. -

Herbert Bayard Swope. executive
editor of the New York World:

The Birmingham News. Birming-
ham, Ala, thinks that discussion of q
convention city is premature. 1t says:
Respecting Senator Glass sugges-
ton, the Birmingham News is under
the impression that the next Demo-
cratic National Convention, like the
next Republican convention, is to be
held in the Summer of 1928, rather
than as Senator Glass apparently inn
agines, in the Summer of 1927. At the
proper time, Washington might prop
erly be considered as the meeting
place for both big pow vows. Why not?
In the meantime. why may not Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike let the
public attend to it's knitting, unmo-
Tested by talk about where either

and its own skin more than one year

/ VIII r. King and Irene Il. Stuart, in
q. joint telegram. say.
The undersigned inclined to favor
Chicago. Detroit or San Francisco fol
the next Democratic national conVen
ton. But no place unless it can seat
from 10000 TO 10000 persons, Want
80 tents. Mr.. King has been in the
auditorium in Washington and remem
bers it has but 5000 capacity. He
agrees with Senator Glass that il
auditorium Of sufficient capacity car
be provided the national capital is
the logical place for all nationl con
yeutions. But with the knowledge W.
have. we are inclined TO favor Chicago
Detroit or san Francisco. But we viii
leave the question open for further
consideration. We believe in abolish
ing both the two-thirds and unit rule
and favor the nomination Of some one
J who can ana win win"
