to Chicago October 10.
Democratic leaders suggested this
last night when it was learned that
the nominees speech would be
made two days later than originally
scheduled. The Coliseum. where the
governor was to have spoken, will
not be available October 10.
Soldiers field was proposed due to
a lack of auditoriums with large
capacity. Then it was remembered
that Gov. Smith would be reluctant
to speak out of doors so late In the
fall.
Were going to inquire into the
possibility OF putting up Il platform
enclosed in clear glass at Soldier
field" Martin j. O'Brien. demo-
cratic 'county club chairman. said
That would save the governor from
exposure and let the thousands see
him while he speaks.
His speech would have to be
carried by ampliflers even in a
large hall and we hope the glass
can be handled in such way that
it won't mar the effect. When we
learn what can lie done we'll have
