Democratic National Chairman
James A. FArley's announcement In
Miami today that the Democratic
National Convention would open in
Chicago on July Is brought the
comment from Republican National
Chairman John Hamilton at G. o. p.
headquarters here that:
II, looks like some Democrats
don't think President Roosevelt's
late convention idea was so hot
after ALL"
The date for the Democratic Ma
tional Convention set by Mr.. Farley
is three weeks later than the date
of the Democratic National Con-
vention in 1896.
The Republican National Commit
tee at its meeting here yesterday
selected June "a as the date for the
party's national convention and
Philadelphia as the convention city.
Last fall, President Roosevelt sug-
gested it would be q good idea to
hold the national conventions late
in the summer and have a shorter
campaign after the presidential and
vice presidential candidates had
been nominated.
It looks now, however, as though
the campaign will not be materially
shortened.
Republican Group Meets.
The Committee on Arrangements
for the Republican National Con-
vention. appointed yesterday by the
national committee, held its first
meeting today at Republican head
quarters, 718 jackson place NV.
This committee, which is charged
with making all arrangements for
the convention, appointed a number
Of subcommittee to handle the de-
tails. Later, the committee will
select q keynote speaker for the
national convention and will recon-
mend also permanent chairman
and other oficials Of the convention,
all Of whom must be elected by the
convention itself.
1t was said that probably no de-
cision regarding q keynote speaker
would be made for two or three
months. However, gossip has al
ready brought the names Of Gov.
