WILSON SORE TO
BE NOMINATED
IT looks like n certainty that ihc
name of Woodrow Wilson will
be the only one seriously put
forth as a candidate for presi
dent when the Democrats meet in na
tional convention in St. Louis on
June 14.
Incorporated in the call for the con
vention issued by William F. Mc
Combs. chairman of the Democratic
national committee, is the plank in the
Democratic party’s platform which
was adopted at Baltimore providing
for an expression of preference for
presidential candidates and the selec
tion of all delegates and alternates at
primaries to be conducted by the party
in such states as do not provide for
these primaries by law.
Under this call there will be l.PSS
delegates in the convention. Mr. Mc
Combs is ex officio chairman of a com
mittee on arrangements which is com
posed of members of the national com
mittee.
There will be very few federal office
holders in the Democratic convention.
This departure from the established
practice of a president seeking a re
nomination is in accordance with the
wishes of Mr. Wilson himself.
In the coming convention there will
be not half a dozen men who hold fed
eral offices. One of the considerations
that actuated the president in declar
ing be would not seek a renomination
was his determination to keep mem
bers of his cabinet and men he had ap
pointed to office from active participa
tion in the nominating convention.
The New York organization wanted
to send as a delegate at large Secre
tary of the Treasury McAdoo. who is
also a son-in-law of the president. The
president discouraged this proposition
Speaker Clark has declined to be a
delegate at large from Missouri, as has
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery, who hails from the same
state. Other federal officeholders also
have declined the honor. The North
Carolina Democrats wanted to send
Secretary Daniels, but he has an
nounced he will not accept. Postmas
ter General Burleson was also slated
as a delegate from Texas, but he will
| not go.
In furtherance of the president's
wish, members of the Democratic na
tional committee have conferred with
the leaders of their states, with the re
sult that only men who do not hold
office under the administration will be
sent to St Louis. A number of sena
tors and representatives will, of course,
figure prominently In the proceedings
at St Louis, but they are not to be re
garded as members of the administra
tion, as senators are elected directly
by the people.
With the renomlnatlon of President
Wilson assured it Is agreed that the
convention will be of short duration.
It is unlikely that there will be con
tests of any kind. Hnrmony will be
the keynote of the convention.
Of the coming convention Mr. Mc
Combs has tljis to say:
“President Wilson will be renomlnab
ed without opposition. Not only was
there not the slightest suggestion of
opposition to him at the opening of
congress and at the recent meeting of
the committee, but the enthusiasm for
the president was very marked. IIis
renomination will come as the uuques
tloned expression of the entire party.
I don't think the convention will last
longer than three days.”
The Democratic national convention
will be held in the new Coliseum, a
building costing S.IOO.OOO and having
an actual seating capacity of 14.000
persons. The building is said to be
one of the best ventilated and lighted
convention halls iu America. Its
acoustic properties are especially good.
It is three stories in height, and tile
arena has 50,000 square feet of floor
space.
The Coliseum, which is less than a
mile from the business center of St.
Louis, should not be confused with the
old Exposition hall, in which other na
tional conventions in St. Loulr, have
been held. The Coliseum is of fire
proof construction. It has an arena, an
oval of boxes, an arena circle and a
balcony. The arena circle and the bal
cony are fitted with opera chairs, but
the arena has movable chairs.
In the Democratic national conven
tion 404 of the delegates will represent
the old convention method and 624 the
direct primary. The following table
