DEMOCRATS TO HOLD
CONVENTION IN DENVER
After deciding to hold the next dem-
ocratic nal ionnl convention at Deover
and fising the date of the meeting for
Tuty 7, 1I-0S, the democratic national
committee debated the propriety of ac
ctpting more of the $100,0110 ' offered
by Denver for tho convention than if
actually needed to pay the convention
expenses iu that city. Tho opposition
to the uc.ptnnee of the contribution
took the form of a resolution by Repre
sentative 'layton of Alabama, declin
ing money not actually needed for the
convention, but after n long debate the
resolution was laid on the table by n
vote of 31 to 14.
Ou the first ballot Denver received
'22 votes against 17 for Louisville, five
for Chicago mid one for St. Paul. Be
