WWT IDS PAT LEASE WOP " mi St. Louis. Dec. 10. Senator Boise Penrose and other influential repub lican leaders are being counted on to swing the 1920 republican national convention to St. Louis when the na tional committee selects the conven tion city at the meeting in Washington. St Louis Is sending a delegation of twenty five leading republicans to the meeting to back up the support of party leaders. The first representative convention in years will result from chosing St. Louis; delegates from St Louis w:il insist They plan to offer the national committee convention expenses and convention tickets. Previous conven tion cities have handed out tickets as they saw fit resulting, St Louis del egates Insist, on exclusion of those from other cities. "We will offer the national com mittee all expenses', such as the con vention hall, decorations and . other things," said John Schmoll, republi can city committeeman. We will of fer them all tickets free. The expense of the convention probably will be about $35,000. "In addition hotels have agreed to charge regular rates. This is a close state and bringing the convention here will do considerable good to the republican cause."
