Washington Dec. 7. The Demo-
cratic national convention of 191 C
will Ibe held at St. Louis beginning
Wednesday June 14 at noon. The
Democratic national committee to-
night named the convention city and
adopted resolutions calling for the re-
nomlnatlon and re-election of Wood-
row Wilson as "the trusted leader of
national democracy. ;
Chicago and Dallas contested with
St. Louis for the honor of the con
vention but St. Louis easily led from
.the start and won on the second bal
lot. When the trend of the voting
was seen Texas moved that the choice
of St. Louis be made unanimous.
Dallas held second place on the first
ballot but was displaced by Chicago
on the second roll call.
Mrglnla Switches Vote.
The rminlt nr the first hsllot was:
Louis. : Dalian. 14: Chicago 13. On the
k ballot. Hie villi- was. SI. I mils
Chicago 19 and Dallas 8. The majority
Tor St. Louis was gained on Mils ballot
when John T. McOraw arose near the end
or the call and changed West v Irglnla I
vote from Chicago to the Missouri city
Then the choice was made unanimous.
It has been customary heretofore foi
notional convention- to begin work on
Tuesday. The fact that Tuesday fell on
the thirteenth next year may or may not
bavé had somt thing to do with the deter
inlnatlon of the committee to begin the
jirocccnings a aay laier. i ue in mini ex-
planation however was to the effect that
the convention would not. require more
than three or four days to complete Its
work and It would not be too late In the
week to start on Wednesday.
Political leaders In Washington tonight
legarded it as practically certain that Chi-
cago will be selected for the Hepubllran
convention when the national committee
or that party meets neat Tuesday. The
date for this convention probably will in-
late In June.
Each City Had SIM.OOO.
Each of the three cities contesting for
the Democratic convention put in a bin
or 1100000. St. Louis placed In the hands
of the chairman NeW York drafts ror that
smount. Dallas offered a certified check.
While . Chicago presented a pledge from
the association of commerce) to contribute
" $100000 on. call or the treasurer or the
Democratic committee.
The advocates of St. Louis supplemented
their financial Inducements by a warning
to the committee that the convention was
needed lu Missouri to keep the eighteen
electoral votes or that stale In the Demo-
cratic column. The delegation from Dal-
las pleaded with the committee to reward
the loyal Democracy or the south by
sending the convention next year to a
southern state. The Texas speakers were
areeted with enthusiastic cheers by the
members of their delegation and the rebel
yell several times Interrupted the pro-
ceedings. Chicago based Its appeal large-
ly on Its climate and Its known ability to
take care of convention crowds. The
opening of the session was given the at-
mosphere of a love feaat when' Thomas
J. Pence of North Carolina a protege or
Secretary of the Navy Daniels was select-
ed secretary and In a speech of accept-
ance declared reports or differences be-
tween hlmseir and National Chairman W-
1 . McCombs were entirely without foun-
dation. Mr. Pence regarded by many as
a represetantlve of Ibe administration said

The committee held a public session

women and the place waa packed to

Six suffrage leaders told the com
mltteemen that the women of the na
tlon were looking to the Democratic
party to chiimplon rt federal suffrage
amendment either In the prosent con-
gress or In the platform of the next
Democratic national convention. Two
leaders of the National Society Op
posed to Suffrage argued that the
party already had declared that suf
frage is wholly a state question and
that moreover a majority of Amer-
ican women did not want to be en
franchised.
The committee took no action but the
members appeared la enjoy the debate
thnroutrlily and applauded each speaker
liberally.

claims of the suffragists to go unrhai

Speaker Champ Clark was seated In the
front row or the committeemen when tne
first suffrage delegation went to the plat-
form. A committeeman proposed that he be
escorted to s place of honor on the platform.
