PAGE TWO BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE STAGESET FOR | G.0.P. POW WOW | IN COLISEUM Seats Have Been Provided for More Than 13,000 Svectators and 9,400 Delegates Chicago, June 2.--The Chicago Coli- convention of 1920 will be he ginning June 8, has a history rich in tpolitical interest. ‘Five national poli- tical conventions have been held with- in its walls, a record unsurpasse:! iby any building in the United States Every four years since 190t the republican party has met in the Coli seum to nominate candidates fo" president and vi and ir 1912 the progre also me? there to nominate © Theodore Rooseve't for president. The Coliseum was compteted i 1900. It was designed as a mode! convention hall and erected on the site of the old Libby War Frison mu seum, at Wabash Avenue and teenth street, less than a mile from the hotel and retail shopping dis- trict. The castellated walls of the old war prison were used for the Wabas! avenue side of the structure. It was built of stone, brick, steel and glass and is 403 feet long, 170 feet wide It cost nearly $1,000,000. It has 2 wide balcony extending around three of the walls, and this has been ampli- fied for this year’s cohvention by the addition of a second balcony on the north: sid Seats 13,000 As a result the seating capacity 13,187, is the greatest in the build ing’s history. Only 12,400 were seat- ed at the 1916 convention. The majn floor of the Coliseum will seat 9,400 delegates, alternates, press representatives and spectators. There will be 100 doorkeepers, 200 usher and 2,000 sergeants-at-arms. All the ushers and doorkeepers will be over seas soldiers, sailors and marines working with military discipline un der the drection of former army of ficers. By this system the national committee hopes to avert the over crowding of four years ago when hun dreds of persons stormed the doors forced their way past the untrained doorkeepers and preempted seats fo: which they held no tickets The speakers’s platform at the south end of the building will pro- vide seats for the officers of the con- vention and members of the ‘republi. can national committee Behind thie is a raised platform with 2,000 seats for the use of presidential candidates and other distinguished guests. On either. side of the speakers platform extending across the ‘building -is a Press section containing 575 seats for working newspaper men. Facing the speaker are the seats for 984 delegates and an equal\num. ‘ber of alternates. This section is enclosed ‘by a. heavy.rail to hold-back the ctowds of frenzied spectators who frequently, during moments of intense enthusiasm, attempt to storm the speaker’s stand. ‘The rest of the main floor and ‘all the balconies will be given over to visitors, Tickets for spectators have been divided among the national commit- teemen from each state, proportion to the state representation in the con- vention, with the exception of a block of ‘about 2,500 seats, which go to the Chicago convention committee, which financed the convention arrange: ments: With less than 10,000 visitor's’ seats to be distributed. the commit- teemen have received’ more than 75,- 000 requests for tickets: weeks in ad- vanee: of the convention. The Chicago sonyention committee, of which Fred Upham, republi- can national restr is chairman, raised $150,000 to ‘bring the conven. tion to Chicago. The high cost of everything has hit the convention. Music, which cost $2,800 for the en- tire convention in 1916, costs $1,000 a day for a band of 50 pieces this year. Other: expenses are in propor: tion. The Republican National commit- tee moved its executive offices to the Coliseum several weeks in advance of the convention. Adjoining’ the main building fs an annex connected with the Coliseum proper ‘by several broad arches and entrances. Here are lo- cated the executive and administra: tive ‘offices, a, temporary hospital in charge of 100 Chicago Physicians, and, in the basement, a telegraph and tele. phone room where scores of special wires have ibeen installed for the use of the news gathering associa- tions and newspapers which will cov- er athe convention. fe annex also boasts a bran post office to facilitate speedy oot | lection and distribution of mail to the convention officials ‘and numer- ous committee rooms for the national committee and various committees of the convention. = Goodyear Service a Corwin Motor Co.
