Sir: Referring to the visit of Mr. Charles, J. Columbus and yourself in the matter of the, construction of a proposed auditorium for the purpose of housing conventions and meetings of local and outside organizations, the Commissioners beg to advise you that they have given this matter careful consideration, and in their opinion there Is a great need for an auditorium of this character. The present facilities in the cjty of Washington for handling large gatherings of people are inadequate, and recent developments concerning the use of municipal buildings for similar purpose have clearly, indicated that there is a demand for a structufe such as that which you and other interested citizens of the District of Columbia intend to erect. The location of the building selected by you seems to be well chosen. and the Commissioners feel that your efforts in thi; atter should receive the active support of the citizens Washington. While there are buildings of a memori of the Commissione erected by you and thos other projects néw being advanced to provide character which have reeived the support ihey feel that the auditorium proposed to be ‘associated with you is especfally designed to meet a need which other buildings now in contemplation are not Very respectfully ' THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE -DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. - By CUNO H.

Mr. Simms’ Hat in Ring. But at the last minute, after Mr. Ralston had announced his cand cy and Mr. Taggart and others had held a meeting in Indianapol which virtually indorsed Mr. Ral- ston’s candidacy, word came frc tenth district that Dan W. would be a candidate. Mr. candidacy was _entire and Mr. Taggart, himself,.when as called on the telephone French Lick and told about it, ® surprised. But Mr. Simms is in th race and apparently is going through with it, and he is no mean adversary. Mr. Ralston is in somewhat the sam position that Senator Harry S, New in the republican party — he will have the support of the democratic tate organization, or what is left of t, which, comparatively speaking, i not a great deal. Mr. Ralston, of urse, will have the assistance of Mr. Taggart, and Mr. Taggart is an able palitician. One of the most interesting phases Simm unexpected he at is the position that may or may not be taken by former Vice Prelident Marshall. Mr. Marshall was Go nor of Indiana during the four years pre- ceding the administration of Mr. Ral- ) ston, Taggart's_protege, and during all his term Marshall was never known as a Taggart man. In the present situation the que: tion is, What will Mr. Marshall do about the senatorship contest? Will he keep hands off or will he give aid | and comfort to Simms? Mr. Marshall | has a large following in Indiana, and while he is not at all in the class with | Taggart as a master politician his in- | fluence is important. Mr. Marshall “Talked Of.” Mr. Marshall was himself widely | ked of for the senatorship candi- | c. His friends said, however, that | did not desire to make the t he would prefer to end his polit cal career with another term as Go ernor of Indiana.
