About half that number wrote in the name of Senator T. J. Walsh of Mon- tana. The Republicans wrote in Gov. Joseph M.

Yet the plank follows the general lines of those drafted by the liberal members of the Tariff Commis- | sion. On transportation nothing definite is outlined.

By the Associated Press, NEW YORK. June 14—Delegates and visitors to the national Demo- cratic convention will not have to| sleep six in a bed, nor will they have to repose in relays, or bunk on park benches or in hotel hallways an alternative to walking the side walks of New York the long nights through. Stanley J. Quinn, directing vice chairman of the local non-partisan national convention committee, as- serts that comfortable accommoda- tions for 200,000 persons have been assured for the convention period. Quarters for delegates and alter- nates, by state and territorial delega- tions, were leased first of all in the largest and best hotels that are readily accessible to Madison Square Garden. Assigned to Hotels. ‘Then the 600 hotels comprising the Hotel Association took inventory and announced that, during June they would keep available for convention visitors 40000 rooms, or 50 per cent of their aggregate accommodations. Karly applicants for reservations have been assigned to these hotels. Next on Mr. Quinn's list of avail- able accommodations come the resi- dential and semi-residential hotels which, during the convention period, will be ready to give first-class fa- cilities to 25,000 visitors. The local committec also has listed from 50,000 to 0,000 furnished rooms, all well located, to which out-of-towners | will be assigned. Houses Kept Open. In addition to all these, Mr. Quinna announced that scores of wealthy New Yorkers who will migrate to country homes or summer resorts be- fore June 20 had volunteered to keep their town houses open for the ac- commodation of convention visitors. And rounding out the list are from 15,000 to 35,000 furnished apartments of three or more rooms that will be available for the out-of-towners in case of emergency. As for rate: the convention com- mittee was assured by the Hotel As sociation before it was attempted to bring the convention here that there would be no gouging. All the prin- cipal hotels have placed in the com- mittee’s hands charts of the rooms they will have available, together with the rates. According to Mr. Quinn, these are considerably lower than the prices regularly charged during the winter months, and are as low as the summer rates sched- ule usually made effective in New York between May 15 and Septem- ber 15.

The election of Coolidge and Dawes may insure an honest administration of public affairs. bBut all the futile plug hat platforms in the world will not change the character of the western Republicans, nor affect their belief in what they feel is their best interests in legislation. They may care to elect a con- gressional delegation of Republicans just as free as the West and as rad- | may care to be at | ical as the West the moment. As a matter of fact the West is not particularly radical just now. But it cherishes its right to be radical and still be Republican. And that is why it can casily accept Cool- idge and Dawes and return Brook- hart, Borah, Capper, La Follette and the members of the farm bloc, no matter how the national platform rails at these things (Copyright, 1824, by the Bell Syndieate.

Dr. Alfred Holt to of Baltimore has been appointed temporary chairman | and Dr. A. N.

Permanent headquarters will be| opened in Baltimore at once and weekly conferences held.

Dr. Holt said he believed Senator La Follette undoubtedly will be nom- | inated for President at the confer- ence for progressive political action which will meet July 4 in Cleveland, and that progressives of both parties would line up behind his banner. A number of progressive organizations in the state, inciuding the Labor | Political League, had already sign fied their intention of becoming afili- ated with the La Follette league, and he felt that but little effort would be required to obtain the necessary 10,000 signatures to have the Wi inson Senator's name placed on the | Maryland ballot.

It is also customary | to give prominent positions to the largest delegations, such as New York, with ninety members: Pennsyl- vania, with seventy-six; Ilinois, with fifty-cight; Ohio, with forty-eight, and { Texas, with forty. None Want Back Seat. Fourteen states now have candi- dates in the race or almost in, and, according to Mr. Dockweiler, there will be at least eight dark horse en- tries when the nominating begins. Thus twenty of the forty-eight state delegations will be entitled to up- front places. Add to these the big state delegations that customarily get places easily distinguishable to the convention chairman, and it ap- pears that few of the units are go- ing to be satisfied with rear seats. Mr. Dockweiler, reported as Me- Adoo's slated floor manager, today characterized as “silly and ridicu- lous” a statement in a letter the Anti-Saloon League of New York sent delegates vesterday that “the Smith - Tammany - Underwood - Wall Street crowd" would control the as- signment of places to delegations. o candidate and no faction will dictate the seating.” said Mr. Dock- weiler. “The subcommittee of the Democratic national committee, whose members favor various candidates, will make the assignments in the usual manner, according to the jus- tice of the claims of the delegations.” CROWD SEES McADOO OFF.
