The first pub- lic meeting in this building was in the presidential campaign of 1908 when William H. Taft, republican nominee, spoke there. At that time the Colise- um was not completed. Fifteen thou- sand persons crowded into the struc- ture for this opening. The Coliseum was built in 1907- 1908a t g cost of $336,000. As arranged for the democratic national conven- tion it will seat approximately 10,000 persons. This seating capacity is ob- tained as follows: On the platform are 512 scats. the section for daily newspaper corre- In spondents and press associations are 472 seats. Sections set apart for the editors of democratic weekly papers in Missouri and Illinois will accommodate 238 more persons. Seats will be provided for 1,078 del- egates and the same number of al- ternates, though there may be some slight change in these figures in case some states send extra delegates with a fractional vote. In the boxes are seating accommo- dations for 546, in the arena balcony 2,494 and in the balcony 3,400. This makes a total of 9,818. Extra seats placed wherever possible throughout the building bring the to- tal seating capacity to about 10,000. The building is so designed that there is room on the arena floor only for the delegates, alternates and the dally and weekly newspaper men. The Coliseum is an octagon, consid- erably narrowed at one end by a diag- onal side wall. The greatest length of the building is from north to south, and its narrowest dimension from east to west has been railed off for the platform and press sections. The plat- form is forty feet wide, and immedi- ately back of the speakers’ stand and the tables for tellers and clerks a platform extending rises to the rear of the upper bacony. This extension contains seats for 512 persons. These seats were distributed by the national committee, and the members of the committee and thelr immediate parties are to occupy most of them. Around the arena floor on three sides are the boxes, which are re- served for specfally invited guests— party leaders of prominence, diplo- mats, ete. That part of the public which is not fortunate enough to have platform or box seats is to be accommodated in the arena balcony, which rises im- mediately from the boxes, and in the balcony, which corresponds to the second gallery in most public halls. The total number of seats available for the public therefore is 5,894 and the distribution of part of these is al- loted to the St. Louis committee which raised the $100,000 convention fund. On the west side of the Coliseum, back of the speakers’ platform are the work rooms for the press associa- tions and the telegraph companies. As this space, as originally ' planned, proved too narrow to accommodate the press associations, an eight foot passageway through this section was abandoned, and by order of the mayor an alley in the rear of the Coliseum was vacated and covered with an awning. This serves as a pas- sageway. A passageway under the platform leads from the press sections on the arena floor to the work and telegraph rooms in the rear. On the north side of the building— the Washington avenue side—is a large emergency hospital, on the south side are the rooms of the dem- ocratic national committee, and on the east—or Jefferson avenue—side is the room of the sergeant-at-arms, and the convention postoffice. The decorations of the were designed by Edward C of St .Lou In order to obtain as much daylight as possible, the walls of the Coliseum have been painted white. To get the full benefit of this reflection it was necessary to exclude decorations from the walls. The dec- orations, accordingly have been placed around the front of the balcony and boxes and on the supporting columns that run around the building. Plaster relief medallions of Wash- ington, Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland and Wilson, each four by three feet, are placed on the supporting columns clear around the building, and each medallion is surrounded by American flags. The columns are covered with bunting, and the boxes are hung with the national colors. To improve the light reflection, six thousand yards of white muslin cover the ceiling, except for a strip down the center which is hung in the national colors. Alto- gether 30,000 yards of bunting were used in the decoration of the conven- tion hall and 600 to 700 American flags. The platform, of course, is draped with bunting and flags. The Western Unjon Telegraph com- pany has a cable of 100 wires into the Coliseum, and the Postal Telegraph company has more than fifty. These wires do not include the leased wires of the press assoclations but are for private and newspaper telegrams. Two hundred to three hundred po- licemen will be assigned to the Colis- eum during convention sessions to preserve order and block activities by pickpockets.
