Press Assoclation. 2s Will Meet to Choose Candidates For President and Vice President—It Will Be the Largest Con- vention Ever Assembled—How the Big Event Will Be Han- 1 Photo of Roosevelt @ by American By JAMES ARTHUR. HE Republican national conven tion of 1912 meets on June 18, the one hundredth anniversary of the begiuning of the war of 1812. If this is an omen of anything it Is that there will be war in that gathering, a thing so probable that it needs no omen, One of the battles of 100 years ago was at Fort Dearborn, standing Chicago now stands, thus lending local emphasis to the fore boding If further proof needed that there Is to be a fight it Is furnish ed by the fact that Willlam Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt are the leading candidates. Robert M. La Fol lette and Albert Baird Cummins are also candidates and are also something In the fighting line. The convention hall is Chicago's fa mous coliseum that has seen so many conventions in the past It Is the suc- cessor to the coliseum built for the Democratic ntion of 1806, when Willlam Jennings Bryan won the nom nation by speech The writer was present on that ocea sion and still remembers the tingle of that oratorical triumph For the coming convention the coliseum being remodeled and furnished. This was all worked out on paper long before the convention, and a8 soon building turned over to the national committee a force of carpenters began to rush the work Railings were to be put in place. seats arranged and all the thousand and one detalls to be looked after throughout the vast hall where is MOnNVe his “cross of gold™ new is re as the was Thousand and One Details, Another problem has been the decora tions. This contract was given sep arately. The state guldons, festooning of the national colors, display of flags and of portraits all had to be planned earefully and executed quickly The printing and giving out of tick ets were also a man's job. There are many varieties of these admission eards. as delegates, alternates, national committee, stage, press and visitors in all the various sections of the building must have tickets for each session and each day and for numbered seats. The tickets are under the absolute control of the national committees. Because of the press of visitors the giving out of these pastebonrds has to be earefully | guarded The more than 11.000 These represent of the detalls have bad to Not only does In the conntry we sentatives, but associntions have a large and there In a small army of telegraph operators stenographer and helpers There Is alvo an army of doorkeepers hall seats something only the beginning for the important nd one or the be made press paper more repre every [reas number of men messengers ushers and sergeants-at-arms ns many kinds of these as of tickets Musie must be provided. although this Is comparatively simple, since only ons official band Is stationed in the vention hall, The numerous bands in the streets and hotels come voluntarily or are supplied by various candidates deletions nnd marching clubs The foregoing covers but a small part of the machinery of the convention There are many other detalls, such ax dortors and nurses, for possible contin gencies Among these contingencies in not incinded n free fight, or at least so Jot ux hope Fighting there will be but not of the physieal variety. Yet there are many accidents that conld happen tn A convention hall, sneh an the breaking down of pidtforms or con | seats, Elaborate preparations | other | Badges | must be supplied, and there are almost | a eo s and the like. Dele gates and visitors are Hable to be over- come by the heat. All of these contin- gencles must be provided for. Various concessions, including those for lemon- ade, fans. flags, canes, buttons, etc. | are to be given out. Noise produceers are also in demand, although there are always plenty of these in human form The national committee makes up the temporary roll. This means that ft must bear all contests, of which there is an unusually large number this sear. Of course the committee's decision Is not final since the conven tion on the credentials of its own members. Yet, in fact, the com mittee's decision will be final in most | cases, for the reason that those on the | temporary roll will have power to vote | as to determining all contests in the | convention except those in which the delegates voting are personally con- cerned. Thus the national committee's action on these contests may determine the actual complexion of the conven tion, especially If it is close Largest Convention Ever Assembled, he number of delegates in the Re publican national convention Is 1076 There has been some confusion on this point owing to the fact that New Mex fico claimed 8 delegates, whereas the call apportions her only 6 If she Is allowed 8 the total will be swelled to 1.078 in the territories or de pendencies, excepting Hawall, the number is 2 Hawall is allowed 6 New York heads the list with 90.

The delegates nlone would make up an ordinary sized military regiment. There are as many more al ternates, several hundred newspaper men, several hundred more distinguish ed citizens, convention officials and Mr. Common People, with his nomer | ous family Most Americans are now familiar | with the scene presented by the aver | age national convention either through | having attended at least one such gath ering In person or through pletures and descriptions In the press. In their main features these conventions are all alike. There are variations, of course, due to particular causes, but the scane presented to the eye, the course of procedure, the speeches, the balloting, the cheering, the decorations and the other accessories that go to make up these popular party assem blages make one national convention as like another as two peas in a pod.
