The date for this convention probably will be late in June. Each of the three cities contesting for the Democratic convention put in a bid of 1100.000. St. Iouls placed in the hands of the chairman New York drafts for that amount. Dallas offered a certified check, while Chicago presented a pledge from the Association of Commerce to contribute $100,000 on call of the treasurer of the Democratic committee. Missouri In Doubtful List. The advocates of St. Louis supplemented their financial inducements by a warning to the committee that the convention waa needed in Missouri to keep the eighteen electoral votes of that state In the Democratic column. The delegation from Dallas pleaded with the committee to reward the loyal Democracy of the south by sending the convention next year to a southern state. The Texas speakers were greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the members of thelr delegation and the "rebel yell" iseveral times interrupted the proceedings. Chicago based its apand its peal largely on Its climate known ability to take care of convention crowds. The opening of the session was given the atmosphere of a love feast when Thomas J.
