MD, Jane 19.?One , thousand and seventy-four delegates will assemble In the Fifth Regiment i Armory in this city neat Tuesday to i name a candidate to run as the Democratic party's choice for President of the United 8tates. / Those delegates represent the Democratic voters of the forty-eight 1 states, the district of Columbia, the IMatvlitf nf ilaaka anil <tia possessions of Hawaii, Porto Rico f and the Phlliiplnee. The number ! . of delegates exclusive of the territories and insular possessions is twice i | the number of United StateB senators and members of the house of repre. seatatlves. Each delogate to the national con[ vention represents a section of the country peopled by approximately 91, 972,264 people (according to the census *of 1910), of wbdm at least 27,000.000 are male adults of the voting age. The 1,074 delegates meet to select a man who will represent the Idea of the Democratic voters as to necessary qualifications for a President of the Y United States and to voice their ideas ' if# to general policies which should be followed by thd chief executive for the four years succeeding March 4, 1913. The delegates will voice these policies in a series of resolutions, which, taken together. Is popularly calfad a "platform." They are also to select a candidate for Vice PresiV dent to serve In case of the death or 'V inability of the President. Theoretically the choice of the nominees and the framing of the platform are matters which the delegates take np as quite fresh subjects, and upon which they have varying opinions, b^t practically, and as aj result of widespread discussion in the I dally press and elsewhere, there are always of late years some well settled Ideas 6n the subject of candidav tea and issues, and a certain unanimity on many matters from the outjet. In the present Instance, however, considerably more doubt surrounds the actions and decisions of the convention than has Men the case for many years. It is generally admitted that the cholep of candidates and the framing of the platform will depend In a great m ensure upon the i " results of the Republican national convention now la ssssln In Chicago. The Democratic convention nominate* * presidential candidate by a two-thirds vote, therefore the winner In the convention must secure 716 I votes. No candidate in the race has , ACCEPTS GALL TO THE payne memorial church Rev.

In the order of their strength, as Indicated by the number of delegates pledged to support them the leading candidates are Champ Clark, o? Missouri, Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama, and Judson Harmon, ol Ohio. The standing of these four candidates Indicates their relative strength on the' first ballot in the convention next week. Their actual . strength will not be known, however, until after the first ballot, when about ST-fl unlnatructed delegates nod a scattering vote of ninety delegates fot Governors Fobs of Massachusetts, Baldwin, of Connecticut. Marshall of Indiana and Burke, of North Dakota will be cast. Theee four favorite sons are expected to-tlrop out ol the contest after the first ballot, leav ins the fight to the remaining foui candidates. Speaker Clark. Governoi Wilson. Governor Harmon and Rep resentative Underwood. While th? second ballot will probably dtsclom the actual strength of these fohr can dldates, it will probably require i number of ballots before the leadlni candidate obtains the two-thirds vot necessary to nominate.
