While the Republicans- have confined their conventions a’most entirely to the middle West, the Democrats have done considerable wandering in the past. In comparatively recent years they have been as far south as Baltimore and as far west as San Francisco. Should St. Louis be named as the convention city this year, abundant precedent may be found for the choice. Since 187(5 St. Louis has had the honor of entertaining more Democratic national conventions than any other city. Four times within that period have the presidential tickets of the party been named in the Mound City. Chicago, with three of the Demo cratic national conventions to its credit, is next in the list. In the early years Baltimore was the favorite convention city of the Democrats. Going back more than seventy-five years, the meeting places of the Democrats were as follows, with their presidential nominee: 1844—Baltimore; Polk nominated on ninth ballot. 1848—Baltimore; Gass nominated on fourth ballot. 1852—Baltimore; Pierce nominated on ninth ballot. 1856—Cincinnati: Bticbanan nomi nated on seventeenth ballot. 1860 —Charleston. S. C.; Douglas led on fifty-seventh ballot, when convention adjourned to reconvene at Baltimore, where Douglas was nominated on second ballot. 1864 —Chicago: McClellan nominated pn first ballot". 18(58 —New York ; Seymour nominat ed by acclamation on twenty-Second bn "lot. 1872—Baltimore; Greeley nominated on first ballot. 1876 —St. Louis; Tilden nominated on second ballot. 1880 —Cincinnati; Hancock nominat ed by acclamation after second ballot. j 1884 —Chicago ; Cleveland nominated I on second ballot. 1888 —St. Louis; Cleveland nominat ed by acclamation without ballot. 1892—Chicago ; Cleveland nominated on first ballot. 1896—Chicago; Bryan nominated after fifth ballot. * 1900—Kansas City : Bryan nominat- ! ed by acclamation. | 1904 —St. Louis; Parker nominated | after first ballot. 1908—Denver ; Bryan nominated on ] first ballot. 1912—Baltimore ; Wilson* nominated on forty-sixth ballot., 1916—St. Louis; Wilson nominated on first ballot. 1920 —San Francisco; Cox on forty fourth ballot. 1924 ? ? ?

I.—Persons on the Washington street*? today, bundl* ing up their wraps in one of the cold est snaps of the winter, noticed a man in ordinary business suit walking along briskly without an overcoat. His indif ference to the cold made him a rather curious figure, and the curiosity was in creased when passers-by, agf* 7 ladling nearer, saw it was the PreswOT. Mr. Coolidge missed his early morn ing walk today, but made up this after noon with a jaunt around Lafayette j Square and the elMtise back of the White i House.

Who Pays For Advertising? * Not the manufacturer, for he thereby procures more business, the profits from which more than offset the ad vertising cost. Not the retailer, for advertised brands sell easiest, turn quickest and therefore yield the greatest on the amount invested per year. Not the person who buys the advertised article, for the cost of production has been brought down by increased business and the cost of selling has been reduced because advertising has already practically completed the sale. Advertising is an investment which produces returns and therefore pays for itself. EDITORS MEET AT PINEHURST North Carolina Preag Association Opens Its Mid-Winter Session. Pinehurst, N.

I am introducing a bill to relieve them of their temptations in our prohibition land.” If he were President, Mr. Upshaw said, he would “declare without delay the White House shall be dry, the President shall be dry, his appointees shall be dry, and I here and now call for the resigna tion of every executive appointee, includ ing army, ,navy and cabinet officers, who tkinji v tW liquor. tb« t has outlaw ed-by the constitution of ottr xotmtry.” THE COTTON MARKET Renewal of Liquidation.—Decline of From 5 to 56 Points. 1 New York, Jan. 3.—There was a re newal of liquidation in the cotton market at the opening today owing to the con -tinued weakness of Liverpool and reports j that yesterday’s break in raw cotton had cheeked the demand for cotton goods.
