here today in the Coliseum, being call
led to order promptly at 12 o'clock, by (
■ C Uairman McCombs of the national ex

j vast audtorium was filled when the
.chairman's gavel fell, calling the dele
gates to order. There is no talk of
i other candidates than Wilson and Mar
shall. and it is the unanimous senti
ment that an overyhelming victory will
be scored by the democratic candidates !
at the polls in November.
To bring about such a victory as is
predicted, seems the sole aim of the j
thousands of delegates and spectators j
crowded into the Coliseum to day, and*

over these minor details.
Convention Secretary J. Bruce Kre- ,
