By that hour the big conven­ tion hall will be filled to 4ts capacity and every one of the 8.270 seats will contain an occupant, for there is a clamor for seats.

Stone of Maryland, sergeant at arms of the convention, who has spent weeks with a corpis of assistants making ready for the big event. That there will be no com­ plaint as to the arrangements with the exception of the seating capacity of the convention hall is granted. WTiile the hall will not accommodate as many as the Philadelphia conven­ tion hall four years ago. those who have been fortunate enough to get tick ets will be able to hear every woed uttered by speakers. The first day will be given over force until a permanent organization is effected. A resolution will be adopted order­ ing that the roll of states and terri­ tories be called and the chairman of each delegation instructed to an­ nounce the names of the persons selected to serve on the several com­ mittees, including permanent organi­ zation. rules and order of business, credentials and resolutions.

The concluding session will be given over to the nomination of the national ticket. The first order will be the nomination of a candidate for president. On the roll call of states it is expected that Alabama will yield to New York for the pur­ pose of bringing the name of Presi­ dent Roosevelt before the convention at once. The nominating and second­ ing speeches will consume consider­ able time, after which the roll will be called. The next order of business will be the nomination of a candidate for vice president. Upon a call of the roll the candidates will be placed in nomination and the usual seconding speeches heard. This being conclud ed, the reading clerk will call the roll on the nomination of a vice presiden­ tial candidate.

Newbury Linn, the "great ad­ venturer," carries the idea of com­ bination to its logical conclusion and forms the colossal Trust of Trusts-- besides ^hich the Standard Oil or Steel combinations are merely begin­ nings. The love of this strong man for the woman who is unjustly bound to one of his business associates is drawn with powerful strokes, yet with real sentiment and romantic feeling. The surprising culmination of the overshadowing and menacing organization which his genius has built up is one of the most ingenious, yet simple and inevitable, portions of the tale. Slaves In China.
