Democratic Hosts will Assemble in Missouri Metropolis July 14. Two Contests Settled. Washington, Dec. 7.?The Democratic national convention of 1916 wTill be held at St. Louis beginning Wednesday, July 14, at noon. The Democratic national committee tonight chose the convention city and adopted resolutions calling for the renominatiOD and re-election of Woodroow Wilson as "the trusted leader of national Dem. ocracy." Chicago and Dallas contested with St. Louis for the honor of tne convention, but St. Louis easily led from *he start and won on the second ballot" When the trend of the voting was seen, Texas moved that the choice of St. Louis be made unanimous. Dallas held second place on the first ballot but was displaced by Chicago on the second roll call. The result of the first ballot was: St. Louis, 25; Dallas, 14; Chicago. 13. On the second ballot the vote was St. - - - - rv-n A m'U ~ .Louis, 2S; \.mcago, id; uanas, v. my majority for St. Louis was gained on this ballot, when John T. McGraw arose near the end of the call and changed West Virginia's vote from Chicago to the .'Missouri city. Then the choice was made unanimous. It has been customary heretofore for national conventions to begin work on 'Tuesday. The fact that Tuesday fell on the 13th next year may or may not have had crvm-.trnne' tr> rirv with the determina tion of the committee to begin the proceedings a day later. The official explanation, however, was to the effect that the convention would not require more than three or four days to complete its work and it would not be too late in the week to start on Wednesday. Political leaders in Washington tonight regarded it as practically certain that Chicago would be selected for the Republican convention when the national committee of that party meets here next Tuesday. The date for this convention probably will be late in June. Each of the t^ee cities contesting for the DemooMitic convention put in a bid ofS^^BpO.

The adivoj cates of St. Louis supplemented their j 1 financial inducements by a warning to f the committee that the convention was j needed in Missouri to keep the 18 elec- ! toral votes of that state in the Demo-; j catic column.

The Texas speakers were greeted with enthusi-! astic cheers by the members of their /delegation and the "rebel yell" several times interrupted the proceedings. Chicago based its appeal largely on its climate and its known ability to j take care of convention crowds. iTlie national committee was in ses- j . sion almost continuously from 11:30 .a. m. until late tonight, completing: details of convention arrangements, j i discussing financial ways and means 1 (for coming campaigns and debating j ('various subjects of party interest.

The com mittee applauded all the speakers, but there was 110 egort to place the members on record. The resolution indorsing the Wilson j administration and the Democratic members of the house and senate who have helped to carry forward his pol-! icies was adopted by a standing vote t follows: "We congratulate the country on the spienaia aamimsLrauou or woouruv* Wilson.

He has' upheld the j best traditions in his high office and j has discharged his trust with such efficiency that he has won the confidence and affection of the American people, regardless of political affiliations. His masterly handling of both national and international questions demands his renomination and re-election as the trusted leader of the national Democracy in 1916.

Yellowstone and ' i Yosemite are the only two names > ! which the enormous majority of east- , | erners think of when national parks , 1 are mentioned. Nevertheless Sequoia i ; is perhaps, in point of average beauty, , ; the superior of all. It was clear to the , i heart of John Muir. father of national; i parks, and Chief Geographer It.

The Mariposa grove.' j within easy reach of tbe Yoseinite val-; | ley, contains several enormous sequoia > | trees. In fact, the Yosemite National ; pariv contains inree groves or tuese giants, tiie two others being the Mercea J and Tuolumne groves, which lie witbj In easy reach to the northwest. The Sequoia National park, however, which lies many miles south of Yose! mite, was created to preserve, for the , 1 use and pleasure of the people of the | United States, by far the greatest groves of the oldest, the biggest and the most remarkable trees living in1 J this world. They number 1,100,000. ' Of these 12.000 exceed ten feet in di-' ameter. The General Sherman tree, i i mnot irn toil nf nil OTOO fAnf high, with a diameter of 3(5.5 feet. The : Abraham Lincoln tree is 270 feet high, i with a diameter of 31 feet. The Wil- / liam McKinley tree is 291 feet high. ' j with a diameter of 28 feet. } The General Grant National park is ! usually mentioned with Sequoia be- . cause, though separated by six miles of mountain and forest, the two are practically the same national park. It , contains only 2.53(> acres and was created only for the protection of the Gen- ' eral Grant tree, a monster sequoia 2G4 on/1 ffcwit in i \ irci. ui(^u aixu iuu u ? v. ?**aV , ter. But General Grant shares his domain with distinguished neighbors. r notably the George Washington tree, which is only nine feet less in height and six feet less in diameter. | The sequoias are the oldest living*' ! things in this world. "They are the 1 ! connecting link." writes Ellsworth / Huntington, "between the ancient east ! and ttie modern wesr. | "Three thousand fenceposts. suffi- i cient to support a wire fence around 8,000 or 0.000 acres, have been made i from one of these giants, and th:it was 1 j only the first step toward using its i 1 huge carcass.

The upper third of the , trunk and all the branches lie on the ground where they fell, not visibly rotting. for the wood is wonderfully en-1J during, but simply waiting till some j foolish camper shall light a devastating fire. j "Huge as the sequoias are, their sizeis scarcely so wonderful as their age.

"How old the oldest trees may be is not yet certain, but I have counted the rings of seventy-nine that were over 2,000 years of age, of three that were over 3,000 and of one that was 3,150." The sequoias are found scattered all over the park, which has an area of 161,597 acres, but the greater trees are gathered in thirteen groups or many acres each, where they grow close together. The general country is one of the most beautiful in America, abounding In splendid streams, noble valleys, striking ridges and towering mountains. Some of the best trout fishing in the world is found here. The park Is the home of the celebrated golden trout, which is found nowhere else in such perfection of color.

Just to the north lies the wonderful valley of the Kings river, with its spectacular canyon and picturesque mountains, while directly on the east, over the great western divide, is a region noted for its beauty.
