At tho St. Louis convention this

tors in tho great auditorium Itself, to

tion proceedings. Of course, nearly
or quite all of this vast mass of matter
will bo composed of tho news reports
of tho groat press associations, and tho
dispatches of the special correspond
ents of tho groat dally nowspapers of
tho country.
Compare the abovo with tho tiows
transportation facilities of the Nation

every word of the report of that con
vention; all the news printed by all

in methods of handling and transmit

years show in the lino of progress iu
