National Democratic Convention Opens in Kansas City
Alfred R. Rowley notes the 1900 Democratic National Convention marks the first time a major party gathers west of the Mississippi. Kansas City vies to host in a grand hall, funded by a citizen-led drive after a devastating fire, with expectations of a crowd perhaps 100,000 strong and a historic westward shift in party activity.
