animated scene. A large number of
the candidates of the Republican
and Democratic parties were there
all the Democratic bosses were there
and the heutenants of the Republican
bosses were there. The delegates were
besieged, were run up against the
brick walls. were forced into doorways
into back rooms, the middle of the street
and when they could not get their ear any
other way the delegates were asked to take
something and run up against bar. The
merits of the candidates, both Democratic
and Republican, were extolled to the skies
and there was not one of them but what it
was said of him, He is Granger, he was
raised upon farm, etc. Billy Hamilton,
the ever urbane and polite Billy, whom
every Granger knows to love, was there
smiling, his broad sombrero was festooned
with hayseed, and he said to them, Gen
tlemen, you know am Granger can't
deny it. Why, my very shape gives me
dead away" He heard there were some
chestnut bells in the crowd, and forebore
relating any of his bear exploits in Ell Do
RADIO county.
The politicians all over town were polk
ing fun at the Convention, still at the same
time all the candidates were rustling for
Endorsement, as though they thought that
whoever secured place upon the Citizens
Independent ticket was to be the coming
man.
