COULDN'T ENTER THE CLUB.
How a POpuIist Delegation Looking for
Beer Got Fooled.

Beer Got FOO1oo
About fifteen of the third partyites
who arrived in town yesterday from
their mortgage burdened farms conclud-
ed that this was a right good time to
flush their cutters of any superhuous
grain chaff that might have lodged
therein. Accordingly they found
bootbiack who put them onto the loca-
ton of the Capital Club" and they made
the tedious ascent up two flights of stairs
and rang the bell.
After deathlike period of anxiety a
waiter appeared and opened the door.
"What do you fellows wantf" lie de-
manded.
"Beer," breathed the delegation as one
man. in tones not unlike the soulful trill
of TIE corn shelter.
"Are you members of this club?"
asked the white-aproned aUtocrat with
a snap that made one man bite his
tongue.
NO." they faltered as they hung to
each others coat backs, procession
that looked like the tail of the Demo
cratic eagle trailing down the stairway.
"Then you don't get in here" and the
door closed with click that seemed to
their thirsty minds the slamming of the
gates of para disc.

The suffragists are more than happy
over the result of this mornings session
of the convention.
Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, who is to go be-
fore the committee on resolutions and
lead the fight for the insertion of a suf-
frage plank in the platform, said after
the noon adjournment: "The sentiment
of the convention is with us, and the Sc
lection of Ben s. Henderson as chair
man was a big victory for our cause.
The selection of the committees from
the congressional districts is not just
what we wanted with Henderson as
chairman, but it is as broad as it is long,
and we can well afford to take our
chances with the convention"
When Mrs. Diggs goes before the COM
mittee on resolutions she will take with
her an enormous petition containing the
names of over nine thousand men and
women from twenty-seven counties ask
ing for suffrage plank in the platform.
The petition reads as follows: "To
