And then Emmy made a speech. Il
was pretty punk as talk. but as al
unndulterated, triple-plated exhibition
of nerve 1t was sublime,
Emmy don't alone take the bun
she has the whole bakeshop done to q
frazzle.
I've heard some people intimate
that they don't care much for Emmy
but they didn't know what they were
talking about. Why we wouldn't be
without her for money marbles OF

Drab-headed Charles J. Hughes
tuned up his clarion voice and whoop-
ed her up in style that threatened
to tickle the clacque to death He
was. as usual. atrooiously dressed. and
he worked like coal HEAVIER. but he
had the satisfaction of perspiring in
good cause and of knowing that he
had succeeded in awakening the
crowd.
Whispering John" Shafroth then
ambled forward and told us about the
crime of SO, AS up to that time we
had never heard of it--at least not
more than four hundred billion times
we all sat spellbound--or maybe it
was hide-bound, until he finished.
Then distinguished gentleman in
a misfit suit and pair of muddy
cowhide boots came forward and was
introduced as Congressman John c..
Bell.
He had the general appearance of
having just left his load of potatoes
at the door, and talked with the mad
rush with which Mexican transacts
business-pausing for siestas and Gig
arettes and siestas between each word
He had evidently heard it said that
one bunch of whiskers did not make
an orator-so he wore two, one on
each jaw-his voice needed manicur-
ing and his think-tank reloading-
otherwise he was a fascinating gem
tleman and a most interesting talker
When he got through he said: 81

Then he crept back to his corner
while 4 wicked man nearby murmur-

A very solemn. correct and altogeth-
'r dlgnifed figure was Judge Gabbert,
who occupied seat on the platform
md never so much winked an eye,
~ alone vawned He couldn't have
been more attentive If he'd been sit
ting in his own court. Which only
shows-by the way-what arch hypo-
critics some people can be. or, rather
what perfectly charming manners
some juuges possess-because, after
all. it's about the same thing.
Judge Stmson, Democratic nominee
for governor, closed the show. Talk
You should hear Stimson. He is a
loo-loo.
He is not very big, but he is broad
of girth and heavy about the waist
line. Has head that is smaller
through the brow than it is through
the jaws. a pair of light blue eyes n
trifle too close ogether and misfit
nose. His blue sack suit needed
pressing and his shoes wouldn't have
been injured by a bit of polish.
He came out to the front of the plat
form, stuck one hand in his coat
pocket, elevated the other to 45-
degree angle. pulled the lever and
struck a gesture at the first jump.
After that it was all day with him
he was like an alarm clock-he had
to run down. He had no time to
wait for applause or to daily with
effects-what he had to do was to
falkland he dd-nobody ever talked
harder or faster. He pumped his
right arm up and down-side-stepp
along the front of the platform. lifted
his red and perspring face to the soil
ed white ceiling and yowled-it was
great.
He quoted somebody who had call
ed the Democratic convention "a con
glomeration of confused freaks" and
defied him to prove his allegations
| Then he followed Congressman Bell
and announced to the unterrified audi
ence that "he was coming back when
| he had more time" And sat down
while the clacque, led by owen" and
helped along by Edwards and Genera
Browning and Overmeyer and few
dozen more bright lights, rendered the
| proper ovation.
And we all filed out into the might
and came through little park where
the leaves made shadow pictures OF

of Italy sat on corner and sang
