NIGHT SESSION HELD.
Practical Continuance Of eryar
Demonstration Ensues.

Hall, July 8.-AC the
night session the galleries were vel,
filled long before the first Of the dele
gates and a%lternates began to make
their appearance. A great crowd OF
%sightseers was gathered outside the
auditorium. In the hall the cowboys
band fatigued by its strenuous after.
Moons work, entertained the Assem-.
bling delegates and spectators with
a long programme OF popular selec.
tions.
Beautiful Sight.
Under the glow OF thousands OF
electric lights the convention hall
showed to the best advantage.
With the vast audience in its place
the night session was a brilliant
scene.
The always diligent band in the
gallery was in evidence early in the
evening and worked away for the
pleasure of the galleries, which were
almost filled by 8 o'clock. Apparently
1t was the opinion Of many Of the
visitors that the night session was
to reveal a reproduction Of the spec
tacular scenes enacted during the
day.
At 8:15 p. m. there till were many
empty seats in the delegates section,
but the galleries held practically their
full capacity. Crowds OF ticket hold
ers continue to storm the various
doors and a record-breaking attend
ance was, In sight. Women seemed to
predominate in the throngs. Most OF
them we're gowned as for the theatre
or opera. The band worked overtime
to keep the crowds amused and fairly
early applause was literally bestowed.
Chairman Absent.
At $3.50 the report of the committee
on credentials was brought to the hall,
but Chairman Bell had wandered OF
and could not be located and the dele
gates and spectators put in another

messengers were securing the hall to.
bring the chairman to his desk, and
his duty.
Colonel Guffey, about whom the
storm Of the night was expected to
center, appeared on the floor shortly
after 5 o'clock and Immediately was
surrounded by a number OF his lieu
tenants and sympathizers, who we're
prepared to take up the battle in bis
behalf. Colonel Guffey seemed pale,
but determined, with clenched fists
and furrowed brows, he talked with
great emphasis Of expression to those
about him, one of whom was Pete
o'Boyle, his chief aid in the Pennsyl.
vania delegation. Mr.. o'Boyles was
to speak in defense Of the
colonel in case Of attack from any
quarter. !
Called To Order.
When Chairman Bell had been
brought back, after bringing down his
gavel In q rapid tattoo, he gave vent
once more to his sterotyped cry:
1.-THE convention will come to orders
gentlemen will take their SEATS"
The convention, however. did not
come to order nor did the gentlemen
take their seats", for the reason that

During all the time the delegates
were finding their seats hesbandSkept
up 9 constant stream Of music. A
wide varietys'of selection were ofered
and whenever the leader had a doubt
he turned on q new supply Of Dixie
and always got a responding shout.

southern songs.

carried out under the direction Of the

It was just 1926 when Chairman
Bell began to rap for order and to
direct that the congested aisles be
cleared.

constantly swinging up and down the
aisles. Kentucky and Pennsylvania
however, had returned to their seats
and the demonstration seemed for the
first time to be dying down. The band
again woke the echoes with "a hot
time" and the cheers again flooded
the building.
The sergeants-at-arms carried away
by the frenzy social session, left their
positions and Joined in the yelling.
Men, however, cannot yell forever,
and the signs Of a let up were unmis-
taxable in their manner II was only
waning strength, however, that put
any check on the enthusiasm.
Cheers Are Plentiful.
The crowd finally gathered In

legate Of another state that his eyes
could light upon.

separated in the surging throng and
its members INDUCED their individual
taste in RECALLING those shout then.

break away from the aisles and make

MAKE YOURSELF

PRESENTABLE.
You may not be a beauty. 1t is not
given to every woman to be beautiful.
1t is not given to every man to be
handsome, but we c3n all make our
selves presentable. We can all groom
ourselves so as not to be physically
obnoxious to fastidious people. This
matter is exceedingly important to
colored people as we'll as white. Men
cannot secure and keep the best posi-
tions in banks, clubs aud business
houses unless presentable and physi-
cally acceptable. Girls cannot keep
the best positions in commercial and
domestic life nor win the best hus-
bands, nor get along as we'll in the
world in any manner unless they
make a presentable appearance. All
, this is just as important for colored
women as for white women.
Before Complexion Wonder was
discovered, every ambitious white
woman in the United States used
some kind of powder or cold cream.
Now they are learning to use Won
der This is the first discovery ever
made which works for colored skin
better than white skin. Now the peO-
pie who use Wonder are mostly
white women. 1t is high time color
ed women and colored men were
learning to use it. You must also
have your hair dressed attractively.
If it is too short. use Wonder Hair
Grow, which is a fertilizer for the
scalp just as fertilizers in the corn
field make the corn stalks grow, so
Wonder Grow helps the scalp to feed
the hair so it will grow longer. II
your hair is too kinky, use Wonder
,UncurP and the Wonder Comb. The
Comb costs but fifty cents, and will
! last a life time.

Payments will be arranged to cor

careful planning will keep you from

to save. When the bill is PAID you
