Chicago Wsest Place in World;
There Everybody KnoqUs IT All
Most of the Delegates Knew Just What Is Going tc

By JAMES HAY, JR.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Chicago is the
wisest place on the earth. In the Hobbies
OF her hotels there are thousands OF
men Who know 1t ail-old men. young
men. serious men. fippant men. and ev-
cry one u them wise as philosophy 1T
self
Nearly 1000 delegates and several
thousand others who are here for the
fun of the thing are loaded with a
complete comprehension Of what will
be done In the convention tomorrow and
following days. They knew it weeks
ago. Some of them knew II months ago.
Wisdom is as plentiful as fresh air
more plentiful In the hotel Hobbies.
1t is an awful thing TO be a delegate
TO a national convention. Unless a man
is a wise man. he has no right to be =
delegate. The man who is not wise Is
nj for nothing except TO vote and 20
come across with the campaign money.
Any one who goes TO the Auditorium.
the Annex, the Strat3ord, the Victoria
or any other big hotel here. knows the
truth of this.
How They Do II.
Persons who are not in this city DO
not know how the wisdom is being

They Talk Always.
The newcomer moves on. he meets
another group. All business In the no

men always talk. and all the delegates
are wise. The next group says IL knew
long ago who would be Vice President
The newcomer knew that also. In fact
he knew that three weeks ago. he en-
counters the third group. BY this time
he is near enough to the PomEeiRn
