Chicago Convention.

That it's purely one-man affair
was proved each day the convention
did business. Every question that
develops differences of opinion is put
un to the colonel. He dictates the
color Of the delegates skins; If he
wished, he could dictate the cut of
their hair. He Informs his followers
hluntly that they must make their
platform conform to his speech or
get some other candidate, which is
equivalent to sentence of death in
sase they disobey. If the colonel
lad Insisted that the platform in
dorse the hobble skirt, the hobble
skirt would have been Endorsed. This
IS neither exaggeration nor a joke.
It's the plain truth.
