He Ii material. this favorite son

And that is why he is a favorite

the long pole that knocks the per-
sinmon.
Nothing 10 easier than for a pcliti-
clan that knows his job to get pawns
OF this kind to deal with. There Is
nearly always somebody In his state
that has both money and an over
weening vanity-and that is all that
q required. GRANDPA was q candi-

II he only gets eight votes that Is
enough!
When IT comes TO the showdown

pianist. All Is done behind closed
and watched doors, and there is no
danger the hoi polloi will hear any
thing, so what's the odds? Let's
talk right out.

In this way an understanding Is
reached, agreeable 10 all, and the
favorite SON disappears in the shuf-

Then the delegates get the
straight tip. the right man Is noni-
mated amid indescribable enthu'
siasm, and five million citizens are
delighted with the result OF the con-
vention's deliberations.
This isn't cynical. though to the
uninitiated II may sound so. II Is

There is, indeed. even something
