Arizona republican., 1916-06-25

come down town and go without sup | per so as the paper would have some thing to run about the convention when | it went to press even if my stuff is worthless and hasn't no bearing on the subject.
 But being brought up to obey those in authority am doing like was told with smile and trying not to be mad to be called away in the pinch.
 I got in the convention just when Mir. Harding was calling out the rolls of the states for nominations. The first state was Alabama and they says they didn't have no candidate and from what I seen of Alabama I believe them. Then come Alaska and they says they didn't have none either because all the gold diggers was down town.
 l Wright Gets in Wrong So then come Arizona and the chair man got up and says he didn't have no candidate and you'd yield Arizonas place to New York, N. Y., but one of ! the degredation protested and says that f one of the delegates that answered to | his name wasn't there but had left for Arizona last night and he must of been sucker. Well anyway the dele gates name who had been called out and who got up and says ''P' was' Wright and when MT. Harding ast him if he had left for Arizona last night, he says he had.
 Well, then" says Mir. Harding, you ain't right, are you?'
 "No," says the wrong MT Wright, MT. Wright has went home"
 Well, we'll" says Mr. Harding, "and who give you the Wright to speak for right"
 Well, we'll" says the wrong MT. Wright. MT. Wright give me his badge before he started home"
 The general opinion amongst the convention was that this here subst- ute had win the badge from MT. Wright in a rummy game, but anyway it didn't seem to make no difference and New York got the floor.
 Doc Speaks Out of His Turn
 Doc Nicholas Murray Butler of the Butler Brothers then got up, but MT. Harding says. Gov. Whitman has the floor" so Gov. Whitman got up and the Doc set down. The Gov. kept his candidates name a secret till the fin lSH anu NODOCy hIOWtu 1of IoHS while if he was boosting Gyp the Blood or John McGraw. but finally he come right out and says he was talk ing about Charley Hughes and then come the first demonstration. It lasted twenty-one minutes by an Ingersoll and was fully as enthusiastic as a Phila- delphia American league baseball crowd.
 Then Doc Butler give US the name of Eli Root and a girl named Myrtle ir Section 53 of the gallery led the root ing. She was a strong argument vs equal suffering. The demonstrating fol Eli would of lasted two or three min utes only for this girl and she kep' it going ten minutes longer because everybody loves a good soprano.
 Fragrant Flowers of Eloquence
 The next speaker was Gov Wili. from Ohio and it developed that he wa! plugging for Burton, but not the Bur ton that writes our automobile junk MT. Gov. Willis speech was a grand | speech, only after he promised us h, J was going to close up, he forgot tn
 name of the guy he was up there t'
 nominate and had to keep stallin. = along a couple of extra hours till tn
 prompter put him wise. Gov. Willis 4 talk was masterpiece and none of u
 had heard nothing like it since we lief U high school. Probably you can ge copies of it from the Associated Press n The only thing I can recall from mem H ory is 'I am not here to pluck tn T fragrant flowers of eloquence." May $ be you can imagine the rest of it fror 2 that The beauty of the Cows piec ; was that he kept us mystified. H X mentioned Mckinley and Garfield an : Lincoln and Blaine so many time 2 that we thought sure he was going t
 nominate one of them four H
 sprung Burton as a big surprise a
 soon as he remember his name. I'll
 demonstration was something grand. k Oratory Burns Up Ozone
 Oh, yes, another thing he says wa
 that the republican nominee anon F. other things must have a heart an everybody in the press stand was E K impressed that they repeated the worC after him-"Have a heart"
