Colonel Martin. who has been unani-

time he has TO rest content Just being

At other conventions the COMMITTEES
has provided the colonel with a little
platform al OF his own, with o little
gavel and block bearing his name. for
him to hammer on. Also a brief clothes
line .whereupon he might pull some OF
his laugh getters.
Just by way OF diversion betyeen
conventions, the colonel practices law
in st. Louis. but his real business in
life In being sergeant-at-arms for Demo-
cratic national gatherings.

In ample curves and fat wrinkles, the
colonel was wont to bang his gavei and
block to pulp. working so hard at the
Job that he had to mop himself up
with his collection OF collars and cufrs,
he would wiring out and hang on his
little clothes line to dry.
This time, though, the colonel has n
back seat on the platform among the
others OF the committee: and when he
feels the need OF a little gavel-banging

he has to bunt the chairman aside ana
