Perhaps this statement will cause
surprise. Objection may be made to
the effect that seventy delegates are a
small number compared TO assembled
legislatures. Quite so. but the analogy
is only apparent
Undoubtedly. legislative bodies COM
posed of several hundred deputies some

Diplomacy works differently. II must
settle fundamental interests OF vital
passions either on the spur of the mo-
ment, upon unanimous spontaneity.
which Is rare. or by compromise,
II is necessary to recall the precedent
OF the Hague conference where SO many
fine speeches were heard and so little
was done. There is another difference.
Diplomats are not parliamentarians.
II has been possible to medernize
their methods and democratize their Sc
lection. but traditions remain.

teachers, educators and other citizens
was held at the Court House Saturday

ing the candidacy of Prof. W. P. King
Of Newport, for the Democratic nomi-
nation for State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction.
The meeting was presided over by
, Mr.. A. G. Sulser, chairman Of the Ma
son County Democratic committee
who made a short talk in regard to
the race of the Mason county man
Strong resolutions endorsing Mr.. King
who is native of Mason county and
who lived and taught school here fol-
many years, were presented and unan-
imously adopted.
Although he was in the city Prof
King, was not in attendance at the
meeting but during the day he called
on and met many of his old friends
who assured him that Mason county
would do her full part by one of her
own sons.
Prof. King says that things look
very encouraging all over the state

U. S. Employment Service, Louisville,
KY, informing them of the appoint

He further states that the Superin-

1t is expected that Mr.. George

This is a most commendable move
on the part Of the Federal Director of

gives them a central location for the
