There isn't anything cheap or half way
about this Watson party. He hired two
man band paraded the streets and sere
naded the delegates. Then the Herington
! forms n'every ything-did the same. The
IIerington band is going to the national
convention in June-a whole car load of
female tuba, slide trombone, piccolo and
cornet artists.
1t is all grand and glorious meeting of
the grand old boys-not overlooking a
whole lot of girls, most of whom are not
in che grand old" class. Memories of the
happy days of convention organization
were revived Tuesday night when the
Lamer hotel lobby and candidate head
quarters were found to be far too small for
the crowd. And there was no lack of dem
onstrations of practical politics and or
ganization by the men and women who
didn't leave the political school until they
had finished postgraduate course.
The women were right in the game all
for all the candidates. The candidates
made speeches and the women delegates
cooly and deliberately adjourned and per
mitted the candidates to wait until this
afterr oon for the jury's verdict.
The Third district wrecking crew was
decidedly in evidence. Apparently all of
the fellows who made politics in the Third
fine art. came to Salina. Look 'em over
