SAN FRANClSCO, June .3.-Con-
vention seats are selling at 800 n
piece. In front OF the st. Francis
loud.voiced youth was bawling: Buy
your convention ticHets here. Tickets
are being sold sofhrough other and
people are going to meet at least part
of their travelling expenses to San
Francisco through their ability to OBJ
tain tickets.
"Do you know OF anybody looking
for admission to the hall?" inquired
acquaintance.
Father has several
Let me introduce Lieutenant Bra
nard." replied the friend. "He was
Just asking where / thought he might
>get a ticket"
The lieutenant looked hopeful. but
the young fellow drew his acquaint-
encc to one side. "I know what a
lieutenants salary is," he said. "He
father is holding his tickets at $3.50
now
Political conventions make strange
bed fellows. In the group of college
students" who will serve as ushers at
the convention is at least one man
who finished his, college days many
years ago. But he gets In to see the
show and maybe will do some usher
ing. Alongside messengers who will
be saved from willing their collars by
their leg work only by the fact that
they wear no collars, are men whose
only leg work will be to get inside
the auditorium on the credentials as
messenger which they have OBJ
tanned. Another device which is said
to have enabled some stout-lunged
gentlemen to get good seats is the
happy thought of one of the candi-
dates headquarters to scatter men
throughout the hall on tickets which
are to be paid for by loud and spon-
taneous cheering when the signal is
given that the psychological moment
has arrived.
"Who Is the best man to carry your
Slater" is a question heard on every
side in the hotel Hobbies and conven-
ton hall. f. II. Bailey, delegate from
Barre, VT, is assuring everybody that
nobody who may be nominated by the
Democratic convention can carry his
Safe. Vermont and Utah were the
only two States to go Republican in
1912.
The members of the Florida dele
cation. who are stopping at the SUIT
ter Hotel have got into a heated and
prolonged argument with the ma
tive Californians in their vicinity
about the respective merits of the
Florida and California climateg
Congressman Frank Clark, speak
ing for the Florida men, maintains
that his State has everything in the
way of climate that California has and
then some. Pushed to the wall, how
ever, he was forced to admit that the
nights are much cooler in the SUNNI
mer time here than at Palm Beach.
Now that the Democratic National
Concention has come as far as the
Pacific coast and everybody like it,
John II. Wilson, national committee
man from Hawaii. thinks the next
step will be Honolulu. "If get some
of the delegates to visit the islands
after this convention is over" he said
today, 81 am sure they will become
boosters for Honolulu for the 1924
convention. California may have
fine climate and all that, but you
ought to see our place"
w. d. Claypool, who comes from
ella. Ariz., is being kept busy ex.
planning to other delegates that his

la is one of the most enterprising
little towns in the state and there Is
absolutely nothing monarous about

The chambermaid in charge of the
rooms of the New York sun and Her
aid Bureau left the following this
morning:
when you are a maid working at the
st Francis
And you want to get out early on
Sunday
And everything seems to run all right
But one man won't get up
And you knock again
And again
And he says, "Not yet, maid, not yet"
And finally you are giving up hope OF
getting through
And you go again
And you go again
And knock gently
when 10 and behold
A voice says inside
you don't have to bother with the
room today
81 have some writing to do"
Oh boys, amt II n grand and glorious
