BALLOTING WILL BE BRIEF


 balloting will follow The delegates will be fresh and vigorous So they'll go about the job of naming their candidates with intelligence and energy. There'll be none of this eleventh hour business O. slamming a ticket together any old way. Barring prolonged deadlock the convention will be over and done with in eighteen hours from the time it met But as I said before that blessed day will be- fall about couple of centuries from now.
 Candor compels the admission that both at Chicago and at San Francisco the women speakers uniformly made the best speeches.
 They were the shortest therefore the best But in this circumstance I behold no hope of immediate reform in conven- tion methods. These women had been thrust into a new and unaccustomed set ting. they were nervous and shy. Doubt less when they have learned more of convention etiquette, more of convention bunk, and buncomhe. they'll be just as tiresomely longwinded and platitudinous as the men are Some times, I fear we spoiled 'em when we quit letting them be our superiors and made them our equals. EFN.J r.
 Fashions in conventions do not charee although fashions in delegates have changed. The old fashioned democrat WltH lue lOHS DdlI, tHc DTOdQ bTlUlrHeu hat, the tail coat the white lawn tie, and the effect of tatting tobacco and scrambled eggs on his shirt front is practically an extinct species. I have seen only one typical example of the vanishing breed here where a decade might have seen fifty. and he looked as lonely as the great auk. He has been succeeded by the person who wears the sort of garments you see in the cloth ing advertisements in the magazines
 The ways of peace are winning us over too. I'll bet there were fewer pistols brought to San Francisco by democrats than there were private cars brought to Chicago by republicans.
 As I draw toward a conclusion, it ap- pears to be about over all except the stouting. These democrats certainly have done their share of shouting. The re- pubicans, who. looking potentially like winners, showed little enthusiasm ex- cept the manufactured, custom-made kind. The democrats looking potentially like losers. have splattered enthusiasm all over the shop.

But until that fair, far-distant morning shall dawn, a woodtick, endowed with thought and contemplating the system which, hai- lowed by tradition, is currently employed for selecting the administrative heads of this republic will have reason to give thanks that God saw fit to call him to the simple estate of woodtick instead of making him human being

tials permanent organization and resolu- tions having already been completed, the convention will meet the ap- pointed date. The temporary chairman will take the gaveL His keynote speech will last for not longer than seven min utes.N If he cannot tell everything he knows in seven minutes-and in long experience with national conventions. l never yet saw one who couldnt-he may ask unanimous leave that his unspoken remarks be spread upon the minutes. If he speaks longer than seven minutes, he'll be spread upon the minutes him- self.
 Nominating speeches will be limited to two minutes. Any nominator speaking for more than two minutes will be shot at sunrise the following morning. Dem- onstrations will continue for just so long a time as on their own spontaneous methods they can continue. Any base ball fan will tell you that when Babe Ruth knocks home-run the cheering terminates when the home run does; both of them begin together and conclude to- gether, which is it should be.
 Any seasoned actor will tell you that an honest outburst of Applause from an laughter rarely endures for more than half minute. It's very sincerity is at- tested by it's brevity
 But since politicians, like tumble bugs, go backwards and never see anything until after they have passed it by it will take them at least two hundred years more to discover that the only effect of one of these planned. rehearsed and stage-managed demonstrations for this candidate or that. is to produce an eff feet of intense weariness upon everybody except the deluded individuals responsi- ble for and concerned in it.

MAKES SOME SUGGESTIONS

It might be done this way; the con- vention city, having been decided on, the various states, when naming their delegates. will also name their mem bers of the important committees. Two weeks ahead of the convention proper tnes- committees will meet with the national committee in the convention city, and there will frame the platform and pass On the contests, if any. By that time two hundred years hence-it will have begun to dawn upon the politicians of America that the platform, in the esti- nation of the average voter. means less than the paper upon which it is written. He votes for men and for tentative hopes and prospects, not for a ream or so of fancy language

A woman's fondest hope is to stay
young. shc often resorts to paints,
powders and cosmetics to hide her
years. Some women pay large sums to
so-called "Beauty Doctors" in the be-
lief that money will buy youth. Others
wear girlish dresses, thinking they can
fool the world about their age. But
no one is deceived. The more you try
to hide your age, the more it shows.
There is but one thing that holds old
age back, and that is health. Sickness
and weakness bring old age early in
life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is q building-up medicine for
women. It makes them healthy and
strong when they suffer from women g
