of being in when the time of compro-
mise should come. The vote of the
leaders on this ballot was: McAdoo
800 IL, Cox 443 1-2, Palmer 1872. After
the sixteenth ballot recess was taken
in the hopes that some compromise
might be effected that would permit
of a nomination before midnight, but
it was without result. The leaders
were willing to pick a dark horse, and
the attempt was made to put over
Ambassador Davis, but the delegates
refused to follow the leaders, and
continued to vote almost to man as
they had before the adjournment, and
they continued to do so until midnight
forced an adjournment to Monday.
1t was the caucuses of Sunday and
Sunday night that made the final
nomination possible.
The space allotted to this story is
not sufficient to warrant even an eff
fort Mt painting word picture of the
Democratic convention of 1920. 1t
was convention that will be reme,,f.
bered as one of the most fiercely
fought political battles, one OF the
most picturesque political gatherings
In the nations history. There were
hundreds Of exciting incidents that
appealed strongly to the great audi
ence OF every session, and in these in
cidents, and also in the important af.
fairs of the convention, women played
prominent and conspicuous part. The
party doubled the membership of its
national committee, giving to women
an equal representation in each state.
ana women were named on all of the
important convention committees

Burglary IL. Mot. Profitable.

When one reads In the. paper an ac-
count of burglary where the thief
succeeded IN securing $1,000 to $4,000
worth Of jeweiry, one Is apt to think
that the spoils were probably worth the
risk. but investigation has shown that
thieves never realize anything like the
full value Of their plumber. In Eng
land 1t was discovered that out of 1858
burglaries reported in various parts
Of the kingdom the proceeds netted the
principals an average of about SIS
each. The value of the plumber was
many times that figure. In addition
to this. each one of the number had
been sent to Jail for his crime.

Balloting Begins.
All realized that the first ballot,
taken on Friday night, would merely
show a general lineup of the forces,
and that no decisive result was pos
sible until such time as the contest
could be narrowed down to the real
leaders. The McAdoo, Cox and Pal
mer forces were all claiming GER
tain victory, while the adherents of
such candidates as Senator Owen, Am
bassador Davis, Vice-President Mar
shall and National Chairman Cum
mings, were certain that no one Of
the three leaders could be successful,
and that their candidate would be
their choice on a compromise.
BY the time the fourteenth ballot
was taken on Saturday the contest
had narrowed down to the three lead
ers with the exception of the Okla
homa, the West Virginia, the Virginia.

a thousand lips the cry arose. For
as the elephants tore at the cen

helplessness high up on the bar
of her trapeze, must die a very
dread full death.
A figure III a scarlet coat, speed

to the ground with single blow.
He seized the great barbei hook
from the trainers hand as he iay'
