OF course you know Pick Smith

morning paper was delivered at Stor-
mont most everyone who happened to
be up at that time was thrown into
a turmoil. On the front page. in col

the Democratic convention now in ses-
sion in San Francisco:
PICK SMITH FOR SECOND PLACE
The folk; in the building gathered
around the door of Picks room and
soon the congratulating started. Just
to think that Pick had been nominated
for vice PRESIDENT 1t seemed utterly
impossible. but the paper said so. right
in big headlines on the very first page.
Pick was somewhat embarrassed
over the honor bestowed upon him by
the Democrats And after a long,
lingering speech he stated (for publi-
cation) that he declined the honor
with the utmost thanks. Then started
the long line of phone calls from
Picks friends over town. They all saw
it and they all called up. 1t was a
wonderful morning for Pick Smith,
the Democratic nominee for viz e
president land declir ed lat least so
the paper said.
Now Pick is trying to figure out
what he would do il he were the vice
president and how 1t was that the
Democrats picked on Pick.

filed for action by the state conven-
ton of the legion, to be held in Pitts
burg in August on a proposed amend
nlent to the state Iegion's constitution,
providing for the transfer of the state
headquarters to Wichita The Wich-

state headquarters on the assertion
that s'the Wichita post-the Thomas
Hopkins posts looked upon as the
central legion of the state. and that
the Wichita Chamber of Commerce
has promised to provide free office
room. printing and other advantages
tia
The answer of local legion men to
these arguments are: That Topeka,
