The Washington times., 1920-06-12

Having his State poileo, member Tor
member, wants To- make a speech,
but that is too much 10 ask, since
no change in Ohio. =.
Since women may read this, II
should be mentioned that Edna Fer
Der has come today without her
mother, wearing a black dress with
beads in the back as decoration
that looks like a green and yellow
butterfly, but il is not. IL Is an en-
broidered bead daisy, with green
bead leaves. Mosquito netting
sleeves down TO the wrists.
Far more important to women Is
this.
Going into politics makes women
look young.
Yesterday your correspondent, care
ful observer, wrote and published
| that the young lady from Massa-
chusetts seconding Coolidge was
twenty-five years old. But she's
married and just past thirty. Never
theless, she looks twenty-five years
and as fresh as Rosy Dawn standing
tip-toe on the mountain top.
Go into politics and make speeches,
ladies, II you want TO look and stay
young. Girls like trees die at the
top. Don't let the top die. Keep II
alive, by making II think. But think
what time even the smartest women
waste on dress.
Nellie Bly, has worn five differ
ent dresses, one for each day Of the
convention: Bright green, dark red,
plain black, and modest gray.
/ Miou Earkar met prntiH has
worn FIVE: Blue with red spots,
black with bead daisy, nopdescript
sort of brown, and satin tete de
negre.
William Jennings Bryan, on the
other end, has worn the same cos
tune every day-black alpaca that
he bought for mourning when Par
ker was nominated.
Dress Thoughts Are Wasted.
Women must realize that all
thought wasted on dress is lost to
the race. A plain dress of gray
wooden cloth or blue calico plain
skirt and waist with a few pleats
up and down or running around
would be enough. Remember also
that theea able young women had
to think up i've different dresses for
dinner.
A reporter says, watson of In
diana has just whispered TO dele.
gate, at is going to be Harding,
and that is not unlikely.
The first ballot ends with yelling
and screaming. Lowden has passed
Wood. Last night Wood led. Now
it is Lowden, 303; a gain Of IA. Wood,
| 299, a loss of 13 Y. Johnson 1873 h I,
a loss Of 6h. The balloting starts
again. If they think it safe. the big
gentleman that sits in the shadow
and gets action will nominate Low
den. II not, very likely Harding will
get II.
Lair of Booze and Boodle."
If you are interested in the ma
chinery, noble and untainted, that
chooses your Presidential candidate,
you may like to know that at this
moment a conspicuous New York
lobbyist, we'll paid by one of the big
candidates, is going about on the
floor among delegates.
This gentleman makes no secret
of his occupation and its profitable
nature. His room in the Congress
Hotel is pleasantly described as "the
lair of booze and DOODLE"
Anything to persuade delegates.
Does such a man buy votes outright?
Probably not. That was the old
fashioned way. There are indirect
modern ways just as good. What
would Bryan, blissfully basking in
absolute prohibition and Supreme
Court decision, say if he knew how
whiskey is flowing in this great
city. ,
Here comes big break, predicted
this morning by one of the New
York delegates driving to the con-
vention. michigan won't stand for
Johnson" he said, and Michigan has
not stood. The delegates apparently
are more interested in what they
may get from Washington than in
Michigan voters.
| Lowden Gains One.
On the second ballot, now pro-
gressing, Lowden gains one, Wood
gains eleven votes, and johnson
loses twelve. Michigan presumably
is not prejudiced against Ivory soap.
Wood gains four in Ohio, Harding
loses four. Now comes the result of
the sixth ballot, including the four
taken yesterday.
