A CONVENTION JOKE

James II. Hawley is a Democrat
and has been one Of the pillars Of
his party since away back in the
territorial days. For fifty years he
has missed but two state conven-
tons of his party. He has nominat-
ed more Democratic candidates than
any other man in the state. He is
known as "Idaho's grand old man."
excepting among the Utah-Idaho sug-
ar crowd, and because he is the pres
ident of an independent sugar COM
pany they qualify by saying, "But he
is not so good a man as he used to
be-
Jess Hawley is the son of James
H. Hawley, and he is a Republican.
Jess is law partner of his dad, but
they differ in political views. Last
Wednesday James H. Hawley was in
the Democratic convention at Idaho
Falls making a speech to nominate
John F. Nugent for United States
senator. At the same time Jess
Hawley stood before the Republican
convention at Pocatello making a
nomination speech for Colonel l.. V.
Patch for United States senator.
Here are some of the statements
made by Jess:
II esteem it to be a great honor
to be permitted to have the floor to
nominate man for United States
senator in this my first Republican
state convention. My father has
been Democrat all his life and is
still Democrat. But things are
changing, and at the last roll call
of the Hawley family there were five
to four Democrats, so
the improvement is apparent. The
majority, while slight, is a majority.
My father is attending the Demo-
cratic convention today, and was
slated to nominate Senator Nugent,
and for anything I know he may be
doing it now land he wasl. If I
have seemed personal in my intro
ductory remarks | hope you will
pardon it on the ground that in these
stirring times when a family is d.
vided against itself five to four in
favor of good government it is an
tenn worthy of note"

expressions in analyzing the new
problem of booze shortage at the cru
'ial moment when a man was expect
ing to do 1t some more, and they de-
cided to get him on the phone and
ask him where was the rest of it,
and what kind of dod-gasted treat
was he setting up anyhow that only
whetted their appetite and then dis
appointed it. So one Of them broke
the bottle across the radiator while
another one got the operator to re-
spond in the phone and he got in a
hurry to deliver the message and
told it to the operator, who merely
laid, Number Please He felt en-
couraged and replied, -Four quarts
of Scotch whiskey."

A NEW BOOZE STORY

| Over in Spokane the other dav
Ted Chaplin was in a hotel and ha(
a bottle of very fine old Scotch
whiskey. He was also in possession
OF a room, and an invitation to din
ner He dared not use more than 6
little of the Scotch and then go t.
dinner, and he dared not leave the
whiskey in his room while he was
gone, so he slipped it into his hiI
pocket and went down the hal
wondering. He met ST Dinnelly anG

thing of the kind. To be plain, 81
! likes whiskey and he likes his friends
for he is a newspaper man-retired
When his business got so it did not
pay any longer he simply made two
figures on the front door of his Of
flee, locked the door from the out
side and went away. The figures
were that old Horace Greeley stop
signal that reads "30' meaning, no
more.
But for 81 on this day at Spokane,
there was to be more. AS soon as
Ted Chaplin saw 81 he knew what to
do with the Scotch. He slipped it
to him. 81 was delighted. 1t looked
as big as barrel to him, and he
called in three of his friends. With
four glasses and the bottle three
quarters full to start with, it looked
like plenty of whiskey. They took
turns blessing Ted Chaplin for CIV
ing three-quarters of a quart to his
friends. They drank one toast after
another to the health of man who
remembered his friends with three
quarters of a quart. One of them
said that this man Chaplin must be
an awfully good man to remember
his friend with three-quarters Of a
quart of Scotch; yes more than that,
ne must be an extra good man to
provide it for friends whom he knew
not, and they drank again to the
health of Ted Chaplin who provided
three-quarters Of a quart of Scotch.
Presently they passed their glasses
back to be filed for the steenth time,
and 10, the bottle was empty. Think
Of that! An empty whiskey bottle
confronting four men whose drouth
was just we'll developed. One Of
them gave vent to his disappoint-
ment and said that Ted Chaplin might
have been little mare considerate
and left that other quarter Of q quart
in the top or neck of the bottle. The
others agreed that it would have
been appreciated, and that it was
really quite disappointing to arrive
at the bottom of the bottle thus sud-
denly without warning. He might
at least have put in call bell or a
buckshot. A buckshot in the bottom
of the bottle would have rolled to-
ward the neck when the supply got
low, and acted as q wig-wag to warn
them.
Then one of them said, "Dog-gone
this man who went to all the trouble
of providing three-quarters of a
quart and then didn't finish his job"
Then another one said: What kind
Of a ding-busted fellow is this Ted
Chaplin anyway, that he would give
only three-quarters Of quart to four
thirsty men. That is less than half
pint apiece. While he was doing
it he might have done it up decently
just as we'll as to have done it in
this two-by-four manner"
BY that time they were all feeling
the workings of the booze within,
and they had forgotten their first
