''I don't believe there is difference of fifteen votes,' he said. The Pennsylvania governor said he wanted Pennsylvania to wield as powerful influence in the con- vention as it has done in past years, and assured the delegates he would not let his candidacy stand in the way of Penn sylvania's interest.
 State Chairman w. F. Crow told the delegates they were floundering because of the absence of Senator Penrose.
 James H. Reed of Pittsburg, who holds the proxy of Senator Knox, said he was told by Senator Knox to vote for Gov ernor Sproul so long as he had chance He intended to do it, he said, and would decide his subsequent action himself.

 STYLE ALL HIS OWN
 Gov. Hank Allen of Kansas, making the main nominating speech for Wood, set the convention off into it's first sadly frenzied outburst Governor AL len has his forehead running all the way aft. in the manner affected by my fellow reporter William Jennings Bryan. This gives the wearer a brow which is high and small in front and flat and smooth on top. But his style of speech is all his own.
 With a careless gesture he brushed his forelock back off of his rear col lar button and cut loose. regardless of temperature and his own feelings and our feelings and the official stenog- rapher feelings and everything. When he was through the delegates fore closed to Wood indulged in the cus- tomary paroxysms for thirty-five min utes.
 Followed shortly Congressman Rod enberg, chief vocal sponsor for Gov ernor Lowden. Hearing MT. Roden- berg, one knew how MT. Rodenberg spends the long winter evenings. He spends them memoriZing all the plati- tudes that have been employed in po- litical oratory since Demosthenes, the misguided father of deluded tribe, made the mistake of practicing with d Iebpte lH lis mouth llStedu OI q gag.

 So then, when the had gutted ths last word of his peroration, the Low den followers paraded for thirty-five minutes, singing Hes Jolly Good Budget System," which nobody can deny.
 DAYS BEST SPEECH If words were given to us to con ceal thought as someone has said, surely eloquence was given to us to conceal the lack of it. The best speech of the day was made by Mrs. Douglas Robinson, sister of the late Col. Theo- dore Roosevelt, in seconding the nomi- nation of Wood. and the next best speech was produced by Governor Nor row of Kentucky in seconding the nomination of Lowden. Possibly they seemed so good because they were So short. The worst speech was made by gentleman named Wheeler from San Francisco. who put Hiram Johnson in nomination. Many present-fair, un- prejudiced judges, too, and persons of experience in such matters besides went so far as to say that in many re- spects this was the worst speech that ever was. But I don't know about that I remember that once down in Kentucky lawyer of my acquaint- ance arose to thank a jury for having acquitted a man whom he had defended and when he was through the jurors reconsidered and gave his client ten years. It was not to be denied that MT. Wheeler had a magnificent deliv- cry The trouble was, though, he didn't have anything to deliver. How ever, in justice to him, 1t should be added that this was the only public address ever made by native son in which the unparalleled climate of Cali

C. F. Hampton of Holly, cashier of

Lamar on Tuesday on a trip up and
down the valley to advertise their big
dairy day show. No organization has
done more to promote dairy industry
in the valley than the Holly Cow Club,
and the annual Dairy Day celebration
is the big event of the season in the
industry in this section. The promo
ton of the purchase of fine dairy
stock receives more boosting through
this club and this event than any
other way, and all people interested
not only in the industry but in the de-
velopment of the valley should give it
hearty encouragement. Lamar should
be handsomely represented not only
by big crowd but in the exhibits as
well.

The visitor was accordingly admit
ted to the great mans presence and
favored with an official handshake of
great heartiness. "Tve been hoping to
have this pleasure for quite some time,
Poundstone," Buck announced easily
as he disposed of his hat and overcoat
on an adjacent chair. Bucks alert
blue eyes opened wide in sympathy
with his genial mouth, to deluge Mayor
Poundstone with smile that was
friendly, guileless, confidential and sin
gularly 'elightful. Mr.. Ogilvy was a
man possessed of tremendous personal
magnetism when he chose to exert it,
and that smile was ever the opening
gun Of his magnetic bombardment, for
1t was smile that always had the
effect of making the observer desire
to behold 1t again-of disarming sus-
picion and establishing confidence.
"Glad you did-mighty glad" the
mayor cried heartily. 81 have read your
articles of incorporation, Mr.. Ogilvy.
You will recall that they were pub
lished in the Sequoia Sentinel. 1t

Then you know exactly what we
purpose doing, and any further expla-
nation would be superfiuous," Buck
interrupted amiably, glad to dispose of
the matter so promptly. Again he ia
vored the mayor with his bright smile.

agreed to deliver the franchise-for

tails; then he had called on the
mayors son to complete the transac-
