Washington, June 4-Solution of
the high cost of living rests with the
people and not with Congress, Leslie
M. Shaw. former secretary Of the Tres
ury, said today in a review Of the
work of the SiXty-sixth Congress.
"a great many persons seem to
think that Congress is omnipotent,"
he said. ''They forget that Congress
is only one of three coordinate
branches of our government, no one
of which not even the executive
was intended to be omnipotent.
when the people of the United
States again produce to the maxi
mum Of their ability the cost of liv-
ing will be within easy reach of
every man and waman OF the average

MONTEREY, FRIDAY JUNE II 1920
Odd Facts Recalled About
Convention Sixty Years Ago

Chicago, June AT the first Re-
publican national convention held in
Chicago 60 years ago:
An Iowa delegate walked $50 miles
to get to railroad to come to the
convention.
Special railroad rates were made
and Chicago's population probably
doubled in convention week.
Hotel rooms were $3.50 to $3.50 a
day.
Crowds were so great that billiard
tables in the hotels were pressed in
to service as beds.
The "Wigwam" in which the con-
yention was held was probably about
the size of the annex to the Coliseum
in which this years convention takes
ylace.
The Wigwam's profuse decoration
was largely furnished by the Repub-
lican women Of Chicago. They were
invited to come armed and equipped
with those formidable weapons need
les, thimbles, scissors, ETC."
When a special train pulled in with
the Massachusetts and other New
England delegates, rockets were sent
up and a cannon doomed to announce
their arrival to waiting friends.
The gallery in the convention hall
was reserved for women and their
escorts Because of the great num-
Der of men unable to get in, one man
was reported trying to get into the
gallery with an Indian squaw selling
moccasins as his credentials but was
excluded on the ground that she was
ne lady.
The two chief nominating speeches
were made in less than 80 words
Abraham Lincoln was placed in nom
ination in 26 words.
The making Of the presidential
nomination was announced to the city
by the firing of a cannon placed on
the roof of the convention hall.
That night cannons and rockets
were fired, ECnfires lighted, and null
titudinous parades formed, their par
Elephants carrying anything that
would serve-even to rakes and fish,
Ing poles.
The foregoing data was obtained
from the library Of the Chicago His
torical society, which has various
relics of the convention and the cam
paign that followed

The father and I chuckled while
over the boy, but dad won't say much

nothing that it is worth making a
fuss over. He is just being a manly
lad-unashamed of honest toll!

Ftically decorated in class colors, was

scribed as the sleepiest place in the
world. Herbert Garrison, lecturer,
said residents of the town took life so
easily that, although the fish were
jumping out of the water asking to
be caught, the people preferred to
eat timed salmon from British Colum
