CONVENTION NEWS
Is DISCOURAGING
Hiram johnson Sleeps Well
in Spite of Politi-
cal Meetings.
BY LOWELL MELLETT
written for the United Press

CHICAGO. June 10.-The news
today is very discouraging. The
news is that Hiram Johnson slept
like a los last night. We have it
from Mrs. johnson herself
If Sen. Johnson is not excited
enough 10 kept awake at night the
delegates cannot be blamed for not
keeping awake during the daytime.
But IL Is all very diScOuraging for
the crowds Of correspondents who
keep hoping against hope that 4
thrill will yet be produced by the
convention. II has become a brom-
ide that nobody is excited here ex-
cept johnson and how you are learn
ing for the first time in any news
paper that not even Johnson is ex-
cited.
We saw him standing in front of
the Auditorium hotel. He was do
ing nothing In particular except
standing there. Another man was
doing nothing In particular except to
stand there. Another man was
standing beside him They were
talking in a desultory way. Were
there great crowds blocking the
sidewalk and interfering with traf-
fic along the boulevard? Were there
hundreds of swapping cameras
gulping down the historic scene?
Were the moving picture takers
risking their lives 10 record Il on the
imperishable films? There wasn't.
Throngs passed by. Not a murmur
Of interest, not gasp of excitement.
That is the sort of spontaneous
demonstration that Johnson evoked
this day. You can write your own
description of the one that William
G. Sproul or Gov. Lowden or Gen.
Wood would have evoked under the
same circumstances.
Thrills arc Lacking.
No, the candidates cannot supply
the thrill that the situation be
seeches. Today we are beginning TO
be told that one of the issues will
do it; the issue of the league OF
nations. Wen get the right kind
of a platform plank or the party will
be driven asunder." declared a tall.
thin, earnest senator from Illinois
Sen. Lodge gave the adherents of
the opposing side on this question a
chance TO show their feelings in the
convention hall and the demonstra-
ton from each side was not suffci-
ent to awaken the doing bartender
in the near-beer bar directly under
the Coliseum floor. II would seem,
as this stage that the party could
be riven just like the earnest senator
said without anybody five feet away
hearing the rip. A better guess,
however. is that with no body work
ed up 20 a higher pitch or cnthusi-
asm than has been here told, the
chances that the party NAV split is
as remote as Sirius the dog stars
lost pup.

Followers of the political drama

Yesterday he pulled the Uncle
Toms Cabin" stun for what may
be the last time; and the men
whose fathers cbeered him 40 years
ago, warmed his old heart with ap-
plause.
AS we left the hall a man nudged
my arm and pointed to a soiled
and faded old figure. balanced de-
iectedly on the edge Of the curb.
That's so-and-sO," he said 10 me,
twenty years ago he and three other
men ruled their state like kings
/ looked at the battered old wreck
of a man and could hardly believe
my eyes. Could this be one at
whose nod congressman bowed and
judges bent the knee
ON Political Stage.
A man may go 10 work on the
stage, and when his voice fades
and his limbs are old, the other
actors will get UP a show and turn
over the proceeds 10 him.
But only one out of a thousand
like Chauncey-gets a benefit per
Torrance on the ..olitical stage: and
the proceeds are merely cheers.
The ninety and nine old actors
stand out on the curb. their eyes
glazed and wistful, their clothes
