Moore Makes Sacrifice.

Naturally, the governor offered the
place to Moore, wins would rather have
accepted it than any other job in public
life. But harmony required his saCri-
flee. And when IL came to eliminating
himself, Moore $50 eliminated some.
body else, namely, Homer Cummings,
1t was generally assumed when Moore
declined the pla % that Cummings would
be chosen, but. when Moore got here
he put his foot down hard on such a
proposal.

Under no twist Of the imagination
can White be regarded as an anti Will

AS a Wilson supporter in congress
White helps Cox retain the dry strength

tor the acceptance of the challenge he
has issued. He wants the senate COM
mittee to keep the spotlight on eXpendl-
lures of both parties and will be dis.
appointed If the Republican senate COM
mttee turns a deaf ear to his plea.
The selection OF George White as
Democratic national chairman and cam
paisn manager to succeed Homer y
Cummings, was not accomplished with.
out much furrowing OF the brow and
anxious travail.
The inside story of the Cummings cpl
sode is this:
Mr.. Cummings accepted the chairman =
ship virtually at the request Of the
White House two years ago, when ii
was realized that preparation for the
1920 campaign could not begin too soon.
He was called to duty only three weeks
before the 1918 congressional campaign,
too late to turn the adverse tide which
had begun. In the ensuing two years
he worked indefatlgably, but he didn' t
coddle some OF the organization men
as they wanted to be coddled. Cum
rnings spent more Of his time making
speeches than he diu playing petty poll
ties. When the San Fran6fsce convem
ton came. some of the organization
men, including Edmund II. Moore. of
Ohio, we're peeved because Cummings
didn't get them enough tickets for Lheir
boosters In the galleries. Moreover,
Cummings was talked OF as dark horse
by friends and is supposed to ha te had
his lightning rod up for the nom nation,
and when he was petitioned to release
the Connecticut delegation of "a votes
to Cox. he refused to do so at any
rate his friends over whom he Is Sup
posed to have had influence didnt break
to Cox when the latter need ed votes.
On the other hand. Cummings ha !
made great speech and was the idol
OF many of the delegates. Now It so
happens that every succeCasul nominee
picks his own campaign manager or
national chairman. 1t WIS logical that
Moore. of Ohio, who mad. managed the
Cox campaign so splenddiy, should be
come campaign managela but the Ohio
committeeman had also rubbed some
people the wrong way At San Francisco
and is said to have Teen out Of sym
rathy with the league of nations as an
issue.

brought about sixty gowns for the
occasion. This represents the num-
Der of children that took part in the
play. 1t was perfect reproduction
of fashionable wedding in church

dinner were included. The groom
was Emil Hibblen, and the bride
was Eileen Richmond, who is the
handsome little mistress in the
home of Prof. Richmond, superin-
tendent of schools. Both bride and
groom were beautifully attired In
the accustomed wedding gowns
All the members of the bridal party
were under school age. The beau
tiful ring ceremony was used
Lillian Jensen being the handsome
ring bearer. The unique service
which was at no time lacking In
humor and interest, was conduct
ed by Melvin Willoughby, who
functioned as minister of worthy
parts. He was attired in the usual
black Prince Albert. AS might be
expected he did not fail to make
both parties promise to obey the
mandates of the other, which each
party promised faithfully to do
The laughter inspired by the per-
formance was evidence that the
audience was more than pleased
with the program.
