Vatican. All the corridors through
which the Holy Father was carried
were lined with tribunes in hich stood
thousands of spectators ho could not
gain admission to the chapel, most Of
which was reserved for the members
of the ecclesiastical and lay house
holds, the diplomats accredited to the
Vatican and the members of the
Swiss, Palatine and noble guards who
participated in the professional.
The Pope was carried by sixteen
uniformed chairbearers and wore a
heavily-jeweled triple gold crown and
white robe lightly embroidered
with gold. Scores of cardinals, arch
bishops bishops and patriarchs pre-
ceded and followed him. The red
and purple robes of these dignitaries
were in striking contrast to the black
velvet uniforms and white collars OF
many members Of the lay court who
were dressed in Spanish style.
Cheering greeted the Pope as lie
passed through the corridors. He was
assisted in the mass by several car
dinals and a male choir of 80 voices
which sang without instrumental ac-
compartment At the conclusion o;
the mass which lasted about an hour
the Pope was carried tremendously
back to his apartments and again
greeted by applause from the crowds

presuminr to speak for the Vermont

Presuming to speak for the Vermont
delegation at the Chicago convention,
the Rutland Herald explains why the
delegation persisted in voting for Wood
at the tail end of the 10th ballot, long
after it was plainly evident that Wood
was defeated, and at time when in
structed delegations were planning to
make Harding's choice unanimous, by
declaring that the people Of Vermont
wanted Wood" etc. knowing that they
and their constituents would be COM
PEELED to vote for Harding or lend in
direct strength to the Democratic
nominee, they might, with better grace,
it seems to us, have joined in the move
ment to make Harding's nomination
unanimous. Moreover, they could have
done this without playing traitor to
Wood. The Times ventures the opinion
that Vermont Republicans were not so
bound up in Wood that they couldn't
see anyone else on the political horizon,
and The Times believes, too, that they
would have preferred to see Vermont
lined up with the remainder Of the
country after the contest was ended
