Weather Is So Cool In San Francisco Georgia
Delegates Can't Show Their Loud Suspenders;
Southwest Delegates Stack Up With The Best

CAN FRANCISCO. Calf. July l.
y Chicago and San Francisco offer e
distinct contrast OF the effect OF
climate upon the disposition
While the Chicago convention swell
tered in The heat and the delegates
showed no disposition to make merry
and usually rebuffed efforts Of the
song leader. the delegates at San
Francisco, comfortable in this most
wonderful summer climate that makes
an overcoat a necessity every night
and a vest a thing TO be desired in
July, take to singing voluntarily.
They file in BY state delegations
singing and they sing on the slightest
urge from the song leader
Everybody is so comfortable that
even the Georgians, lots OF whom had
bought especially gorgeous suspen-
ders for the occasion, have not had
an excuse for peeling off their coats
Fine for Women
The one marvel Of all visitors is
the climate, and this convention Is
the biggest advertisement san Fran
cisco ever had Even the women can
keep their noses from shining with
out too frequent powdering. Ring
Lardner says the women here are bet
ter looking than the women were at
Chicago. I think IL is only because
they feel more comfortable But Al
risk Of inviting the wrath Of female
politicians, I'm going 10 say can see
no difference in the types active IN
politics here and at Chicago and as
serr that in both conventions most OF
the active women workers. say
most Of them, not all-are fat and old
or skinny and old, and the average
man is not inclined to look upon the
active women participsnts-not yet
anyhow-in national convention and
feel that the flower OF the female
sex" has yet actively grasped her op-
portuniIy to join the men at the bal
lot box.
Fewer delegates at Large"
More delegates appear 10 be accom-
panied by their wives at this conyen-
ton than at Chicago. In other words,
there are fewer delegates at large
here as one wag puts it And san
Z francisco is doing the thing better
IN the way Of looking after those
women than Chicago did In Chicago
