Organized Cheers and Songs.
Organization is not an unmixed
blessing. Witness the attempts to pro-
duce organized cheers and organized
songs" in the big convention hall.
Why not let the people do little of
the cheering and singing themselves!
But there Is a cheer leader and song
leader, who go through all the contor-
tions. When ''The Battle Hymn of the
Republic" was put on by one of these
leaders of canned music. he tried to get
the vast throng to do a little trick sing
ing on one of the lines, and told them
how to do it. He might have remem-
bered that with great occasion and a
great song tricks are little bit out
Of place.
Senator Harry New of Indiana is
known as politician par excellence.
He belongs to the old school. perhaps,
but the new cam teach him little.
We'll boys" Ne said today. there's
been lot of iialk about leaving this
nomination tosthe people and the con-
vention. Andsnow it's up to the con-
vention. Never have I seen a conven-
tion before when the matter was so
up in the air. The convention has the
matter in it's hands and everybody is

that the man they vote for is going
to be nominated"
Shaking his head. the senator
moved on his way through the lobby
of the Congress Hotel.

nessEcommittee reported to the con-
vent9on today it made no recommen-
datinn for change In the allotment
OF delegates to the southern states.
1tsSreport was adopted. carrying the
old provisions for representation in
tho convention.
This does not mean that there will
he no fight to reduce the representa-
upn of the southern states. After the
Platform has been adopted and the
candidates have been nominated, un-
der the order of new business a mo-
ton will be made for the reduction
Of southern representation, though
the motion will not name any states.

republican votes are not cast.
Here's some more dark horse dope
as offered by delegate to the con-
vention today. Gov, Henry j. Allen
Of Kansas is said dark horse. AS in
the case of other dark horses, it is
not expected he will have a chance
unless the leading candidates become
hope1essly involved and the conven-
tion is deadlocked. Imagine the dead
lock. Then Gov. Aliens name is put
forwards He has been a strong sup
porter. of Gen. Wood-maker of the
speech nominating him. 1t is to be
expected that much of the Wood
stength will swing to him. The
farmers Of the country are strong for
him. The business interests are not
averse to him. Only the leaders
the leaders. mind you-of organized
labor are set against him because of
the manner in which he has attempted
to put an end to industrial strife in
Kansas. Why can't he be nominated
and elected? The answer is, not un-
less there Is a deadlock.
Women Support Hoover.
Hoover seems to have a great fol-
lowing among the women Among
those who have registered at his
headquarters and are said to be enx-
lous to see him nominated are Mrs. ].
