Say Trip Was Wonderful
"It was wonderful trip" This was
the comment of both Senator Brady
and Mr.. Holiday, as they were ex-
tended welcome home" greetings by
their friends on the streets today. The
convention, and all it's attendant fea-
lures, are now, of course, a matter OF
history, yet the two local delegates
referred with great interest to tte
scenes, bordering on wild delirium,
that were enacted in the auditorium at
San Francisco when the tide of the
balloting steadily veered from former
Secretary of the Treasury William
McAddo to Governor Cox, until the
latter received the nomination by un-
animous acclaim on the memorable.
forty-fourth ballot. the taking of
which was never finally completed.
Glad To BE Back Home
Eyes, it was a wonderful trip" re-
peated Mr.. Brady, "but you can bet
that / am glad to get back to Dear
Old Annapolis" The Senator was ac-
companied by Mrs. Brady, and as told
in yesterdays Capital there was a
happy chance meeting, the first in 18
years, between him and his sister,
formerly Miss Agnes Brady, while in
San Francisco. And not only this,
the old saying that no matter where
r.a inv rio
TO come upon one or more folks whom
they knew at home was amply borne
out. II was in the case OF Senator
Brady, when he met Sprignal r.
Wiley, a graduate of st. Johns Col
lege, and well known in Annapolis,
who is now engaged in the insurance
business on the West coast. Mr.
Wiley married Miss Edith Girault, OF
this city. "Mr. Wiley" said Senator
Brady today. was with me every day
Of the convention, and was ever ready
to extend some courtesy by way of
comfort. We met Mrs Wiley, too
Two More "ReguIar" Fellows
Mr. Brady says he also came up
with Edward Murphy, brother Of Dam

timer" i came home broke. Had to
borrow some change to help pay
street car fare across Baltimore"
said Senator Brady.
Mr. Holiday, like Senator Brady,
said he was more than glad TO get
back to Annapolis. There's no place
like it" he added. Leaving San Fran
cisco for the return trip East, Mr..
Holiday became separated from the
rest of the Maryland party for time
because he was accompanied on the
trip by cousin, and started the re-
turn from the Coast city by way of
st. Paul, the rest of the Maryland
party going north along the Pacific
to the Columbia Valley, and three
day stop at Yellowstone Park. But
it so happened that when the Mary
land Special" passed through st.
Paul, Mr.. Holiday rejoined the trav-
elers and the entire party reached
Baltimore last night together. ut
would require volumes to describe the
trip said Mr. Holiday. Il am
mighty glad that / availed myself OF
the opportunity to take it, but still
