An Open Convention.

Yesterdays primary results empha
size rst of all the fact that the Chi
cago convention will be open; that both
the republican ticket and the platform
will be made there, and that the tim,
intervening between now and then
will be industriously employed both
by the candidates for the presidential
nomination and their supporters. Nc
entrant in the race has today such q
part, from either confidence or depres-
sion. In word. it is today anybody's
race. When the wire is reached, the
first may be last, the last first.
Senator Harding is deservedly strong
at home, but Gen. Wood has consider
able following in the state. Senator
Poindexter was unopposed at home, and
carried the state convention with en-
thusiasm. Had Gov. Coolidge request
ed it. Massachusetts, would have in
structed for him. But he made no re-
quest, and this brought out some Wood
sentiment. Senator Lodge, however, a
declared Coolidge man, led the poll,
and, if it is desired, will present the
governors name to the national con
vention.
The warm tussle in New Jersey be-
tween Gen. Wood and Senator johnson
introduced the senator's candidacy to
the east. The result will hearten his
supporters elsewhere, showing as it
does that his strength is not, as was at
first supposed, confined to the west. He
is national quantity to be reckoned
with; and practical politicians will
reckon with him.
This is all to the good. This is no
time for cut and dried affair. There
is a campaign ahead which must be
taken into the most serious account.
Both the ticket and the platform must
up to the occasion, and rep
resent the republicans at their best.
Both, for four full months, will be
subjected to an examination which in
our quadrennial contests are always
searching, and sometimes merciless.

Georgia at San Francisco.

The democrats of Georgia in state
convention next month will have an
interesting question to decide. Far

weeks primary their candidate secured
few more delegates to the state con
yention than "Tem' Watson, who was
second In the race. Senator Smith
was third with only a few less dele
gates than Mr.. Watson secured.
The trouble is this: Mr. Watson and
Mr.. Smith both tagged as anti admin

them q popular vote almost twice as
large as the vote thrown for Attorney
General Palmer. tagged as the admin

Hence the contention that to count
Georgia for Mr.. Palmer at San Fran
cisco would be unfair, and violative
Of the principle of majority prefer
ence and rule.
In some quarters there is q feeling
that Mr.. Palmer was candidate, not
SO much for himself as against Mr..
Smith; that the administration through
him was seeking to defeat Mr.. Smith
because of the senator's support of
reservations to the peace treaty; that
Mr.. McAdoo, Champ Clark and Vice
President Marshall, though requested
to enter the race, had declined to per
form this service for the admipistra-
tion.
So, as seems likely, the state con
vention when it meets may resolve it.

he rose eagerly to cross to where they

them together.
Now why am I thinking Of Minna
tonight?" growled the old man impa-
tiently, rising and pushing back the
damp hair from his furrowed forehead.
But he was not thinking Of Minna,
except indirectly. He was thinking OF
Ida, their daughter. 1t was five years
since his wife had died. and almost
upon the first anniversary OF her death
he had driven his daughter from his
home when In her agony and despair
she confessed to him that she had sui
lied the name she bore. She had mar
ried secretly a worthless fellow who.
1t turned out. had wife living. He
had died since. but he could not forget
the stigma. The Mayos had been OF
the old Junker families, who had held
honorable records in East Prussia. He,
julius. had lost caste when he mar
ried the actress. but that, at least,
was legitimate union. And now, his
daughters involuntary offense would

to be redeemed at the end by this tri-
umph, had made the old man very bit
ter. When Ida left him the last link
that bound him to humanity seemed to
have snapped He often told himself
that he was glad she was gone. He
had put the very thought of her away;
1t should not rise up now.
A tapping sounded at the door, and
he rose up YEARLY to open 1t. Outside
stood the postman. He was very late
because 1t was the holiday season and
his mall was large. The old man gave
him a small weekly sum to bring his
letters to his apartment instead OF
leaving them in the box beneath. His
was too precious, just
now, to trust to the mercies of those
easily opened boxes. One letter that

pate him in his discovery. He took
a thin envelope from the postman,
glancing at 1t indifferently. No. this
was not from the chemical works.
Well. doubtless that one would arrive
on the morrow. He voiced the hope
unconsciously.
why. professor, there's no delivery
tomorrow" said the letter carrier,
cheerfully. Don't you know what
night this is? This is Christmas Eve"
Christmas Eve! Good! That would
mean less traffic in the street beneath
his window to disturb him the next
day. But stay! That meant post,
ponement In the letters arrival. He
grumbled something at the letter car,
rier, who went down the uncarpeted
stairs. shaking his head at the strange
ness Of some people In not knowing
when Christmas Eve came. But doubt
less he had no friends to keep the date
in his memory, poor old fellow!
Herr Mayo looked at the letter again
and his face paled. His heart began
to drum In his ears. and he cast 1t
down on a table and sank into a chair,
passing his hand YEARLY across his
forehead. The letter was from his
daughter.
After awhile he found courage to
open it, and. when he had read the
first line, he read 1t all, swallowing
hard In his throat.

in store for him except what he had
put into It; and of all life's riches he
had held to one thing only after his
wife had died.
That was his chemical researches.

several hundred laboratories. II was.
in fact, the manufacture Of synthetic
rubber. To this end, which would
mean fabulous wealth for the discov-
erer. Herr Mayo bent all his energies.
A tiny patrimony supported him mean
while. Once he had been wellto-do,
and had had friends; that was when
he was a lecturer at the Imperial uni
versity of Bonn. and before his reck-
less marriage with a notorious actress

cal society-but Cwhy- should he be
recalling this now, as he bent over
his test tubes and weighed out imper-

was Herr Mayo's one chivalrous act.
