Political Conventions.

Whatever one may think of the rela-
tive merits of the convention and prl-
mary systems, every newspaper Will
be easily resigned to the convention
because of the far greater news in
terest which it has.
The old county, city and congress
sional conventions, to say nothing OF
the state meetings, were among the
most exciting end spectacular events
in civic life in the old days. The tense
excitement of the hour before assem-
bling, the dramatic effect with which
many of the old-time chairmen sound
ed their keynote speeches, the bitter
fights of contesting delegations, the
hot debate, the sensational accusations
leveled by one political leader against
another, the highly eulogistic nominal
ing speeches, the balloting, the dead.
lock, the final nominations of the cam
didates-all these things made show
of far greater entertainment value
than any circus or theatrical perform
ance ever staged.
And, glory, how they did fight. The
congressional conventions in many re-
spects furnished the finest examples of
political battle. The air was sur
charged with electricity The county
delegations always had to have a fire
eater or two, to offer battle and accept
the gauge of combat thrown down by
the opposing forces. Even yet one can
see some Of those old fellows-gener-
ally good jury lawyers-springing to
their feet, long locks rumplcd, hands
raised aloft in trembling earnestness,
and their impassioncd oratory was
worthy of a Roman forum or British
parliament.
And if there was only half chance
there was a walkout by delegation
which felt that it's hcavcn-born rights
had been trampled meath the despots
heel. And angry, growing, shouting
masses of outraged citizens would
crowd into the aislcs, and stampede
out Of the hall, threatening physical
and political vengeance, and winding
up in dingy hall somewhere else in
the town for a trump" convention
with two tickets in the field as the in
cIitahle result.
Oh, boy! Those were great days.
Il will &c interesting to watch the con-
vcntions of the present year and COM
pare them for pep and pugnacity to

a report Of J. H. Butler, superinten-
dent Of schools of Isabella, to the d.
rector Of education. The superinten-

historic Importance. and suggests that

.B 30 GIRL j Il.
BY MINNIE. N. TOWNSEND

g. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
Little -old Mrs. Abbott knelt before
the hot stove and tenderly basted the
sizzling brown-crusted turkey that re-
posed within the oven. She lifted the
lid Of the warming oven and noted
with satisfaction the sugary coated
mince, the should er-strapped cranberry
and the deep, luscious squash pies.
Next she inspected the neat rows of
goodies on the pantry shelves; jellies,
chow-chows, celery, nuts and candies -
everything to tempt the appetites of
her numerous family, which gathered
yearly at Christmas time. 49,.
There was graham bread for Melissa,
who did not care for white, and there
were Bobbie's raspberry tarts, without
which, to him, Christmas dinner
would be incomplete.
The old lady's smile faded as she
gazed at the flaky tarts. Although
twenty-four years old, Bob was her
baby, and now for the first time in his
life was causing her much worry. All
Of the remainder of her large brood
had married well. a..
Bob had set aside all of the tradi-
tons Of his family and was keeping
company" with a slim, delicate little
city girl, partial to shiny, dark, plain
satin dresses and wearing the style of
bobbed hair which, to family like the
AbbOtts, spelt the stage or a question
able character. The dear little old
fashioned mother wiped away a tear
with the back of gnarled hand. To-
day this unreal little creature was to
take Christmas dinner with the family,
and although she felt unfaithful to her
boy for thinking of such thing, she
hoped with all her heart that Miss
Ainslie would sense the difference be-
tween herself and Bob's own rosy
checked sisters. Perhaps even Bob
himself would be brought to realiza-
ton Of the difference.
cts all for Bob's happiness" she
told the raspberry tarts huskily, as a
long line of family ancestors swept
swiftly before her vision.
Why, even Bob himself had horrid
dent in his side where shrapnel had
ripped him open. mol! This little nom
descript nonentity could not enter their
family of brave traditions.
Later, around the creaking, festive
board, she looked them all over; big,
stalwart men and gay plump, rosy
checked women, all happy in the Joy
of family reunion Truly the slim,
satiny figure, between Melissa and
Bobby, looked out Of place, though she
smiled bravely and chatted quietly
with Bob.
They were in the midst Of the steam
ing plum pudding when the door bell
pealed merrily and Bob ushered in a
cousin who was too far from his home
to get there in time for Christmas din
ner. "HOpe you don't mind me drop
ping in on you this way, Aunt Lip
he asked, knowing full well what the
answer would be.
"Bless your heart, no. she made
haste to reply, and promptly set about
to make the. unexpected guest comfort
able. -.
In the general confusion of greet
ings it was some time before the new
conner was introduced to little Miss
Ainslie, but when Bob did the honors,
to the amazement of everyone, the late
conner just stared.
LEFTY Ainslie! Can it be possible? -
In an instant he was around the table.
holding tight to two slim white hands.
