girls who must feel the same as 1
do, 1 want to say that 1 think Mr..
Harrington is very unfair to the
young ONE of the country. Many
of the so-called modern girls have
had educational advantages that
their parents lacked. and it is only
natural that they should try to edu-
cate their families SO that they will
be fitted to meet the girls friends.
Don't think that l do not appre-
ciate all that my folks have done
for me, but one can't be blamed for
trying to get out of the rut. How
can a girl strive to better herself If
she has to get in and help with the

Personally, I sympathize with

PARTIES To PICK
CONVENTION
CITIES.
G. o. P. Meeting Here Has
Many Bids, But Democratic
List Is Slim.
By JOHN T. LAMBERT.
.1,nsmonolitan News service.

The Democratic national com
rnittee today is looking for a peg
on which to hang its convention
hat. The Republicans have got so
many pegs they don't know which
one to choose.
New York has lost both conven.
tons. The Republicans won't go
there because some of them feel
that even uninitiated would con-
strue 1t as visible evidence Of Wall
Street support.
Judge Morgan O'Rrien, who was
chosen chairman OF "non;par-
tisan" committee 90 raise funds for
the Democratic convention ex-
penses there, is said to have Of
Tended the Democratic national
committee by saving not penny
would be given the committee to
spend.
Seen as Too Wet.
Also, O'Brien Is said to have
made the tactical mistake Of in.
GLIDING such a prominent Repub-
lican as Will Hays on the COM
mittee which would deterfnine how
the funds for a Democratic conven-
ton would be spent. New York is
also regarded as wet, a bad omen
for politicians.
Another prominent factor which
has caused New York to lose the
convention is that the national
leaders realized 1t would provide
too conspicuous a place for the
Tamnaany chiefs to deliver Gov
ernor Smiths delegates to Oscar
Underwood.
Republicans are meeting here to-
day to choose the scene. Chicago
hotel owners have thus far refused
TO promise not 20 boost their hotel
rates II they get the convention.
Cleveland. second choice. has q fine
auditorium and adequate hotel nc.
commodations.. San francisco is
making the best OF ali offers, but
the Old Guard fear the popular
sentiment there for Senator Hiram
johnson might influence the con-
vention.
BaItimOre Has Chance.
San Francisco is. said to be
ready to spend $25o,000 on both
conventions, $4,000 for each one.

their presence. But McAdoo is ex-
pected to be strong in the West, a
fact that does not commend San
Francisco to Murphy, Brennan, and
Taggart.
Democrats recently made over
lures to Cleveland, but were in
formed that Cleveland is interested
in getting only the Republicans.
Chicago and Cleveland rank first
and second with the q. o. p. Chi
cago hotel keepers alone stand be-
tween the Windy City and the con-
pention. Democrats can hardly nf.
ford the transcontinental trip from
coast to coast, but it is not beyond
speculation that the Democrats
may hit upon Baltimore.
