II there and just have a good time
and nobody nominated.
In other wds. I am pulling for
town named San Francisco, where
the last democratic convention was
held and it didn't do nobody no harm
except physically.
NOW. I suppose a great many per-
~ sons will want TO know what
reasons I got to offer for boosting
San Francisco as a democratic con-
vention town. Well in the first place
1t helps the railroads as the most of
the democratic candidates comes from
the far east and when the convention
is held in what I have nicknamed the
Golden Gate, which they all got last
time, why they half to pay their fare
acrost the country and sometimes
bring their wives along with them
which means fare and y.
In the I'd. place they have got a
hotel in San Francisco where the
asst. mgr. comes up to your rm. at
IN the AM. and says here is the
latest news and you half TO ask him
for a corkscrew to read it.
In the Sd. place. vile I will admit
that vile a great many good political
writer's lives in San Francisco, why
the most of them lives in other places
and the majority of political writers
would rather be away from home vile
writeing a convention.
Fourthly San Francisco has got the
best cornet player in the world and
plays at Mr.. Tate's restaurant if he
amt left it and you have no idear
what a relief good cornet player is
at a convention.
Fifthly the differentS in time be-
tween N Y. VS.. San Francisco is or
4 hrs. and you keep saying to your
self what is the use of writeing any
thing for y. Y. paper as you are
too late and the result is you don't
write nothing and everybody is salts
fed.
Sixthly one of the prominent citi-
zens of San Francisco is a boy that
used to play some position on a base
ball club and got his job down so
fine that any time you so anywhere
in San Francisco he is backing up
the play.
Seventhly by the time you have got
home from a place like San Francisco,
why you have been on the train so
long that you look pretty good.
Eighthly when they was a conven-
ton out there in 1920, why one day a
delegate at large and q accredited
delegate got up and give Irwin Cobb
one and Il votes and personly 1 got
a !. a vote from a delegate at large
which shows that in a place like San
Francisco. even delegates at large
uses their head once in a vile. What
a president Mr.. Cobb would be and
when I say that I am not talking
about myself.
T<HoSE is some of the reasons why
i would like to have the next
democratic convention held in San
Francisco and further and more they
tell me that a man named Henry
Ford is libel to be a candidate for
president on the next democratic
ticket if any and ! want to say this
namely that If any manufacturers of
automobiles is nominated on a ticket
nominated in San Francisco. why it
will be the manufacturer OF a car
that has got a first speed going up a
hill or a good brake to leave you
down easy of hill which If the
convention was in N. Y. they might
nominate a person entirely different
as everything in n. Y. is on the level
which / mean from the standpoint of
driveing a car and not politics.
So all and all friends leave us have
the next democratic convention in
San Francisco if theys going to be
one and another reason is that all
the boys tells me that the convention
hall where they held it the last time
is beautiful place and I was out
there to cover it and am still wonder
ing what does 1t look like.
