think we have been sent out to
watch out for him by Mayor HyIan.
He il simply flabbergasted, and we
have great fun"
Another little conceit IL to have
ones self PACED about the big
hotels. Bellboys have q fiat price
of 81 for this Ieather.lunged pro.
cedure, and you'd be surprised how
many enjoy sitting about to hear
their names .screeched.
Beans at Waldorf.
In Difference to q quaint old
American custom. Jud Stevens. Of
Pike county, Ohio. gave a bean din
ner in the Louis Quinze, room at
the Waldorf last night taIS
Mr.. Stevens Is prominent In Pike
county politics and was q leader in
the movement to dredge, Owl creek.
He wants nothing out OF this
election but the county seat post
office. After he filled his guests
with beans he took advantage Of
their plight and spoke.
In q word. he Is for more free
Congressional seeds and against
Government control Of ice houses.
AS this convention enters the
home stretch am quite amazed
at the number Of things wrong with
the world. A week ago / had hope
for the human race. But now
everything Is changed. So Far about
everything in America has been at
tackled except Ann Pennington's
knees.
There isn't q public man I
haven't heard called rascal. There
isn't a law that should not, be re.
pealed. The country rs facing every.
thing from the boil weevil to rev.
olution.
What America needs Is a cam
paign Of love and kisses from you
to me. This convention is not a
convention. It is a national growl.
Tear Up Regulations.
Men who rarely speak Ill Of any
one come to a national convention,
clot IN groups and tear regulations
to tatters.
National conventions have lost
their old time flavor. The wide.
hated. back-slapping boys who used
to pass out the Ell Punko cigars and
circulate around shouting welcome
to Harry, Ed and Bill, are no more,
They dispense their HOSPITALITY n
hotel rooms. One political leader ala
not leave his Waldorf room from
Sunday evening until Saturday att
ernoon.
It is an interesting study To watch
the attitude Of the old timers to-
ward the women politicians. They
try to, accept them with the free
and easy manner they display to.
ward the men, but 1t is all awkward
and creaks.
America has been having .shA
KIND" weeks to everything from
the Aadvark to the Zebra. ThA
next step Is to have a "be kind to
defeated candidates" weak. The
poor dears need sympathy. they
nave found the old human race
isn't 30 human after all.
There was one who was hiaseA
He told q reporter afterward thai
ne actually suffered physical pain.
His record was as clean as the
proverbiAI hounds tooth.
Through with Politics.
II am through with politics
forever" he said. at absoiuteIv
shakes your faith. I am CONVINCED
tonight more than ever that =
mans best friend is his dog and
want to get home to him"
Don't blame the Democrats. II
was the same thing In Cleveland.
American politics Is the sort Of
$3.50 game where one carries the
piano and another the stool.
Madison Square Garden il soon
to be torn down. Everything is
worn out from the Scared bronze
OF Diana on top to the well.known
welkin in the big hall. Conventions
need more intimacy and privacy.
