Smith. Mr.. Taggart holds that Sena-
tor Ralston's nomination is the
logical outcome of the perplexing sit
uation in which the Democrats find
themselves, and his siXty-six years
is not an excessive age. at that
1t seems quite probable at this
writing that several days must elapse
before light will begin to peep over
this dark and confusing situation re-
garding the selection of candidate
for President The vice presidency
is being particularly ignored by the
delegates. While in the Republican
national convention the vice presi-
dency and the platform were the
only problems to deal with. here the
Democrats find the ku kluX klan
issue and the naming of the candidate
for first place so overtopping in i'm
portance that one scarcely hears a
whisper of talk over the vice presl-
dency.
Delegates Tired and Broke.
To put a little human interest in
this dispatch it may be said that the
convention seems to be getting very
tired and likewise, some of the dele
gates say, going broke" very rapid
ly There is no gouging here, rates
being high normally and only a lit
tie advanced, but most of these peo-
pie are not accusct omed to paying

bergasted as they see their bills soar
ing into unaccustomed figures.
Yesterday was a trying time upon
all hands The heat in the conven
tion hall was simply appalling and
the session was long. A violent thun-
derstorm at night cooled the atmos-
phere. but the temperature was ris-
ing again this morning. The conven-
tfon is approaching the time when
night sessions will be necessary and
delegates and visitors will have to
swelter through long roll calls.

Pemberton Dancers Entertain

Stafford Pemberton and his dancers
presented a dance recital on the lawn
of Walter Reed Hospital last night
before an unusually large audience.
The program presented was prac-
tically the same as that given at the
President Theater this spring, includ-
ing as feature numbers The Garden
of Eden,' King David's Dance, .
Spanish Dance" and THE Slave
Market The natural beauty of the
open-air setting aided the dancers con-
siderably in giving effectiveness tos
their numbers.
Rain had caused postponement of
the entertainment twice during the

went in for another demonstration,
not as great or as prolonged as the
previous ones, but none the less a
demonstration such as usually fol-

Senator Walsh began rapping for
order presently, however, and insisted
on having it. although some of the

little more fun. The senator got
things quiet. and the clerk went on
through the list, calling Georgia,
