they were needed. One member of
this committee, Mr. Markey, edited a
daily edition of the Crackerbox which
was published for the Georgians.
With this paper they were able to
keep up with the other members of
the delegation as well as know what
the other delegations were doing.
There was a private room in the
Pennsylvania Hotel used just as a
meeting place for the Georgians.
Mrs. Northcutt declared that there
was not single delegation as beau

Georgia.
Mr. McAdoo, just before theIn NOM

MRS. NORTHCUTT TELLS
OF DELEGATES ENTER
TAINMENT AT N. Y. CON.
Says the Balcony Spirit Did Not
Represent New York.
Police Cordial

Mrs. Ralph w. Northcutt, delegate
from this district to the Democratic
National Convention in New York,
says that the entertainment commit
tee of New York was extremely cor
dial and that the city as a whole
joined in to do all they could to make
the convention pleasant. She said
that the balcony spirit did not repre-
sent New York by any means but
just the uneducated, rowdy element
of the city. She considers John w.
Davis wonderful presidential timber
and expects bis election in November.
In describing the opening dinner of
the convention which took place Mon
day night before the convention con-
vened on Tuesday, Mrs. Northcutt
said that it was the most elaborate
dinner she had ever attended. The
walls were so lavishly decorated with
flags and green fern and peonies and
all manner of other growing flowers
that the walls were not visible at all.
Mayor Hyland was the principal
speaker and other notable men were
present including Cordell Hull land
the candidates. The two thousand
guests were entertained during din
ner by chorus of policemen and a
band made up entirely of members of
the force also.
The next most beautiful entertain
ment was a breakfast given the wo-
men delegates by the New York wo-
men. The only trouble, Mrs. North
cult said, was that everything, in
Guiding the place cards, had either a
picture of Smith or his name on it.
Mrs. Northcutt said that the police
men on the outside were especially
cordial to the delegates. They would
stop traffic at any time to let dele
gates pass across the street. But al
though the police were so cordial on
the street, on the convention floor
they were entirely in sympathy with
Smith. At one time, Mrs. Northcutt
says, at one of the critical times in
the convention, the police entirely
surrounded the Georgia delegation
so that the chair could hardly hear
the vote cast
Mrs. Northcutt said that she was
proud of the southern women and es-
peclally the ones in the Georgia dele
cation. They were strictly business
like and never lost their heads under
the most trying circumstances. The
New York World declared that the
Georgia delegation was a bunch of
Ku Kluxes, but Mr.. Franklin Roose-
welt, Smiths campaign manager.
apologized for the insult before the
convention adjourned.
The news reporters surrounded
Uncle Jim Democrat from the time
he landed in New York till the time
ne left. On leaving the boat he was
put on the front seat of the cab.
While passing along the street he lif-
ted his hat to the crowd. The crowd
grew so large that Fifth Avenue traf-
nc was topped to allow the delegation
to pass. u
There was a Georgian Entertain
ment Committee composed of Geor-
gians who live in New York and this
committee was always at the COM
mand of the delegates, leaving their

!. complex matter, having to do with
the promotion of workers from grade

that large number Of the clerks will
lind themselves reduced in pay unless
some way is found to make correction.
Redistribution of the Government
personnel was conceived as a means
Of effecting an increased scale Of paw
The United States has maintained it's
departmental pay rates for over half a
century without change. In every
ether line Of private employment and
occupation compensations have been
increased in that period. Uncle Sam

try had maintained a stationary scale
Reclasslhcation was proposed as a
means OF REIMBURSEMENT to effect a bet

This work was very pains,akingly
done, on highly scientific lines The
net result, however, has not been what
the employees of the Government had
reason to expect. The average in
crease in compensation was small. in
some cases barely equalins the bonus
payments that were started during the
war as means Of compromising for
the abnormally high cost OF living In
some instances reductions were suf-
