PARTY CARDS
Lend COLOR TO
HOUSTON SCENE
'Entrancing, Odd Visitors
Give Hope Big Time Will
Be Had by All.
BY COURTNEY TERRETT

HOUSTON, Texas, June 25.-
There is every reason to hope that
the Democratic convention, which as
sembles darnply Tuesday under the
already sagging pine roof of Sam
Houston Hall, will be a more divert
ing episode than the recent funereal
happenings in Kansas City, when
the foes of Herbert Hoover were
buried in a common barrow.
This hope exists even though it
appears that AIS pals will dispose
of his non-friends as neatly as
Hoover did with his, and that every
thing is cut and dried and in the
bag.
It's foundation is in the prevalence
in the Democratic party of what
commonly are described as Char
acters" or sketches" or cards"
Republicans, even when they are
professional politicians and run to
fancy vests, are somber and dig
nified lot, but Democrats are, more
than. likely, prodigious shouters,
rampant takers, elegant singers and
incurable paraders.
Town Is Full of Cards.
Already, with the convention a
day away, Houston is, as the boys
say, practically verminous with odd
and enhancing Democrats.
Jimmy Walker does not arrive
until later today, and Wild BilP
Lyons, the former State Senator
from Colorado who will tell you on
the slightest proyocation personal
anecdotes memorized from the
Beadle books, has not yet appeared.

navoX, is expected hourly by the
pious. William Gibbs McAdoo,

dency," is not expected at ALL
But with us we have Willie Upshaw,

were probably the earliest instruments

Stone and Bronze Ages. The latter con-

ployed by certain Eskimo tribes.
