If these stern men would only try

The railroad managers are seeking
To have the train conductors bred
To courteous and kindly speaking
They may not mutter, growl or snort
Or imprecate, or yell, or Snarl, or
Indulge in speech of any sort
Except the language of the parlor
I'd like to travel over there,

For fear the man who took my fare

I've wished conductors over here

WASHINGTON.-It now appears
certain that the two presidential can
didates will be nominated at the ma
tional conventions and not before.
The instruction season will soon be
at hand. There will be primaries
which, history shows, have yet to de-
! eide nomination, and there will be
state conventions, which will be con-
siderably more important.
In both of them, it appears, the
politicians will be working the old
favorite son and uninStructed delega-
tion game as hard as ever. This ap-
plies to both parties, but at the
moment one is forced to suspect that
that method will provide more nour-
ishment for the politicians who hope
to stop Hoover than for those who
want to stop Smith. The situation
also holds considerably more comfort
for those who have Vice President
Dawes on their minds than for those
democrats who would pass the ball to
Reed or Woolen or someone else like
Owen Young.
Inc pOlClcal map Is SClll largely an
unaSSembled picture puzzle, but with
out attempting to canvass any great
number of states. let's look at a strip
Of the most populous, which send
healthy bloc of delegates to the con-
vention and whose politicians have al
ways welded great influence in the
past. That is. take Massachusetts,,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois. At this writing,
Mr.. Hoover has none of them under
his belt, while Governor Smith has at
least four.
AS far as the republicans are con-
cerned, Massachusetts, is up in the air.
Hoover'S friends have been busy there,
but the delegation probably will go to
Kansas City and vote at first for
Governor Fuller unless Fuller forbidS
it.
New York politicians have agreed to
send an uninStructed delegation. What
this delegation will do at the conven-
ton is uncertain.
In Pennsylvania, Mr.. Mellon and
Mr. Ware have yet to pass the word

down the line. The delegation is ex-
pected to go instructed for Mellon. It
may later switch to Hoover and it
may not.
Senator Frank Willis seems to have
the Ohio delegation sewed up and the
Hoover people don't seem to be espe-
cially happy about that, as it may
eventually be turned over to Dawes.
A similar, though more definitely
outlined situation, prevails in Indiana,
which will send favorite son dele
CATION for Senator Jim Watson who
wants Dawes.
Illinois politicians, having about four
candidates from their own state, are
nearly all anti-Hoover. Lowden may
get solid Illinois delegation, which
presumably means a Dawes delegation
sooner or later,
1T must be remembered, of course,
that Hoover is out in front. Although
his wagon has apparently slowed up
somewhat, it may finish in burst OF
speed. Hoover has lined up some eX-
cenent politicians who are actively
engaged in promoting his campaign.
There is more or less Hoover strength
nearly everywhere, whereas Lowd n
hasn't penetrated either the east or
the Pacific coast, and the extent OF
the Dawes strength is unrevealed.
Turning to the democrats, Smith
will have either all or nearly all the
delegates from New York, Massachu-
setts PENNSYLVANIA and Illinois. His
enemies hope that Indiana viii oppose
him to the last and they even con-
tend that Governor Donahey may be
able to keep the Ohio delegation from
him. But it is more generally sup
posed that Ohio at least, having voted
at first for Atlee Pomerene, will turn
to Smith.
Anti-Smith hopes, in fact, look
rather desperate. The candidacy OF
Reed of Missouri marks the appear
ance of the first strong candidate
against him. but right now the only
seeming significant fact about that
seems to be the belief OF many Mis-
that Reed strength will late=
be Smith strength.

In behalf Of the party putting forth the Houston plat
form. ssnguine democrats may see in the seticn OF
the Corn Belt Conference a guaranty Of those million
votes. But the s~keptical will be mindful that the farm
vote is not subject TO sight draft. and the less 50 IN
years Of fair prices. Of which 1878 seems 20 be one as
least as respects the products Of the corn belt. Never
thsless. the action Of the Corn Belt Conference must
be listed>as one Of the assets Of the democratic reket'
even though 1t is pretty certain TO be . much less vaiu-
able one than IL will please democrats to regard It.
There has been sons dispute rs to the degree o.
counteuance that the M~cNary-Haugen bill gets fron
the democratic platform. 1t is cryptic enough to ex-
cuse the controversy. But 10 the apprehension OF the
Corn Belt Conference, at least, there appears to ee
little doubt as to its precise meaning. In indorsing
the Houston plank the conference, according TO the
language of the press report, went on record rs stand
ing firm for the principles Of the M~cNary-Haugen farm
relief BILL" That measure has been put forth by its
protaeonists as a scheme for throwing the shelter of
over the agricultural industry, and the
resolution adopted by the conference speaks plain
lively Of the petition Of the farmers, hitherto denied,
"for their place in the American protective system"
Prohibition may be the paramount issue. or the
most determinative issue in other sections Of the eoun-
try. And It may even be in the corn belt. But it will
not be so with the consent of tbs Corn Belt Confer
ence. That body Stands against" any effort ito OBJ
scure or submerge" the farm relief issue "by appeals
to religious intolerance, wet and dry prejudices or any
other issue that has been adequately dealt with under
the constitution Of the United States"
One needs be no cynic to see in the two party decla-
rations on the subject Of farm relief rival bids for
the agrarian vote. The democratic bid has been COM
puted to be the higher by the Corn Belt Conference,
which is not surprising to one who considers that the
republicans were restrained by the necessity Of ap-
proving the record that Mr.. Coolidge has made on that
question.

The World and All
TO A NEWLY MARRIED FRIEND

Dear Dick: The announcement Of your marriage in
terests me more than you think. I didn't just throw
the card in the wastsbssket and grunt, Another fool
caught" as the movies and the jokesters have taught
US we should do in such cases. I've been thinking a
good deal about you in your new venture. I've been
wondering whether you'd care for q few suggestions
from an old-timer.
You see, I've been married nearly ten years, and
mine has been such a successful adventure that l
don't dare tell you how complete a success it Is, lest
you disbelieve me. So / feel impelled to speak a little
to the newly married folk who are constantly beset
with defeatist talk and literature.
If you were to believe the jokesters and the gloomy
married men you are all too likely to meet, you'd be
inclined to throw over marriage altogether the very
first time some little thing like a toothache or an un-
expected bill for millinery happens to turn up.
Don't believe the cynics who try to convince you
that marriage is a disaster, that all men are trieked
into marriage by designing women, and that a wife is
a liability, q "ball and chain" IL | were q wife I'd put
a good heavy right to the jaw of the man who referred
to me as q ball and chain.
Every young man enters marriage a bit scared and
doubtful, because Of the elaborate defeatist propa-
ganda that has been dinned into his ears all his life.
[ know. I attended vaudeville shows and reasoned that
a million vaudevillians couldn't be wrong. I was a re-
porter, covering divorce cases, for several years. I
got such a permanent fright on that I SHE'D away from
girls as though they might be carrying f-h hooks with
which to grab me. Whenever | found myself feeling
interested in a girl, ! cult seeing her at once. I was
well sold on defeatist psychology. When it finally
happened, ] was more truly alarmed than the average
man is when he's sentenced to electrocution.
Take it from me, it's the great adventure that
makes complete living possible. Always treat your
wife as respectfully and as politely as you did before
you married her, and she'll respond with perpetual
love and appreciation. Always remember that a gen.

in the world, and some Of them may be dissgreesble
