praise of the delegates for their
courtesy, are enforcing again the
rules against 'jaywalking.
Hotels Cleared
The milling, perspiring, whisper
ing throngs have vanished from the
hotel Hobbies. The button-holing is
over. The midnight conferences in
smoke-filled rooms" are history.
The lusty-lunged Hoover bands
men have parked their instruments
until the Fourth of July festivities.
Kansas City, if the delegates did
not, put on good show. There
was not a hitch. Even the weather
was perfect. Those who had mis-
givings last winter when the Repub-
lican committee selected Kansas
City over San Francisco found moth
ing about which to complain. They
said it was too small. But there
was room to spare. They said the
delegates and visitors would wilt
