ring and planning and possibly plot
ting, or to move quietly and whisper
ingly among the delegates at all times.
He may need convincing facts about
his home city, but what he must ever
have In mind is the politics Of the
convention.
Occasionally in Spot.
Only once in q great while Is the
convention bureau manager drawn. into
the spot" An exception was noted
recently when the convention manager
of the Capital Committee was made an
honorary member of local piano tun-
erS' organization. This action accord
ing to his own words, made him auto
matically or accidentally or axiomat-
ically or in some way q member Of the
national organization Of piano tuners.
According to his own confession the
high point of his musical education Is
his ability to distinguish quickly a
trombone from a bass drum. But he
was pleased with the honor of men,
bership and besides 1t was in line Of
duty.
One other thing the convention bu-
reau manager should always have in
mind; he must always have the ardent
support of the local organization in his
home city. One Of the essential things
in going after the national convention
of any organization is to get the leaders
Of the local division together for a bit
of inspiration. For 1t is the local lead
ers who must stand out in front in the
battle for the next convention. In the
fact the convention manager must If
1t be possible to do so, have certain
local leaders along with him to the
convention city or to the board meeting
where the decision on the next meeting
place Is to be made. Convention guests
as State fair guests or guests OF any
other kind are sensitive. They do not
wish to come to any city unless the
latchstring Is easily visible. And there
is nothing so convincing as to the
future visibility of the latchstring as
a warm greeting and slap on the back
from a few of the boys who are pro-
posing to entertain the next convention.
The convention bureau manager must
be prepared for ups and downs but II
he can make the ups exceed the downs,
he has no kick coming.
