In my last article on the new
official system" I discussed the re-
quirements for suit bids and no
will discuss the very important
game invitation bid Of two" which
the proponents of the official sys
tenn" believe is the justification and
platform of their system.
The opening suit bid of two rep
resents the dividing line between a
than a game demand hand and Is
termed the game invitation bid"
1t is based mostly on probable
tricks and these simple measure
ments are specified:
% Seven 60 probable tricks Of
the hand contains only three CD
high card tricks.
CD Six and one-half c. 1-2)
probable tricks if the hand con-
tains three and one-half 6 1-2)
high card tricks.
The game invitation bid" is
forcing" to this limited extent. 1t
obligates the original bidder to re-
spond once to any bid made by
partner and his partners response
can be made on two (2) probable
tricks only, and one and one-half
q 1-2) tricks If they are all high
card. Many games are frequently bid
and made with this very interesting
bid.
An opening no trump bid of two
matches the suit bid of two ex-
act1y as it shows q strong hand
which is highly invitational. With
three suits guarded it calls for a
count of nineteen GO points using
the 4-3-2-1 count and with four
suits guarded, minimum of sew
enteen 40 points.
This so-caIled game invitation
bid' is described as the safety
valve" for those contract bridge
players who inevitably make a
forcing bid on insufficient holdings.
The sponsors of the new official
system" claim that this invitation
al bid of two" will fiji long felt
need for some bid which will ac-
curateIy show the intermediate
hand and at the same time not of
necessity be a forcing bid.

The word went out that the dead
lock persisted. What with the price
of breakfasts and beds in a big
town that was the worst possible
news.
Then an electric rumor swept the
hall, and set the Texas delegates on
their heads. Speaker John N. Gar
ner had released the Texans.
James A. Farley, Roosevelt man
ager and eX-amateur politician,
tried to drink a package Of gum and
chew a bottle of pop.

CHICAGO, July 2.-Hundreds of
delegates who had been whooping
it up in this convention since Mon
day for Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt were unable to do more
when their man finally was named
than to stand moment in their
places, sit down and inquire feebly:
Mr.. chairman, is it in order for
US to get some sleep"
Democratic marching clubs of
delegates who had been practicing
left turns and shoulder riding for
months in preparation for the big
moment were unable even to form
in single file.
The enthusiasm of dissent and the
vigor of objection, however, stimu-
lated few of Roosevelt's opponents
in the hall.
And in the vast curving recesses
of the sold-out galleries the good
folk of Chicago reported to the chair
that their judgment of the conven-
tons choice was boo, rotten and
phooey."
The stampede to Roosevelt was
stopped in its tracks, in fact, by
the bull-throated galleryites.
Convinced, apparently, that if
they could shout down William G.
McAdoo, the word never would get

around that he had switched to
Roosevelt, the galleries gave the
former secretary a booing.
1t was booing such as few men
have experienced since the McAdoo
name reused Madison Square
Garden spectators in 1924 to the
greatest, nonstop collective boo in
American history.
Il shall say what I have to say"
reported McAdoo into the loud
speakers.
The gallery ruled otherwise by
mastering it's full volume of sound
to speak louder than the loud
speakers.
Chairman Thomas j. Walsh
shouted into the mike so that all
within six inches could hear that
the gallery was out of order.
Finally, Anton j. Cermak. mayor
of Chicago, had to go to the plat
form to remind the customers that
the Democrats were spending
money in their town, and might
come back some time.
McAdoo limited that he probably
wouldn't come back, but it was all
worked out in time and the uproar
subsidized.
Sleepy delegates were late in ar
irving at the convention hall for the
$3.50 p. m. meeting after a twelve
hour session that had kept them in
their seats until long after dawn.

and besides Garner there will be
many other candidates. Senator
Robert j. Buckley 90 is one; Gil
bert M Hitchcock Neb), chairman
of this conventions platform COM
mittee is another, and then there
are A. Mitchell Palmer Pa), Cor
dell Hull (Tenn), and others.
If Garner wants the nomination
as RooSevelt's running mate, and
gets it, woman may be credited
with having a controlling part in
the speakers decision.
This woman is Mrs. John N. Gar
ner. who throughout the years of
his career in Washington, has been
her husbands personal secretary,
political adviser and helpmeet.
Mrs. Garner was worried a few
weeks ago. John was sick with
bronchitis. A year age. he went

site Of Dolly Gam, sister and host
ess for Vice President Curtis.
She might even continue to work
as secretary to Garner. For that's
the third love of her life. John,
her husband, and her children are
the other two.
The Speaker made her cry once;
it was the second time she has ever
wept, he said. That was when he
went to her one morning and sug-
gested that she hire another sec

Tears came in her eyes, and then
were wiped away when Garner
quickly explained that this was not

any one could demand. but because

him to work a little less hard, in the
interest of his health.
She and the doctor became bed
side tyrants during the Speakers
recent sickness.
He wanted to get up, move around,
even go down to his Office to at least
talk with friends and advisers in
the house. The doctor denied these
things, and Mrs. Garner backed
him completely.
The Vice-President is an easier

CHICAGO, July 2.-Speaker John
N. Garner of Texas apparently can
have the vice-preSidential nomi-
nation on the Roosevelt ticket if
he wants it.
He has played his cards shrewd-
ly in this vast political poker
game. He has always been good
poker player.
He showed his hand at the last
moment. 1t contained ninety aces
the votes of Texas and Cali
fornia that were pledged to him.
Not only were these the votes
that started the Roosevelt band
wagon Friday night, but the forty
six Texas votes actually were those
