Horse show garden tours and garden
parties mark one of the most attractive
features Of Spring life IN Washington,
and this year is unusually rich in
promise. It is little too early for any
really definite plans for White House
garden parties to come from Mrs.
Hoover, but undoubtedly she will carry
out her usual custom of entertaining
at several before she leaves for visit
Of any length at Rapidan.
1t took a day like yesterday to make
one realize what a crowded life the
First, Lady of the Land must lead,
though the events which she attended
must have been much to Mrs. Hoover's
taste and liking The impressive cere-
mony of dedicating the beautiful
Shakespeare memorial and the presen-
tation of Alice in Wonderland" at the
National, both claimed her attendance.
Mrs. Hoover is particularly woman's
woman in meeting groups and she had
several thousands of such notables in
troduced to her during the week. the
reception to the National League of
American Pen Women and the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution being
the largest groups.
OF all the beautiful events happen
ing in the Capital, nothing is ever love-
lier from every standpoint than con-
cert on the esplanade of the Pan
American Union, and the first outdoor
concert Of the season in this artistic
setting will take place at o'clock the
evening of May l9. The program will
consist Of Latin American music played
by the Marine Band and there will, as
usual, be assisting artists. With Con-
greSS in session, these concerts are Of
far more than usual importance and
interest.
The National Capital Horse Show
Is the most important QUITO door
event of the month Of May-unless
there should be White House garden
parties-and this year Vice President
Curtis, who has appeared as a patron
but never. attended. expects to occupy
q box. Mrs. Gam, his sister, is a
patron OF the show and the Secretary
OF the Treasury and Mrs. Ogden Mills,
Senator and Mrs. William E. Borah and
4 Senator Arthur Capper are other
4 patrons. The date for the opening OF
the show this season is May IL and II
will continue through each day, tnclud-
ing May IA.

The scene Representative Howard describes is
somewhat typical of conventions after
nominating speech, but Bryan's speech thrilled
his crowd more than usual.
That one might become confused while ad-
dressing a convention Is proven by the follow
ing, from the Kansas City Journal Of July
6, 1900:

of supporting the Democratic party and its

The Mr.. Davis referred to was Webster
Davis, who had been invited to address the
convention. Another account said Mr.. Davis

THE heat in the convention halls In the past
has been one of the main drawbacks in
holding conventions in Midsummer. Prostra-
tions have been numerous. 1t is so arranged
now that much of the discomfort will be
relic of the past, as the Stadium In Chicago

in motion picture theaters. The delegates will

in no way allay the enthusiasm, but may add
to it, and pandemonium will reign as usual
as favorite candidates are placed in nomination.

surroundings the nominations of Garfield and
Bryan. Garfield attended the convention OF
1880 in Chicago a delegate, and it was
through his speech nominating John Sherman
that he was himself nominated. William
Jennings Bryan, while a delegate to the con-
vention in Chicago in 1896, and as a news
paper man representing the Omaha World
Herald, owned by Gilbert M. Hitchcock, after
ward Senator from that State, won the NOM
ination by his cross of gold and crown Of

Arkansas was permanent chairman Of the

Representative Edgar Howard of Nebraska,

SIllCdSO SOtlVenuOn IN
1912, the manager of
the hall improvised a
four sided sounding
board which came
down to a point di-
rectly above the posi-
ton of the presiding
officer, so that the
speakers voice re-
sounded through a
much greater part of
the hall. This was
noticeable by the quiet,
as in previous conven-
tions the large part of
the audience that was
unable to follow the
proceedings provided
their own amusement,
and the hum and buzz
of conversation at
times interfered with
the proceedings. In
1920 a number Of
young engineers were
brought into the Re-
pu b lican convention
hall and studied the
situation, and their
contribution was in
the form of eight large
horns, made of wood,
about 10 feet in length,
a disk connected with
them being placed di-
rectly in front of the
speaker. The night
preceding the conven-
ton the hall was
thrown open for WIS.,
itors and a concert
provided with the aid
Of a small phonograph.
This system Of am
plihcation made the
music audible in every
section Of the hall and

ff-- HE convention will come to order.
- The sergeant-at-arms will direct
the delegates to take their seats,
and clear the aisles of guests
The chaplain will offer prayer"
These words, spoken by the
chairman of the respective National Commit
tees of the two great parties, Democratic and
Republican, swing into action the presidential
nominating conventions of 1882. Thus as
sembled this year these conventions commence
rate exactly 100 years of political conventions
of the two dominant parties 1t Is a coinci-
dence that after century of conventions the
National conventions of both parties of 1882
are meeting in the same city and, as in 1882,
they convene in the same building. Both
national conventions of 1882 were held in the
Althenaeum Baltimore. Both conventions will
be held this year in the Stadium, with seat
ing capacity of $4,000, in Chicago, the Re-
publicans holding their convention June IA and
the Democrats June 81. So the next President
of the United States will be named in Chicago.
The conventions will sit about three or four
days.
Each convention will have 1,154 delegates
representing the States and Territories The
Territories represented will be Alaska, District
of Columbia Hawaii, Philippine Islands, Porto
Rico Canal Zone and Virgin Isles The dele
gates are apportioned to the States, by the
Democrats, according to the size Of the State
congressional delegation, only the number Of
the delegates Is twice that of the State con-
gressional delegations. The delegates in 1923
were 1,089 for the Republicans and an even
1,10O for the Democrats. Two-thirds of the
Democratic delegation is required to nominate,
while the Republicans require only majority.
IN the Democratic ranks there has been q
general agreement that there win be no
repetition of the New York Convention pro.
ceedings SO far as length Of time Is concerned.
The intention is to expedite the proceedings
and the general impression is, there win be
nomination in a comparatively brief time.
That conventions can be swayed by oratofy

Two. hundred and seventy-four Waterbury Evening school students were recipients of diplomas last night at the commencement excr- cises held in the Wilby auditorium. John J. walsh, president of the board of education, made the pre- aentations while Superintendent of Schools pr Michael c. Donovan de- livered the principal address.
 Antonio Liberatore, Anastasia Mihalloff, Justinas Valaitis and Joseph Fetz were recipients of cash prizes of s2.50 each from the Daughters of the American Revo- lution, the awards being made by Mrs Louis Laun, regent of the Melicent Porter chapter, D. A.. R. These prizes were given for perfect attendance for three years.
 The program and list of grad uates were published in previous issues of the Democrat. pr Dono- vans address follows:
 "One trouble with life in our time is what the sociologists and philosophers call its tempo. You have all seen moving pictures m. what for want. of a betetr term must call three tempos. The first or median tempo is what Is called the tempo of ordinary life. You, see persons moving about just as the camera catches them. The work in their homes, or at their jobs, or on the streets. and pictures seem perfectly natural. The auto. mobile moves along in the crowd at just the right pace for safety.
