 Washington - Political conven. tons have as their primary busi- ness the nomination of presiden- tial candidates and as their secon- dary business the framing of a platform.
 But there are always q lot of motions and clownish antics to be gone through which drag Q con. yention out two or three days longer than seems vitally neces- sary. You must remember that one function of q convention Is that of ballyhoo festival with which the party attracts the at tention of the country.
 Few delegates would care to ar- rive and turn around toward home almost immediately. Nor would the local hotel men and others who have put up good money stand for convention of only one of two days
 SITUATIONS IN CONTRAST.
 This year. the republicans prob- ably will have trouble stretching out their show, whereas the dem- ocrats, with q flock of candidates real and so-called---have taken special measures to keep their condensed within four days if possible.
 The principal variation from routine convention procedure VIII be the meeting of the democratic platform committee just prior to tho convention itself, Q device to save time.
 THE WAY THEY WORK.
 otherwise the procedure of tho two conventions is about the same. They adopt the rules of the House of Representative to work with, plus certain traditional deviations which include the tw0-thirds and units rules in the case of demo- crats.
 A convention is first called to order by the chairman of the party's national committee. Each session, after the call, Is launched bly n praper. That touch of piety Is always impressive, if only by contrast. remember that at Madison Square Garden in 1924 the democrats rotated Protestant clcrgymen, priests and rabbis un- tile they had used about all there were in New York. And the con- vcntion was in the throes of the bitterest, meanest religious ngnt ever sen at Q national political meeting.
 After q short speech by the na- tional chairman and the reading of the call for the convention the first adjournment Is taken.
 FIRST CHANGE FOR FIGHT.
 At the following session q reso- lution is passed to adopt the House rules and the rules of the last convention. Then q list of temporary officers is read for the convention's approval and 1t is al- ways possible for someone to rise then and precipitate 6 fight over who is to be temporary chairman and keynoter, as William Jennings Bryan rose against Alton E. Park ir in 1912.
 If that doesn't happen the tenn porary chairman is brought to the chair forthwith and usually de- flyers an address of welcome.
 Because of the radio audience, the keynote speeches. which used to be delivered in the afternoon, undoubtedly will be made at night.
 Keynote speeches are mighty inspirational efforts in which one party is positively Identified with the hosts of heaven and the other painted as the forces of darkness and the great enemies of the poor. They are supposed to rouse free quent outbursts of pandemonium.

THE OLD TIMERS KNEW

pOLITICS change and followers of poll
1 tics change with them.
The paraphrase on Tennyson is
prompted by reading of an incident
which happened so years ago in San Di-
ego, when Republicans of that city fired
a salute of the 100 guns to celebrate the
party's victory in the North Carolina
election.
In those days citizens took their poll
tics seriously. 1t is quite the fashion
now to scott at their torch parades, the
fancy marching clubs and other means
by which our grandfathers expressed
their support and enthusiasm for their
particular candidates.
Behind the parades and the marching
clubs there was a deep understanding of
political questions, both local and ma
tional. The latter indeed was the favor
lite and the average citizen could discuss
and argue with intelligence on questions
of moment concerning the country.
They read their papers thoroughly and
every bit of political literature was stu
died carefully. 1t may be pointed out
that this was in reality a diversion, for
they had more leisure time than we have
and less means of amusement.
Whatever the reason, the fact remains
lHdt luey were OelleI OH pOIIIl-
cal matters than we of this period Even
with our better means of disseminating
political doctrines the average citizen of
today is far less informed on national
topics than his forebears were.
Most of our political discussions in
the presidential campaign, for instance,
are confined to personalities and to gen.
eralities. True it is personal following
was rampant in the earlier days also, but
hand in hand with it went a fund of in
formation acquired through study and
reading.
Today the average citizen is too in
different to take the time to read po-
litical pamphlet There are many who
will tune in on their radios when some
person of national Importance is to de-
liver a political speech, but it is a safe
assertion that there are even more who
will seek some other station when the
political address is being made. They
don't want to be bothered with politics.
There are too many of us who don't
want to be bothered with political
speeches, with registering and with vot
ing Then we wonder why we are both
cred with inefficient and corrupt public
officials, unenforceable laws and laws

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CHRISTMAS TREE

Uncle Wiggily was falling dowr
very fast in his clothes basket air
ship, the balloons of which had beer
punctured by some cute, but mis-
chievous little robin birds. With
out the balloons to hold up the
rabbit gentleman's airship it started
to fall and he fell with it.
But that wasn't the worst. Fol
rs he was falling he saw another
flock OF birds flying toward him
and he thought they were going to
stick their beaks in more of the
balloons so he would fall faster
and harder. He was hoping he
might fall into an evergreen, or
Christmas tree, as the soft branches
of that would make it easier for
him.
But one never knows what will
happen" said Uncle Wiggily as he
watched the flock of birds flying
toward his falling airship. Il may
even turn upside down like a
pancake"
But nothing like that happened.
And, before the rabbit gentleman
was so near to the earth that he
was in danger of being bumped all
