Saturday, newspaper men first on the
scene were scurrying around inter-

scarcely any one else to talk to,
hotel Hobbies we're like deserted villages.
Then came the dawn-overnight the
city woke up-incoming trains from
all parts of the country brought in
the delegates and their encourages,
with bands. marching clubs, banners
and flags, signs and cheering squads.
The heavy lounging furniture in
the hotel Hobbies was moved out and
rugs rolled up and carried away to
make foot space for the milling throng.
With pretty girls wearing 5-gallon
Texas sombreros, all sorts of freak
convention souvenirs and stunts to
attract attention to various delega-
tons. general mardi gras spirit
swept the hotel districts. The trek
from hotel to hotel began and the
whole United States and insular pos

Democratic souls with but the single
thought-to nominate Roosevelt and

possible while doing it.

the House and Senate, and the right
to vote for President and Vice Presi-
dent, without depriving the Federal
Government of control over the Ma
tional Capital
The District delegation probably will
support the move to have this conven-
ton get rid of the two-thirds rule
which has been applied to the NOM
ination Of the party's national ticket
for more than a century.
Secretary of Commerce Daniel c..
Roper is expected to be the choice of
the Washington delegation for mem
bership on the important Resolutions
Committee, which will draft the party
platform. AS member of the Pres
idents cabinet, he appeared to be the
logical choice for the platform build
ing assignment.
COlpoyS to Be Chairman.
United States Marshal John B. Col
poys, chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee in Washing
ton, is slated to be named chairman Of
the local delegation. Colpoys. who be-
gan attending Democratic National
Conventions in Baltimore in 1912, was
one of the first Washingtonians to ar
rive for this gathering, which will be
a veritable party love feast compared
to the memorable battle at Baltimore,
which finally resulted in the nomina-
ton of Woodrow Wilson over Champ
Clark.
At its caucus this evening the Dis
trict delegation also will assign men,
bers to the Convention Committees on
Organization. Rules and Credentials.
In addition it will name the District
of Colunbias honorary vice chairman
and honorary vice secretary OF the
convention.
AS in former years, the District del
egation will operate under the unit
rule, which means that Washington's
six votes in the convention will all be
cast in accordance with the decision
of majority. Four years ago the unit
rule was made major issue on the
floor of the convention at Chicago be-
cause some Of the delegates wanted to
cast their individual votes for differ
ent presidential candidates. This
year, however, the local delegation has
been described by Chairman Colpoys
as being united for the denomination
of Roosevelt, so that the unit rule is
not expected to cause an' difficulty.

The arrival yesterday attracting
most attention on registering was J.
Donkey Delegate from Hudson Falls,
N. Y. He was accompanied by Wini-
field A. Huppuch. former New York
State Democratic chairman-years ago
when Gov. Dix was elected, the first
time Democrat was elected in 19
years. This is his thirtieth year on
the State Committee, so he long ante
dates the Jim" Farley regime. He
was the only delegate from the
twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth and
twenty-ninth New York districts to
vote for Roosevelt at the Chicago
convention and he voted for him on
every ballot. They told him then that
If Roosevelt was elected 1t would be
his last convention. So he came here
with bells on-and brought the donkey
along to help celebrate. He confessed
that the donkey's real name Is Encore,
but he is officially registered as -.
Donkey Delegate" and is tethered in
the main lobby.

occurred when Mrs. Katherine de
Reeder was feeding him sugar and
he began to nible on her index finger.

All the big hats, from 3-gallon

Texas headquarters, right next door
to the Democratic National Committee
headquarters 1t is one of the most
beautiful rooms in the convention
layout and dedicated to Vice Presi-
dent Garner. The color scheme is
a delicate green, relieve by beautiful
bouquets of pink roses and delphinium
and by gaudy Mexican style and
Aztec design posters enticing the dele
gates to attend the Texas Centennial.
This headquarters is in charge of Miss
Amelia Mallory of Austin, working for
the Democratic Committee in Texas.
She is assisted by Miss Faith Hurst
out of Washington headquarters. Miss
Mallory left for Washington last night
to meet the Texas delegation aboard
their special train and distribute to
them their reservations at the con-
vention. She will return today on
the Texas Special.

The cast of characters on the Dem.
ocratic stage has undergone consid-
cradle change since the party's last
convention, largely because some OF
the former party leaders have taken
issue with the New Deal policies of
the past four years.
Four years ago, at Chicago, one Of
the earliest arrivals was Jouett Shouse,
then an active figure in Democratic
councils, who had helped direct the
campaign of Al Smith in 1923. Satur-
day, Shouse was on a train bound
from Washington to New York, but
he told newspapermen he was not
stopping in Philadelphia. Shouse is
now one of the active leaders in the
Liberty League, vigorous opponent of
New Deal doctrines.

A M1DDLE-oF-THE-RoAD attitude
= is always safest to take when
dealing with humanity in any stage Of
growth. A dash of tolerance, a hand
full Of patience tempers the natural tr-
ritation that drives parents into ex-
tremes. A sane understanding Of the
ways Of children checks extravaganza
demonstrations Of affection and pride.
Somehow many parents seem to go to
extremes. One group is worried to
death and think their children are
bound for the gallows. The other
group beams with pride at their every
action and can see no fault in them.
Either extreme Is bad for the children.
Those who worry nag their children.
