No One Spared

InB uepartmenb eXbeuoH us eln- cere and hearty congratulations to Senator Kramer on losing Iloth- ing but his "license, passes, and membership cards" Tn the ciy- cunlstances and in view of the company in which he placed hiiii- self and for which he must hold himself responsible, he Is in luck the bed was not stolen from uil- der him and he was left to sleep on his wallet. After all he was Q bona-fide delegate and must have expected to be exposed to Q cers tain amount of jeopardy as such. But what about Alternate John Dispersio Of Meriden who, accord- ing to Good old Bill, was knocked off for two hundred bucksl What about the woman delegate from Massachusetts whose room was entered, again quoting Good Old Bill, and Q shower bath takenl It Is sinful enough to rob Q reg- ular delegate but to pick on an Al- ternate who never did anything more wrong in his life than to be an alternate to Q Republican Na- tional Convention, iS the lowest form of thievery. Lower even than to steal e shower bath from Q Massachusetts woman delegate who should have known better than to bring Q shower bath ell the way from the East. Good old Bill did not specify, on account of tho wire tolls, whether the theft from the Massachusetts delegates room was Q shower bath proper or the spray which makes 1t possible. l can sec how the spray could be pinched but I cannot understand how . shower bath proper could be taken out of 6 room without dripping all over the hotel corridors and slop. ping over the lobby. Perhaps the thief used Q hot water bottle. We will have to wait further dispatch- es from Good Old Bill, who not only is hep to what goes on in the Connecticut delegation but even knows when . MassAchus sets woman delegate misses . shower bath. N,Is.n
 Impossible
 I do not wish to give the i'm. precision that Good Old Bill could not be mistaken or the victim of Q bum steer, when he gives the impression that 1t is<not the Re- publican National Convention which he Is attending but the in- ternational association mentioned in the opening paragraph. It could Do the Republican National Convention. Tho party has been picking tho nations pockets 50 long tho habit has become in. grained. The last three years Re. publican pickings have been re. duced to nothing but the habit remained. What more natural then than having nothing else to pick the delegates should 70 after each others pockets? However, all Good old Bill's accounts Of unbridled thievery may Do only his artless foolery. I don't think any of the things he wired could have happened because I saw sornewhore in the newspapers that Good old I'd Hickey, Hartford County detective, ig an assistant serReant-atsariits ct the convens ton and that Good old Hugh Al" corn, States Attorney for Hart- ford County, is attending aA . delegate. If that Is true then Good old Bill has been taking up the garden for c ramble on the pickpocket stuff. There Is not . dip, ke-pincher or shower bath snitcher alive clever enough to avoid Good old I'd and when caught to escape prosecution by Good old Hugh. If any such didoes have been going on, as Good old Bill pApe reports. you may rest assured thet Good Old Nd Hickey has caught the wrongs doers and that Good old Hugh Aicorn has them headed for tho yawning hocsegow. If I were A betting man I would be willing to wager that Good old Nd and Good old Hugh are just waiting for the appearance with the handcutfs of sheriff Seymour of Hartford County whose campaign against Good Old Id Hickey succeeded because of the Seymour inspired siogafa aYOu catch 'eln, Ed. I'll keep 'em!" do hope however, that uood old I'd won't make Q mistake and put the cuffs on 0cod old Bill. The latter's services, as accurate observer and operator of a giazard courageous must not Dc 1s. S~n-..e.AnA aR Al4mum TYvaekmN Okataa
