wholesome food would be wonder
full present for this family.
Give Food or Fuel
There are many ways of being
Good Fellows in helping these
destitute families enjoy Christmas
this year.
You may give a basket for a
Christmas dinner, or shoes for
childran who truly need them.
You may give clothes to some one
who needs them badly. You may
present a doll to some little girl
whose parents cannot afford to
buy her one because the little
money they earn is barely enough
to keep them from starving. Or
you may wish to rig up a little
Christmas tree and a few toys for
some family with little children.
You may send wood or coal to
\ needy family-a bushel or a
half-ton of coal. Any amount of
fuel would be appreciated by so
many of these poor folk who write
that they have lived in unheated
homes since winter began.
Last year, with cash donations
that were sent in, more than 20
half-tons of coal were purchased
and sent to families who were
completely out of fuel. Other cash
donations, except those designated
for certain families, were used to
buy shoes and baskets of food.
The same kind deeds will be re-
peated this Christmas if you join
the Good Fellows.

CLEVELAND HALL
NEARLY READY
Army of Workers Speeds
Preparation for Receiv-
ing Delegates.
Bv the ASsocis tee Press.


CLEVELAND, June Still haunt
ed by memories of a dozen years ago,
when Calvin Coolidge was swept to a
presidential nomination by acclama-
ton, Cleveland's auditorium was near
ly ready today to renew its function
as the launching place for a Repub-
lican presidential ticket
Whether it was to witness another
first ballot nomination such as was
accorded Coolidge, or a repetition in
miniature of the 1920 struggle at Chi
cago, was of no concern to an army
of workers busily installing all the
vast mechanism of wires, lights, cam
era stands. radio booths and the like
that are the modern trappings of
political rallies. Their business was
to have 1t all ready when the conven-
ton opens on Tuesday.
w. p. A. Emblem Flaunted.
AS contributed symbol of some
of the problems involved for the dele
gates, a huge red, white and blue
Works Progress administration label
was flaunted from the rail of the gal
lery. That Is the made-work relief
emblem of the Roosevelt New Deal at
Washington at which Republican guns
will be trained from the hour National
Chairman Fletcher's banging gavel
opens proceedings. The w. P. A. EN-
blem will have disappeared by then,
replaced by the decorations for the

The arrangement of the hall diff
fers materially from the 1924 model.
1t Is a long hall, with high arched
roof and banks of gallery seats pitch
ing steeply up all around except at
one end. where normally the stage
takes up the whole width.
Platform Well Forward.
For convention purposes, the plat
form has been set well forward. II

level. But it is of novel form, scarcely
as large as the squared circle of a
prize ring. From the center in front
speakers bridge protrudes. Sur
rounding three sides of that bridge
and the platform are the massed rows
OF press seats, set at a lower level
only a step above the floor proper.
The largest press representation In
political convention history has been
provided for, some 700, as compared
to the 1908 delegates.
Behind the platform stretches the

them similarly arranged and identi-
fed, are seats for the same number
OF alternates. They take up almost all
the floor space, except for a few rows
far at the back, leaving spectators al
most entirely to the galleries. which
will yield the best view of the pro-
ceedings anyhow.

Program.
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND. June 6.-Former
President Herbert Hoover was ofh-
cially awarded his spot on the Repuo-
lican National Convention program to-
day-Wednesday night shortly after
o'clock, Eastern standard time.
Immediately following the Hoover
talk, the Platform Committee was
scheduled to bring in its report.
Nomination speeches were scheduled
to start shortly after IL am. Thurs
Gay, with the balloting to begin as
soon as they are completed.
These plans were shown in the pub
lished order of business for the con-
vention. made public at National Com
mittee headquarters. A place for the
Hoover speech was the only variation
from the customary program.
Fletcher to Call Session.
Henry P Fletcher national chair
man, was down to call the convention

voted to the temporary chairman S

Oregon will be the speaker.
Credentials on Wednesday.
The convention will assemble We'd
nesday morning to hear and act on
the reports of Credentials, Rules and
Permanent Organization Committees.
The morning session will end with a
talk by the permanent chairman. Rep
resentative Smell of New York has been
picked by many Republican leaders
for that position.
Whether the convention will end
Thursday depends on the length of the
fights for both presidential and vice
presidential nominations. Several
speeches and much band-playing and
marching usually accompanies each
nomination.
The appointment of committees to
notify the nominees is the only busi-
ness to follow the nominations.
