0ekuoCEAblC COnVeuClOu DO $2.60, and take Q look at the Mine Workers.
 That space cost John Lewis miners 9B,0OO of haTd-earned dues.
 On another page is Che ad-
 vertiBelnent of United States Steel, bitter anti-unl0n COm- pany, whose workers yehn Lewis is helping Co uniOnlze. The steel company matched tho miners. xts ad also cost gSy0oo -ehough ltg executives hate Roosevelt.
 Only advertisers to top the miners in the Convention book are the biz liquor companies: Frank fort Disstillers, e17,600: gchenley, 97,6OO; Associated American Dis- tlllers, oiO,OOO. Also the Chrysler Motor company, 97,6O0, where, too, John |. Lewis has been en- couraging union organization.
 WHEN LABOR PUTS OUT MONEY ON THE SAME SCALE AS THESE BOYS, TT MEANS BUSINESS.
 High, Pressure Selling
 Jim Farley must have had some high pressure salesFncn at work on his Convention book. He sold 6 total of $302,66O in advertising.
 The republicans also sold ad- vertlsing in their book, but judging from the list of biz
 business contributions Hooking to the z. o. ?. campaign chest, the selling was easier.
 The democrats are really pIck- ing up the pennies this year. Af- ter Jim Farley had sold all the advertising he could, he sent his salesEnen out to sell copies of the book to the same firms which had bought advertising. There were no free copies. From this he gar- liered $33,7S4 even before the Convention started.
 Some of them kicked In Q big way. BILL WRIGLEY of chewing gum fame paid $2,6OO for 1000 books, though he did not advertise In it. The Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau also bought S2,5OO worth of books.
 The Herilihy Mid- Continent company of Chicago paid Sl,260 for books, also spent @4,000 on advertising. John L. Lewis Mine Workers paid an additional 4l,260 for books. John F. Mcclure of Baltimore and the Inland Steel company of Chicago stocked their libraries with 400 books each, while various other concerns, chiefly distillers and brewers, paid heavily for Convention literature.
 NOTE-One company which took 8 double-spread in the Re- publican convention book is con- spicuouSly absent in the demo- cratic book. IT IS HENRY FORD WHOSE CARS FOR MANY MONTHS WE'RE BOYCOTTED BY THE NEW DEAL BECAUSE OF HIS REFUSAL TO ACCEPT NE2A.
 Snowman Bowling
 Bobbing on and off the Con. vention floor is dapper Eddie Dowi- ing, chief snowman of this me- ragerie. Eddie is an old hand at tho game. His Job is to make the delegates forget that one of Jim Farley's main objectlveg is to make the Philadelphia circus last five days. : Eddie got good practise at Chi- cago four years ago. His big mos Tnent came when Roosevelt still lacked Q two-thirds majority and an inside deal was under way with Jack Garner. Two or three hours were necessary to complete the deal, and during that time 1t was imperative that Al Smith forces have no access to the main body of delegates to steal them from Roosevelt.
 Suddenly JIln Farley stepped up t0 the late Senator Tom Walsh of Montana, permanent chairman.
 "TOm," he said, "you can't let 'em adjourn until you gaA the word from me. Two or three
 hours anyway. Eddie here Is going to take over and keep 'em happy"
 It was then 2 ?. m. And from then until 5 ?. Tn., Bowling put on . continuous stream of big theatrical stars and assorted vaudeville. Finally Senator Walsh, grlm-lipped and dour tapped Eddie on the shoulder.
 "YUung man." he said, "that's very good. Now we'll get back to the business of politics."
 THE DEAL WHICH NOMrN. ATED ROOSEVELT HAD BEEN Gone, Not Forgotten
 Look over the party inoguls clustered on the platform here today. Four years have made Q lot of changes in democracy. Some of the old figures who domin- ated conventions for years are missing.
 Many are dead, some have "taken . walk" some are on the sidelines, silent, inactive.
 Death has brought tho great est losses. It has taken TOM WALSH, shaggy-eyebrowed liber- al of Teapot Dome fame, a great figure at every convention. Also HENRY q. RATNEY and JOE BXRNS, both speakers of the House.
