Chicago Deserves Title.

Washington won a derisively
applied reputation as the "City
of Magnificent Distances" many
years ago-when most of its strue-
lures were few and far between.
Chicago should have the title
now as the city Of most magnifi-
cent distances" a title that will
not be disputed by any newspaper
reporter covering the national
convention.
The distances relate not only
to how far one must travel be-
tween the hotels where different
meetings are underway, but within
the hotels themselves. It some-
times requires a wait of twenty
minutes to get on an elevator,
to go from one floor to another.
At some hours of the day the
crowd waiting behind ropes for
the "up" elevators at the Conrad
Hilton looks like a holiday jam
at Union Station, though not as
good natured.
