REPUBLICAN OBSERVER APCONVENTION SEES McADOO DEMOCRATS 9 CHOICE

STRONGEST MAN DESPITE RIVALS’ CLAIMS-JORDAN forecasts Victory for Party . on Record of Former Secretary. APPRAISES MEN NAMED By DAVID STARR JORDAN. (Copyright, 1920, by International News Service.) SAN FRANCISCO. July 2.—Nomination day. with its general good nature, fulsome praises and undiscriminating enthusiasm was a peculiarly American, function. It determined nothing, for while the speakers orated and the band played, the Three Fates apparently were busy -ftT cross purposes behind the scenes and will have the Inal word. The with a dignity worthy of the task of naming candidates for the presidency of a great nation. In the course of eight hours of continuous performance (11 a. m. to 7 p. m.) this quality gradually waned through commonplace speeches and mechanical outbursts of noise and riot, at first rather funny, then more and more, wearisome eTen at times offensive. As the outbursts intended to boom Palmer and then Cox were planned evidently in advance, and clumsily at that, they probably won no votes and convinced no hearers. The McAdoo racket apparently was more spontaneous, but for the time being, at least, his cohorts still included less than half the delegates. The final explosion which followed the naming of Gov. Smith was plainly a tribute to the silver tongue of Bourke Cockran, his Iri6h backer, who can awaken any emotion he wishes to. carrying of conviction being a wholly incidental matter. Besides, nobody.expects that Smith will be considered at all. compll- . meat may nevertheless help him later on at home. Senator Robert L. Owen was doubly fortunate in drawing first place by courtesy of Arkansas and In having In Mr. DA H. Llnebaugh a proponent with good taste and straightforward accuracy. The senator also is to be congratulated on his statesmanlike record of public service to the nation rather than to the party. WOCLt> RISE IN ESTIMATION. ' In the whitehouse he would rank as nne of the most useful and conscientious of all onr presidents and no other candidate—unless it be Davis—would be so likely to rise in public estimation during the four trying months that will precede the election. Finally Owen, even more than ar McAdoo would.

Mr. Crosby was certain that ln Cummings, a man who had never sought office, all factions could profitably unite. Ambassador Davis was this morning placed in nomination by Gov. Cornwell, West Virginia, in a well considered and J effective speech. He reminded the delegates that a nomination hastily made or under some emotional stress often is followed by repentance. The need of the party is for a standard besrer of large caliber who would grow in the minds of the people, and “endure when the spotlight Is turned off ’ The dramatic presentation of the name of McAdoo, without a nominating speech, has attracted varied comment in the prees.

•THEM WAS DAYS,’ HEARSE AS TAXI Funerals Then W ere Funerals and Everyone Went. Old Ed Rufus has taken his last ride in his own hearse, and somehow we can never feel the same again toward dying, says a writer in the Seattle Post-IntelU-geneer. From the day when, young, guileless and disobedient, we sneaked off to Granduncle Geoffrey's funeral, we’ve always pictured our obsequies with Ed ln charge. We stood in the back of the church that day— we who were supposed to be home—until Ed's eye fell on us and mistaking us so ra mourner instead of an insurgent, he led us up to the pew where mother and father sat f rying to look bereaved —Granduncle Geoffrey left all his money to the heathen i and ushered us in. Not eve a what transpired when we got home served to becloud the vivid impression we got of Ed that day. When we became so old that we were permitted to indulge in the mature pastime of going to funerals, Ed and his personality were stamped more and more indeliby on our consciousness. CORPSE TOOK MINOR ROLE. When Edward Rufus, undertaker and embalmer. had charge of a funeral even the corpse had a minor role. And funerals in those days were funerals. If you knew the folks well you went, of course, to mourn with them If you didn't know them, you went anyway to weep over the vicissitudes of life. Always at the door of the church os the house, Ed would greet you with the face and manner of one no bore up bravely under affliction. And the choked voice with which, at the end of the ceremony, he would say: “Those who wish a last look at the remains will pass up the right- aisle me dowp the left," was enough to move you to tears, whether you itnew the remain* or not.

THEN OVCEK TO RAILROAD lIOCSE. And when the drowsy little cemetery where the robins sang all summer, through, had lifted up its arms for another sleeper, Ed would climb up to the quarter deck of his hearse and drive ever to Bert Miller’s Railroad house, limp and despairing and clean tuckered out from the useful part he had pUyed. He'd stay at Bert's all day. drinking himself into the briny depths of a crylrg Jag, ujid when his last sob had merged itself into a snore, patient Ezra Doremus, his assistant, would pick him up. with Bert’s help, put 11m in the hearse and drive him home. Somehow, now that Ed s gon". we’ll never look forward to our Inevitable demise as complacently as we used to. Thousands Benefit in Metal Wjige Boost COLUMBUS. 0..

SUBWAY SEEN AS GULLET OF GREEDY GIANT Trains Are Only Capsules and Riders Tiny Grains for Ever-Hungry Throat. HOW LITTLE MAN FEELS By FREDERIC J. HA9KIN. NEW YORK, July I.—The subway is a wonderful vehicle of rapid transit, no doubt, but it Is also the most terrible Instrument In the world for impressing on man his own unspeakable and precarious Insignificance. Here Is a long, greedy gullet swallowing with noisy, ill-mannered speed an endless string of closely packed capsules. , These capsules go down this roaring throat of the city Into its troubled vitals, where they disintegrate like quinine capsules ln a human stomach to produ< e various changes. And the subway rider is one tiny grain of the medicine of which there are hundreds of grains ln each of the thousands of capsules that endlessly course down this hard, dry Insatiable throat. If you were lost on the way it would not make the sllghest perceptible difference to this huge organism which Is the city. If the whole capsule of which you are such a tiny part were to go astray it would not make much difference except that the way of other capsules might be temporarily blocked. EVEN .OF LESS CONSEQUENCE. And when your capsule disintegrates and sets you free in the fermenting luRides of the city you are of even less calculable consequence. You are ns one of the bacilli apoong the millions that swarm In the human colon. A drop in a bucket of water, or one grain of salt in a pound, is a thing of

stalely Japanese iri* lords haughtily over the retreat. “The Japanese Iris Is the aristocrat of the garden," said the attorney admiring the beautiful lily like flower. “A most beautiful flower, a regular beauty. ’’ Spaan was cargbt with a hoe In Ms band carefully treating bis "pals” "Vo one i* allowed to work ln thi* garden but myself,” h said "I even haul the fertilizer. Just give the flow--(rs a chance and nature will do til# rest.” He describes the old-fashioned forget-me-not ’as a ‘‘shy little flower” ana <’aims he “thinks the world of the dainty Hiawatha rose.” In ,the center of this garden of a hundred flower the attorney ha* “dropped” a little gold fish pond where hundreds of baby gold fish dart to ajd fro under the illy leaves. The "Snap Dragon” is getting ready to bloom while the wrens, robins and other birds are busy guarding their nests located ln the bushes and trees of the garden. “No wonder you are so happy,”’ the writer said to Mr. Spaan, “when you have a place llk<* this In which to lose yourself. The attorney smiled as he toyed wtrb b:s hoe and the breezos nodded ths haughty head of the Japanese iris In approval.

Individuality and importance by comparison to you. Much has been written about how little a man feels w-hen he is alone In a wilderness such as the Rocky raountnlnc or the Painted desert. This is because the writers usually have gone from the city to the wilds, and therefore have been acutely conscious of their new environment, but not aware of Its ultimate effect. Asa matter <4 fact, if yon stay in the wilds you grow to feel bigger and bigger. Stand on a hilltop and you seem t > tie the very center of th-- universe. You are, for the moment, the entire human race, and everything else falls away from your feet and cringes before you In the perspective of distance. Your individuality expands here Just as Inevitably as It contracts in a city. That is why the visitor to a far corner of the country finds so many “quaint characters.” It is only a way of saying that in a country where there is plenty of room men are not all alike. Each has Mr own point of view, how-

I can look down on the floor now and see a Missouri woman delegate sitting in her seat, with her 10-year-old daughter beside her. They are gazing, entranced, at the demonstration. I see women who have earnest faces and who don’t care a rap for hollow honors. T bey have come here to San Francisco to do something more than wish. I see women marching among the men, with eyes ablaze. They are not Job-seekers, embryo postmasters or customs collectors. They do not hope to make their living from government positions. "It will be all one to them,” as Homer Cummings says, “In their pocketbooks whether they win or lose.

ever crude, and his own habits, however vicious, and dares to wear his own kind of hat. William Boyiney was born on the east side of New York, and if he had stayed there he would have been a common thug and pickpocket, with no fame outside of police records. But he went to the far west and became “Billy the Kid," one of the most famoue killers In the history of American banditry, slaying twenty-one men by the time he was 21 years old. Books and plays have been written about him. He is famous. He was nothing but an east side gunman turned loose in a wilderness where ho had room to expand and to develop his marvelous talent for homicide. In New York personalities run about one to the 100,000 of population, and those few are mostly importations. As you go upward ln what Is commonly called the higher social scale you think you are finding real people, but you soon find that you are mistaken. PERSONALITIES ARE SCARCE. You find a millionaire with a house on Fifth avenue, a place on Long Island, and a yacht. You oav, here is a man who had his way of the city. But he Is only one of hundreds or thousands that have exactly the same things and uses them ln the same ways. He shows no more Individuality or imagination In the way he spends his million than an east-slder does in the way be blows in a dollar at Coney Island on Saturday night. Each of them is only one of a class, operated according to strict rules and regulations. The number of classes or types Is enormous, but the number of Individualities Incredibly small. . One east side Jewess Is so like another that you can hardly tell them apart. So of all the other types. After a little experience you can spot them all on sight. This disease of uniformity Infects deeply even the arts where individuality is supposed to be of the essence of the thing. One musical comedy on Broadway is similar to another, and the plays are almost all of a uniform and similar badness. The movies grind out endless films which are endless repetitions of the same ideas with minor variations. The song writers write songs which are nearly all echoes of each other. The artists paint pretty girls who differ in the color of their hair and eye*, but not in the incredible vacuity of their expressions The magazines manufactured here are of several classes, but those of the same olass contain always in effect the same stories The same hero and the same heroine eternally caper and osculate through their pages. They are as like as the couplea that spoon on the beaches along Riverside drive. It is the city of Inevitable similarity if you don’t fit Into a ready made class, there is no place for you here, and If you do, your movements are as easy and Inevitable as those of a tenpin ball coming back to balkllne There are o few who resist this Incessant friction tending to reduce them all to the same shape and size as pebbles are ground and founded ln a stream. There are a few real writers, a few real artists, and a f°w real personalities in *1! lines But most of them got their growth before they arrived here, nad most of them periodically depart for other regions where there ts more room more of the oxygen of human individuality. THE PROTEST OF THE FEW. Quite a number there Is too, of those who madly react against this demand for u meaningless uniformity. Here, for example, is a man who refuses to wear a hat or a coatv A poor way to assert his personality, but n way none the less. Everv one makes fun of him. The newspapers snaer at him. The human pack turns on him as wolves turn on a bob-tailed wolf. But he defies them and walks bareheaded and coatless down Broadway. And there are other men who wear their hair long, and some who effect strange garbs. There are all sorts of frenks. They represent desperate, almost insane, rebellions ngainst. The grinding of the mighty machine that seeks to turn out all men according to one pattern. You can diagnose the whole disease sitting ln the subway. These folk, you say. are all different. Each of them has his own hopes and fears and purpose*. But. as a matter of fact, each has only the hopes and fears and purposes i • ■ . hi* class. Here Is a man contemplating murder, bu. ue is one of a large class of criminals and not at all lonely or unique. He baa bis friends who are fellow criminals. Look at these faces ln repose. There are two types. There are perfectly blank, vacant faces —the faces of tnen and women who move apathetically ln their little grooves. And there are faces stamped with fear, worry, avarice, and some with placid good nature and animal content. But rare Indeed Is the face marked by conscious Intelligence; rare the observing, considering eye of the man who cont tin plate* and understands life as well 4s Jives It. And what docile herd animals these people are. They are Jammed and /crowded and pushed about. They tread on each other's heels and toes and knock each other's hats askew. But they neither laugh nor curse. They have nothing hut resignation. They are domestic animals being driven to work. And man, mark you. is by his birthright a fierce and proud animal. He 1r the only animal that has killed and tamed every other mammal on earth. He, is a lighting, carnivorous creature. Nothing that walks the earth can master him. -'.in tits own civilization has mastered him. It has made him a docile, as easily driven or led as a sheep or a cow. In his pride of victory over nature he created a giant, the city. And the giant laughed at him and picked him up and swallowed him down its subway. Look at him as he goes slitherin'helplessly down thnt long meaningless gullet, and you see him ln his ultimate degradation.

Ideals and clean enthuslams move them, and its mighty goed to look at them, when you know of the schemes for betterment and preferment in the minds of hundreds of these delegates, women and men. In San Francisco the women have been put on the national committee; in Chicago it was decided that the place of women on the national committee should be practically honorary. In Chicago the women hung around the edges and wished, lu San Francisco they got into the heart of things and fought. Iu Chicago the ladles seemed unhappy and discontented, in San Francisco, the women are aggressive. Woman’s entrance into politics this voir !••-*- issue.

’Frisco Delegates Easy Victims to Wiles of Charming Woman

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2—“ Oh, qfhat a Pal Writ Mary.” That's what the band played when Mrs. Brown of West Virginia rose to second the nomination of Mil Glass, if I mistake not, of Virginia. ’ And every one in the Convention laughed. Mrs. Brown herself, the most merrily of all—and at least 500 delegates rose and cheered her to the echo.

! don’t know where the echo was, buti wherever it had hidden Itself the delegares cheered to it and Mrs. Brown went back to her aeat the Undisputed belle of the convention. Her name Isn’t Mary a? all, it’s Julia, and he Isn’t in the least the sort of woman who would be any kind of pal to any man for long The man would fall in love with her and put an end to palsbip the seconQ time he saw her pin on her veil and adjust a ro*e in the belt which encircled her astonishingly lissom and girlish waist. Mrs, Brown Just naturally took the whole convention as far as men are concerned into the hollow of her two little white bands and carried them off the speaker’s platform with her—to do with a* she liked Even Louisiana and North Carolina and Alabama relaxed for once their stern male vigilance, softened and smiled as men have smiled ever since Eve—whether there was an apple to be had for smiling or not. You’ll observe I said men—l didn’t notice quite so much enthusiasm among the women. “Nice speech," said a womat: delegate. “I'm, us, er—yes,” hesitated the woman member of the executive committee “I didn't quite care for the manner of it. did you?” "Well,” said the woman delegate, “of course she did flirt with them a little." and to tell the truth she really did, and when we found out that Mrs. Brown was once Izettn Jewell, the actress, we understood quite well that she wasn’t Just making a nomination seconding speech, she was playing very charmingly the brand-new part of an exceedingly pretty wnman--ln politics. It really was funny to watch the men while she was talking. They.looked as if they were being fed ripe figs and cream out of a silver spoon by tomebody all dressed In blue and silver—with the moon shining and the roses all ln bloom.

As Bozo Goofy Is Rotten, But as Singer—!! Big Moment Comes for Mugrfs Pal Only to See Him Pitched Out Again. By A. Mt'GO. (Delegate to the National Democratic Conrentlon, per Damon Runyon). (Copyright, 1920. by International News Service). SAN FRANCISCO. July 2—This Goofy Beers, the Nut. is certainly having a very tough time at the democratic convention, what, with this and that, and one thing and another. "Here I am.” Goofy says to me last night. "As strong a bozo for A. Mitchell Palmer as anybody you will ever see," a bozo being Goofy's way of saying a booster, "but," he says, "they hurl me out of my own Pennsylvania delegation because I am always applauding the nomination of some gny, thinking it is A. Mitch. "Well," he says, “I finally 'got this matter squared up and apologize to one and all, and there I am back with my own delegation, ns right as rain, when A. Mitch's name is put up. "Well, then," Goofv says, "what happens ? They start giving a demonsfration In favor of A. Mitch, and I am in there hollering as loud as anybody, and maybe louder, when they start to sing something or other. NATCRAIXY, GOOFY JOINS IN'. "Natural's , ' he says. "I Join in this singing, and right away a big hairywrlsted guy from -Wllkesharre, or some such, stops singing and turns around and says to me like this: “ ‘Cheese,’ he says, ‘cheese.’ Well," Goofy Beers says, "I say to him, “ ‘What do you mean, cheese? Do you mean I am a cheese?’ I say, ‘or what? If you mean I am a cheese, I say, ‘yon are a cheese yourself.’ “ ‘Stop this noise, 1 he says. “ ‘Why,’ I say, ‘I .am not making a noise: I'm singing.' “ ‘Well,' the big guy says, 'this singing we are doing is had enough as it is, but we will not stand for a sucker like you making It worse.’ “Naturally,” Goofy says, “I say something back to him and the first thing I know I do not know anything, what with him putting the slug on me. and all this and that, and then they threw me out of the convention again. "Well, you know,” Goofy says, “I do not claim I am any Caruso, or Eddie Miller, or Sophie Tucker, but what I do say is this: I can outsing any son-of-a-gun I hear in this Pennsylvania delegation yesterday, bar nobody except maybe the dames. "Naturally, dames can sing better than the guys, because they sing soprano, but my voice is a high-class baritone and very loud in places. "Furthermore," Goofy says, “if I want to sing on account of A. Mitch being put in nomination I figure I am entitled to do so, and the way I look at it. if I do not sing for him now, I may not have any reason to sing for him later on. GOOFY HAS HIS OWN OPINION. "I don't' want it to go any farther," Goofy says, “but between you and me the singing at the convention is so far pretty rotten, and," he says, "the worst singing is done by the New York guys, especially when they sing ‘Sweet Rosie O'Grady’ and the ‘Sidewalks of New York.’ "Such songs," he says, “are for close harmony, with barber shop chords In here and there, and are not,’’ Goofy says/ "for a lnrge hall." "Well, of course there is much In what Goofy Beers says, at that, even if he Is an Idiot, because I know many guys myself around New York who used to be singers, but who now can not sing any more than a Jack rabbit, “Well," I say to Goofy Beers, “you certainly have a great time getting yourself thrown out of this convention.” "Yes,” Goofy says, “but I am thrown out of much better places than this convention in my time, at that."
