DEMOCRATS ARE SUPPORTERS OF PRIMARIES NOW Conventions All Wrong, Delegates at New York Feel. By LOWELL MELLETT Times Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 9.—ls the Democratic platform were yet to be written, here's one plank it probably would contain: "We favor the nomination of candidates fcr President and Vice President by direct primary. We regard thfc convention system as r.ot onlj anticuated and out of keeping with the modern tendency to ward increased democratization of pc.litics. but inefficient and decidedly inhumane.'’ Nominating by national convention is a hopelessly bunglesome business. Ask any of the dead delegates, who for two weeks h tve tried to pick a presidential candidate under the intensified rays of the sun, that beat down on the glass roof of Madison Square Garden. \ The present system doesn’t have any of the elements of efficiency in it, they all agree. Especially so Jong as it requires a two-thirds vote to make ary man the nominee. The past two weeks have been devoted chiefly not to nominating a candidate but to preventing any candidate from being nominated. As a defective institution the Democratic convention could scarcely be improved on. As -an institution R>r obtaining positive results it leaves just about everything to be desired. A great deal of discussion has taken place since the became deadlocked of proposals looking toward the substitution of direct primary nominations for convention nominations. These measures now before Congress with such a reform in view' are certain to have many more friends in the next session of Congress than they’ve ever had before.

A l Jolson Is Feelin ’So Bad That His Kisser Won’t Kiss, Supper Won’t Sup

By WALTER D. HICKMAN A r ~~~ N awful shape is our A1 Jolscn in. , His supper won’t sfip. His kisser won’t kiss and his dinner won’t din. Oh, he is in some turrible shape. He admits his condition in his new Brunswick record., "Feeling the Way I Do.” It is all because A1 admits in melody that he is in love. He admits to his lady fair that he can’t go through life weepin’ his whole life through. The reason for Al's condition is that his sweetie in melody has gone away. This little tune is done in Jolson’s best style. And how this man registers on the Brunswick. On the other side of this record Jolson sings “Never Again/* meaning that he is never going to be blue again. Jolson admits that he was so blue for a time that one day he laid down on the railroad track to meet his Fate. But, ha, ha, the train was two weeks late. Both of these numbers are really

of Folly"

ALL her life, Nell Colson had longed • for the “good times,” the pretty clothes, the gay companions that she saw other girls have. The careful restrictions of her home life irked her sorely. To escape even for an hour from her narrow, commonplace, uneventful existenceseemed worth almost any price. Like thousands of others who thipk that excitement, adventure, gay times are the only worth while things in life, she could not possibly foresee where the first seemingly harmless misstep might lead. In her innocence and ignorance of men and of life, she did not dream that the first stolen ride with Arch Stafford was to brand her, in the eyes of others, with guilt She could not know that her foolish escapade on that day was to mark the beginning of a perilous career that would take her far from home and

“She Kept Faith” —Should a woman blast her own reputation and ruin her own life to save a married woman friend from “discovery”and ruin? When,as girls, Marjorie promised Flora she would “do anything on earth” for her friend, as long as she lived, she little realized what a terrible test her loyalty was to undergo. She did not know that even an “appearance” of wrong may carry a penalty

as severe as actual sin—that the world judges and condemns by what it sees and hears, caring little to discover the actual truth.

Straight from the Heart of a True Story Reader I have long hoped to find in literature a combination of the seamy side of life and the kindness that may be found in every human heart. I have found rny desire in' True Story." Sometimes we are so burdened with carea that we fail to realise that others carry loads far more irksome than oura. To illustrate, I wll’l quote a fablai “Thera once lived a god called the God of Trouble, bocauaa It was to him that all want with their sorrows. For a long tlmeheliad listened patiently to their murmuring. One day ha celled them together and told them that each might throw his burden aside for that day. The burdens ware cast aside,and a great heap win formed whlehwascalled'The Mountain of Sorrow.’ The people frolicked with Joy all daylong. When evening came, the god called them together and,told them that each mast take a burden,not necessarily the ooehehad placed there but any one he desired. “After gartug upon the collection of human troubles,each noted the extent of the burden of the othSrs and from euch observation realised thatmll havetheir troubles arid after consideration ouch decided that his burden was not as bad as it appeared before viewing the treubleaof others So each was satisfied,and willingly picked up and carried off the burdan* he had placed on the heap in the morning."
