e. 0. P. OUT TO SAVE COUNTRY; ‘HO, HUM! YES?' Bands Play, Speakers Talk; Delegates Guess, Maybe, j Probably Not. 1 BY COURTENAY TERRETT CONVENTION HALL, KANSAS CITY, June 14.—The band concluded wtih a brassy flourish. The man with the big bull horn gratefully unwound the instrument from around his neck. The delegate from Ohio who wears a rhinestone American flag in his lapel confided to the colleague (Who needs a hair cut, “that’s pretty.” “Yeah,” replied the seat mate. “I was talking to my wife by long distance a while ago and she said they had a nice rain there last flight.” “That won’t hurt the corn any." Two sections to their right a woman with a Michigan badge pinned to her blue crepe de chene bosom and the unpowdered face of a president of civic betterment league, fanned herself energetically. There’s No Telling “Well, there’s Ambassador Houghton,” she said. “I suppose so,” said the listless Wholesale druggist at her side. “And young T. R.—no, I guess not.” Up on the platform a man with a stiff black roach of hair was speaking. One of the phrases was “Republican precepts and Republican ideals.” In the front rank of the California delegation an old man with a white beard leaned across his neighbor to ask, “Get your reservations yet?” A gray-haired page wearing an orange Hoover ribbon informed the Western Union runner that Mrs. Willebrandt looked tired. "Yes,” replied the employe, “and Mellon can’t hardly keep his eyes open.” “Guess some of ’em don’t get a fchance to do much sleepin’ nights.” "I guess that’s so.” The speaker with the scrubbing brush hair cut ended. “The Republican party makes the Nation’s laws and the Republican party must therefore uphold them,” he said. Approximately 400 pairs of hands came together three times. The band started a six-year-old waltz. “My wife,” said the North Carolinan with the white wash tie, “thinks that’s the prettiest tune they is.” It May Be A woman alternate from Tennessee in a dress of foliaceous silk got up abruptly, dropped her handbag, picked it up and walked out to the lemonade stand. Another speaker, a man with a bricky face and a light colored suit which drew tightly over his concave back, stepped up to the microphones and the band stopped. A Montana coal and lumber dealer talked across the aisle to a dentist from Connecticut. “I guess Hilles will have to resign as New York committeeman, won’t he?” “Looks that way,” said the dentist. "Who’s speaking now'?” asked a reporter in row 28 of the north press section. “I don’t know —some congressman or something,” said the girl feature writer in the tan sports ensemble. A plus-soured photographer elbowed a middle aged woman who wanted Will Rogers’ autograph out of the aisle to get at the camera and plate box he had stowed under a seat when he went out for a drink. “We want to stand four square with our hearts and our consciences,” declaimed the man at the microphones. Hear! Hear! Through the window's came, in reduced force, the defiant tootings ftf a fanners’ band. The speaker who wanted to stand four square with his heart and his conscience stepped dowr.. Another followed him, one who wants the Republican party to reiterate the glorious ideals for which, it had fought for seventy years. • “Well,” said the Ohio delegate with the rhinestone flag in his lapel, “there isn’t an awful lot of excitement to this convention is there?” The lady from Michigan (Civic Betterment League) informed her seat mate that her youngest daughter was going to have a baby In August. “The Republican party, the party of dominance and power, will triumph once more,” shouted the sp6^k6r< Distantly, a factory whistle tooted.
