House was nominated, there was a seven-day guessing contest by the inhabitants of the Windy city as to just why it was that during ohe afternoon of the con- vention period the c¢itizens of Michigan ayenue were treated to the spectacle of seeing the fire chief’s automoblile dashing -medly down the boulevard and that no fire engines followed and that no alarm turned in. For the first time the story is told. It appears that the committee on platform, consisting of Senators Watson, Smoot, Lodge and Borah, were busily drafting the repub- lican platform in their rooms at the Congress Hall Hotel. Drawing up & party platform is no easy matter, and the senators engaged on the work had been laboring for hours on the docu- ment when call after call camé from the floor managers that the conven- tion was becoming impatient. Some brilliant mind conceived the idea that in order to expedite matters the chief of the fire department be uppealed to and asked to place one of his fast autos at the diaposal of the committee, 80 that when the document was com- pleted the senators could rush the document to the Coliseum. ‘When the important paper was final- ly completed, typed and assembled, the committee grabbed their respective hats, dashed down to the street and into the waiting automobile.

Gov. Hardwick's Defeat. S8core another for Mr. Wilson. While he did not figure in the gubernatorial primary in Georgia as prominently as previously he had done in the sena- torial prijnary in Missouri and that in Mississippi, the defeat of Gov. Hard- wick was yet probably welcome news to him. For while in the Senate the Georgian was quite as “williful” as either the Missourian or the Mississip- pian, and incurred Mr. Wilson's dis- pléasure quite as emphatically. Tt was Mr. Wilson's influence that cost | mutual goal of all eivilized p,ome,_hrouny by taking the job of governor Mr. Hardwick re-election to the Sen-| ate. This primary result in Georgia may disarrange some <alculations as to 1924 in that state.

Editors generally suggest that La Follette's war votes were satisfactory to his state, while his general radicalism is his source of strength there, the Mis- sippi is again more conservative in its views. There are also some editors who argue that La Follette’s triumph constitutes another rejection of the Harding policies by the Voters. Not alone is the outcome a “triumph for La Follette” but, ac- cording to the Baltimore Sun (inde- pendent democratic), for “those who It is a good and fit time to say that g realize the need of remedying the in- the salarles of all federal judges|tolerable conditions now sponsored should be raised.

Away back in 1857 the children in the Sunday schools of the denomi- nation in Massachusetts were in- spired with the idea of helping the wild, almost trackless Oregon coun- t ry.
