NEW YORK, July 5—A candidate has been named who would unite the Democratic party. On seventy-seven roll calls he has received two votes. When his name was first mentioned pointed out by their followers. Will Rogers is not a second Lincoln, but certainly he approximates the type more nearly than any other man now under consideration by the conven- tion. He would represent an attempt to solve national problems by the very simple process of an_application of native shrewdness. He is the sub- limation of Main street.

Walker. Col | Kept Flax Waving. Serenely, gently, with no emotion, she kept her flag waving like the visible expression of the almost audi- ble purring of some great, subcon- sclous, comfortable cat smiling through her aura. All day she sat there, unruffled, without spécial en- thusiasm, while a great faith flowed through her in the goodness of. Mc- Adoo and the inflexible purpose of God to nominate him. When the band played she waved the flag in chaste accompaniment to the jazzy tunes, which left her innocent of their implications. She was the Sun- doy school superintendent beating time to the ‘gospel hymns. She and her kind sitting in the convention, Whether personaily or as the mothers of the women who sit there, reaching out and enveloping all the woman delegates, compose perhaps a ffth of the convention. To them the cause of McAdoo representd all that the urbanites jeer at when they hoot at mother, home and heaven. The men might ‘have compromised or com- bined and so eliminated McAdoo long ago, but this gentle, fafthful, plain woman knows nothing of compro- mised and combinations. She knows only that she’s the Lord’s anointed in a holy cayse and so she sits and waves her banner, nudges the nap- ping lady next to her to see that the other flags are waving, and so waits for her eyes to see the glory of the coming of the Lord.

It may be obectjed that Will Rogers is merely a funny man. No one who knows him thinks that, and he is known to millions. His point of view of political issues is national. It has been his practice for a good many years to follow news, national and international, as reported in American papers ail over the country. He is pretty nearly the best in- formed man in the convention. 1 resent the notion which mini- mizes the seriousness of the satirist and exalts the platitudinist. There are delegates who think that William Jennings Bryan must be saying some- -thing important merely because he employs gestures and a rolling voice Rogers talks more substantial com- mon .sense between any two rope CONVENTION SIDELIGH TS NEW YORK, July 5.—Convention nerves are getting raw. Delegates are ready to do battle on the slightest provocation. The doorkeepers and sergeants-at-arms are getting rattled. Tempers are getting shorter and shorter. An usher fold a woman alternate to please take her seat. She nearly took the seat and beaned him with it. She wanted him to understand she had a perfect right to stand or sit as she pleased on that floor and she earnestly, and with flashing eyes, entreated him to tome in and try and make her take her seat. He withdrew. Other such in- cidents are numerous. They say that in one delegation nbt a single dele- gate is on speaking terms with any of his colleagues, and they say also that & well known governor and dele- gate is wearing a black eye pre- sented to him by one of his henchmen. ““Sunny” Jim Preston, superintend- Senate press lery ard in charge of ress section at the convention, spends the greater part of his time explaining to hundreds of persons that they cannot—they simply cannot—get into the press sec- tion unless they have been assigned seats there as working newspaper men or women. Jim has about reached the conclu- sion that there is no balm in Gilead and that if the convention adjourns in time for the fall tournament of the Washington Newspaper Golf As- sociation it will have done well. One of the delegates from Nebraska today recelved the following expres- sive telegram: » “You'd better hurry home. The corn is getting weedy.
