Al Smith of New York, Senator Reed of Missouri, Gov. Ritchie and Willlam G McAdoo. As the skit opened, Miss Democracy, in’ traditional mid-century costume, was wrangling with a ‘mechanic. After she told who she was, the mechanic sore and is Coolid: No, moaned Fla v Arrives. nd her might have guessed that, for wherever you were going you didn't get there. “I'm gol the lady. “You know the old adage, ‘Fly, fly again.’ We lady aviators don’t quit because we have a fall May be you'll do better with more experience.” “Experience? h air most of the time for the last 5 years.” T've been up in the 0 “Spirit of Discord.” “Has your airplane been christened”' “In everything from grape juice to bourbon.’ - ‘What is its name? “The Spirit of Discord.” Practicini I'm about to attempt another record-breaking non-stop flight to the White House.” i “Some hop—from political oblivion to the White House.” ¢ “Oh, T don’t know.

What is it7" asked Miss Democracy. “A monkey wrench I threw in there in 1924," was the reply. Objects to Smith. McAdoo, pretending he did not de- gire the pilot’s job, entered vigorous objections to Smith, Reed or Ritchie. “Ritchie won't do,” McAdoo ex- claimed, “he can’t fly over water. “While with you, McAdoo, Miss Democracy no doubt would stand an excellent chance of dying in a desert.” Playing of the “Sidewalks of New York” announced the appearance of Al Smith in aviator's togs, but a brown derby.

Comment on the failure of Charles Evans Hughes and Senator Hiram Johnson to meet at the dinner was:| “They failed to meet once before | when presidential politics were ac- tive.’ The playing of “Hail to the Chief" at the entrance of Vice President Dawes, in the absence of President | Coolidge, led MacNamee to say that “the ra-ta-ta caused ¥ atorx‘ Curtis and Willis and Gov. Ritchie of | Maryland to get mad and reach for their hats and coats.” “Boy, oh, boy, you should have seen Secretary Hoover's face,” the Secre- | tary of Commerce heard MacNamee | say. “He looked like he had walked | right into the middle of another dis-| aster.

Many of Sure it wa nouncer said 1f, them were called to their feet during | the evening, so that they might be given the “once ovel Among these were three of the transoceanic flye Col.

Pickett M gruder. late commandant of the Phil- | delphia Navy Yard, pointed him out as a member of the Papa-Spank Club, organized by President idge in imitation of President Roose- Ananias Club—so the diners were told—and already having among its members such d zens as Maj. Gen. Charles P. Sum- merall, chief of the Army general staff; Senator Fess of Ohio; Secr tary of the Navy Wilbur and the ex- ecutives of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States. Another musical entertainment ented “a tuneful expedition n political archeology. financed b¥ those distinguished po- litieal philanthropists, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, and Dr. Bernard Baruch, founder of the Institute of Politics.” “Dr; uch,” said Dr. Butler, “the Republican party hasn't had an issue since we formed the new association of nations. On Trail of Issue. “Quite true, Dr. Butler,” said Dr. Baruch. “And the Democratic party hasn’t had an issue since we kept you out of war.” “I'm glad the Democratic and Re- | publican National Committees have adopted our proposition for a joint expedition of archeologists,” said Dr. Butler, “who will search the past for an issue for the present. The “archeologists” marched in and disclosed themselves as an old-time marching-club, high hats, transpar- encies, red fire and all. They sang “We'll revive the glory, Of olden days. We'll tell the story Of old campaign way: When party men went Votes to inspire, We won elections With good red fire.” The archeologists finally decided to leave the issues for 1928 to the news. paper correspondents, and all joined in the following refrain: 1.ere’s to the days of shouts and mirth, Here's to the men of yore. There was never a radio, Politics not a bore, Speeches were made to educate, Issues were all made plain. Let’s bring them back for twenty-eight; Let's have a real campaign! Farm Relief Skit.

He represented one of the jurymen in that case, and was fol- | lowed to the stage by his “shadow, one of the Burns detectives. Chicago’s mayor, “Big Bill” Thomp- | son, was put on the gridiron because of his desire to burn all books in the public library of that city that are | | suspected of being pro-British. The characters in this skit were Mrs O'Leary, her cow, two aldermen and a truckman. The scene was a meet- ing of the Chicago city council.
