An occasional outburst of cheer- ing, blaring bands that mixed jazz with somber turnes, and waving red flares kept up the interest in the procession. Parade Disappoints. Heralded as a mammoth procession with 50000 marchers, the parade, strung out to the point of straggling. took one hour and nine minutes to pass. As usual, Police Supt. Ernest W. Brown was the first to come along. He rode alone in the tonneau of a touring car and was followed by a score of motor cycle police. Close behind came Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen with an equestrian group of men and women Wwearing | derbies and knotted scarfs. The Police Boys' Club Band pro- vided a touch of color with their red coats and caps and blue trousers, and the first laugh was furnished by a damsel in a seedy-looking hack who rode just ahead of a shiny limcusine. A walker who paced the horse-drawn hack carried 2 placard announcing the exhibition as a relic of the “homse and buggy days,” while another ban- ner held up the limousine as an ex- ample of “Roosevelt days.” A portly gentleman, dented silk hat and carrying a satchel labeled “Doc Hoover,” led a man powered elephant with two jackasses, also stuffed with humans, on the wearing & Float Carries “Indians.” Next in line was a float carrying an Indian tepee and a pipe-smoking | chief.

Alaska was well up among the sec- tional groups. The Colored Demo- cratic League featured a contingent of Boy Scouts and a crowded truck blazing with flares. Georgia and West Virginia pre- sented the largest units. They shamed some of the more silent marchers by keeping up a constant din with whis- tles, bells and shouts of “wahoo” and such, A colored truck rider in the Allied Democratic Club group reassured Roosevelt supporters with cries that “Everything is OK. All the rough edges are knocked off—you'll get a good deal, a square deal with Roose- velt.” The Civil Service Commission had warned its employes against carrying signs in the parade, but the commis- sion found its name emblazoned in 2-foot letters on a banner announcing “Landon Ignored Kansas Civil Service Employes.” Towa, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania and Montana groups carried placards declaiming they were “for Roosevelt.” A dozen youths from South Dakota rage and the pa- | GEORGE A.
