HAL BOYLE SAYS (Editor's note: Trellis Mae Pee- ble, America’s most average wife finds that every Democrat is a king-maker in the following letter to her husband giving an inside view of the Donkey Serenade.) By HAL BOYLE CHICAGO (®—Dear darling Wil- ur, Well, honey, the Democratic con- vention right now is like a bar- bershop quartet where everybody wants to sing tenor. This is the showdown day to pick the presidential nominee, and there are still than there are delegates. If the convention charged each one a nominating fee, it could wipe out the national debt. The candidates are all so nerv- ous they are trading each other ulcers as well as delegates. But the one they are most angry at is Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the Ili nois sphinx who won't say yes and fan't say no. Adamant Adlai still seems to add up as the popular favorite, but a lot of Democrats are geting an- noyed at his coyness “T think Stevensor just confuses this convention with a radio give away program,” said one dele gate. “He will accept the nomi Ration all right, but he figures if he waits a little longer he maybe also can win an electric refrigera tor, a new car and a week's trip to Bermuda.” With balloting time so near. everybody is as nervous as a cat in a dog pound. The donkey men are all ears, listening to the ru-, mors rumors. . . rumors that fly around like sparrows in a Popcorn storm Here are just a few show Wilbur, to you how silly rumors can “Taft has sent some of his here to work for er sent some of his izers here to disrupt the man campaign.” A Kefauver supporter cot nder the strain, sat and began to strum ch—aunder the delusion he 4. “Harry Truman is working a @uija board in the White House trying to get it to tell him what candidate to back.” Somehow, dear, I hink Alben Barkley is lucky to be out of it all—if he really is.

TAMPA ® — John Cliffe con- inued in Circuit Court today the | shocking story of the punishment | which led to the death of his 4 year-old stepson, The nattily dressed, bespectac- led farmhand declared he was in- nocent of causing the child’s death. In two hours of testimony Wednesday, the 27-year-old Cliffe put most of the blame on his wife | but at one point insisted he still | loved her and was willing to take | the blame on his shoulders, if nec- | essary. The Cliffes are charged with first degree murder because of the | death of little Wayne Dolham. | Cliffe told how the child had | been beaten, kept without food, | made to stand up during the day | and tied up by the neck during |the night on the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday before he died, still | Strung up. | The witness told the jury Mrs. | Cliffe began the punishment be- } cause of Wayne’s stubborn dis- , Obedience and that she carried out most of while he was at work, He said he helped her hang Wayne up at night The witness said he liked chil. | dren and it made no difference to him that Mrs. Cliffe’s children, born before he met her, were il legitimate. One of several char- acter witnesses for Cliffe said he had set with her children. He denied beating Wayne, whose I hit my Mae.” But, Wilbur, the thing I liked best about the veep was that, when he was through and they called | his wife to the platform, the first thing he said was, ‘How did I do, dear?’ I know he said it, because I could read his lips. And she just smiled and held his hand up in a V for victe signal When the ovation was over at last and he had shaken the hands of all the politicians who came up to say goodbye, he just stood quiet ly there for a moment. He looked out past the waving banners, up to the big signs saying, “6) mil jobs” and “twenty years of nty.”” He looked at the portraits Democratic chieftains ferson, Jackson, Grover Cleveland Wilson, Roosevelt and Truman. He stood there all alone at the summit of his life, and, Oh Wil- bur! his lifetime was in his eyes. He lifted his hands and shook them gravely the four corners of the great hall, like 2 solemn to the sun, and then he turned and walked out of the light and into the dark.
