LARDNER. 1 Chicago, June 10.—(Special Tele- gram.)—At about 5:30 a boy named Parke Brown that works on the Trib- une come in from the telephone booth out to the Coliseum and says he just had a message for me from the boss and the boss wanted to know why didn’t I come and write some- thing. Meaning that my stuff didn't make no difference when it-is written, because I don't know nothing and let the reporters that do know sumethm% stay there and get ihe news, but got to leave the Coliseum just when the most interesting thing of the day is being pulled off, td wit the demon- stration for a guy named Roosevelt that nobody wants for president ex- cept the people. The reason this was the most interesting thing of the da was because it was what lhc{ call spontaneous and not no bought and aid for demonstration like they give or the rest of the candidates that no- body heard of and probably won't never hear about them again. Must Have Ring's Dope. So I had to leave the Coliseum and come down town and go without sup- per so as the paper would have some- thing to run about the convention when it went to press even if my stuff is worthless and hasn’t no bearing on the subject. But being brought up to obey those in authority, I am doing like I was told with a smile and trying nct to be mad to be called away in the pinch. I got in yesterday just as Mr, Harding was calling out the rolls of the states for nominations. The first state was Alabama and they says they did not have no ‘candidatés and from what I seen of Alabama I believe them. Then come Alaska and they says they did not have none either be- cause all the gold diggers was down town. So then come Arizona and the chairman got up and said he didn't have no candidate and would yield Arizona to New York, but one of the degredation protested and says that one of the delegates that answered to his name was not there, but had left for Arizona last night and he must of been a sucker. ell, anyway the delegate’s name who had been called our and who got up and says “1" was Wright and when Mr. Hard- ing ast him if he left for Arizona last ni;ht. He says he had. “Well, then,” says Mr. Harding, “you ain't right, are you?” r. Wright. wrong Mr. Wright, has went home.” ays Mr., Harding, id who gave you the wright to speak for Fight. says the wrong Mr, ve his badge be- general opinion amongst the convention was that this here substi- tute had won the badge from Mr. Right in a rummy game, but anyway it didn't seem to make no difference and New York got the floor. Doc Nicholas Murray Butler of the Butler Bros., then got up, but Mr. Harding says, “Governor Whitman has the floor,” so Governor Whitman got up and the Doc set down, The governor kept his candidate’s name secret till the finish, and nobody knowed for a long while if he was boosting G: the-Blood or Joht McGraw, but ally he come right out and says he. was talking about- Charley Hughes, and then come the first demonstra- tion. It lasted twenty-one minutes by an Ingersoll and was fully as enthus- iastic as a Philadelphia American league base ball crow. Girl Leads Rooting. Then Doc Butler give us the name of Eli Root, and a girl named Myrtle in Section 53 of the gallery led the rooting. She was a strong argument | st equal suffrage. he demon- tion for Eli would have lasted two or three minutes, only this girl, and she kept it going ten minutes longer because everybody loves a good so- prano. The next sguker was Governor Willis from Ohio, and it developed that he was plugging for Burton, but not the Burton that writes our auto- mobile junk. Mr. Governor Willis's speech was a grand speech, only after he promised us he was going to close up, he forgot the name of the guy he was up there to nominate and had to keep stalling along a couple of extra hours, till the prompter put him wise. Governor Willls's talk was a master- iece and none of us had heard noth- ing like it since we left high school. Probably you can get copies of it from the Associated Press. The only thing I can recall from memory is, “I am not here to pluck the fragrant flowers of eloquence,” maybe you can imagine the rest of it from that. The beauty of the governor's kept us mystified. He mentioned Me- Kinley and Garfield and Lincoln and Blaine so many times that we thought sure he was going to nominate one of them four. He sprung Burton as a big surprise as goon as he remem- bered his name. The demonstration was something grand, Have a Heart, that the republican nominee amongst other qualification, must have a heart, $0 imY‘rtued they repeated the words after him, “Have a heart.” He recited poetry, too, I think Sam Kiser wrote it. After Governor Willis's speech sev- eral of us felt overcome amr went out moke. ‘Where you going?” ast a police- man. “Out to smoke,” says I. Well, you can't go out,” he says. “Under what city statute can't you leave no place only y?ur own home?” I ast him, “All right,” says he, “you can go out but you can't come back.” Shos Up the Police. So we went out, and when we got ready, we come back, proving the fal- lacy of the old adage that a Chicago policeman is perfect. When we got back, somebody had left the door open and a crowd of Shermanites had come in out of the rain. Many of them was from he Hamilton club, and as I had been in- vited l:‘hmch there once, I made no eeks, but he did not talk for ike the rest of them, but only a few minutes. The next speaker’ was Mr. Miller \ iece was that he|C. E THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 11, Ring Much Impressed With Some Republican Nominating Speeches from Delaware and he nominated Mr. Dupont of the powder mill and the subsequent demonstration, led by W. J. Bryan, was as long drawn out and as noisy as an explosion of punk with a Maxim silencer attached. Mr. Miller named many of Mr. Du- pont’s qualifications, but he forgot to mentoin that he wears two-bit collars and eats with a fork and is good to his folks and the hired girl. Then comes Mr. Calhoun that nomi- nated Mr. Sherman, the man who said wiur was hell, and all us humorists has been joking about it ever sinte, Fairbanks of the Wabash. Mr. Calhoun's speech was followed by a grand march by members of the l'{amilton club, most of which looked like they'd rather be back there. Then come Will R, Wood of Lafayette, Ind., and nominated Mr, Fairbanks and the delegation from Indiana sang “On the Fairbanks of the Wabash. Mr. Wood's sgcech was unique and didn’t hold off the name of the candi- date till the finish but left us know right away who he was talking about s0 as we wouldn’t think it was Nelson Jens, the South Bend funeral director. The demonstration for Mr. Fair- banks had to be stopped by the po- lice, ing says the next speaker would be Mr. Kendall and I was scared it was | going to be Ben Kendall that works on this paper Ad lib. But this here was a Mr. Kendall, a congressman, and he says Mr. Cummins, who he was plugging, was born in Pennsyl- vania, educated in Illinois and married in Michigan. And now he's in Iowa and they’s only one thing!left to hap- pen to him there. Fall for Roosevelt. Then come Mr, Fall for Roosevelt, like everybody else does but the dele- gates, Mr. Fall was said to of prom- ised that he wouldn’t say more than a 100 words, but he disappointed. He made a pretty long speech, and while 1 wouldn’t say it wasn’t a good speech, I would say that I could made a bet- ter one and stuck inside the hundred words. I would of said: “My coun- trymen (everybody says that): All these guys tfi'n went ahead of me have told who their candidates was and Tisted their qualifications. You know who my candidate was and is and you know his qualifications. Some of them others of course, needs a long speech of introduction because they never been heard of outside of What Cheer and Great Bend. This guy of mine hasn't never kept himself a secret. Teddy, you're a bear.” Then I would of went out and smoked. i The reason I criticise all these birds is because I don't expect to never meet them. You can bet I wouldn't be so rough with no ball player or foot ball coach. @lad He Got the . Spaghetti Necktie Bragio Cardella, 1103 Pacific street, presented Officer Carver with a spa- hetti necktie yesterday afternoon. he donor explained that he appre- ciated what Mr. Carver had done for his boy. Mr. Cardella is a spaghetti manufacturer. He wove fine strands of the product and inserted red, white and blue ribbons. Mr. Carver will wear the necktie during the patriotic parade next Wednesday and on Juliy 4. “I appreciate this present more than any gift I have received for many a day, because 1 know it represented a deep feeling of appreciation,” said Mr. Carver.

Each one of these two CORDS is strong enough to lift a Man’s weight. It is the enormous Strength of these flat, rubber-impregnated, CORDS,—firmly anchored, with equal tension on every inch,—that gives to Silvertown Cord Tires their unequalled Endurance. Witness the recent Mulford achievement of ‘driving more than 16500 Miles, at 76 Miles per hour average, without changing a Tire. . Witness the winning of every important high-speed, or long- distance, Race during the past two years on Silvertown Cord Tires. SILVERTOWN Cord Tires have no Threads in them! * * * (Silvertown) CORD Tires that a Car will coast 25% to 30% further on them, down a slight road incline, than would the same Car on the best Fabric Tires made. & This easily-proven fact indicates why the same Motor-power drives the same Car 17% faster than that Car could be driven on the best Fabric Tires. It also supplies a key to the 25% saving on Gasolene, per mile, which results from the use of Silvertown CORD Tires. But it does not, so alearly, explain the wonderful smoothness of riding on Silvertown Tires,—that luxurious sense of gliding over the ground instead of ‘‘driving’’ over it. . . This is probably the highest attribute of the Silvertown Cord Tire—that which is most valued by the critical Car-Owner. _'l'nAe <= ILVERTOWN Cord Tires, are made with Silvertown ‘* Safety - Tread”” and with Silvertown ‘‘Rib-Tread (shown in Tire picture) as well. \ Made in ‘‘Straight-side’’ Type as well as in *‘Clincher’’ Type. No Tires on earth average LARGER for their Size and Type. ; The Silvertown 86x4% Tire contains 1240 Cubic Inches of Air-space. The nearest Thread (or so-called ‘‘Cord’’) 86x4% inch Tire found on the Market, after a diligent Search, has only 1191 Cubic Inches,, for same Straight-side Type and Size. / SUCH ig the marvellc;ns Regilience of these Two-layer L] .
