Any convention on a statewide
basis is an interesting assembly
ami the annual convention of the
state grange is certainly no excep-
tlon. More than 500 men, women
and children usually assemble,
the men not too comfortable in
suits and the women, conversely,
leveling in the opportunity to
wear good clothes—as women
universally do.
These grange
women are good looking speci
mens, not too fat and more than
usually capable looking.
They
move well and are light on their
feet and apjwar to be physically
harder than their city sisters.
People come to a grange con
vention for what appears a mul
titude of reasons and being a dele
gate is not the greatest of these.
They have the opportunity to see
more of the state, take a partly
paid vacation trip and listen to
some speeches which they bear
for upward to twelve horn's a
day. Their Interest in the politi
cal procedures is more as obser
vers than as partisans and only
a few seem ready to do bat 116 for
or against a sales tax, or lieuten
ant-governor. A visit to the state
grange convention solidifies the
opinion that the grange is a so
cial Institution despite the ac
tions of its officers. A discussion
on how to make a better cake—
if anyone can make a better cake
than grange women—would draw
more interest than a discussion
of taxes.
The fringe of any convention
is more expressive than the cen
ter. It Is here that opinions are
voiced; those who stay inside
must be quiet until whatever fire
engendered in them cools. At Pen
dleton the fringe was not Im
pressed with the pious platitudes
of the la,K»r leaders about friend
ship between those who buy food
and those who sell it. Grangers
know that human nature will
cause labor to buy as cheaply as
possible. And they know they will
