Wendell Willkle, the Republi can presidential nominee, has been advised Dy nis running mate, to retrain from wisecracks, nd not make too many speeches during the coming campaign. The idea would have been a dandy eight years ago when Mr. Hoover was in full cry, and four years ago when Mr. Landon was bravely trying to orate, but nobody thought of it then. It is till good advice, as far as they are concerned. Inasmuch as Mr. Winkle can both wisecrack and talk, competently and charm ingly, he should not be gagged. The faithful of 1932 and 1038 are entitled to listen, since they have one, to a candidate whose vocal efforts will not cause them to try and crawl under the radio. ... DEFIANCE Or YOUTH (Ad Siskiyou (Calif.) News) "For 18 months every pre caution possible has been taken to keep minors out of Tavern. It isn't the fact that their company is not de sirable, but it is strictly against the law for anyone under 21 years of age to be In a place where liquor is sold. The LAW IS NOT being broken at Tavern for the sake of a few youngsters who wish to put over the fact that they are grown up" ... A French woman married the man who failed in four attempts to murder her. She got her re venge, but has no guarantee he will not fail again. ... An eastern Oregon editor has climbed Mt.

The Cuban election last Sun day was not as rough as expect ed, with only 23 wounded. A lively Saturday night on the Pacific Highway would show more sanguinary results. ...

A Northern California ex change reports a woman going down the street with a wad of bills in her stocking. The event attracted wide attention, and speculation. It was not known where she got the money, and how she happened to have her stockings on. . NOT WORTH IT "After pointing to a man In lola with a substantial bank ac count, William Ackworth, editor of the lola Register, asserts the man owes that nice bank account to the constant henpeckin of his wife. She takes him In their car to work and brings him home again. She will not allow him to go out nights fearing he will squander the family income. He Is not allowed by his henperk ing wife to spei.d money on cig arettes. Nor Is he allowed to belong to a men''' club. He must help her with the housework In the opinion of Mr. Ackworth more women should emulate that henpccklng wife. Were we a man. we'd rather never have a bank account. (Atchinson (Kan.)

A man from Mart, who had attended tha Philadelphia convention and then tins one, would no doubt be mystified. "Why do the same thing over again!" would be his natural inquiry, "I thought these were gatherings of two opposing parties, but they are doing the same things, saying the same things in the same way, therefore I suppose this i going to end up just as the other one did, with the nomination ol WILLK1E and McNARY!" Thii would be a natural conclusion, at the close of the pre liminary session, for a visitor who had no knowledge of party politics on this eccentric planet. For, to date, the two jamborees have been as alike a two peas in a pod, the same large convention halls, the same patri otic decorations, the same loud-speaker attachments, the same galleries, the same radio broadcasting booths (behind glass) the same platform running like a pier out into a sea of up-turned delegates' faces, and practically ' he same speeches from that platform, the same sort of prayers, nothing to distinguish one from the other except the fact that one it marked Repub lican, the other Democratic, and the presiding officer of one had a thick head of curly auburn hair, while the spokesman of the other has no hair at all on top of his head and only a slight fringe in the rear just above his collar. Yes, there is quite a contrast between Jim Farley and John (Dam) Hamilton, the two opposing national chairmen, hut we doubt if the visitor from Mars would notice it, in view of the flood of other similarities. In other words, at this stage of the game, the two gather ings are as alike as two peas in a pod, no more, no less, for upon examining two such peas under a microscope, it would be found they are far from identical. So examining these two conventions under the microscope one finds that this convention hall has bright red seats which give it rather a festive touch of color; that the speaker's stand, instead of being at one end of the oval, is placed at the center of Oiie side, which brings the speaker closer to the auditors, and eliminates the distant rear (where our girl reporter had to sit in 1'hiladelphia) and there are two large colored portraits in this hall, while there were none in the Quaker City, a huge one of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt at one' end. and not such a huge one of Vice President Garner at the other, the artist, apparently instructed not to place, in view of the present perilous times, the characteristic smiles on either countenance, has made them look sour, sore and entirely unnatural. Much to our surprise, Jim Farley introduced an old acnuaint- ance and several years ago a Kiver valley, Hob Dunham of local park commissioner. Like didn't look any younger after w.uao jui-m nuiiui ne (nun i iook very well, but lie gave the only speech of the preliminary session of which the press gal lery approved, it was brief, to the point and failed to bring in the name of the president of the L'nited States for the in.vit.il l applause! (En passant it might orotner-in-law of frank Preston, the Little Applegate, as well as solvent of President Roosevelt's If the boys in the press gallerv had anything to sav about it, which unfortunately they haven't, President Roosevelt would throw a bomb shell into this auditorium about Wednes day night, with the proclamation that he is not a candidate, will not be one, and if nominated will refuse to accept the nomi nation. How they pray for that to happen, not because thev have anything against the present occupant of the White House (with the press as a whole F. I).

The preliminary speeches today, however, indicated no such outcome, in fact, quite the ample, who looks like a prosperous and muscular contractor, dressed in his Sunday clothes instead of making what he was supposed to make, a welcoming speech on behalf of Chicago, mnde a "keynote" of his own. and a iiomitintinir speech for Franklin Delano, with great emphasis upon the fact the Presi- lent has hiaile no effort to secure it, but should be drafted by the convention and COMPELLED to take itl The band came in, supplemented by the orgnn, at this point of the speech, and there was some applause, but if the President were listening in we are quite sure its volume would have been disappointing.) TJ. S. Senator Lucas of Illinois, a tall, bronzed, ha nilsome citizen of this great commonwealth came. next, and seconded the motion, he was supposed to speak for Governor Horner of this state who is still a sick man, but instead, spoke of that ereat humanitarian and inspired world leader, Franklin Delano itooseveit. The band didn't come in to ley board of strategy no doubt, applause at all, so little in fact in uir srni nciiimi oiiscrven; .No doubt it s going to be Roosevelt, but It doesn't lnnlr lit any suimpedc for the Groat Smoothie Face!" The weather still remains which we have a notion pleases Mrs. Jim Farley, for she is wear ing a very handsome assortment of silver fox pelts, fore and aft. We see no reason to modify from the senate press gallery will not be a candidate, but when all the opposing candidates have had their brief sun-baths in the convention spotlight, the signal from the chief will be given, and the roll call for a third term for Mr. Roosevelt will then be l' ANIMOL'S t a a a a a We will say this for Chicago over Philly , the lake front section never looked cleaner, and no people could be more obliiring and courteous, in the loop and out of it.

AFTER BREAKFAST BLUES No, sad to say, it isn't en tirely the abominable coffee that makes to many people feel so Inept after b r eakfast when rightly one should have the world by the tail. In most instance it is just ordi nary everyday modern subnu trition. Even If the coffee were good (that is. un boiled) the ma jority of us would still have to no, not have to, but would still elect to worry along in a state of subnutrition, thanks largely to the way they are hoodwinked by the typical American break fast, which is so easy to eat, so delectable, so digestible, tn erglzing, fattening, but so de ficient in the elements the re fined modern dictlacks miner als and vitamins. Add the usual cupful or two of cof fee, with or without cream or milk and sugar, and even an occasional couple of eggs and a few strips of bacon or ham or sausage, and still the break fast is a humbug meal so far as fortifying or renewing the Inner man is concerned. Compare this conventional breakfast with the breakfast in the Regeneration Regimen or the Corrective Protective Diet which is as follows: A glass of orange juice cal ories, 100; vitamins. A, B. C. G, K; minerals Ca , Phos., iron. Two eges calories, 1K6; vita mins, A. B, D, G. E; minerals, Iron, sulfur, calcium, phospho rus. Fresh fruit calories, 80; vita mins, C, B, A; minerals, so dium, potassium, magnesium, copper, magnese, etc. Glass of milk calories, 160: vitamins, A, B. G; minera'.s, calcium, phosphorus. In the chat we had about Vite for Breakfast here some time ago I suggested what I have found the easiest way for slaves of convention, living cus toms and circumstance to com bat the evil influence of the refined breakfast, namely, by keeping on hand a peck (one fourth bushel, 15 pounds) of plain wheat and contriving to eat some of it every day. (Mon ograph "Wheat to Eat" tells how send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for It.) Or if that is still too complicated a step for such a Washington, D. C, July 17. When and if the congrcs au thorizes the president to call out the guard and mobilize the citi zen soldiers of Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho and Montana, guards men will have something to worry about their Jobs,, if any. Army officers want the mobiliza tion of the guard to 'cover a period of 18 months a year and a half but may compromise on a few months less. Guard mobilization is to be no two-week affair at Camp Clatsop, but training comparable to that planned for the regular army. Politely, the army of ficers call it "hardening" the guard, for although trucks move infantry there is still plenty of hooting for the foot soldiers. It is also proposed by the army officers that the guardsmen be used to break in the draftees, provided congress enacts a law for compulsory military train ing. Obtaining a leave of absence from an employer to participate in a guard encampment for a fortnight is one thing, and leav ing for a year or more is some thing else. This is Just another of the problems up for discus sion in the arguments over the president's proposed mobiliza tion. And there is the problem the married guardsmen must face of how to provide for de pendents on lite pay of a buck private during the mobilization period.

We want to welcome to Chi cago all the delegates and alter nates to the Democratic nation al convention. We don't expect to approve what the convention does but we are not going to blame the delegates for that. Why should they be blamed when they haven't anything to say about it? Chicago is a fine city. It has a lot of fine people In It. Every city has a lot of fine people In It, and we only mention to the delegates that there are a lot of fine people In Chi cago because we're afraid that they might not think so after looking at their haste, the Kelly- Nash -Nudel-man machine. But inasmuch as the delegates are going to see a lot of their host dur ing the week, we would like to tip them off that there are certain sub jects of conversation that tt la 'dip lomatic to avoid when talking to the generalissimos and lieutenants of the Kelly-Nssh-Nudelman machine. For Instance. If you happen to be talking to the Hon. James M. Blatter?, our United States senator, don't ask tf he knows of a safe place where you can stow away your watch and spare cash before you step out for an evening. The Hon. Mr. Slattery will think you are referring to his strong box snd the 135.000 worth of Com monwealth Edison stock. He will probably call you a dirty Republican. If you happen to have your movie camera along, be careful not to point It at a Democratic ward committee man or police captain. He might break a leg scrambling under the nearest sofa. Ward committeemen snd police captains have been allergic t movie cameras since the federal grand Jury started holding previews of a film showing visitors to Billy Skidmore'i Junk yard. If you meet State Senator Abe Marovits (Dem.), don't ask hlra If he haa a Softball team. Softball teams use hall bats, and every time some one mentions ball bats Senator Maro vits la afraid the public will recall an honest garage owner named Marl nua Hrld. who waa beaten to death with them. The racket trade asso ciation that was pushing Hvld around got Its jail bird executive secretary out of a conference in Abe's office. When you meet Abe's boss, Jake Arvey, don't be too enthusiastic about getting the vote out. Jake's boys snd girls In the 34th ward were so enthusiastic about getting the vote out that he's afraid to pick up the telephone for fear he will hear that another of them haa been indicted. Don't ask any one what's become of Lynden Smith, who was so active In the 1936 campaign. No one is quite sure how he died, and your hosts prefer not to discuss him. because just before he died Mr. Smith hsd been doing a lot of talking about some tittle black books he had been keeping while he was custodian of the a per cent shaken down from state employes and contractors. When you meet our colored county commissioner. Edward M. Sneed, don't talk about the sacrifices all of us must make for rearmament. Com missioner Sneed will think you're asking for his pistol. When you meet the Hon. Frank Zlntak, superintendent of better menu at the city hall, don't say. "That's a snappy vest you're wearing. Mr. Zlntak, or "I see you're not wearing your vest. Mr. Zlntak." Mr Zlntak Is sensitive about his vesta snd the pockets in them. The Jury that tried him might have been more sensitive tf the bailiffs hsd n't taken It out to a tavern and s net the tired It. Dont use anything but whole numbers In conversation with Con gressman A. J. Sabath. He'e very sensitive about fractions, particularly fractional congressmen. If you are eating near Secretary Ickes. don't order mushrooms with your stesk. Mushrooms are grown In large holea under the ground, and It begins to look us if that s the only use Chicago can find for the subway thst Mr Ickee told us how to build. Don't ask Mayor Kelly's health commissioner. Dr. Bundesen. any thing about milk. He tried to tell a federal grand Jury about It but the Jurors didn't believe him. tn fact, there are o many things that It' not safe to talk about with a member of the Kelly-Nash-Nudel-man machine that the best thing to do is to confine your conversation to Roosevelt and Humanity, if you dont. they will anyway. Jut stick to Roosevelt and Humanity. Succeeds Willkie. New York. July 17. 1 Justin R.

Alsop-Kintner At Chicago (Continued from Psaa On. t the men who should be Hop kins' supports. They know that Hopkins can not ct decisively and effective ly, even supposing he had the political training to do so, as long as the president continues to play "now you see me, now you don't." The president's little game of mystification makes it impossible for Hopkins to offer definite commitments or give definite orders. THE thlrd-wrmera, on tha other hand, ara really enraged. Secre tary of tha Interior Harold L. Ickee. Attorney Oeneral Robert H. Jackson, such senators aa Prancla Maloney of Connecticut, and many of the non polltlcal Roosevelt camp-followers now In Chicago are privately confesa Ing despair at the way things are beint handled. A movement waa discussed amont them to ask Hopkins to pass on tha command to a wiser and more prac ticed man. preferably Senator Jamea r. Byrnes of South Carolina. And although thle group movement came to nothing, the powerful Brons boss and old Roosevelt mend. Ed Plynn. la known to have telephoned the president In Wsshlngton to tell him. In the most forcible terms, that Hopkins waa making a botch of tha whole business. Flynn waa tj-plcal of tha mass attackers. THB falling off of Hopkins Is a real lesson tn the ups and downs which are humanity's aad fate, when he came to Chicago, he waa the man of the hour. He waa heralded aa the head of a third term strategy board, and he aeemed prepared to act a great part. He arranged one elaborate hide away at the Blackstone where he established hla henchmen, the mya terloua new deal undercover man. David K. Nlles. who got the SJOO.000 from John Lewis In 1936. and before that ran a WPA "information" serv ice. In which slightly maimed authors prepared nattering articles on the WPA for free publication In national magazlnea. In addition to the Black atone hideaway, he took tor himself a hldeaway-from-the-hldeaway at the Ambassador East, com; te with pri vate wire. Secret telephone numbera, and all the apparatua of big time political management. Unluckily the pre-requlsltea of suc cessful blg-tlme political manage ment are authority and experience. Though well-meaning. Hopkins waa lacking In both of these. Hla troubles begsn at once, when he dlacovered that not he but Jamea Parley waa tha biggest figure In Chicago. He hsd neglected to get In touch with Farley on arrival. Then he called him and asked htm to drop over to one of the hldeawaya. Finally he went to see Farley. It waa a concession, but It waa not rewarded. . rB position taken by Farley his determination to have hla name presented to the delegatea, hla frank dislike of tha third term, hla open scorn for the somewhat amateurish Hopkins efforta and his Intention to retire from the national chair manship at an early date waa the real source of the sourness which slowly seeped through tha conven tion. There waa nothing to do, except to nominate the president. There waa no enthusiasm. And the hun dreds of delegatea who ara friendly to Farley, sympathizing with him. curdled what might have been mere dullneaa. HOPKINS' first effort to solve the problem waa to get the conven tion shortened to three days. They thought that If the nomination could be got over promptly, the sourness would disappear. Farley, who had promised the Chlcagoana, puttlug up the money for the con vention, that the delecatee would be In town for five days, refused to go along on any plan to make the convention shorter. Then various other expedlenta were proposed, euch aa omitting balloting, omitting the nominating speech for tha president, and so forth, all Intended to make the nomination aeem to come by acclamation. These, too. came to nothing. After a day or so. Hopkins and hla entourage were ready to read Farley out of the party. A complete change of decoration waa needed at the national committee, so they told all and sundry. Meanwhile, however, other third-term leaders were be ginning to wonder sbout Hopkins' own usefulness. The complalnte cul minated in Ed Flynn'a call to the president. fJLTNNS desire waa to bring Farley f more Into line. It was Impoa- ioie to persusae tne presidents one-time chief backer to withhold hla name from nomination, or to stay on permanentlv aa national I chairman. Some measure of Farley'a bitterness toward tha administration la to be fond in his choice of Senator Carter O'.asa of Virginia to ' make hla nominating speech. But at Hyde Park. In hla talk with the president. Farley had gone so fsr aa to commit himself to staying on at the national committee for . a few weeka after the convention's end to get things straightened out and ready for the campaign.
