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

will not fail again.

The Cuban election last Sun

A Northern California ex
change reports a woman going
down the street with a wad of

where she got the money, and

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

Editorial Correspondence!
Chicago, 111., July 15. 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

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). R. is extremely popular) but be
cause they want a STORY, and
to form, there will be none Only
a headache.
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

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

We will say this for Chicago over Philly , the lake front

the hospitality appears entirely genuine and spontaneous.

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

how send stamped envelope

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.

Welcome to Chicago
(From Chicago Tribune.)
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.

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. In hla
annoyance with Hupklne and the
others at Chlcaao. he be an to
change his mind about hla commit
ment. Flynn and a number of other
Democratic leaders of the more prac
tical type put heavy pressure on
Farley, and hs then agreed to abide
by hla comraltnent after all.
This was a pretty unreal triumph.
But the mass sttacxers now hope
that before many houra have passed
