Al Smith's Day.
Issues of Fanaticism.

Parsons of Missouri.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE
Democratic Convention, June
27.—Yesterday was Al Smith day
in the big corfvention. The men
tion of Smith’s name by Franklin
D. Roosevelt, at the end of a nomi
nating speech, turned loose a noise
such as no convention ever heard
before.
Some thousands of earnest and
powerful young supporters of Gov
ernor Smith “crashed the gates”
without much if any resistance by
th" police. Thanks to the vigor of
their lungs and to the really ex
traordinary enthusiasm nf +he rest
of the great crowd in the garden,
there happened a thing not seen be
fore.
Instead of the band leading the
demonstration and keeping it
going, the demonstrators marching,
rushing, shrieking, yelling, sing
“Sidewalks of New York,” and
shouting the name of Al Smith,
actually drowned the music of the
band.
Not only one band was drowned
by the human voices. Besides the
big crowd of musicians in the gal
lery, there were two different brass
bands parading around the hall,
and they could not be heard except
as they passed directly in front of
you.
If enthusiasm means a nomina
tion (it does sometimes and some
times it does not) Al Smith will be
flt'n'r>ated.
B^Knthusiasm is ratehing. It af
reets even seasoned newspaper re
porters. That Al Smith demon
stration will be reflected in news
paper columns all over the United
States today.
However, if you studied closely
the hundreds of delegates that did
not join in the parade or in the
shouting, especially if you studied
the women, sitting quietly among
the delegates, you could see lips
firmly pressed together, faces with
out the trace of a smile, that
seemed to say, “Al Smith? No.”
Mrs. Parsons of Unionville, Mo.,
earnest delegate, in a summery
dress of light gray silk, stands out
as leader of the four female im
mortals from Missouri.
Standing up on their chairs with
no apparent pause for breath, they
shouted continuously: “We don’t
care when east says ‘boo,’ we’re
here to vote for McAdoo.”
While everybody else yelled “Al
Smith,” or sang what may be the
new national anthem, “Fast Side,
West Side, All Around the Town,”
Mrs. Parsons of Unionville, Mo.,
was busy. For one hour, that
dauntless lady was feverishly roll
in" up halls made of paper, the
paper being handed to her by de
votrd friends in her delegation.
Then, as the Al Smith brass
bands passed by. she threw the
paper balls into one big open brass
Morn after another, silencing the
^udc. if only for half a minute.
That’s the spirit that offsets a
good deal of noisy enthusiasm.
This, however, is certain. The
demonstrations for Al Smith will
influence scores of delegates that
did not expect to be influenced in
AI Smith’s direction.
They could see by the action of
the crowd, by the literally frantic
cheering, that Smith has an ex
traordinary hold upon the people of
his city.
i Nevertheless, before you say “it's
Smith,” remember the people who
came from quiet little placec They
have not yet been heard from in
the convention. McAdoo has had
his demonstration. Governor AI
Smith has had his overwhelming
demonstration. But both demon
strations leave a great majority of
the 1 12,000,000 persons of the
United States not represented in
any of the shouting.
Candidates have gathered their
groups of delegates pledged more
or less securely. Those groups will
melt.
The newspapers are concentrated
on three issues that are new, far
removed from the old McKinley
“dinner pail.” They are:
l First—Prohibition fanaticism.
I Second Religious fanaticism.
1 Third—League of nations fana
tinsm—that last fanaticism rapidly
R^B^ing out.
It isn't straining for a play on
I words to say that the old-fashione'd
f dinner pail in the convention has
been largely replaced by the
equally old-fashioned beer pail.
The young can remember how
that old beer pail went back and
forth from the saloon to the house
and how in old days people were
content to rule that little boys and
girls must not play Ganymede to
King Gambrinus.
It’s new and puzzling to see rep
resentatives of one of the big par
tie* among 112,000.000 persons
writing about the right, of men to
drink beer, which they drank be
fore Tutankhamen was horn. And
jt’* new in politics to h"ar men
argue about the right to wear
masks in public which they have
1 done at frequent intervals and did
in the middle ages, when masked
judges, protecting their own safety
under the masks, sentenced human
beings to cruel death.
Puzzling also for those that
know of Boston’s tea party to have
“statesmen” - representing the
United States frantically demand
ing that the United States aban
don its 148-year-old policy of gov
erning itself to join a league of na
tions and submit itself to the de
cisions of a world court.
You wonder what has happened
to the people of America, that hav
ing thrown off Kuropean govern
mint, must now return to it, and
^^Tnust. amend their constitution to
^^Lforce themselves by law lo exercise
^^^the self-control that they are un
able to exercise for themselves.
The Al Smith enthusinsm is in
part undoubtedly New York’s pro
trxl against the prohibition that
aays, in practice, “you shall all
drink water except the few that
can afford bootleg prices for cham
pagne or bootleg whisky.''
As everyone knows “absolute
prohibition,” so-called, was born
of war excitement, the spirit of
self-denial that made possible a
drastic change in the habits of
more than half the people without
consulting those whose habits were
suddenly to be changed.
To future historians the one in
teresting result of today’s excite
ment and next fall’s election may
prove to be the partial revoking of
prohibition born of the enthusiasm
of war. The enthusiasm for A1
Smith in that New York crowd to
day was at least as noisy as any
thing in war timp.

De Luxe Train on
Northern Pacific
Improves Service
North ('.oast Limited Cele
brates Silver Anniversary;
Women May (Jet Hair
Bobbed on Board.
One of America's fine trains—the
North Coast Limited of the North
ern ■ Pacific, operating between Chi
cago and Seattle—Is now celebrating
Us silver anniversary year of service
with finer equipment and better ac
commodations than ever.
When this train observed the be
ginning of Its 25th year on April 29
by giving a birthday party, it set a
precedent in railroading.
"The 25th year will be celebrated
by a greater service to the northwest
than in any year in the train's his
tory," A. B. Smith, passenger man
ager. predicts. "We expect more
passengers than ever before by rea
son of Improved equipment and con
venience and because of the increas
ing interest of world travelers in the
northwest."
The North Coast Limited lias car
ried over 10,000,000 persons without a
fatal accident. It was the first elec
tric lighted sleeping car train in the
northwest and introduced to the
public such travel luxuries as tub
baths, \alet arid barber service, li
brary, writing facilities and through
dining cars.
Alanv improvements are embodied
In the North Coast Limited today
compared to the first train a quarter
of a century ago. Wooden rarshave
been replaced by steel, dining cars
and meal service are closer to perfec
tion and locomotives are more pow
erful. Women as well as men now
occupy the barber chair. It is thrill
ing to get a "speedy" bob—while
traveling a mile a minute.
The North Coast Limited is 10
trains. When two trains are arriv
ing and departing in the Chicago
yards, two are passing on the North
Dakota prairies, two in the heart of
the Montana Rockies, two are near
Puget Sound and two are In reserve,
one ready to etart In each direction.
