Ring Much Impressed With Some
Republican Nominating Speeches
BY RINfl W. LARDNER.
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 something
stay there and get ihe news, but I
got to leave the Coliseum just wnen
the most interesting thing of the day
is being pulled off, td wit the demon
stration lor a guy named Kooseveii
that nobody wants for president ex.
cept the people. The reason this was
the most interesting thing of the day
was because it was what they call
spontaneous and not no bought and
paid for demonstration like they give
tor the rest of the candidates that no
body heard of and probably won't
never hear about them again.
Must Have Rim'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 not 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 candidates 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. Well, anyway
the delegate's name who had been
called our and who got up and says
"I" was Wright and when Mr. Hard
ing ast him if he left for Arizona last
night He says he had.
T,Well, then," says Mr.' Harding,
"you ain't right, are you?"
Wrong Mr. Wright
' "No," says the wrong Mr. Wright,
"Mr. Wright has went home."
.."Wetl, well," says Mr. Harding,
"and who gave you the wright to
speak foFtlgnt,
'U7.1I ...-Tl " ..... .u. if.
vtvii, wen, hs uic niuug ivir.
Wright, "Mr. Right gave his badge be.
tore ne started home;
-The general opinion amongst the
convention was that this here substi
tute had won , the badge from Mr.
Klgnt 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 i Mr. Harding
says, Governor Whitman has the
floor," so Governor Whitman got up
and the Doc set down. The governor
Kept nis candidate s name secret till
the finish, and nobody knowed for a
long while if he was boosting Gyp-
the-Blood or John McGraw. but fin
ally he come right out and says heJ
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.
Oirl Leads Rooting.
Then Doc Butler give us the name
of Eli Root, and a girl named Myrtle
in section sj ot the gallery led the
rooting. She was a strong areument
against equal suffrage. The demon
stration for .11 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 speaker ' 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 Willis's talk was a master
piece and none of us had heard noth
ing iikc it nee we icu nign acnooi.
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 piece was that he
kept us mystified. He mentioned Mc
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 at soon as he remem
bered his name.
The demonstration was something
grand.
Have a Heart
" Oh, yes, another thing he says was
that the republican nominee amongst
other qualification, must have a heart,
and everybody in the press stand was
so impressed they repeated the words
after him, "Have a heart."
He recited poetry, too, I think Sam
Riser wrote it.
After Governor Willis's speech sev
eral of us felt overcome and went out
to smoke.
"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 your own home?"
I ast him.
"All right" says he, "you can go out
but you can't come back.".
Shoe Up the Police.
So we went out, and when we got
ready, we come back, proving tke 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 to lunch there once, I made no
protest
The next speaker was Mr. Lodge
of Massachusetts. And he was nomi
nating Weeks, but he did not talk for
Weeks like the rest of them, but only
a few minutes.
The next speaker was Mr. Miller
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
wLf was hell, and all us humorists
has been joking about it ever sirrte.
Fairbanks of the Wabash.
Mr. Calhoun's speech was followed
by a grand march by members of the
Hamilton 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
Tin !.. I74rrK4nt.. rtf tUm Uaks.l."
Mr. Wood's aneech was uninue 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
so 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, After the stoppage,, Mr. Hard
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
I 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 that went ahead of me
have told who their candidates was
and listed 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.
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. ,

Observe the CORDS!
S'
I ILVERTOWN Cord Tires have no Threads !n them!
Nor have they the 5 to 7 layers (of Threads) as used
in other so-called "Cord" Tires, and in the Palmer-Web
Tires we abandoned making in 1913.
They have CORDS only, giant Cords (as shown in picture
herewith) and only two lauers of these, with a layer of Rubber be
tween to prevent friction.
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
1500 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.
S'
IUCH is the marvellous Resilience of these Two-layer
(Silvertown) CORD Tires that a Car will coast 25 to
SOIb further on them, down a slight road incline, than
would the same (Jar on the best f abric urea 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 dearly, explain the wonderful smoothness
ot 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.
S
ILVERTOWN Cord Tires, are made with Silvertown
"Safety -Tread" and with Silvertown "Rib-Tread"
' (shown in Tire picture) as well
Made in straight-side" iype as well as in
"Clincher" Type.
No Tires on earth average LARGER for their
Size and Type.
The Silvertown 36x4 Tire contains 1240 Cubic
Inches of Air-space.
The nearest Thread (or so-called "Cord") 36x4
inch Tire found on the Market after a diligent Search,
has only 1191 Cubic Inches,, for same Straight-side
Type and Size. ,
THE original Silvertown Rib-Tread being
now closely copied by Makers of other
Tires, we have identified the srenuine
Silvertowns with a small and sightly Trade-Mark. '
That Trade-Mark is a double-diamond of red rubber, on each
Tire, as pictured on upper part of Tire herewith (and as spacers be
tween paragraphs of this Advt).
By this, and their aristocratic appearance, shall you know them.
' Silvertowns can now be had through all Goodrich Dealers and
Branches. .
