Candidates and' Locusts: , BY "BUGS" BAER. Copyright by I'nlverml Srrrlce. . San Francisco, June 22. The -tax soused year of 1920 will clatter down in history as the period of the seventeen-year locusts and the four-year White House candidates. There is a spirit of brotherhood between the locust and the candi date. Both are bugs. They have a working agreement by which the candidate works the metropolitan sections and leaves the suburbs to the locusts. v Which authenticates the Darwin ian theory that there is co-operation and , a crude species of language among the lower life on this man's planet. After chewinc Chicaco loose from its municipal charter, the political locusts are eating their way to San Francisco, rattling into town- under cover of the 'early morning fogs. They will, nest in- the auditorium where the hungriest will start snap ping at the democratic nomination and wind up by eating the fafl crop of third class postmasterships. There s an air of sincerity and honesty around this convention which was lacking in Chicago. Probably due to the fact that the big democrats haven't arrived yet. The demoticket is still open.' Pal mer, Cox, Owen, Edwards and Champ Clark all have a chance to gtab the biscuit. Back in Chicago the big political masquerade was in before it started. - The Old Guard is like a guy who waits until the rescue is made and then runs up and grabs the Carnegie medal. Rumors are flying around thicker than whiskers on the House of David base ball team, but news is TX TT NATIONAL BISCUIT; COMPANY tl LORNA DOONE Biscuit are perfec tion in delicious ready-to-serve shortbread that is mealy, crumbly and with just the right richness to make it unusually palatable and wholesome.

The demobosses were strong for Palmer until a story started about him smearing syrup on both sides of his buckwheat cakes, which places him irrevocably among the radicals. ' . This convention is scared sour that a progressive will horn in and rattle off with the cakes. If you want to ruin a guy just buzz around! that he was piped wearing pearl gray spats with a tuxedo and the bosses i discard him like deuces on the draw. Ratker than stake a radical to the nomination, the bosses will put up a. candidate who cuts his own 4 hair and who runs into the house every time a Ford backfires. They want a good old party locust who will stick with the main herd and who isn't liable to go outsidfc the lot for his meals. Showing that a democratic con vention doesn't differ much from a republican rodeo. Whatever his politics happens to be at the present census, a boss is always a boss. No ventriloquist would be a success if his red-headed mannikin developed a voice of his own. , There will be lots, of fun at this convention. It will be on the up and up. There won't be any sealed orders to be opened on the day out like at Chicago. A plcbescite of the defeated inhabitants will indicate that the best man didn't win, but the trimmed locusts will have the advantage of their 17-year relatives They can come back in four years 'for another meal.
