Show 1 ' i As an entertaining: aggregation, the j f 1 Democratic convention did not quite t live up to the advertisements. 1 if , - L Great praise Is due those who excr- ji' : clsed admirable self-control In the con- i' ventlon and did not make speeches. f j.; i And yet some men, who appeared to i y 1: j be good. Intelligent citizens, came hun- ,i dreds of miles just to attend that con- j 'j ventlon!
