Show BY WILL ROGERS. (Famous Oklahoma Cowboy "Wit and Goldwyn Motion Picture Star ) I am being paid to write something funny about this Republican convention. conven-tion. That's funny. All a fellow has to do to write something some-thing funny on a Republican convention con-vention is just write what happened. Chauncey Depew and I were about the last to decide to write. Chauncey has the advantage of inc. He knows his jokes aro good- 'cause he has told them for years. Tho convention Is starting out with a big setback. A carload of cham- nncriin fmm Cn 1 1 -!, lr k;u,i it. i cago for medicinal purposes was hold up. : In tho first place tho convention is i to. be held in Chicago. Chicago is . located just north of the United States. I am well acquainted with tho American Ameri-can consul there. Chicago holds the record for murders mur-ders and robberies .and Republican conventions. The Republicans had to hold their convention either in Chicago or New York this year as no other city was big enough to hold all their candidates. Mexico don't know how to get rid of Villa. Loan him to us for a vice president. That would get both nations na-tions rid of him. i i If the Republicans split as thev did eight years ago everybody better "start preparing to be kept out of another war. They don't know whether to scat the colored delegates or not. If they ','t do it will be far back near the door. ' f To show you true democracy will f rule ahe convention, the first thing r they did was to throw out two dele- I gates the people had elected. , JL tP The Democrats are investigating tho i Republican slush funds and If they I find where it's coming from they IS- 1 want theirs.
