No Inconsiderable number of t'e "old timers" ia tlo* r?n\< ntlon and on th?* old National Oiiuniitt''** \v? r* opposed to 11i?* Idea of liavinu two Ileprem-ntat l\4-s from eveij Mate. They Insisted it was just as logical to have a man Senator and a woman Senator, a man governor and a wo-i man governor. aad in t!??? last analy-, His. a man President of the t'nltedj States and a woman President. They] argued that if a woman is entitled , to one office just because slo* Is a ! woman, ihe should have ail equal ( claim to every ofTice in the land. The various state dehgatlons al-1 ready had met and elected the men I members of the new national com-! mlttei* when the convention adopted , the rule living tin- women equal rep resentation. Then they had to meet all over again to choose the ladies. Inasmuch as there is no "color line" drawn In the Republican party there was some speculation at first as to what complications might en sue in the South where a state might aelect a negro man as a member of the national comaiittee. It was ex plained, however, that this bridge already had been crossed. For a number of years Georgia has been represent??d by a negro. Henry Lin coln Johnson. When the national committee adopted the policy of per mitting women to become "associ ate" members of the committee, without a vote, the committee from Georgia named a negro woman to the place. This precedent apparent ly will be contlnu4>d now that tin* wo men have full powers on the com mittee. When a brief telegraphic dispatch appeared In the Cleveland papers an nouncing that President Coolidge had' been meeting with his cahim't in Washington, everybody in Cleve land wondered what was meant by j "Cabinet." There are ten members , of Mr. Coolldge's official family. Ex- j actly eight of them have been In! Cleveland this week. So If he really wanted to meet hla Cabinet, the ' President should have come to the convention city. The cabincU t'rs In Cleveland were the S?-cretary of the Treasury." Mr. Mellon; the Postmaster General. Mr. New; the Secretary of the Interior, Dr. Work; the Attorney General, Mr. Stone; the Secretary of Labor. Mr. Davis; the Secretary of War, Mr. \\v..tv?; the Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Wulbur; and the Secretary of Ai-rlcultiiie, Mr. Wallace. This lift only two Cabinet mem ber* lor th?- Presid* nt to play around with in Washingt?ni. to-wii: the S?-c tetarv ??f Stat'1, Mr. HiicIhh, and the Secr? tary of Commerce. Mr. Hoover. I'v< n Mr. Hoover wan present in Cleveland in spirit. f?? r his Vice Pres idential boom was one of the v? ry first to airive. The new Attorney General, Mr. Stone, was r? co;?nl/.? d bv compara tively few of I lie lobby crowds. On one occasion lie shook bands warmly with a Senator. When he had turned away, the Senator asked a newspa per man who the "stranger" was. When told it was "Just a Cabinet member," the Senator remarked. "Oh. yen," and nonchalantly let it go at that. Will H. Hays finally arrived at the convention Wednesday evening and was among those present on the very front row of the stage. As a former chalriiian of the national committee, | Mr. Ilavs was entitled to the privi leges of the convention and all the free entertainment he deslre<j. He, appeared happy to be Just an onlook-' er this time. Four years ago he was' spreading the gospel of the r,. o. p., with all the vim and vigor of a Hilly Sunday, plus a college cheer leader. Wllllatn Metcalf. the blind organ ist of the convention, complained bit terly today that he had never played to such unresponsive audiences in all of his life. "No snap to 'em." waft the way he expressed It. At the first evening session, which was decidedly a gala occasion to the thousands of spectators. Mr. Metcalf? strutted all of his best stuff. He put more Jazz through the pipes thaii: any one ever thought an organ ca-i pahlc of. He even played "Hail.j Hall, the (*ang's All Here" which' sounded awfully funny coming out of, an organ. He also played the "Side- | walks of New York,' but that's a Democratic t?uug and It didn't get a i hand. "Dixie" found a couple of! Southerners somewhere In the gal leries willing to give vent to their . approbation, but the rest of the se-J lections "ran for Sweeney." Great applause greeted the first, announcement by permanent Clialr-^| man Mondell that President Coolldge; was listening in at his radio sot at the White House. This Is the first | time in history that a President, or anybody else for that matter, could do that sort of thing. Every one! wondered if the President stuck to the ear phones all the time Rtpre-J tentative Henry Allen Cooper, of Wisconsin, was reading the La Toi lette platform to the convention and movlm; Its adoption as a substitute for the one Mr. Coolidge himself lia<l approved. If he did continue to lis ten in and didn't get too much in-! terference or static, the President, must have been fairly startled by t sotne of the radical proposals. Per-j haps he enjoyed the laughter which, greeted some of the proposed planks, and perhaps hi* approved of the ap plause which was given the vener able Mr. Cooper at his conclusion. The I .a Toilette party could not have picked a bett? r spokesman lor Its convention work. When Mr. Cooper arose to n ad the delegates of all til*- stated and territories ex cept Wisconsin "out of Hi** party" h? immediately w??n the re. |m*t and sympathy of the galleries and that was a uieat victory for a man in his difficult position. Already tin re had been plenty of calls to "throw "em out" every time there was a refer ence to the Wisconsin delegation 1 There were a few cat-calls at Mr. Cooper, but lie soon caught on and whenever Phil Campbell, of Kansas, the parliamentarian of the conven- ; tion, tried lo "shoo" Mr. Cooper closer to the radio microphones so his stufT would get across, the crowds mistook the move for an attempt lo ? t?*lI tin* speaker that his time was up. The galleries imme diately demand) d that lie he allowed to go on. Henry Alien Cooper is the patri arch of the House of Representatives at Washington. He is one of the old cle Joe Cannon, and Speaker Glllett. When the latter leaves the House to i run for the Senate. Mr. Cooper will ' he the oldest man in point of service 1 as well as In years, left in the leg islative chamber at the South end ofi the Capitol. He holds the respect i and friendship and tie- uood will of] all his f? llow member.**. e???er!tlMv those who have ?!i'i V'd l'in.:i st v i: ? him. It was certain that he was to receive every consideration in a con- : venti??n presided over by bis old ! Iri? ml ai.d former associate, Mr. ! Mondell. Mr. Cooper took occasion publicly, to thank "Frank" for his courtesy, r M Mary Franklin from tliej' Goldshoro Orphanage lias returned!! ufter visiting Miss Sallie Cobb, whoi is 111 at her home on South Road! street. 127 NORTH POINDEXTER ST.
