Colonel Jack Shu IT of Cincinnati, one of the oriuinal Jitmnle Cox men in 1 1> 2 0 and just as enthusiastic for the former governor, has composed n lo w song. It is sunt; to the tune "The Old Cray Mare, She Ain't What She Used To He," and it runs something like this: "If you would search my once fat pocketbook : ?'Once fut pockotbook; "Once fat pocket book; "If you would search my once fat porKeioooK ; "You wouldn't find a durn cent there." Members of the state deb'uations instructed for McAdoo have been re ceiving slo-afs of telegrams from home tFtttng'them "to "stick fast" and not to give up the shin. The ~ Ti'VitH delegation in particular has been bombarded with the messages. One of the telegrams received by a Lone Star delegate contained a con fidential postscript which said: "We will send you a lot more telegrams if you think they are ueedcd." The delegate sent a heated and pertinent reply: "Krep your telegrams," he said, "but send us the money." Senntor Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama has an encouraging sup port in the pallerles. Every time the Alabama delegation starts a new ballot rolling with the familiar cry "Twenty-four votes for rnderwood" the pallery god cries out witli glee7 "Come on, Oscar." ~ JlMiillo Gerard, the ? formr-r ? am- i hassador to Germany who has been i having things pretty much his own way us the Ih-nu Hrumtnell of the convention, has his nose out of joint at last. The honorohle Jim Ham Lewis of Illinois is back in his place Just across the aisle from Ambassa dor Jimmie and the effulgence of his costumes throws the New Yorker In to the shndows of sartorial despair. And here's a very Important note for all the pa ragra pliers: Jim Ham's in ternationally known whiskers can sfairely lTr"TlnsKnd"nK pink any morrvi They are tinged with an unmistak able gray and the effect In the spot s' light is almost one of silver rather] ^ than the once famous sunset glow. Time will take its toll, e\ of such ! an 'evergreen spirit as Jim Ham. During the last few days Joe Tu multy, former Secretary to President Wilson, has been seen conferring with delegates of the convention floor. Joe's home state of New Jer sey has been voting solidly for A1 Smith ever since It' Rave Governor Silzer, of the Mosq'uito State, a few complimentary ballots. Volunteers c6hslnlltly are belntr rushed to the chairmnn'n desk as re lief workers for the hard pressed reading and tally clerks. The con fusion and cro wiling In the Tin 11 have made the work of these officials ex tremely difficult and trying on the nervous system almost "next to Im possible for the clerks to hear the replies of the states and In order to make themselves heard tliev have to stretch their voices to the limit. The sepulchral voice from Texas has helped out on a number of occasion" and it has been a godsend. Tesas also has furnished the only real re liable "rebel yell" heard In the con vention. The author of this yell gives a whoop every time a vote is announced for McAdoo. What the Democrats aptly * need are a few smoke-Oiled rooms In a headquarters hotel where they can get together and flOnpOM their dif ferences as to candidate*. The dif ficulty about the Democrats emulat ing the example of the Republican* In this respect, Is that William J< tu nings Bryan does not smoke.

The most sepulchral voice in thei convention belong* to a long tall Texan, who occasionally announces] the vote of that. delegation for Wil-I j I ia til (lihbs McAdoo. The voice al-i , ways sets a hand. In the last day | or two the "loud speaker" voice has! I been identified as that of State Sen ator John Davis, of Dallas.

In this connection as in many nn-| other, Alabama has dimmed the | freshening hope of other candidates by persisting In casting her vote for Oscar W. Underwood. Some one asked Victor Hanson of the Alabama! delegation how long they were going to stick to the Senator this time. 'M'ntll October, if necessary," re > plied the Birmingham editor with a determined look in his eye. The Alabamans have insisted from , the first that Senator I'nderwood was* the "logical choice" of the Dera- 1 ocracy. j HAD LIQl'Oi: DIUNK IN ( FXKItlt.vriOX FOl'HTII , Illicit liquor played some part in J the celebration of Independence Day i in and about Elizabeth City, judging' by the number of cases involving some infraction of the Turlington | Act Up for trial before Trial Justice j Spence Saturday.
