t jariy in ridiculing the accomplish
of the floorer A fl ministration
nd in favoring huge public worts
with a five-billion-dollar loan to put
the unemployed to work. Governor
Ritchie, of Maryland, also attended)
the banquet as a guest. He made his
formal hi.] for the nomination tin
night before at another dinner. Whi!
both Smith and Ritchie are consider
ed in the running, yet Governor!
' I'oosevelt b ?t.>ilv the most popular
el all tflb<e being mentioned to s |
eml Mr. Hoover. While hi' was not at ,
the Washington dinner, vet his
? -
lriendn were m.iny and vociferous, j
The Republicans claim there is only I
"lie j*)wiliilin that Mr. Hoover willj
not he nam. i| t7i<> candidate, and that j
''is the oil chamy that Mr. Coolidgej
*ill permit himself t-:> be drafted to
stem the rising tide of Democratic
Uftories that still persist in the by
elections. \\ it h ,-i strong running mate,
like, Hem ral Dawes, the Hoover .en

f'an ui"- 'if- l'??olidge is felt by many
1? bp the 'Hiilv man able'to wrest the

Inhibition still appears to be the
Mdst )?r< >mi Hciit of Jill the questions
'ho electorate will lw asked to de
?ide. The Democrats apjH'ar ready to
ri'-k their jxditical lives on the
issiio whil. many UepubUci/iS are
knowii' t,, wavering, especially
tliose win. are only politically bone
dry in.? jH-rsonally wet. ?
An cut in ly new an^le was injected
into this is-?e at the Jackson l>?y
hanrput when Chairman Raskob, of
'he Democratic National Commit te
submitted a plan for the National
t-?n V4- nt i ? -k's consideration for a
Twentieth Amendment to the Con-^
Ktituti',,,, whi?-li would permit all
States t,, (iecjile t'?r themselves wheth
er they v.uitld be wet or dry. His plan
falls fuv a referendum by popular
x"te UjHju which Congress would act.
Man';, Republicans favor a refer
fjnhmt iim outright appeal, a prin
ce which they feel the country
*?uld reject but would at the same
time el, ,4 a Republican slat<*, know
lnK that it eouldJ be depended upon
to '-any out the expressed wishes of
nation. Some shrewd men in

tfom a political standpoint.

TODAY and
| TOMORROW
(By Fr6nk Parker Btockbridge
Fraiklfe
5 1 got a letter the other day from
an organization which call* itself
"Thfe Benjamin Franklins. " Printed
09 the letterhead were the name* of
a hundred or ?o members, everyone
o| whom has the letters "B. F.M as
his first initials. Benjamin Franklin
h?s been <>ead 142 years, but parents
etill name their sons after him, and
in America they will probably con
tinue to do so till the end of time.
If I were asked to name the ono
man whost work, teachings and ex
ample have exercised the most en
during influence on the people of
the United States of America, I
would have no hesitation in naming
Benjamin Franklin.
Air
A firm of household furfiaoe man
ufacturer* has plut f>n the market
an air-conditioning system for use
in individual homes. If it works as
promised, the home of the future
will never have any open windows,
but the air will always lie fresh,
properly humidified and at a com
fortable temperature the year round.
I fully expect that the replace
ment of jfiesent heoting and ven
tilating methods by one or another
of the new air-conditioning systems
will he one of the biggest industries
iu the United States within two or
three years.
Exhibition. .
Next year Chicago will have a
World's Fair, the first in that city
for forty years, the first in America
sineo the rather inadequate Sesqui
centennial at Philadelphia in 1926.
In Europe tho .tendency is toward
permanent exhibitions of industries,
science and art and, beginning this
year, the city of Berlin is inaugurate
ing a succession of exhibitions which
are expected to draw hundreds of
thousands of visitors from all parts
of the world.
The modem idea, of an exhibition
ia to show how things are made, with
*h? BNwhieery actually - life* motion.
Kew permanent ihuseanis ean keep
that sort of an exhibit up to date.
That is why everybody who can
jKwsibly do so ought to begin plan
ning now to go to Chicago next
year, to sec what promises to be the
most complete and interesting exhib
ition that has ever been held.
Washinxton
Every time I go to Washington I
get a new thrill. I have known
Washington for more than fifty years,
sipce my parents took me there to
live in the spring of 1881. It was
a straggly, muddy, down-at-tbc-heels
sort of a place, surrounded by ma
larial swamps, fifty years ago. The
swamps have been filled in, made
into parks and beautiful boulevards.
The streets are the most perfectly
paved of rny city in tho world. The
buildings . which house tho govern
ment's activities ar,o among the most
stately and beautiful edifiees ou the
face of the earth. Instead of being
one of the most unattractive of
cities, Washington today i3 beyond
any doubt the most beautiful city
in America.. ^
