~ Ceorgians in The New York
- National Democratic:Convention
% By M#s. C. E. Brown
. The Georglh Delegation to the
. Deraocratic Cé’nvention in New York
‘met the first gime on Friday, June
20th at the Dg Soto 'Hotel in Savan-
Auah, as the ?;gests of Hon. Pleasant
p Stovall editor of the Savannah
Press. Heré we were entertained on
the broad porches at a most delight
ful breakfast, which was followed by
a ride thra the city and over the
tew pav.g(} road to Tybee. The Board
of 'rade furnished sufficient cars to
carry the entire party. They brought
us back to Savannah in time to
catch the boat at 3:30 for New York
¢ The passenger ship Montgomery,
carried us. It was in charge of a
{!ery‘ obiliging' captain who became
-quite attached to our party on the
three-day’s voyage.
] “The greatest source of interest on
the boat was six brides who were
very diverting with “their beautiful:
‘clothes, happy " faces and buoyant
Epirits. They were all quite talented.
iEvery one of them sang well and‘
furnished some delightful musie for
the entertainment o: the other pas
sengers. Another member of the
party who gave a great deal of pleas
ure was Mr. Sutton, Supt of the At
lanta Schools. He had the rare gift of
-&fiing a humorous story well and
kept the rassengers in an uproar
with his funny stories. He was Just
as’ good in his serious moods. On |
‘Sunday morning we held services on
board the ship and his talk on
“‘Prayer’’ was. the finest on the sub- |
Ject I have ever heard. |
- We had a delightful voyage, as the
gea was sa}lmg.‘hfid no one became
sitk. Before we reached our destina
tion on Monda;}' morning the novelty
having worn .off—the lapping of the
vg'éter became ;somewhat monotonous
‘and it was almost too peaceful and
;tfn;_ the inaetion became tiresome
and about ‘the most interesting fea
ture of each day’s rrogram was the
three gongs which came at the eyact
hour every day to announce break.
fast, lunch and’ dinner.
“iThe Statue ¢f ‘Liberty in New York
bay was quité.a welcome sight. Soon
Monday morning a small boat was
drawn up to meet us—sent out by
Mayor Hylan to bid us welcome. On
this boat the first persons to greet
us were our:‘good friends, Mr. and
Mrs. Gordon Bimgleton, who tried in
every way, &nake our stay pleas
out while in New York. On this boat
there was also the committee of 100
former Georgians whose business it
was to entertain the Georgia Dele--
gation. These good people who had
'moved to New York seemed very
glad to greet the new comers from
their former state and declared they
Wwere only New Yorkers by adoption
They met us with many cars and
carried us for a ride thru the princi
pal styeets, ;;;:olntlng oyt places of
most interest along the way. When we
landed in New York it seemed as if
the whole city ;itself were at the
wharf—never ‘have I saw so many
and such var}gd specimens of hu
manity. It seemed as if there were
gome of every kind in the world there,
especially (Chinese, It was explained
afterward that a large ship had just
landed them from an excursion.
The Georgig : Delegation which
numbered soitething over a hundred
men, women -and children, had
grown by this time quite well ac
quainted and before we separated
‘Ssome lasting friendships had been
formed. We were all registered on the
‘ floor of the Pennsylvania—New
firk’s largest hotel, altho not the
most hbeautiful. Other delegations
were also housed here and sometimes
‘made the night hideous with their
ybgh back and forth across the
courts, ‘“We Want Smidt,” which was
immediately answered by a defiant
yell from the-McAdoo forces. Finally
some exaspefit‘ed sleepy head would
yell, “Shut up there. Go to Sleep!’’
and sometimés other expressions not
so “choice or- refined slipped out on
the night air.
' New York Bad rut forth every ef
‘fort to give El'heir guests a welcome
and to do l_i_?n/self credit andf right
well she sucéseded. The ;streets were
literally aglow with the American
flag and these décorative colors
blended in all the shops and in ev
ery available place where decora
tions could be used. A vast sum must
have bheen expended in this way.
Bi I(xz the Ccavention got down to
‘serl%us business it was , entertained
ic many beautiful teasy Teceptions,
banquets, breakfasts, buffet suppers.
Ittu.ater parties and other events,
I The first night we were sent to the
immense Hippodrome—about the
largest in the world to a theatrical
entertainment. The next night we
were guests at the most elaborate
‘dinner ever held in New York so I
‘was told. I think it quite possible.
There were 360 tables with 3600
guests on the' list. This was quite an
‘exclusive affair with much red tape
attached. It was in the magnificient
‘ball room of New York’s newest and
most modern hotel, “The Commo
dere” In speaking of New York one
naturally falls into the habit of using
superlatives. Everything is on an im
mense scale, |
Senator George entertained us the
next night, his Georgia friends, with
an elegant dinner at the Waldorf As
itoria. This was perfect in every de
tail. Mrs. McAdoo entertained us
with a buffet supper at Park View
Hotel and Mr. McAdoo with a re
ception at the Vanderbilt. We met
Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo Miss Margaret
‘Wilson, Mr, Bryan, Senator Harris,
Senator George and many other kind
ly peorle. Celebrites got to be quite
common.
: Some of the delightful trips we had
were first to Oyster Bay, where we
went to Roosevelt’s grave on a hill
‘overlooking. his old home and then
down to “Laurelton,’’ the estate of
Louis Tiffany. “‘Laurelton” compris
es 1,800 acres of park land, heavy
with foliage and spring flowers. Mr.
Tiffany was an artist. The making of
‘‘Laurelton’’ into a thing of surpass
ing beauty was one of his chief oc
cupations. Here We were entertained
with a lovely reception by the charm
ing Mrs. Charles L. Tiffany. )
Of course we went to China town
and ate some of the Chinese food just
for the novelty, but it proved to be
ouite appetizing. We visited some of
the shops and one of the missions in
this section, - i
One should not go to New York
without visiting the Woolworth Tower
and to the church which Washington
attended so we went to both of these
as well as Coney Island. Grant’s
Tomb and Columbia University. We
also went to a reception at the fa
mous Tammany Hall, through the
Bellevue Hospital, the Public Library
which covers three city blocks and
contains 6,000,000 books and is a
sight worth seeing. We algo visited
Central Park and most wonderful
of all the Metropolitan ‘Art Museum
which would really take a week to
exhaust its wonders and we had only
a day. ¢
Another great treat was an inspec
tion of the largest ship afloat “The
Leviathan’’ which was captured
from the Germans in the late war.
Words can hardly do this beautiful
ship justice. It is indeed magnifi
cient.

We enjoyed all ‘the various means
of transportation employed in New
'York. ‘the Subway, Elevated Surface
cars, Bukes and Taxicabs {o say noth
‘ing of using one’s-feet to quite a good
advantage. Before the three weeks
were over we had become quite ex
rert in dodging traffic and here I
lwis_hv to commend most heartily that
"splefidid corps of policemen—some
}14200 who aided the pedestrians so
‘splendidly in the great throngs of
reople which lined the streets at all
hours—both day and night. Very few
accidents occur and it is wonderful
considering the heavy traffic here at
all times, .
Another specially delightful trip we
had that was enjoyed by the whole
‘delegation was a day up the Hudson
to West Point, This was taken on the
‘“Hendrick Hudson’’ The scenery
was perfectly beautiful along the
‘way and West Point was not only
beautiful, but interesting. The officers
very kindly showed the visitors thru
‘everything and after resting on the
lawnu to watch the Cadets drill, they
were ready.to return to the ship, hav-
Jng had a most thrilling experience.
‘There was one thrill after another on
this trir. Another day we had sever
‘al thrills when we went again up
‘the Hudson to the old Tilden estate,
‘now the home of Samuel Untermyer.
‘This time we went by land with the
river running parallel with us all
along the way. Our destination was
‘the Untermyer home where a great
repast of choicest foods had been pre
'vpared in the beautiful grounds sur--
rounding this home. Mere words can
not describe the heauty both in
‘matural scenery and artifical which
is to be found here. This was just
LOne of the best pictures to put away'
in memory’s store house that can hd
imagined. i ¢
The last night in New York we
went to the “Capital’”’ to a picturd
show. This is most heautiful and one
‘of the largest theaters in the world.
The convention itself was intense
ly interesting, even to a woman and
there were about as many women as
men there. 1t was at times thrilling;
even a calm, unemotional pers~
}cou]d not refrain from joining in the
excitement and sharing the enthu
‘siasm which seemed to be in the at
mosphere. The meetings were held in
Madison Square Garden which had a
seating capacity of 16,000. Every
available seat was always taken so.
‘there were at all times enough peo
‘_'r:-le to stir up some noise, This oc--
curred frequently. Interest ran high
‘about the time of the 66th and 67th
‘allot. Along at that time it looked
as if it would be an easy thing for
onr McAdoo man to be nominated. I
was proud of our Georgians—the
‘way they stuck so immovable and loy
‘al through all the long tiresome
‘hours. They did not give up until it
was apparent that holding out
further was foolish. I was so interest
ed I did not miss a single session dur
ing the time thru the 103rd ballot—
the longest, the record breaker of all
history so far.

Buile for Sleep
REPRESENT the best values it is possible to build. Their designs
are the result of many years of specialization in the production of
sleeping equipment. They are conducive to perfect relaxation and
comfort and combine every worth-while element of Bed Spring design
and construction developed to date.
The Simmons *Slumber King” Spring illustrated above, is a marvel
of comfort, resiliency. and splendid construction; a flexible steel slat
fabric.bed spring of unique, non-sag design that conforms scientif
ically to the weight of the body, is noiseless, durable and sanitary.
Come in and let us show you our complete
display of Simmons Springs, Built for Sleep.
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
"ated with thousands of flags—it
!seemed to me and made a beautiful
!setling for the Convention. I thought
'it the prettiest place I had ever seen
when I first went in, The first day
‘'they opened the top bunting and
showered the people with innumber--
able little silk falgs which were kept
as souvenirs.
" When Davis and Bryan were at last
selected to be the standard bearers,
it was quite a relief, for we were be
ginning to want to get back home, so
we immediately began to mak:
preparations to leave New York.
We spent one day in Buffalo and
it was indeed a treat once more to
see green grass and trees. This is
just one of the most beautiful cities
imaginable. It is so beautifully kept
[and laid out solely with an idea of
beauty. We drove thru the city from
one end to the other having a guide
to tell us of all the places of inter
est. We saw the place where Me-
Kinley received his death wound
‘and the house in which Roosevelt
took the oath of office after McKin
ley’s death. £
' The culmination of all our pleas
ant experiences was the last. It was
the cream of it all. We left Buffalo
in the morning went across Lake
Erie and spent the day at Niagara,
Our guide with his car went with us
80 that we did not get fatigued and
were enabled to see and understand
it all. This is indeed the grandest
work of Nature I have ever seen or
ever expect to see. Here one comes
close to God and is obliged to ac
kiiowledge his majesty and power.
'this sight is sublime. We saw the
falls from every angle—going thru
the passageway and under the Horse
Shoe Falls. The scenery around here
is beautiful beyond words. One can
not but be impressed with the fact
that ‘“God is here.”’ !
We returned to Buffalo, took a
gleeper and were at home. in an in
creibly short time—having made the
trip from Buffalo to Cordele in 32
hours, changing cars only one time.
