Heretofore, it is explained. League leaders wno were sche duled direct the actual work of the conventions have been worn to a frazzle in advance by $lie neces sity of themselves looking after all the arrangements details. Wo men orators, expected to sway the conventions with their elo quence, have mounted the platform hoarse and exhausted from the strain of arguing .pleading and co ercing baggagemen, printers, hotel manugers, decorators .entertain ment! committees and all the doz ens of others whose efforts are necessary for a convent.on’s suc cess.

Gets More Than Sued For v- BALTIMORE, Md*—A- .luJy. 'in' superior court'hepo Friday thought Mrs. Hagerty was humiliated to such an extent that they awarded her 1600 more than she asked in her suit against tsador Lakeln, n jeweler. Mrs. Hagerty alleges she purchased a ring from Lakejn and when aho went to the establish ment to tell him It was not what it was guaranteed to be, she was ■cdected forcibly. She sued for 61,080 and was awarded 81,600. After these experiences. League’s executive Commute de cided that ut the nos Mofnes con vention no such weary work should l>e premitted to sap the energies scheduled for headline prominence, and dull-the inspiration of those Somebody else would have to be— well, "the goat.” Perhaps they said "convention manager,'’ but anyway they meant the same thing. Tho ability in organization and handling detail displayed by Bliss Hite In managing the campaign for tho election' of Judge Flor ence Allen of Cleveland to the Ohio supreme court’ immediately mark ed her for the job. And she grabbed it, eagerly. For that’s Just the sort of variegated, high- pressure job the little, black-haired Buckeye woman likes. LOTS OF EXPERIENCE.

Then she became, organls- d financial secretary of tho Dayi _ soewtion ther'S'ahd cffgarilzee for the state of Ohio. After the suf frage victory, she was executive secretary of the Qlrla' City' Club of Cleveland.
