SAN FRANCISCO, June 28.—Jim

California, is playing host to all the
big bugs of the convention at his
ranch down the peninsula. The sen
ator has spent a fortune fixing his
place up like a Roman villa and one
of the prides of his classic existence
there is the big out-of-doors baths,
just like the Roman senators
used to splash about in. The sena
tor has been advised not to hang his
toga too far away from the pool when
he takes a dip. for William Kent’s I

Mrs. Ellis Meredith, delegate to the
Democratic National convention, here
who claims to have attended more
conventions than any woman demo
crat, says the most uncomfortable
one was at Kansas City in 1900 when
they had to buy cheese and crackers
at the corner grocery to keep from
starving.
“It looks like this is sing to be
the most comfortable- —for the wom
en anyway,’’ she said. “As for the
men —well, here’s the hideous truth,
the men here simply don’t know what
to do with us. We’r going to perme
ate this convention, ut the men don’t
know whether we’ll do it like attar
of roses or like moth balls.”
