Dozed off in the seventh
Reporter-At-Large for The Savannah Daily Times.
PUBLIC AUDITORIUM, CLEVELAND, 0., June 12.-All
washed up and done. Both of us —I mean, the Republican na
tional convention and your faithful though frazzled correspond
ent, Marshal Otey Walker of the Old Home Town.
I’m awfully sorry that I didn’t shoot the word to you first
who was nominated but I met with a little accident that per
mitted the other press boys to scoop me.
My feet had been bothering me. And you just can’t cover
a political convention when your dogs are barking at you. So I
eased off my number elevens. It felt so good—you know, I must
have dozed off in the seventh inning—l. mean about the seventh
demonstration.
I must have snored because I awakened with everyone glar
ing. at me. The delegates must have thought I was giving them
the raspberry when they voted for their favorite sons.
Just as the final bailot began I started to look for my shoes.
I couldn’t find them. In the excitement somebody must have
kicked them away.
I began hunting frantically among the delegations. I asked
one state chairman if he had seen some shoes. .
“Sam Schultz?” he demanded. “You’re in the wrong dele
gation brother. Never heard of him—we’re for Landon.”
At that point a wild cheer burst out. Landon had been
nominated.
Well, it was hours before I could get at my shoe hunting
again. Finally everybody went home but me and a janitor.
I asked him if he had seen my brogans.
“Don’t look at me that way, boss,” he said. “I wears four
teens.” Then he left, too.
Now, Mr. Editor, if you will only wire me several dolors
for new boots I’ll be off for Philadelphia to cover the Demo
cratic national convention for you.
I need good shoes to protect my feet because I’ve got a lot
of hiking to do between Cleveland and Philadelphia.
You see I lost my railroad ticket, too.
(Don’t worry. Otey will be on deck in Philadelphia for the
next big convention. Watch for his first dispatch.)
ROOSEVELT CAMPAIGN
f O BE DIRECTED FROM
BILTMORE, NEW YORK
NEW YORK, June 12—The Demo
cratic National Committee will set
up campaign headquarters for the re
election of President Roosevelt in New
York City after the Philadelphia con
vention, it was said by persons in in
formed quarters here.
While the committee’s offices in
Washington will be kept open, the
main drive to continue Mr. Roosevelt
in the White House for another four
years will be directed from the Bilt
more Hotel in New York, where James
;' A. Farley, national chairman, will
have his headquarters with a large
staff, chief of which will be Charles
Michelson, one of the best known old
time New York newspapermen and
political expert.
In these same quarters it was said
that Mr. Farley and others high in
command of the Democratic Party
will center their eastern drive on car
rying New York and Pennsylvania,
holding that with these two states In
the Roosevelt column. Democratic
victory will be doubly sure.

Since we now are in the midst of

They are telling a good story about
Gary Cooper, the cowboy who went
to Hollywood to see what ali this
movie stuff was about, and stayed to
become one of the film industry’s
leading comedians.
Gary once had to play a role in a
movie which required that he wear
an old shabby suit. Studio wardrobes
usually are quite complete depart
ments, but Cooper is no ordinary man
and his legs are especially long.
Nothing could be found in the studio
to fit his measurements, so it became
necessary to send an assistant to a
second-hand, store to find a suitable
garment.
Some time later the assistant re
turned and under his aim was an old
blue serge suit, frayed at the elbows
and shiny at the seat. It was juat the
suit for the part, and it appeared the
right size.
Cooper's valet was getting it ready
to wear when he noticed a bulge in
a pocket.
“Look!” he exclaimed, “there’s
something here.”
He put in his hand and withdrew
a letter. Examination revealed that
it was addressed to no other than
“Gary Cooper, Esq.” Then Cooper
recognized the garment: it was one
he had discarded years before when
he was just getting a start in the
movies-
A friend of ours knows an old lady
who lives in constant dread that she
is suffering from a disease or is
catching a new one.
The other day a neighbor dropped
in for a chat. The conversation
finally turned to world affairs.
“Well,” said the neighbor, “I see
Mussolini’s got Addis Ababa.”
"Is that so?” said the old lady.
“I think it’s good enough for him —

ATLANTA, June 12 (TP)—Farm
ers throughout the East and South
grinned from ear to ear today as
they started! out to cultivate their
fields. Heavy rains during the past 24
hours have broken a serious drought.
Already sun-parched pastures are re
covering their green—and it appears
that millions of bushels of crops have
been saved.
More rain is needed to save all of
the crops—but the storms last night
helped. The first rains in weeks fell
in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and
the Carolinas. New York, New Jer
sey, Pennsylvania and southern New
England states also benefited.

We didn’t know newspaper men
were quit) eso dumb, but we are told
that this actually happened in a small
Ohio city.
A yoiuig reporter was sent to a
church to “cover” the wedding of two
prominent socialities of the city. The
wedding ha dbeen set for high noon,
but by 2 o’clock the reporter hadn’t
returned to the office, and his editor
was fuming.
Along about 2:30, past the deadline
for that day’s edition, the cub entered
the news room as nonchalant as you
please. The editor turned on him'
with fire in his eye.
“And where, ,my brilliant news
hound, have you been? 6 he shouted.
“Oh,” replied the reporter, calmly,
“I stopped in at the police station to
see if anything was doing.”
“But the wedding, the wedding—
what about that?” sputtered the edi
tor.
“Oh, that,** the reporter replied.
“There wasn’t any wedding. The bride
was there and everything was all set,
but for some reason the bridegroom
didn’t show up. So, there wasn’t any
store to get.”
(This is wisy we believe in justi
fiable homicide.)
