The convention was called to order
promptly at o'clock. There was con-
siderable confusion and the mace was
vigorously applied and time required to
bring the enthusiastic delegates to order.
The spectators space had no standing
room "to let" 1t was "sea OF faces,
truly as much of ''sea" SIS the Garfield
dimensions would allow. In due time
order was restored and The chair inquired
if the committee on credentials was ready
to report The chairman, Mr.. Howe, did
not seem to be present at the time and the
delegate workers ID the interest of friends
worked with the usual vigor. The dele
gates were nicely arranged; cards elevated
with name of ward or township repre-
sented by those surrounding it. The can
didates and friends had no trouble In
finding any delegation desired and to
certain extent the confusion decreased.
The vacant space on the stage was very
shortly occupied by delegates lat large"
and others who felt considerable inter-
ested in the work of the convention. w bile
it was not high mercury day the hall
was very near the uncomfortable point
and 'coats off" was not unfrequent. The
variety of cigars lent a peculiar tlnge 10
atmosphere and scarcely pleasant to the
slaves Of the weed.
After a suspense of fifteen minutes the
chairman of the committee on credentials
arrived and was called upon for a report.

out and after few more minutes OF delay
the report was submitted and is rs follows;
To the Chairman and Gentlemen or the hepuoNcan
County Convention:
Your committee on credentials beg leave
to submit the following report:
We find every township, ward and vot-
ing precinct of the county represented IN
this convention; that there are no contests
and that the gentlemen whose names are
contained in the lists hereto attached were
duly elected delegates from their respect.
i've townships and wards and are entitled
to seats in this convention.
Your committee find that by reason OF
the subdivision of the Third ward of the
city of Wichita into two voting precincts,
instead of one as heretofore allowed, said
ward is entitled to two delegates at large.
and we recommend that the delegation
from said ward be permitted to elect one
additional delegate to sit In this conven'
ton.
Your committee further recommend
that the delegates present from any ward
or township be permitted to fill vacancies
in the respective delegations or to cast the
entire vote of their delegations.
Respectfully submitted.
