The representation of the States In
the national convention is based on
the highest vote cast in the elections
of 1892, 1893, 1894 and 1895. Kansas
highest vote was for Lewelling in 1892,
his vote being 163,507. Each State Is
entitled to one delegate for each Con-
gresham and United States Senator
and one for each 1000 votes, or major
fraction. On the vote Kansas gets
eighty-two delegates. 1t has eight
Congressman and two Senators, which
means ten more delegates, making the
total ninety.tWo. The call for the ma
tional convention only credits the
State with eighty two delegates. Who
ever made the figures for the Spp0r-
tlonment evidently neglected to add
the ten delegates at large.

The Hereford Sale, March 10 and 20.

The attention Of the reader is again called
to the great dispersion sale Of the Rock
Creek herd Of Herefords, which will take
place at BurliUgame, Usage county, Kas.,

closes that the 953 head Of registered ami

families and are as individuals worthy Of a
place in any "whlte-face" herd. The 300
high-grades will prove an attractive lot, as
