the House library. who has Just returned
frcm the congressional convention in the

of the strongest districts. The following

Genial Bob Gordin of the ST. Mary's
district fourth had no trouble in securing
a denomination at the hands OF his demo
cratic friends. The story of his peacock tie
that you newspaper men so gieefully cir
cuiated IT is claimed aided his canvass.
David Meekison (fifth) will have to fight
to gain another denomination at the hands
of the democratic convention. He is in
rocky water and the shrewd ones say he

the delegation
The seventh district had a bulldog fight
at London. Ohio. lasting for three days and
nights. In the end Thomas B. Kyle, law
yer Of Troy, Ohio. was nominated and the
present member, Walter l.. Weaver, de-
feated. Representative Weaver was very
close TO a nomination at all times in the
fight. and had 1O2 votes al his command
first and second choice of the delegates
whenever he wanted TO use them. 1t took
1O4 votes votes 70 nominate and the two
needed could not be obtained. When he
and his friends became convinced that his
nomination was impossible he handed his
sixty-one votes to Kyle. who had 81 all the
time from his home county. Mama, and the
nomination was made. Kyle is all
around good fellow. with standing at his
local bar. an effective stumper, popular
singer and ace high as a Shriner Repre-

committee No. and IS great favorite
with the soldiers of his district. He made
more than state reputation by the game
fight he put up against the combined forces
OF Governor Bushnell and the democracy
two years ago. Ills defeat is regretted.
inasmuch as he held one Of the important
ehairmanships of the delegation.
Keifer Refused All Overtures
Zone Of the picturesque figures Of this
convention was ex-Speaker ]. Warren Kei-
