ter of fact. that county chairman will
be most fortunate IL he gets ten.
The convention itself promises to be
a short one. Three days is the utmost
limit, and it is barely possible u.at the
entire business may be transacted in
two. This would establish record,
for In recent years national conven.
tons have seldom adjourned earlier
than the third day.
1t is quite probable that the nomina-
ton for the first place on the ticket
will be made on the evening of July 4,
for sentimental If for no other reasons.
If the convention is called to order
promptly at 10 a. m. ON Independence
day, the organization can be effected,
the committees appointed and the other
preliminaries wound up before lunch
con time, so that an adjournment IN
til p. m. can be taken.
The afternoon would begin with the
report of he committee on platform
and the attendant speeches. Then
would come the nominating speeches,
and If Bryan should be named by ac-
clamation he could get there by even
ing to deliver Fourth of July speech
to the delegates and visitors.
On the second day the balloting for
the vice presidential candidate would
be taken up and later the remainder of
the business concluded. This would
leave the delegates a whole day for
sightseeing in the valley of the Kaw.
In the meantime the 100000 or more
visitors TO the convention city will be
participating in one of the biggest
