REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
A Full Ticket Named And All Were
Satisfied.
BAILEY ON FIRST BALLOT

the Carey hotel were packed with
milling crowds. Central committee
Headquarters and those of number of
the candidates before the convention
are there, making that corner the
center of political interest for the state
of Kansas, and scarcely township of
the state lacked representation. Old
time political workers, including such
men as Jake " Admire, of Kingfisher,
Okla, could not stay away. One face
and form was missed, which had not
been absent from state convention
before for 40 years. Poor old Jim
Legate was dying at his Leavenworth
home.
Up to the time of the opening of the
convention there was no sign of weak
ening of faith in final success exhibited
in the ccnters of interest of each of the
prominent candidates. All faithfully
argued that their man was sure to win.
This is certainly the largest attended
convention ever assembled in Kansas,
and the rain of Tuesday night and
most of Wednesday did not cool the
ardor of the contesting forces.
Newspaper men were in the city in
large numbers. many of them being
delegates, and it may well be matter
of pride among the fraternity that
those who were here took leading
parts in the grand drama.
Before the convention assembled the
auditorium was packed and there were
crowds on the outside during the whole
time of the session, milling around in
the rain.
Gen. Cole, state auditor, was made
temporary chairman by the first bal
lot, which gave him majority of 20
on vote of 1925. The opposing can
didate was Il. p. Greer, of Winfield.
Chairman Cole made the shortest
speech on such an occasion on record.
