and we ought to decide, not in faction
al feeling or bitterness, but in high
party loyalty what the wishes of a ma
jority of the Republicans of this state
are, as indicated in their conventions.
1t ought to be our cOnsecrated purpose
to make the result of this convention
the expression of the party's will by
naming here the candidate who has de-
veloped the most general strength
among the Republicans of the state.
THE highest consideration of party
loyalty demands that we nominate here
today the man who has the most Re
publcans for him, and not some man
selected because he seems to possess
good ability to become a receiver for
syndicate which has been carrying too
much Watered stock
There is plenty of good guberna-
tOrial timber here. Shawnee is here
with her favorite son and I am proud Of
his abilities. Usage is here with her
favorite son, and he richly deserves the
conspicuous loyalty with which he is
being supported. Morris county is here
with her favorite son, and we all know
him and appreciate him Wyandotte
county is here with her favorite son
and his gigantic delegation of ardent
fighters No word may be said in
deroga ton of any of these favorite
sons. but there's a candidate in this con-
VentiOn who is a faVOrite son in a larger
sense than any of these. He's the fav-
orite candidate in this convention.
There are instructed for him in this
convention more delega teS than are in
structed for all these other gentlemen
added together. I've no desire to re-
vive the mathen atical problems of the
past three months. but I challenge you
with the declaration that in every single
county of this state there is a strong
and active sentiment for W. J. Bailey
for governor.
He has been in this contest no
longer than any of these other candi-
dates He has enjoyed in this prelim-
mary fight no advantage not given to
them all The fight has been fair ana
equal But the popular sentiment has
been so strong for him that he stands
in this convention a t this hour the
strong man in this fight and he is
called upon to demonstrate not merely
that he is the strong man but stronger
than all the others
The general strength Mr.. Bailey has
developed is proof that the Republicans

vember desire his nomination. The peo-

MR. COLES ELECTION.

The election Of George E. Cole for
temporary chairman at Wichita today
ended one of the most interesting and
intense contests for initial supremacy
ever held in a Republican state cOnven-
ton The triumph of the forces sup
porting Cole was regarded as settling
beyond the question of a doubt the
nomination of W. J. Bailey for COVER
nor. At noon it even looks as if his
name might go before the convention to
be decided upon by acclamation.
While the naming of Cole for the tenn
porary craftsmanship was regarded IS
settling the gubernatorial battle the
friends of Bailey considered his selec-
tion sure even had the opposition eff
fected first victory by a hundred votes
With Bailey heading the ticket the
Republicans recognize they have a
strong, popular, capable man of affairs
with experience in matters of state and
nation. a man who can talk and work
and with a reputation for integrity and
qualities that will give that party
leader upon whom they may depend
with confidence
At this writing it is not known
whether or not a handicap will be
placed upon the ticket by the nomina-
ton for treasurer of man against
whom the serious findings have been
brought by the Miami county commits
sioners against their former county
clerk. T. 7. Kelly. 1t is certain, how
ever, that the friends of Kelly made a
desperate struggle to defeat Cole, back
of whom were so many of those op-
posed to Kelly.

Cyrus Leland kept the exact votings
as county after county was announced

the victory he and his friends have won
in this battle with Senator Burton,
Chairman Mulvane, Frank Grimes and
that side.
A committee was appointed to escort
Cole to the platform. He was given an
ovation as he, with his trusty crutches
walked on the stage.
Shawnee cast her 80 votes for Greer,
Wyandotte 40 for Greer, Leavenworth
81 for Cole. Many of the county dele
