Satisfied.
BAILEY ON FIRST BALLOT.

Wichita, May 29--The night before
the assembling of the state convention,
the blocks the two street fronts of
the Carey hotel We're 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 represent ation- Old
time political workers, including such
men a Jake V 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 Leavenw orth
home.
Up to the time of the opening of the
convention there was sign of weak
ening of faith in final success exhibited
in the centers 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.
Newspa per men were in the city in
large numbers, many of them bein g
delegates, and it may well be a matter
of pride among the fraternity that
those who We're here took leading
parts in the grand drama.
Before the convention assembled the
auditorium was packed and there We're
crowds on the outside during the whole
time of the session, milling around in
the rain
