reciprocity I'm the House and has been an
earnest advocate of the nomination OF
President Roosevelt, whereas Senator Bur
ton, who opposed Bailey, has antagonized
the President sharply In the matter OF APP
pOintments and with regard to Cuba. The
platform as adopted contained a Roosevelt
plank even stronger thanNthe one originally
drafted and expressed the wish OF Kansas
Republicans for the Presidents renomina-
ton.
The friends of Mr.. Bailey controlled the
convention from the start and began by
electng as temporary chairman George i.
Cole, who said, I'm taking the chair: Let
us bury all our differences; let do all
our fighting against the enemy; let Us be
Republicans: let us indOrse thoroughly

care OF my campaign, for we viii stay
there until IL has passed and President

cheered and cheered again. Long stood
still while the delegates shouted.
Your hearts are right" he said smiling
ly. Il told President Roosevelt when 1
left Washington that Kansas was with
him all the time, and think he will know
1t as we do now. Roosevelt is right now
and he always was right. He is right be-
