one committeeman. and the eight

The Second district meeting prac-

PRELUDE TO A STORM.
That appears to Be the Weather Stu
alton Today.

While the weather today is not of the
beautiful hand painted variety which
has been the rule during the entire fall
and winter the day is not at all un-
pleasant, although the sun is not shin
inc and the heavens are obscured by
dark clouds. According to the weather
department the indications may be ta-
ken to mean that there will be rain or
snow today or tonight with a falling
temperature, and possibly all three. Fair
and warmer weather is again promised
for Thursday with a continuation of
that brand of weather for the succeed
ing . hours.
Just enough snow remains on the
ground in protected spots to indicate
that there was a trace of winter last
week with a slight fall of snow, but
there is nothing in the temperature to
indicate that winter with her rigors has
visited this section of the country.
There is hardly a breath of air stir
ring at the noon hour today and there
is no trace of the falling mercury which
is promised in it.

a March convention should be held:
others a May convention, and still
others an October convention. The
number of men who want an October
convention is surprisingly large. They
put up the argument that Kansas
should be given a short campaign
once, to see how it works. Many 9th
er states hold conventions in October
and the advocates of that date in Kan
sas say they believe it would prove
very satisfactory here. Personally Z
have reached no opinion ye- as to
what date I favor. I understand that
most of the candidates would prefer an
early convention. I don't even know
