KANSAS CITY IS
ONLY BIDDER FOR
Big CONVENTION

Washington, Dec. 5.-Members OF
the Republican national committee
are hunting for offers from all corners
for the national convention next sum-
mer. Thus far they have been able
to locate but one definite proposition,
that Of Kansas City, Mo.
Harry S. New, acting chairman Of
the committee. has been In oonsulta-
ton with representatives of various
cities in the middle west with view
of holding the convention in a more
central point than Kansas City. Few
OF those who have arrived thus far
are in favor of going to Kansas City,
and II other arrangements can be
made there is little chance that the
convention will be held west Of the
Mississippi river.
Should the committee decide on
Kansas City 1t is probable that the
convention viii be held about June /.
On the other hand. there is decided
opposition against holding the con-
vention so early In the summer,
owing to the depressing effect the
prolonged campaign may have on
business. y

this afternoon by drinking a quart

and she recovered entirely from the
effects In few hours.
The woman broke down when the
clerk read the sentence and was car

to pacify her by telling her that If
she would be right good at NE peni-
Tertiary her sentence would not last
more than eighteen months, but the

possible higher service for the future,
that suggestion must rest upon such
foundation as my public record and
wishes of Pennsylvania Republicans
supply" He closed his speech with
the declaration: "The Republican
party will name the next president
of the United States, and its choice,
wherever it may fall, will receive
