tion of the next annual Republican
party banquet, officers of the club de-
cided at a conference in the National
hotel today. ]. s. Dean was selected
to tell Of the stand taken by the Taft
followers, while Robert Stone will de-
hne the 1912 attitude Of the Roosevelt
supporters who bolted the nominee
OF the Chicago convention but remain
true to the Republican faith.
The speeches of the two well known
Topeka lawyers-Dean, the advocate
OF the old traditions of the party.

publican factions in Kansas.
Olson Guest of Honor.
Judge Henry Olson. chief justice of
the municipal court of Chicago, will
probably be the guest OF honor Of the
Kansas Day club. Henry d. Easta-

go to a Third district man, although
his name will not be announced for
several days.
One place on the speakers list will
be reserved for q Kansas woman, but
club officers have not made final ar
rangements for this toast and the
name of the first woman speaker at
the annual dinner Of the Republican
club will be withheld for the present.
Including the presidents address,
there will be but six speakers on the
1914 club program. In former years
eight or ten speeches have been pro-
vided for on the program, but last
year the number was reduced and the

and allowing them more time on the
program, will be followed out by the
present officers of the club.
