SunfIower State VIII Not Be
Overlooked in Contest.
HONORS ARE COMING QUICKLY
Charles F. Scott Asked to Speak
on Floor of sShOW."
Instead He Will Write in Ideas
on G.. o. P. Platform.
(sTAFF CORRESPONDENT

Chicago, Ill, June 5-Kansas side
stepped the hmeIight in the Repub-
lican national convention today when
Cha rles F. Scott of lola. delegate at
large, declined two invitations to
speak on the floor of the big show.
The former Kansas congressman was
invited to second the nomination of
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,, for
the presidency and to second the NOM
ination of Congressman Burke for vice
president.
There is still a chance for Kansas
in the big scramble since Scott is
slated for a place on the resolutions
committee. Scott is really a candidate
for this position. He has some posi-
preparedness and the tariff and will
make a fight for these principles if
appointed to the committee which will
write the national platform.
Scott believes the tariff should be
pushed further to the front. He based
his belief on the theory that the Dem
ocrats will seek to sidestep their weak
tariff policies and evade the issue of
protection to American industries un-
less the tariff is put well to the top
of platform.
All in Chicago Now.
Virtually all of the delegates were
in Chicago today for a chance in the
Dig pTO-COnNeHIlOn CTOWu dIIcl
noon the Congress hotel looked like
Copeland county in the old days when
the convention system was in its glory
in Kansas.
Nearly three hundred Kansans are
here for the convention. More are
coming Almost every county is rep
resented The demand for convention
seats breaks all records and many
of the visitors will see the convention
through the newspaper bulletin
boards.
1t is probable that Kansas delegates
will hold an informal meeting late to-
day and discuss their pre-convention
organization The first formal meet
ing of the Sunflower state delegates
will be held at Kansas headquarters
in the Auditorium hotel Tuesday
morning.
Fitzpatrick for Chairman.
S F. Fitzpatrick of Independence
is slated for the craftsmanship of the
fight became apparent today, how
ever when w. Y. Morgan of Hutchin-
son, lieutenant governor and a mem
Der of the big four, made known his
ambition for the Craftsmanship. Nor
gan is bound to Hughes. The
possibility that Fitzpatrick may vote
for Fairbanks on the first ballot and
later go to Root, Weeks or other ia
vorite sons, puts him in a position to
command votes and he is expected to
win the leadership of the Kansas dele
gates

who are attending the national con-
vention will probably attend the eau

CALL FOR WILSON
Los Angeles Wants Topeka's
City School Superintendent.
His Election Likely to Take
Place i'm Few Days.

H. B. Wilson, superintendent of To-
peka schools. may be the next superin-
tendent of those at Los Angeles, it be-
came known here today. Since the
appointment of superintendent l. s.
Francis of Los Angeles schools to the
head of the Columbus, Ohio, school
system the school board there has been
in communication with educators all
over the country. Mr.. Wilson has re-
ceived several letters from Judge o. S.
Bordwell. president of the board, ask
ing him to make a formal application
for the position.
81 am not an active candidate for
the position" Superintendent Wilson
said today when questioned concern
ing the probability of his being elected.
Il am entirely satisfied with my posi-
ton here. However. l have received
several flattering communications
from the board asking if / am avail
able for the position and urging me to
make a formal application. / sent
them a statement of my experience in
educational work, but beyond that l
have not pushed the matter
Los Angeles school affairs are in a
decided mix-up, according to the local
papers. A rupture between Superin-
tendent Francis and the board result
ed in Francis's accepting the Columbus
offer. Recently forty teachers were
dismissed by the board because of in
subordination- Feeling in the city is
divided between sympathy for Fran
els and approval of the action of the
board. According to information re-
ceived today Mr. Wilson has many
and Los Angeles school men and his
election is regarded as very probable.
The election of Francis's successor is
expected within a few days

RAIN STARTS EARLY
1t Was Expected to Continue An Day
and Into the Night

The tota' rainfall here today was
sixty of an inch. The
storm seemed to be over at 2 o'clock
this afternoon Reports from Dodge
City, Amarillo, Tex, and other points
south and west indicate that the
drouth that has held in southwestern
Kansas for more than a month has
been broken.
Temperatures mere today averaged
degrees below normal, but the tenn
pcratures for the afternoon were %
degrees below. The wind is blowing at
the rate of i 5 miles an hour from the
northeast The maximum velocity last
night was IL miles an hour at 4
O'Clock.
The sky was clouded over early this
morning and rain began falling at
7:04 o'clock After that time the pre-
cipitation was almost incessant and
was expected to continue all day and
part of tonight. The wind was blow
ing from the east and this nearly al
ways means more rain. Temperatures

viii Not Make a Decision for
Several Days.

An appeal to the United States su-
preme court, by the public utilities
commission, to set aside the order
made Saturday by the federal court
fixing 30 cent gas rate is probable
Such was statement made this
morning by John NJ. Kinkel, the only
member of the commission in the city
at that time.
A definite decision may not be
reached for several days, Mr.. Kinkel
stated later, after a conference with
Fred S. Jackson, an attorney, who has
aided the utilities commission in its
apparent losing fight Senator Joseph
L. Bristow, chairman of the commits
sion, will arrive in Topeka late this
afternoon and upon his arrival a con-
ference will -be held
I'VE have not seen a copy of the
order and one will not be received un-
til this afternoon" said Mr.. Jackson.
I'VE are not yet familiar with the full
text of the order and no doubt it will
take considerable time to decide upon
its fairness and effect.

NOTE TO MEXICO
President Drafting Reply to
Carranza's Ultimatum.
Will Reach De Facto Chief
Probably by Thursday.

Washington. June 5.-President
Wilson today began the draft of his
reply to the latest note from Carranza
demanding withdrawal of American
troops, or explanation of why the
United States should keep its troops
on Mexican soil. 1t is the administra-
tons present intention to have its re-
ply in Carranza's hands before the end
of the week-perhaps before Thurs
day, to forestall as much as possible
expected adverse criticism of the pres
ident's Mexican policy at the Chicago
convention. With the personal help of
Secretary Lansing, the president may
complete a rough draft in time for
cabinet consideration tomorrow.
That the troop withdrawal suggest
ed would be refused, seemed certain
That the refusal will convey to the de
facto government officials finality of
decision in this respect seemed also a
certainty. But the answer will be
couched in such terms as to leave the
Carranza government ample oppor-
tunity to keep itself right before the
Mexican public.
Border Peace Must Prevail.
Completely peaceful conditions be-
low the border, the note will state,
must prevail with some degree of GER
tainty that wholesale banditry and
lawlessneSs and raids on the American
side cannot recur
