SLdniGy Is out IOT an unlnSLTuCteQ
delegation to the next Republican ma
tional convention. He is working,
so, to land the big political powwow
ior Kansas City.
Fnvor Free Delegation.
In view of the fact that a half
dozen favorite sons and possibilities
are being discussed for the presiden-
tial nomination in 1920, Stanley be-
lieves Kansas should stay in the clear
and be in a position to get behind the
strongest man and the winner in the
fight. An instructed delegation al
ways goes to a convention with its
hands tied. its value and effectiveness
are also destroyed. in the judgment OF
observers. unless lightning should hit
! the candidate who received the bene-
! fits of Instructions. A majority OF
! party leaders who have gone on rec
ord favor a free-reined delegation.
Asked today if he would be a candi-
date for a third term, Stanley hes
! itated a minute.
Well. I think so.r he replied. Be
yond that he would not discuss the
national committeemanship. He was
! emphatic, tho. in declaring ror a free
! 1920 meeting place. He also asserted
that he believed Kansas City had a
good chance to win.
Hard Fight Three Years Ago.
! Three years ago Stanley was re
( elected after a strange and unusua
fight Hundreds of Kansas Repub.
| licans had assumed that d. w. Mul.
yane of Topeka, former committee
man, would be a candidate for the of.
! flee. J. r. Burrow. Topeka banker
was an avowed candidate.
! In the congressional district conven.
tions. the fight was made to selec
anti Mulvane delegates. When tn,
state convention was called for Tope
ka. the result of the fight was il
doubt. The night before the conven
ton, Mulvane issued a Statement
thanking his opponents for their inter
est and assuring them he had never
been a candidate. He had gone thrl
the battle without saying a word. H,
had taken the assaults of polftica
enemies with smile. Mulvane and
his friends had simply outplayed tht
opposition Kansas sent a delegation
to Chicago. that was bomb proc
against any boom for the late Col
Theodore Roosevelt and Stanley wa
reelected with Mulvane support TIL,
adroit play gave the Mulvane force
absolute control of the delegation ant
the Topekan who had offered himsel
as the living sacrifice in the campaign
held ali the cards.
The national committeeman is elect
ed by the votes of the delegates to tn
national convention. II the Stanle,
plan is approved in Kansas--and /
now seems certain of successful
state will send uninstructed delegate
to the convention and the Wichit
man may win without a struggle.
