STREET SWEEPERS
CAPTURE SPOTLIGHT
Cleaners Follow Departing
Delegates TO Dress Up"
Kansas City.
BY BRIAN BELL.
Associated Press STAFF Writer.


KANSAS CITY. June 16.--The Re-
publican convention Is over for every
body but the street sweepers.
The delegates, who for four days tried
with varying success to find their seats
in Convention Hall are on their way
home after nominating Herbert Hoover
and Charles Curtis for President and
Vice President The Kansas Senator was
nominated on the first ballot at the
brief final session yesterday afternoon.
The vote was 1852 to "a This was later
made unanimous as a roaring welcome
went up for the majority Senate floor
leader.
Kansas City, to which conventions
are no novelty. Is returning rapidly to
its usual everyday tasks and watching
the street cleaners sweep up the few
evidences left of the great political
gathering. The shouting is ended, but
the arm bands. hat bands and brass
bands, candidates photographs and rec
concentrations linger until the white
wings can do something about it. Plain
and fancy sweeping is going on apace
and nightfall will find the convention
city quite itself again.
Hall Changes Dress.
Before the first home going delegates
were on their way to the station the
huge Convention Hall changed its dress.
Out came the c. o. P emblems, deco
rations and the stands.
Hotel lobbies which have had no one
way traffic signs for a week as crowds
moved constantly about but not going
anywhere, were filled last night and
this morning with visitors on their way
out. Bellboys, who have had nothing
to exercise but their voices and feet as
they PACED hundreds of persons nightly,
found use for their hands as they car
ried bulging bags to taxicabs. Judging
by the looted appearance of Hoover and
Curtis headquarters, many of the bags
contained pictures Of the candidates
for President and Vice President.
Today found all the campaign head
quarters deserted. the jubilant Hoover
workers and hardly less pleased Curtis
boosters well content TO call 1t a day.
Those in charge of the headquarters Of
the other candidates had been prepared
for several days for the disappointment
they carried away with them.
Die-Hards ReconciIed.
Even the die-hards and bitter -enders
seemed reconciied to the turn of the
events after 1t was too late to do any
thing about it, Great ticket" was the
satisfied verdict of most delegates as
they removed their badges and stored
them carefully away. One man said
his was to be handed down to pos

tel workers as the visitors departed. A
maid at one hotel was smiling with
relief as elevator after elevator filled
with delegates passed her floor. She
wore q worried look, too, and one hur-
rying delegate stopped TO ask about 1t.
I'm for Curtis" she said. And /
am not sure he can beat Hoover"

INDIANS SEE GAIN
IN CURTIS TRIUMPH
Head of Bureau Here Tells
of Inspiration In Sena-
tors Career.

The selection of Senator Curtis of
Kansas to be the vice presidential
nominee for the Republican party at
the November elections today brought
Joy TO the Bureau of Indian affairs OF
the Interior Department. Comnis-
Sioner Charles II. Burke, who served
with Mr.. Curtis when both were men,
bers of the House, authorized a state
ment declaring that the friends of the
Indians are particularly elated over
his nomination.
Senator Curtis is q member Of the
Kaw tribe and the rolls Of the Bureau
Of Indian Affairs show that he Is a
quarter Kaw. His son. Harry K. Curtis,
Is one-eighth Kaw, and his daughters
Mrs. p. G. George and Mrs. Leona c.
Knight, are also one-eighth Kaw In
dians
Commissioner Burke said today that
when addressing the Indians over the
country he uses Senator Curtis as an
illustration of what an American boy
can do and the fact that he is an In
dian does not eliminate or disqualify
him for preferment.
Worked for Education.
II think Senator Curtis is one of the
outstanding instances of an American
boy rising TO high position and making
a success of life," Mr.. Burke said. He
acquired his education, In large part,
unaided. His success is due to his in
ltiative. energy and ability. personally
hold him in high regard

OF the Indians are particularly elated
over his nomination.
During his congressional service Sem
ator Curtis has always taken an active
and leading part in helpful legislation
for the Indians of the country and has
been steadfast in opposing undesirable
legislation or efforts on the part oi
those who seek to take advantage oi
the Indians" Mr. Burke said.
Contrasted With Lodge.
During his service In the House Com.
missioner Burke served as a member
from South Dakota. He recalled today
that in talking To the Indians he re-
minds them of the contrast between
Senator Curtis and the late Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge. 1t was high CON-
,plinent TO Senator Curtis, Mr. Burke
pointed out, to have the Kansas Sena-
tor selected as Republican spokesman
in the Senate to succeed Lodge-a man
who had all the advantages Of wealth
and culture

the White House to the Capitol to be
inaugurated as President of the United
States, Mr.. Burke said. his escort both

that the Convention Hall in June would
