KANSAS CITY, Mo. June 1.-The
quadrennial struggle for tickets of ad-
mission to the Republican national
convention is on.
After all delegates and alternates and
newspaper men are seated in conven-
ton hall here June Il there will be
available about 1000 seats for specta-
tors as the Republicans go about select
ing their 1928 ticket and platform.
It has been estimated that already
demands for more than 100000 admis-
sion tickets have been received by heads
of various committees.
System of appointment.
If you live in Kansas City and gave
as much as Sl00 toward bringing the
convention to this city you get rear
seat for one session of the convention.
If you gave $500 you get better seat
for more sessions. Only those who gave
large amounts get season tickets-ur-
less, of course, one has influence with
a national committeeman or some other
power in the Republican organization.
Reservations in Kansas City hotels
have been Strengthened out after bit
of preliminary confusion Kansas City
hotel men listed with the Republican
national committee their available
space. The committee has turned back

Notwithstanding there is no scarcity
of hotel space in Kansas City.
Track Space Reserved.
Sixty reservations of space on rail-
road tracks are reported to have been
made for private cars which will bring
men of political power and wealth to
Kansas City. Some of the delegates
will live in the private cars throughout
the convention.
The fact that Nebraska and Iowa
farm leaders have called for a Coxeys
army march on Kansas City by farm
ers to demand platform action by the
Republicans may swell the crowd at this
convention to unusual proportions, but
it is pointed out by many that harvest
time will be approaching in Kansas
and Missouri and there is doubt that
farmers will swarm into the convention
city in the numbers predicted by some
of their leaders.
