.KANSASCITY
CONVENTION
IS SDEPI0REQ
Called Least Productive
Gathering Of Party
In Its History
BY SIDNEY GRAHAM

The 1928 national coniao OF the
Grand old Republican party IN Kansas
CITY. Mo, last week was not particu-
larly replete with thrills and surprises
II was more or less cut-and-dried affair
with the results tallying fairly wei
with advance notices and expectations
The usual excitement OF pieking the
presidential candidate was over before
it started. Opposition to Hoover was
weak and scattered from the start, and
was completely demoralizcd by thy
sudden withdrawal Of ex-governor
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, who quit
the race when the platform seemed
not to make adequate provision foi
the farmers. The platform, TOO, was
drawn up without a great deal OF e%-
citement. Most of the planks were
abstract and wordy, and with the eX-
ception of those dealing with agri-
cultural and prohibition questions
none of them occasicned a great deal
of debate. All in all, the convention
was run through in a hurry and The
delegates we're making reservations foI
their homeward trips almost before
they had unpacked their suitcases.
Black Man Ignored
Ono principal thing for which the
1928 convention of the Republican par
ty will be remembered. however, Is tho
manner in which the black man
the most reliable and faithful ally that
the party has ever known, was ignor-
ed, neglected and insulted at almost
every turn. 1t is the general opinion
throughout the United States that the
1928 convention promised less good &c
the black man than any that has even
gone before. "Lily-white delegations
from the southern states were consist
emily seated IN preference to the rep
.resentatives of the abused colored peo-
ple O. that section. Segregation wa'
openly and shamelessly practiced moi
