KANSAS CITY. June 13.--If you are
interested in Vice Presidents and such
things you will perhaps be interested
in this convention.
Nobody in the history Of conventions
ever saw a convention start out and end
so quick.
A man that couldn't even get into the
United States Senate arrived here the
evening before the convention opened
and announced who ne was for and
they started paying off.
Mellon come here with the Pennsyl-
vania delegation, and there his au-
thority ended. Mellon had the money.
but Ware had the votes.
The allies stopped Hoover" they
stopped him from being Secretary Of
Commerce.
II you haven't had a room to stay in
while here. you can get one now. There
Is six candidate headquarters that are
TO be sublet.
Prayer for Convention.
The convention opened with a prayer
a very fervent prayer that AL Smith be
not nominated. 1t was keynote prayer
Ii the Lord can see his way clear TO
bless the Republican party the way Its
been carrying one, then the rest of us
ought TO even get 1t without asking
for 1t.
Then they brought on Simeon D
Fess (be careful how you spell that
or you will confuse the name with
evolution). He delivered what is called
the keynote speech A keynote speech is
press notices Of the Republican party,
written by its own members.
Here are just few of the things that
! bet you didn't know the Republicans

KANSAS CITY. June i3.-With only
one exception. the decisions of the Re-
publican national committee on con-
. tests for delegates seats in the conven-
ton were ratified by the credentials
committee. which completed the hearing
OfaaupealS today shortly before dawn.
One after another, representatives of
contesting factions from Florida, Louis
tana. Mississippi and Texas argued their
cases. and when 1t was all over only
the ratification of q subcommittee ac-
ton In seating both factions of the
Porto Rican group remained, and this
was to be carried out later in the day, In
accordance with a previous ruling.
The committee struck its lone stum-
bling block in the Porto Rican contest
and finally appointed a subcommittee
headed by Walter II. Brown of Ohio to
hear both sides. Its ruling was to seat
both the two elected and two contesting
delegates. all Hoover supporters, and
give them half a vote each.
Wisconsin Fight Won.
A. new contest involving the seat of
Lieut.. Gov. Henry A. Huber of Wiscon-
sin was presented. but his right to the
seat was sustained unanimously on
viva voce vote. B. L. Marcus of Mus
coda fought recognition of Huber on the
ground Of irregularisy in counting of
ballots.
Practically all Of the 81 convention
votes involved in the appeals are ex-
pected to be for Hoover on the first
ballot. The Commerce Secretary'S
strength was apparent in the committee
on the few issues raised as between
Hoover delegates holding the seats and
anti-Hoover or uninstructed delegates

Every roll call vote found from 80 to

Mrs. WiIIebrandt Forceful
The chairman Of the committee was
Mrs. Mabel Walker WiIlebrandt, AS
sistant Attorney General, and an.ardent
booster Of the Commerce Secretary.
She kept the committee members on
their toes throughout the long day and
night hours OF the debate and voting,
Bdilering strictly. to parliamentary law
and banging the gavel violently each
tiHne the necessity arose.
The biggest fight came over seating
the entire group Of 26 Texas delegates.

Fashion note: Red on hats is popular
this June. AS far as can be determined
at this hour, no ladies, except the lady
ushers, have removed their hats.
Mrs Mabel Walker Willebrandt. the
comeIy Assistant Attorney General, sits
on the first row of the California dele
cations seats, very near this seat In
the press section During Senator
Fess' speech yesterday, Mrs. Willebrandt
leaned over and winked very broadly
at another member of the California
delegation. But the point in Senator
Fess' speech which conceded with the
wink win lie forever buried In the
breast Of this particular reporter. Such
Tirks should be regarded as confidential.
Slow 10 Get Started.
The convention was not as prompt
getting started today as Yesterday. Al
l0:37 O'Clock Senator Fess, temporary
chairman. came out on the speakers
platform and began TO rap for order.
The hoor was seething mass of cele-
gates trying to get seated. The lights
went on, the Kleigs began to sputter.
Senator Fess stood alternately rapping
with the gaVei and saying: THE con-
yention viii come to order" but this
was much easier said than done.
Order was not obtained until a large
clergyman began to deliver the inyoca-
ton. Then the audience rose. The
prayer was read and the clergyman did
not lift up his arms as was done yes
terday. because the clergyman had to
hold the prayer in both hands. 1t was
long prayer. The press box stood up
when II began, but when It continued
on and on the typewrtters began TO
click furiously. Even the kleig lights
had long since ceased sputtering when
II was over. Secretary Mellon regarded
the clergyman intently throughout the
invocation. looking very mild and peace
full.
The Utah delegation invited the dele
gates to visit the greatest mining
State" In the Union. There was some
applause. Announcements were read.
The smokers were admonished.
RoOsevelt's Name Cheered.
Senator Fess warned that the con-
vention was to meet on time hereafter.
lie then apologized profusely for not
having mentioned Roosevelt In yester-
days keynote speech. He therefore told
about the construction OF the Panama
Canal and other accomplishments.
When the climax was reached and the
name of Mr.. Roosevelt mentioned. the
delegates cheered They later rose to
their feet and cheered. The kleig lights
came on and they sat down.
The band played America" and the
audience more or less joined in. Sena-
tor Fess suggested the band play some
thing else while the convention waited
for the report of the credentials COM
mittce TO arrive. The band played a
march. The talk in the hall became a
roar. The delegates began milling
around. The smokers. forgetting the
admonition, lit up. 1t was lots more fun
than speeches, anyhow.
The minority report Of the creden-
tials committee was delivered with some
heat by Daniel Hasting OF Delaware.
and while 1t Is to be seriously doubted
whether the delegates knew exactly
what his argument was all about. a good
many Of them applauded him vigorous
ly when his voice became dramatic. Mr..
Hasting was really getting nicely warm

KANSAS CITY. June l3.-Exhibit-
ing feverish excitement comparable
to the tense expectancy manifested by
literary society at Shakespeare
reading, 1000 delegates, their alternates
and the honored guests gathered be-
meath the hospitable roof Of Convention
Hall this morning for the second ses-
sion OF the Republican national con-
vention.
II there were wildly beating hearts,
they we're we'll muffied, and II there
were trembling hands. the twitching
was not due to any gigantic mental
struggles over the probable nominee Of
the Republican party. The delegates
who took their seats In the hall TO the
tuneful melody Of an enthusiastic brass
band came with determination to sit
'c0urageously through long session de-
voted mostly TO oratory and adoption
OF prosaic committee reports.
Are Slow TO Gather.
The delegates we're slow to gather
today. Twenty-Five minutes before
time TO begin there we're less than four
score In their seats. Nor was there
any iamming about for seats In the
galleries. Yesterday there were great
open spaces among these supposedly
highly desirable vantage points. many
OF the ticket holders never showing
up. At l0:15 o'clock the band began
to play and the operators OF the Kleig
lights In the galleries experimental by
temporarily binding portions of the in
coming crowds to find whether the
binding could be accomplished without
the sputter and shTieks OF the lights
which broke In so irreverently on the
invocation yesterday. They found. TO
their evident satisfaction. that it could
not be.
The majority rules In this convention
and the verdict Is that hats should be
worn by the ladies. Many of the ladies
who attended the session yesterday and
removed their hats kept them on today.

Brewers shut them out to o, large
~ through the effective pitching Of
Wingard who allowed only six scat
tered hits. Wingard helped win his

one of which was a double which
blossomed into a run when he scored

ed for the other run by smashing
out a four Dagger.
Minneapolis made it four straight

TO BILL TILDEN
Reinstated Tennis Champ Gives
Americans Start to Victory
in Cup Matches

ROLAND Garros Stadium, Auteuil,
France, July 27.-tP)-Big Bill Til
den today defeated his old rival,
Rene Lacoste of France. in the first
match of the Davis cup challenge
round by scores of lie, Cd, Ga,
&c, 6-3.
The American veteran came from
behind after dropping the first set.
and outlasted the French master Of
machine-like strokes in one of the
most grueling five-set struggles
these tennis giants have ever waged.
BY winning. Tilden gave his team
a flying start in it's drive to regain
the Davis cup from the French, who
captured it year ago in the United
States.
The Americans now face the task
Of winning two of the remaining
four matches if they are to lift the
cup. The second match was sched-.
uled for later in the day, and pitted
Henri Cochet of France against the
young American. John Hennessey.
Tilden played the most magnifi-
cent matches of his tennis career in
proving decisively that "they do
come back" His triumph at least
in part atoned for the reverses suf-
fered at the Frenchman's hands in
the United States last year, when
Lacoste beat him in Davis cup play
and also in winning the American
championship.
Lacoste earlier this season handed
Big Bill beating in a five-set duel
in the British championship, which
he won. but this proved to be Til
den's day.
