Republicans In Convention at Kansas City Meet in Large Hall Built for the Democrats Written especially for I Heppner Gazette Times I By ROBERT FULLER Through Autocaster News Service, Kansas City, June 6. The whole town's talking about the coming Republican National Convention, which meets here June 12. And the town is not merely talking it is making most thorough preparations for the event These" preparations have been going on continuously since December 7, 1927, when the word was flashed through the coun try that Kansas City had been cho sen as the site of the Republican Convention. There will be adequate accommo dations for every one of the dele gates, alternates and visitors. As a wag put it: "There even will be room for the elephant's trunk." Kansas City was chosen as the site of the convention after the most hotly staged battle to pick the convention city ever fought The convention will be held at the Convention Hall of Kansas City, which was built in 1900 for the Dem ocratic Convention of that year, when the Democrats nominated the late William Jennings Bryan. For a quarter of a century Con vention Hall has been the scene of concerts, athletic contests and in dustrial exhibits. Now again shall resound in its halls the great tumult of a nation al convention! Again history shall be made within its confines! And truly, this year's convention prom ises to be a very exciting one, as recent developments in the political situation indicate. The Convention Hall has room for over 18,000 presons there is room on the arena floor for all del egates and alternates. The build ing occupies a quarter of a block on 13th Street and Central Avenue, close to the downtown district of Kansas City. Here the Republican presidential and vice - presidential candidates will be chosen, and the platform of the party will be adopted. Maine's delegation of 15 will oc cupy the seats in the front row in the center of the hall. On its left will be the big Penn sylvania delegation, on the right the 29 delegates from California, and to the rear those from Massachusetts. Behind Massachusetts will be the delegations from four other New England States New Hampshire, Vermont Rhode Island and Con necticut, with New York's 90 rep resentatives, the largest unit in the convention, grouped near the cen ter of the auditorium. When Kansas City was chosen in December, it was decided to change the usual 1,109 delegates to 1,089 delegates. This latter number of delegates will attend the sessions starting June 12 at Convention Hall. The keynoter, or first speaker, at the convention will be Simeon D. Fess, United States Senator. He is an aggressive, earnest speaker who has a sincere, forceful method of delivery. He is. an historian and a staunch Administration adherent William M. Butler is chairman of the Committee on Arrangements and chairman of the National Com mittee. There will be a nation-wide hook up of radio stations to bring the news of the convention to every cor ner of the country. Not only will the speeches and tabulations of votes be heard, but also the cheers, demonstrations and noise of spon taneous parades taking place all over the convention, floor. There will be microphones placed all over the floor and balconies. Elaborate preparations are being made to make this radio hook-up one of the most thorough ever made in the history of radio. Length and time of the sessions in Kansas City are still very much in doubt which makes the task of the radio inter ests very difficult However, radio listeners will be "in on" every phase of the convention. blessings upon the crops which stand so much in need of rain, c-v- ery Sunday during June the Sun day mass wlil be offered for the same purposes. Tomorrow morning, Friday, at 7:30 there will be a high mass in the church in honor of the Sacred Heart of Christ; it will be the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the pastor Invites all to be, present. The first bell will be rung at 7, and the last at 7:30. Confessions will be heard before the mass, and ser vice will close with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and the sol emn consecration of all to the Sa cred Heart. The Sacred Heart is selected as an object of honor and devotion be cause it is a symbol of God's infinite and undying love for mankind. Until further notice through these columns, there will be no Sunday services at any of the mission cen ters. The pastor while improving satisfactorily, does not feel warrant ed in rejecting the orders of his physician, Dr. A. D. McMurdo, who counsels rest and freedom from all activities not actually Indispensable.

"Freedom of Individual Effort Our Greatest Need" "We are too ready to allow government bureaus and commissions to restrict ' and hamper individual ini tiative. Yet it Is important to our Industrial and, in deed, our spiritual life, that full freedom be allow-" ed for individual effort in every line of business. For therein lies the opportunity for the development of that interesting and neces sary side of our nature the omantlc and adventur ous." MERLE THORPE Editor of Nation's Business Says MERLE THORPE When you flip the switch that gives you light, or cooks your food, or runs your radio, you draw upon an instantaneous supply of electric en ergy. The immense power plants, sub-stations and transmission lines through which this energy comes to you often make the electric light and power business seem little more than a vast machine. Yet the planning that keeps electric service ready to meet the growing volume of industrial and domestic needs, the engineering genius which daily increases its usefulness and lowers its cost, and the great funds of capital required to turn produc ing equipment all these depend up on the service of individual men. Men built these systems and men must run them. And since time be gan, men have only done their best where Individual initiative has had free play. That America today enjoys an elec- trie service which in efficiency and extent cannot be equalled in the world, is due to the Individual ef forts of men working under the American principles of free busi ness enterprise.
