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.
The Catholic clergy of the dio
cese of Baker City entered upon
their Retreat at St Joseph Acad

"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.
