Reoublican Convention Gets Into the Grind National Chairman, W. M. Butlei Calls the Convention to Order Today at 11 A. M. The republican national conven tion at Kansas City opened its ses sions today at 11 o'clock when Na tional Chairman W. M. Butler called the convention to order and intro duced the Rt. Rev. S. C. Patridge Episcopal bishop of western Miss ouri who offered the invocation. The singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" by Madame Schumun-Heinkc was joined in by the audience as the delegates filled the great convention hall. The selection of Senator Simeon D Fess of Ohio, as temporary chairman of the national convention was made unamimous as Chairman Butler an nounced his name to the convention. The temporary chairman was escort ed to the platform by Governor Hyde of Missouri, and Governor C. C. Young of California. - The address of the temporary chairman was devoted to the praise? of the Coolidge administration, de nouncing the conditions that existed in the country during and after the world war and the speaker urged that farm co-operation must com from the farmers organizations them selves and not from government own ed corporations. The republican party had the best interest of the farmers at heart. Senator Fess stated. The mention of the names of Harding and Coolidge brought forth great ap plause. The greatest demonstration of the convention was when in closing Sen ator Fess paid a great tribute to the service of President Coolidge. The sentiment for Herbert Hoover for president seems to be growing and the general feeling is that the secretary of commerce will be the winner on the second ballot with the possibility of the first ballot be ing sufficient to put over the secre tary. Hoover supporters are angling for second place candidates and much sentiment is aroused for Vice-President Dawes to be the running mate of Hoover. In the event of the nomin ation going to the central west, for mer Governor Samuel McKelvie of Nebraska is being strongly urged.

Third Antarctic Trip Planned by British Officer Commander Jeffery, Shakleton Vet eran, May Seek Pole From Another Angle New York A third expedition to the antarctic will be undertaken this fall, according to an announcement just made here by Commander Daug las G. Jeffrey, Royal Navy, retired, and a veteran of Shackleton's party. The exepdition, according to Com mander Jeffrey, will make use of two airplanes and will probably include an attempt to reach the south pole. Its major explorations, however, will be conducted on almost the opposite side of the Antarctic'Continent f rom ( CLEAN PROGRAMS miles and will have a gasoline ca pacity of 1500. gallons. The other plane will be a small amphigian pro bably similar to the Loskheed eg.i which will be the only airplane to be used by the Wilkins expedition. The expedition, according to Com mander Jeffrey will seek to establish definitely part of the undefined boudnaries of the Antarctic Conti nent. It will conduct considerable oceanographic research and make a study of the mineral possibilities of the Antarctic, Commander Jeffrey was the navi gator and meteorologist of the Quest during the Shackleton Antarctic trip in 1922. He had resigned from one of the Shackleton expedition in 1&14 to enter the seryce of the British Navy. The work of exploring the vicinity of Coat's Land will be in the nature of a continuation of the purpose of the Shackleton Expedition, Com mander Jeffrey said. It will be the Weddel Sea area, said to be one of the most rigorous and invulnerable bodies of water in the world. Woods walked out of the on ereden- Mark meeting after the vote lials committeeman. Mark Woods Heated He brought the only heat to the meeting, when he got up and said: "It looks like we are being rail roaded here by two Omaha dele gates," poking at Baldrige and Dietz. Baldrige leaped to his feet, and said that he was voting as he did because he was for Hoover, and did not ap prove of the McMullen tactics. Before org;wiizing, the delegate.' took from National Committeeman McCloud, the convention tickets al lotted to Nebraska and divided them among the delegates and alternates. That made McCloud happy, and he cheerfully transferred to the dele gation the problem of apportioning 171 tickets among six hundred Ne- the two expeditions projected byi Commander Richard E. Byrd and Sir George H. Wilkins, respectively. Commander Jeffrey, who has been in the United States since last March, intends to invite four other Shackle ton veterans to accompany him of them is Capt. Arthur Argiles, navi gator and copilot of the Reliance monoplane Columbia. Commander Jeffrey said he expect ed to arrive in the antarctic some time in November to establish his base at Graham's Land. From t hit--point he intends to explore the vicin ity of Wedded Sea and Coat's Land. Possibility that tne three antarc tic expeditions may work together by radio in co-ordinary meteorological and other data and observations was hinted by Commander Jeffrey. It al so is possible, he said, that his base at Graham's Land may make a term inal for the antarctic basin flight proposed by Sir George. One of the airplanes which will be used by Jeffrey expedition is at present being built. It is expected to have a cruising raCIus of 6000 ARE RADIO AIM Chicago, June 12.
