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

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.

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

among the delegates and alternates.
That made McCloud happy, and he
cheerfully transferred to the dele

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.

be used by Jeffrey expedition is at
