1 t.hW.VVIl"V' 1I THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1920,' 9 UPII AM BEGINS PLANS FOR FIFTH G. 0. P. MEETING He Has Organized Every Na toinal Convention Since 1904 Grows More Com plex Yearly. Chicago, May 13. The directing genius or tour republican conven tions in the past, Fred W. Upham, republican national treasurer, this year has planned his fifth and great est one. Mr. Upham has been chairman of the Chicago convention committee for 16 years and in that time prob ably has promoted mre national political gatherings than any man living. ' He has organized and financed the local arrangements for the republican gatherings since 1904. Every four years the planning of the big gatherings has become a more complex and more costly af- tair. In 1904, the first year the re publicans met at the Chicago coli seum, the convention arrangements cost $70,000. In 1916 the expense had increased to $110,000 and this year the sum will exceed $150,000. To raise this money, contract for , building alterations, extra s seats, decorations, tickets, badges and all the other myriad details of staging big quadrennial spectacle, in which more than 13,000 delegates and spectators will this year participate, is Upham's task. ' Expense Is Large. Cost of altering the coliseum and decorating it will alone cost more than $50,000 this year. The task of obtaining and then safeguarding the tickets, is a problem in itself. The admission cards are printed on safety paper, in special inks, and then locked in vaults until the Thursday before the convention. None are sent by mail, all being distributed here. In spite of these precautions, many fall, into the brands of pecula tors, who retail them at anywhere frirfff $60 to $100 each; and even counterfeiting of the cards is not unknown. Mr.' Upham, who has been treas urer of the national committee since February, 1918, has been associated with national politics for 28 years. In 1892 he was a delegate to the na tional convention from the Eighth Wisconsin district. He represented a Chicago district in-1912 and 1916 and ran on Governor Frank O. Low den's slate for election as a dele-gate-at-large from Illinois this year. He was western treasurer of 'the national committee in the first Taft cr.innaign in 1908 and again in the Hughes campaign of 1916. The only elective offices he has ever held were alderman in Chicago in 1896, and member of the Cook county board of tax review for 14 years. He president of a large coal company.
