MID WEST GOP BODY GATHERS City for Proposed Conference to Be Selected in Secret Session iCopvrlnht. 1935, by The Associated Pressi EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, April 26 UP) The unofficial "grass roots," subcommittee of the Republican party will convene secretly here Saturday to settle the, question of the proposed mid-western G. O. P. conference if, when and where it shall be held.

With the purpose of bringing back the Republicanism of Lincoln, a group of 21) men from 11 states made hotel reservations for conferences under chairmanship of Harrison K. Spangler. national committeeman for Iowa. The committee, which has already no twice ir Kansas City, is unofficial in its nature, but, according to previous utterances by those Interested, represented the true Republicanism of the Midwest, unhampered by considerations of foreign business which hamper the party further east. Committee Members In the committee are such men as Eel Hayes of Decatur, 111., former national commander of the American Legion; Fred I'rinker-hoff PSHsl.itrf k'a.

rtuhllshor: frirmpr Secvntari. nf A ictl It 11 re I Arthur M. Hyde of Missouri, John D. M. Halimton of Kansas and Justus L.

Johnson ot Aurora, 111. States represented will be Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and South Dakota. The unofficial committee will discuss first of all whether the time is ripe for calling of a Midwestern convention of Republicans. Early Action Favored Against it is the fact that Congress, still In session, might remedy some of the things mentioned in any statement of principle. On the other hand, since Midwestern-ers were the first to declare intention of holding a regional meeting to revivify the party, they will be loath to postpone their action uiA til after the various other regional conventions, since proposed, shall have been held.

The place for the conference is a moot point. Kansas City was at first announced by Gov. Alf Lan-don of Kansas, but the proportions of a Landon presidential boom have militated against it in later consideration. Also tho deep rooted city Democratic machine has had Its effect In turning consideration to other points. However, an unofficial poll among members of previous conferences at Kansas City has indicated a considerable preference for the metropolis of the IJig Muddy, Other cities which have been considered are Chicago, Des Moines and Omaha, Neb.
