ME GUID WN COLORADO Fight for Instructed Delegation Lost in Convention. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 24.—McAdoo. forces lost their’ tight for instruction of Colorado's twelve votes at the Democratic national con- vention here tonight, and the state delegation will go to New York un- instructed. Sixteen delegates, eight of them with half a vote each, will 0 to the national meeting. Sharp conflict followed presenta- tion of an anti-Klan resolution, which was adopted after being de- feated in committee, 22 to 21. It was brought onto the floor as a minority report. Governor Wm. E. Sweet won his fight for a place on the national del- egation when he was elected delegate | at large. As eight delegates were elected for four placs he will have only half a yote. Sweet forces suffered a defeat, however, in the election of John T. Barnett of Denver to succeed Miles jaunders of Puello as nationa al “committeeman from Colorado. Mrs. Gertrude A. Lee of Greeley was re- elected national nes Gomera woman, TRACK STARS GET BIG ThlP (Continued from Page One.) by the Casper men with national} high school records will give some} conception of what results may be expected.

Entered in Competition; Crowd Sees Big Show By ARNOLD B. LARSON The kids and their kites! —did you ever see anything like it! There went a half dozen soaring off into space un- til the crowd had to follow strings—it seemed for miles—squint- ing for several minutes before eyes could focus on tiny specks fluttering in the disiance. To the right a monster came smashing into the wind. All of a sudden it was swooping furiously earthward, crashing with paper- puncturing, stick-breaking and heart-breaking violence. In almost the same instant yells centered attention on small, dainty bits of gaudy tissue with tails of cloth wriggling below in spirals. Hither and thither they darted as veritable whirligigs in spasms., of Mashing color. There were kites that would fly and those ‘that just wouldn't, no | matter how hard their pilots would throw them into the alr and run | frantically. Above all was a network of strings that criss-crossed here and ran {n parallels there. All this and lots more happened at the first annual Tribune-public school kite flying tournament at the old fair grounds yesterday afternoon, In all, many boys and a few girls, numberihg 61, had kites entered in the tourney. The day was perfect, with fluffy cumulus’ clouds banked overhead, sun shining, and a moder- ate breeze blowing. Cars came from all over the city, bearing a crowd that was a wonder for size and youthful enthusiasm. And when The Tribune car was surrounded and the prizes given out —oh, boy, but eyes were happy and hands were anxious. Who had the most artistic kite? A girl, of course. Her name is Dor- Jane Scott. In this event Ellis Young placed second and Dick R. Young third. Only by actually seeing could the judges believe there was ever made such a small kite as that shown by Paul Weidner. It could fly on tts too, and it was not more than an inch square. Paul Was awarded first prize for having flown the tiniest, weenfest. kite. The second prize went to little Thelma McGowan, All Fred Anderson needed was a cyclone to boost his immense kite. As it was, he made it cayort clum- sily a dozen yards of the ground. He won first in the largest-kite:to.fly event. Second was James. Shuman. Acting up and going through crazy antics, is what one of Ellis Young's kite did, It took first as the best stunt performer. ‘ To really have gotten a good slimpse of the kite sent up by Wil- liam Guthrie, a good long range tel- escope would have been required. One could see noarly a mile of string tautly stretched in the general di- rection of the horizon, and that's about all. Somewhere at its end was the winner of the first prize for William in the highest-flying event. Van Guerney let go of a stout kite that made him second. A reel is a real aid in Kite flying, and the better, the reel ‘the easier it is to control the kite. Though such othy # contrivance is more or less of a mechanical nature, Dorothy Jane ott was pronounced owner of the winner. Ned Turner's reel made | Second. Against the field Ellis Young cap- tured first prize in the event for the most original kite stunt. In the eighth-mile dash, where one had to be quick to manipulate a reel of string and keeping a kite from crashing, Van Guerney was awarded first prize, A_noteworthy feat was performed two kites tandem. By knowing what to do, he managed to keep both under perfect control. He had no compe- tition and won first in the tandem event. Likewise in the final event for the longest string of kites flown tandem, Guthrie took all, Those judging the contest were H, Roe Bartle, Dean Morgan and the Rev. R. R. Hildebrand. B .M. Wyatt, manual training instructor, is di serving of much credit for the su cessful way in which the tourna- ment was put over. It was because of his going from one school to tho other, showing the pupils how to make kites, and in general giving a great deal of his time, that the Trib- une-public schools kite flying event was atriumph, + Entered in the tournament ‘were the following.
