McGinnis, his campaign manager, and supporters lost no time Thursday when they arrived at Emporia.
"We set up a hospitality room where all the delegates could meet me and that's when the politicking started," he said.

Began Making Deals
"At 8 a. m. we started making deals," he said. "The Sunday session was supposed to start at 10 a. m., but didn't get going until 11 a. m."
At 11 a. m, McGinnis had regained the lead again and after consulting with the opponents it was decided the whole convention would back him but the action wasn't over vet.
At 11:30 a.m. m. Sunday, during the committee reports, the opponents decided they didn't like the setup and a 30 minute recess was called.
"They were afraid that after I was elected KU would not back the opposition members of the slate." McGinnis said. The convention officers were elected by starting with the state chairman office.

"This insured KU's support for opposition candidates on the slate," McGinnis commented.
At noon the election took place and McGinnis was elected unanimously by the convention.
