SALESWOMAN TO BE BRIDE OF GOVERNOR

OFFICIAL WHOSE MARRIAGE
WILL REDEEM A PLEDGE
MADE TO VOTERS

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 8.

Governor W. J. Bailey of Kansas came to Kansas City tonight. Tomorrow night in the First Congregational Church he will wed Mrs. Ida Weed. It was the Governor's intention to take a wedding trip, but the flood and the Cattlemen's war in Cheyenne County will cause a delay. Mrs. Weed, the bride-to-be, is a fascinating widow of about 35 years. She has two sons, the eldest 11 years of age. She is a native of Baileyville, Kansas, the home town of the Kansas executive.

Since October 1902, she has lived in Kansas City, where until shortly before Governor Bailey's inauguration, she was a clerk at the Parisian Company's store. Since Mrs. Weed has lived in Kansas City, Governor Bailey has paid many visits to the city. He never failed to call on Mrs. Weed. He took her to the theater several times and showed her attentions which caused the gossips to talk and smile wisely.

Mrs. Weed and her two sons have lived in the first-floor flat at 1011 Harrison street. Yesterday the last of her furniture was moved out and she told the neighbors that she was going to Kansas City, Kans., to live for a while.

The marriage of Governor Bailey will be the fulfillment of a promise he made before his election as Governor. He said that if he were elected he would find a wife. As soon as news of this promise got out the then Governor-elect became the recipient of thousands of letters from women who were willing to become the first lady of Kansas. The Governor denied the story again and again. It was of no use, the letters continued to pour in from all parts of Kansas and other States of the Union.

At last the Governor was obliged to have a printed form of declination, which he sent in reply to all of the letters.
