KANSAS CITY, April 8. SELECTIONS
were held in Kansas today IN ali
cities of first and second classes.
Although without general political
significance, the result of the elec

interest for two reasons.
First, because the citizens alliance
has tickets in the field and is fight
ing all other parties. The returns
from several cities show that the
citizens alliance did not cut much
of figure, excepting where it en-
dorsed the democratic nominees.
In those places they were successful
in electing the democratic nominees.

citizens alliance victory. Returns
from Leavenworth show that the
entire republican ticket is elected.

Lawrence the republicans were also
successful. They elected their full
ticket with the exception of two
members of the council, which were
elected by the citizens alliance. Al

ed the citizens alliance, and ut

thing. Atchison elects republican
