THE EVOLUTION OF SIMPSON.

From . sockIess middle Of the Road"
Statesman TO q Red-Hos Democrat.
TOPEKA, KaD.. Nov. 16.-Offfoisl returns
from Jerry Simpsons district give him 400
majority. Two years ago he was elected
by 7,422. IL is now believed that he will
not be candidate for Senator. Leaders
of the fusion party fear that new man
would be defeated in that district If his
seat in Congress was vacated and special
election held. Mrs. Lease says Jerry is q
Democrat straight out, and 10 using the
Peoples party. and it's members don't seem
20 realize II. At two Democratic banquets
since election Simpson appeared as an In
vited guest and in HIS speeches he Is credit
party would now take the place of the Peo-
pies party movement and carry on the re-
forms inaugurated by it, He denies that
he was connected with the plot to 'assass-
sinatep himself. He says he is In favor OF
Democrat for Senator, because Democracy
played fair with the Peoples party and Will
need them in the future.
1t Is probable that there will be lively
time in Kansas before the Populist State
officers have taken their seats. Charges OF
fraud are made by leading Republicans,
and the State central committee Is investi-
eating the matter before any definite &C
tion is taken on the face of the returns.

elected by about 5000 majority.
