wick county that represented more
than a dozen fellows. He said that a
caucus was usually held before con-
Vention was called and ticket was
made up and that was the one that
was nominated
On all sides Republicans are heard
to remark that they are going to fight
for the Crawford county system Of
making nominations. This talk has
not all been heard since the recent con-
VentioHs but it has been agitated for
several weeks. 1t is only assuming
shape now. At the last primary cleo
ton in some of the wards of this city
Republican voters expressed their
choice for judge on their ballots.
This is just what Republicans in the
county are proposing TO do in the flu
ture. They propose to take the priv
elege of naming county tickets away
from local party bosses and exercise
that right for themselves and when the
Republican party does that every man
who becomes a candidate for office will
have to stand on his own merits. The
occupation OF the fixer and the trader
viii be gone and there Will not be any
use for the dark horse.
If the Republican party wants to
name candidates for the various offices
10 be filled in the county why not vote
for them direct and be done with it?
asked a prominent Republican last
evening. This same Republican said
that we had adopted the senatorial
rule in making party nominations. He
said the trainers of the constitution
did not provide for the election of
United States senators by the members
IF the state legislature in order that
the mass Of voters might either secure
their choice for senator but they adopt
ed that rule because they thought the
fool people could not be trusted to}elect
both branches of the national legisla-
ture. He said that was the reason the
party bosses wanted a convention.
They do not want to trust the mass of
the party to make nominations.
Talking II a crowd of Republicans
last night John Adams said he thought
the Republicans of S.7T-nee had i'm
proved on the Crawford county SyS-
tenn. He said under the Craferd coun-
~ system the voters at the primaries
voted for their choice for the different
officers and the central committee
made up the returns and the man re
ceiving the largest vote was declared
the nominee.
Under the Shawnee county system he
said the voters at the primaries voted
for the man of their choice for each
Office and also for delegates 10 a conn
" convention. The county convention
meets and makes up the returns and
declares the men having the largest
vote the nomminee. This system al
lows the voters in the party TO make
the nominations and at the same time
provides for county convention that
Fan pass resolutions and appoint CEN
tral committee and provide other party
machinery that may he needed.
The Republicans present all express
ed themselves as in favor of such a
system. One Of them declared that
Republican government was govern
ment by the people and there could he
no such thing as Republican govern
nient when the people delegated all
their powers to party bosses.

LAURA WILDE WANTS DIVORCE.
Says Her Husband Get Drunk and Knocks
Her Down and Threatens to XII Her.

Laura Wilde has filed suit in the dis
trict court asking to be divorced from
her husband Jacob Wilde.
Mrs. Wilde tells a sad story in her
petition in showing cause why she
should be granted a divorce. The
story begins away back in 1872 when
Laura and Jacob were married in Ger
many.
Laura leaves it to be inferred that
Jacob and her lived happily together
for a good many years and three chill
dren were born to them, two of whom
are now of age. They came to Wichita
and bought three lots out in the north
east portion of the city on Allen aVen-
lie and built them a home.
Then Laura sets up in her petition

Thursdays conventions We're the
subject for discussion among politi-
clans and citizens generally yeseter-
day. The men who were successful in
nominating their favorites were of
course sa tisfied with the result while the
fellows who got left We're able to tell
how it would have been if so and so
had happened.
There is alawys somebody disappoint
ed with the result of a nominating
convention and Of course this one was
no exception. Everybody even to the
Democrats and Populists admit that
the ticket nominated is good one and
that every man on it Will probably be
elected.
While this is true there are comp
laints here and there that delegates in
many instances failed to represent the
Republicans who elected them. 1t is
claimed that certain wards or town
ships were overwhelmingly for certain
candidates and when the final test
came some of the delegates did not
vote for the favorite.
There IS a general feeling that coun-
~ conventions ought to represent the
party and il is claimed if this We're
done popular candidates would ALWAYS
be elected.
An old time Republican worker said
last night that the worst feature about
nominating conventions was in allow
ing candidates to name the delegates
from their own township or ward If
John Smith takes a notion that he can
be elected TO some county office he in
Variably asks for the delegates from
his own Coon Hollow township.
The good people of Coon Hollow
nave not much faith in Johns ability
10 secure the nomination but they con-
cede him the delegates and in this case
the delegates usually represent John
Smith instead of the voters of Coon
Hollow The voters of John Smiths
township in a case of this kind usually
give up their right and voice in the
naming Of every other candidate on the
ticket in order that John Smith NAV
use the delegates TO further his own
interests

Last night the Kansas State Holiness
asH0ciation opened UP their annual
camp meeting at Riverside park The
attendance was large considering the
fact that it was the first meeting and
the interest manifested foreboded the
best camp meeting ever held by that
association in Wichita.
One Of the finest features of the de-
votional exercises was the singing
and instrumental music. There were
some splendid voices heard under the
great canvass tabernacle that covers
almost an acre Of ground. Some TWEEN
ty-five or thirty tents are already up
and Mr.. Nusbaum says that he has
orders for a lot more that will have to

Winfield college, presiding elder of the
Winfield district, and president OF the
Kansas State Holiness association will
have charge of the camp meeting and

who is reputed TO be one of the great
est evangelists in the nation will direct
il. MIR. LoWder was present last night
and preached a powerful sermon. He
will return to Winfield this morning
but will be back again Monday.
The electric lights were not in at the
opening of last nights meeting but
there was plenty of spiritual light.
About o'clock however, the current
was put on and the big tent was flood
ed with light, greatly TO the delight of
the audience.
The meeting will last ten days and it
promises to be great religious revival

ARE ALL WITH THE EAGLE.
Hutchinson Man Says They are building
Mare Rusiness Houses.

G. w. Cowan of Hutchinson was in
the city yesterday and he always has
a good word for his town. He says
they are actually putting up several
new business houses on Main street,
There is not a boom, he thinks, but just
q natural growth.
Mr.. Cowan says the people of his sec
ton with the exception of a few gov
eminent officials irrespective of party
are with the Eagle in its fight for BIZ
metallism and the equal coinage OF
silver and gold. He does not believe
that there could be a corporals guard

ted and at such times engaged in the
lively pastime of knocking her down
and threatening to kill her She states
that on one occasion when Jacob
knocked her down she was unable TO

This kind of a life Laura says has be-
come unbearable and she asks the
court to give her the little homestead

goods and divorce from Jacob.

tionary measures OF Captain Holcomb-
The Canadian river causes the rail-
roads more trouble than any other riy-
er in the west. At noon il might be as
dry as powder and before ! O'Clock ten
feet OF water might be in il extending

mountain snow causes a rise every
year and IL comes down the river like
a large ocean wave bringing hundreds
of tons of debris with IL 1t is still
worse after a rain in the Panhandle
and northwest Of there. The rain
slides off the prairie like it would of 4
ducks back and pours into the Cana
dian. Then again the quick sands
shift around so that during food a
bridge wiggles like a snake and is not
in one position a second at a time. It
moves with the sand and if il is not
weighted down with cars OF coal or
rock ii is pretty apt to get away alto

Fe ar Canadian City must be watched
closely every June. and on one or two
occasions part OF il was swept away al
together.
