state until after the convention for the
election of delegat ties to the national Re-
publican convention has been held a.
Wichita. He will continue his fight
against Cy Leland and I. j. Anderson
for the position Of delegate-at-large
Judge johnson thinks Anderson IS run
ming in Mr.. Leland'S interests, TO which
Mr.. Anderson replied that Judge John
son is mistaken.
Judge Johnson said yesterday: "If
Tom Anderson can carry TINS county
against me he says it will put me out
of the race for delegate-at-large and
national committeeman. If he does
that of course il will leave Mr.. Leland
in the field without any opposition what
ever. Can you conceive OF anything
that Anderson could do that would
help Cy Leland any more than that?
| There can be no doubt but that his can
didacy is wholly and solely for the pur-
pose of promoting Cy Leland's success.
Every Republican who votes for And
erson votes directly for Leland. Every
Republican who desires LelandS per
petuatiOn in power can accomplish that
| result by helping Anderson 10 defeat me
in this county. There Is nov Re
| publican in ten in Shawnee county who
would vote for Cy Leland's continual
ton in power.
Il know Major Anderson claims that
his candidacy is not in the interest OF
Leland, and that he does not so intend
il. Every man, however, 5 held re-
sponsible for the legitimate results OF
his own acts. If Anderson's candidacy
| nj this county results in my defeat
home, it would end my candidacy
against Mr.. Leland, for the very good
| reason that l had lost my own county.
hot -, Tara he
| would have no other opposition. l would
be perfectly willing to contest this coun-
~ with Cy Leland in an open field. This
l am not permitted 10 do"
When Anderson heard what Johnson
had said, he remarked: If johnson
| wants 10 handle this fight with two
brooms and a bucket Of mud, l will take
one of the brOoms and have ii out with
him. But / would prefer the other way.
L can run on my meroits, and he ought
| TO try that way, too. So far as Leland
| is concerned, he cuts no figure in my
| canvass. / am runnig for votes and
I don't propose TO load myself down
| with Leland or anybody else. 1t is not
such z great honor or such a big thing
| to be national committeeman. No,
sir; 1 am not running TO help Leland;
l am running for Anderson, and I am
going to get Shawnee county, sure"
WILL BUNCH DELEGATES.
The refusal of the railroads to issue
passes to the delegates to the state con-
ventiOn at Wichita has caused many
Republicans abandon the idea of max
| ing the trip.
1t has been proposed in many coun-
| ties to lessen the campaign expenses by
| doing away with county conventions
| and permitting the county central COM

| sentiment / sapparent in a number Of
counties in regard to the district dele
gate conventions.
| Delegates will also have 10 be chosen
to the state convention which will prob
ably be held in Topeka; the congress
sicnal conventions of the several dis
tricts; the appellate court conventions;
| and the regular county conventions.
Many Republicans feel that delegates
to most of these conventions might be
| selected at one time, and thus a great
expense would be avoided.
CALLS THEM DOGGERIES.
Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 13.-It should
by this time be apparent TO the county
jointists that they must either run quiet
and orderly places or close up. They
should know by this time that Sheriff
| ROthenberger means business with
them.
Another doggery was raided yester-
day by the deputies. This time ii was
Percy Buffers place, just outside the
city limits. on Twenty-second and Do
kota streets. Buffers joint has been
the source Of much annoyance to the
gardeners living in his neighborhood for
some time. Rough-and-tumble saloon
brawls were becoming a daily occur
renee. Every few days the police judge
was compelled to listen TO the story OF
parties brought into court on account
of disturbances raised about this place.
At night is was "hang-out' for card
playing and crap shooting. boys.
After repeated complaints from the
neighbors, the sheriff yesterday after
noon sent Deputies KEeZdoTn, Holybee
and MarlOr TO raid the place.
The officers went there with the expec-
tatiOn of finding the place filled with its
usual gang of lOafers, but on arriving
found only Mrs. Butler in the place. Mrs.
Butler had the appearance Of a woman
wha has seen better days and lots of
trouble The arrival of the officers did
not seem to cause her much surprise and
she seemed TO take the whole proceed
ing in philosophical manner. We'll,
she said. 1--WE We're going to move away;
that's why Mr.. Buffers in town now.
But 1 don't see why we can't run when
One of the officers explained that it
was contrary to the sentiment of the
community 70 run a saloon and
slaughter house under the same roof, as
he was unfastening the beer pump.
All Of the liquors found on the place
were emptied in the road. The But
ler's carried very small stock. and it is
doubtful if a good judge of whisky
would have paid more than sixty cents
for the entire supply. and would then
probably have labeled it acid It was
even worse than the South Fourth
! street brand. When poured in the
street it burned a hole deep in the
ground. from which blush smoke curl
ed in the air for some time.
Two kegs of beer were in tact, seals
were found on the premises. but they
are said 20 belong TO a brewerey agent.
They are in the hands OF the sheriff.
The authorities have several other
suburban resorts in mind, and unless
| the places are run in an orderly manner
there will be some more raids.
