MuCn Interest Attaches 10 tne lpprONcn-

Topeka. Kan, uly ,s.-Tne Kansas
populist have laid aside the di,cuss on
Of national politics for the time be-
ing and are attending strictly to tn
election Of delegates to thrir
state convention, which will as
semble at Abilene on August 5. There
Is redhot fight on hand In the
party over the selection OF candidate
for governor, and now that the st.
Louis convention is out Of the way all
of the politicians ore directing their
efforts to the advancement OF the
cause OF this or that favorte.
Up TO date 80 counties have held
conventions, electing total OF 9sB
delegates The full convention will
number 57s delegates, of which 800
will be necessary to choice. There
are four candidates for governor ac-
lively in the field. They are ex-Gov.
Lewelling, of Wichita; ex-Congress-
man Harris, Of Linwood; State Senator
King, of Cowley county, and state
Senator Leedy, Of coffey county. OF
the delegates chosen each of the candi-
dates has counties instructed for him
and the friends of each are claiming
more strength than roll call could
possibly discover. Lewelling and
Harris are easily the leaders and the
probabilities are that they are not far
apart.
An unbiased view OF the situation
would seem to warrant the statement
that neither Harris nor LewelIing will
have majority OF the convention. In
fact, this is boosted by the friends OF
both Leedy and King who are holding
their favorites in the race with the
firm conviction that neither Of
the favorites can be selected by
the Abilene convention. Both King
and Leedy are looked upon as availa-
Bile for compromise.
1t Is well understood that abiding
peace will not accompany the delibera-
lions OF the Abilene gathering. 1t Is
expected that row will de-
velop over the question Of whether
q trade shall be made with the
and free silver republicans.
One element Of the party is demanding |
a straicht-out populist ticket, while
another element /, willing to divide
the loaves and fishes with their allies
The question Of whether 1t will be
Watson or Sewall is also the certain
basis for an interesting fight.
