1T is difficult to make an accurate

any special interest taken in the guber-
Material contest. Only nine out of

tons instructing their delegates. Our
club, however. has kept as carefully in
formed as possible on the situation by
personal interviews with delegates

not including Pottawatomie county,

Mr.. Capper was asked what he
thought of the figures given to the
press by Mr.. Bristow. Gov. Morrilrs
private secretary. He said.
Joe BristoW has evidently inherited
the mathematical vagaries of the late
Daniel O. Zercher. Anyone familiar
with politics knows that the figures are
not reliable from the fact that In the
260 delegates elected he has not dis
covered a solitary uncertain on doubt

claims of the friends of other candi-
dates, the figures ] have given are cor
