REPUBLICAN WRANGLE.
Spirited Contest Among Candidates
for Senatorial Nomination IN the
Thirtv-ninta District.

1t is possible that the Wrangle now
going on in the Thirty ninth senalorlal
district as to the Republican nominee
may result in making 1t pOssiple 4OI
the POpulists to win in the elecllon-
The district is very close at any rate
and Senator WilcOc1son was only elec-
ted in 1894 by a narrow majority. There
are 10 counties in the district and about
two out of every three Of them have
candidates The leading ones are Sim
Notz of Hays City, who represented
the district years ago; Captain j.. q.
Parker Of Oberlin and H. j. aarWi OF
Hill City
A desperate attempt is geing made
bv the friends of Senator NOtz to Sc
cure him the nomination, though Par
ker is regarded as one of those whose
chances are the best.
Administratio and anti-adminis-
tration lines are apt to be closely
drawn in this fight, as there are num-
Der of INSTRUMENTATION men IN the
district who are opposed to Motz be
cause WilcooksOn is supposed to be
for Motz. and Wilcockson is an admin
istratiOn supporter
The most prominently mentioned
man for the Populist nomination is
Sam McElroy of Oberlin. who is also
being talked of for appellate judge on
the POpulist ticket in the western di-
vision northern department. McElroy
is strong man and would probably
win if the Republicans got into a fight
over their nominee
The Republican convention meets
May 20 at Stockton.

BAKER AND ELLIS.
Well Posted Politicians Say They Will
Be the Nominees in the Sixth.

The Populist congressional conven-
ton to nominate a successor to Con
eressman Baker in the Sixth district
meets at Colby, May %.
There are about a dozen candidates,
including the present congressman,
Vim. Baker and n. d. Burge Of era
ham county and this city Mr. Burge
was to have delivered series or
speeches in the district, commencing
this week. but the rush of business in
the appellate court, with which he is
connected. made it imperative for him
to cancel his dates
The general impression is that Con
gresham Baker viii be renomlnated'
Mr. Burge himself, conceding it.
There is little doubt that the Re
publicans of the Sixth viii nominate
Judge A H Ellis of Mitchell by ac-
cIamation. There is now but one can
didate against him for the nomination,
w. A. Reeder, and as q Sixth district
Republican said today, "Reeder is get
ting the promises while Ellis gets the
delegations right along"

Craps With Them.

doc" Giles, the most venerable
county jail trusty. says that Frank
Novels did not eat the matches which
Lawyer I. r. NcNary saw him take
from the jailer's room, but shot craps
with them. He used to shoot" for 300
matches a. time with Novels.
Giles is quite a character himself. He
has been in Jail nearly a year He has
a peculiar way of emphasizing his
words by striking the palm of his left
hand with the first two fingers of his
right. This favorite gesture is initiated
by everyone about the Jail.
How did you happen to get in here
for so long a time?" asked Jailer Larry
Sheehan of Giles one day.
The trusty looked dercely at him for
a moment. made his usual gesture of
emphasis and said BY -, it was for
the deed I done"
Giles nearly cut mans head off
with a butcher knife on Smoky Row
one night. The mans name was Rye
and he was a boy.

BENEDICT OF WILSON
Talked of as the Republican Candidate
for State Senator.

There is some talk among the poll
ticians of Sam Benedict of Fredonia
being the Republican candidate for
state senator in the Wilson county
district this year.
Mr. Benedict is one of the veteran
LEGISLATORS Of Kansas. having been In
both houses time and again. He was
in the last house OF representatives
and was chairman Of the ways and
means committee. A Third district
man who is connected with the admin
istratiOn said today.
Sam Benedict is the best man for
state senator in his district and think
he may be nominated.
TT would be impossible to find
better man IN the district and he would
be valuable in the senate. He was ia
ken sick last year while in the legis-
lature and if he had not been he would
have saved the state 500 600 before the
session was over AS it was, a num-
Der of appropriations slipped through
which would not have escaped his eye
if he had been on hand.

ED SMITHS DILEMMA.
Tried to Steer Clear of Political Com
plications and Fell In, Kerplunk

Ed M. Smith Of the auditors office
is in a dilemma. Mr.. Smith is the
secretary of the Wyandotte county
central committee, and as such had to
attend the convention held in that city
the other day.
Now the fact that Mr.. Smith is con
nected with the administration made
him keep very quiet while at the con
vention, and he did not get tangled
up at all ia the fight. He has been
cOngratulating himself ever since his
return that he was not in the muddle.
until today when he discovered he not
only was in it, but decidedly in it.
The way of it is tins. on the call
which brought the convention together.
tackled on the rear end Of it and not
noticed at the time was a line or two
which said: "The secretary of the
county central committee shall on or
before May 2, make out a list, and send
to the secretary Of the district com
mittee of the delegates to the dis
trict convention"
AS is well known. there are two con-
testing delegations to the Lawrence
convention from Wyandotte-one a
Buchan. and the other an anti-Buchan
delegation. So whether Mr.. Smith
wants to or not, he is bound by the adj
denda to the call to make out some kind
of a list and send to the secretary of
the district committee.
If he sends in the list Of Buchan dele
gates. the anti-Buchans viii cry
fraud" and say that the administra-
ton is in cahoOts with the Buchan peo-
pie. Then, again, if ne sends in the
names of the members Of the anti
Buchan delegation, the other side Will
say the administration is mixing in
Second district politics.
AT least. this is the way Mr. Smith
looks at it, and he does not know what
to do. Whatever he does, there is
bound to be trouble and plenty of it.
Thus it happens that Mr.. Smith is
groaning mentally for ever getting tan
gled UP with local politics while hold
ing an administration job.
