that Buchan would haveWyandotte and
Douglas with chances OF capturing num-

termdne Buchan's candidacy one way
or the other. If his county delegates are

has the following from Topeka; Ed
Smith, secretary OF the Wyandotte coun-
~ Republican committee. says that IL IS
his duty TO certify to the credentials OF

respondent Of The Star. II am glad OF

mixed up In. I can't understand how
the impression got out that the creden-
tials required a certificate from me. Joe
Cox of Lawrence was in 10 see me this
morning with the same question. and /
told him as I tell you that IL IS the duty
Of the secretary Of the county conven-
ton 20 make the certificate. and I VIII
not have the responsibility showed on
me. My duty ends when the county
convention had effected a preliminary
organization"
