New York, March 27--A story of alleged

Kansas News.

Topeka, Kas.. March 21.-(Specfal) 1t is
an open secret in political circles that Gov
ernor Leedy has Joined the Insurgents who
are striving to overthrow Jerry Simpson in
the Big Seventh. Leedy has no particular
use for Simpson, and believes that il would
be to the interest of the Populist party of
The state to retire him TO private life at
the earliest possible moment. On the other
hand il might be said in passing that
Simpson entertains about the same feeling
toward Leedy.
All of the governors appointees in the
southwestern part of the state have been
strong anti-Simpson men. The two most
bitter enemies the sockless statesman has
within his own party-Brown, of Kingman,
and Lands, of Rarber-were given two of
= the best places within the gift of the ad-
ninistration. Each one has big slice OF
patronage To dish out, and is using 1t TO
fortify for the fight that it is proposed TO
make on Simpson two years hence. Lands
Z and Simpson belong to the same county,
and the latter has always been able to pull
out with delegation by the skin of his
teeth. But now Lands is warden of the
pententiary, and he has given places to
some of Simpsons heretofore strong sup
porters, in consideration of their promise
TO turn in and help down their old idol.
Brown, of kingman, as member OF the
state board of charities. will also be able
that county. through the drawing qualities
of state patronage. to prevent him from
getting the delegation again. Brown, of
Pratt, doesn't need any patronage to help
him down Simpson there. He can do 1t,
anyway. Leedy is showing his fine Italian
hand in Sedgwick county, TOO. The police
commissioners ofsWichita have already re-
ceived their cue to manufacture sentiment
against the return OF Simpson, and at the
proper time TO sec that an anti-SimpSon
delegation is selected In that county.
while the governor and his administra-
tion are "agin Simpson. they are not
boosting any particular candidate-not at
this time. at least. The woods down there
are TOO full of candidates for Leedy to
single out any certain one and pull for
him. 1t would result dsastrously to the
governor in his next campaign for the NOM.
