BARRED PIE MEN
Machine Men Thrown Out at
Pop Convention.
AGAINST BOND ISSUE
Refuse 10 Indorse Division of
State Ticket.

The Populists of sedgwick county had
an inning yesterday and they tapped Mr..
Leedy's police commission few over the
eye. The Leedy commission had packed
the convention. having put themselves on
and enough Of the patrolmen to carry
through, with whatever other help they
could, any measure that administration
heelers might want. But the police COM
mission and fusionists were not in the
count yesterday.
resolution barring all ofice-holders
from sitting in the convention went
through with a whoop and when the office
holders got out the Pop county conven-
ton had barely enough delegates left 10
carry on the business of the convention
and get delegates for the state and con-
gressional conventions.
There were twenty-one delegates to the
state convention selected by ballot as fol-
lows:
II. Oldfather, P. Smith, Moses Joy, ]. W
Porter, w. c. Webster, Dow Wemple

Tor, Asa Fisher W. L. High, c. H. Sharp
Yves RubIe, James Tapp. B. z. Kies, 5.
Nighswonger, R. A. Sankey, ". r.
Tucker, ]. P. Parkhurst, J. Stratton. Will
lam Little.
Baloting by townships for delegates was
found 70 be very tedious and occupied q
great deal Of time and congressional dele
gates were nominated and elected viva
voce, resulting IN the selection of the fol-
lowing names:
Henry Comstock. W. H. Kirkpatrick, G.
A Gilmore. Fred Granted. W. R. Max
well, H. H Stark, Nick Gensman, D. c.
Sloan, W H. BerthoIf, Charles Peterson

ger. VIII Anderson. DR.. Hoagland, c. E.

Klegg, Dander Peterson.
The temporary organization selected at
the forenoon session was for chairman
S A Miller, Gypsum township; Fred Bat
ley. secretary; Clark Camp, assistant sec
rotary. Mr.. Miller addressed the conven-
ton in a short but confident speech in
which he thought the whole Popuiist
county and state ticket could be easily
elected.
Chairman Miller appointed committees:
Order of Business-M D. wemple Irwin

Carnahan.
At $50 order was called again and the
credentials committee reported delegates
entitled to seats.
Committee on permanent organization
recommended that the temporary organ
ization be continued.
The request of the state central commit
tee that all county conventions take ac-
ton in favor of a more equal division of
the state offices was dumped out of the
window summarily with disgust by the
delegates. Ring rule got several eye
smashers yesterday in Garfield hall.
The resolutions submitted and adopted
declared 1t to be a mighty good thing
10 chase office holders out Of party con-
ventions If sent there as delegates; COM
mended the state administration and the
measures OF Mckinley, except that an Is
sue OF bonds was looked upon with dis
favor.
