or other member OF each delegation 70
the Republican state convention an in
Quiry as 20 the standing OF the delega-
ton on the guberna,orial question. The
poll was made for the purpose of obtain
ing reliable and impartial information as
10 the strength OF the seven gu0ernatorial
candidates at the Hutchinson convention
on June s. Several counties have not yet
held conventions. but reliable Information
was obtained from these counties as to the
probable action OF the local conventions.
Nearly 500 letters Of inquiry were sent out
by this paper. and the figures obtained
are as accurate. conservative and Impair
tial as it is possible for anyone 10 OBJ
tain in advance OF the convention The
Mail and Breeze is justified in stating that
the seven candidates Will go into the state
convention with the following voting

In the above estimate. the 81 votes OF
Shawnee county are not counted for
either candidate. II Mr.. Seaton carries
the Republican primaries tomorrow CSat-
urday) he will have ls5 votes on the first
ballot at Hutchinson. making him the
leading candidate. Mr.. Stanley being 4
close second. II the Hessin-Coourn forces
win the Shawnee fight Mr.. Hessin Will
be the leading candidate, with Stanley
only a few votes behind. and Mr.. seaton
a close third. A Hessin-Coburn victory
would also increase Mr.. Coburn's vote.
Every candidate claims more votes than
Is accorded MIN In the above forecast.
but II tho seven candidates remain in
the field there will be no material change
from the figures here given. The informa-
ton received by the Mail and Breeze es-
tablishes the fact that the three leading
candidates at the opening OF the guoerna-
torial contest are Stanley. Seaton and
Hessin, with Farmer Funston not very far
behind The replies received by this paper
indicate that Mr. Stanley probably has
more second choice delegates in sight

anything like enough to put him within
reach of the nomination. No one can
intelMgently predict what the outcome Of
the convention will be. Combinations
may be formed which will nominate either
of the seven candidates. a very large
number of delegates are uninstructed and
have no decided preference, their chief de-
sire being to secure the nomination Of the
candidate who can get the most votes.
