ANTI-LEEDY DELEGATES.
Said to Have Been Elected at the
Saturday Primaries.

The programme of the Topeka Pop
| ulistS as arranged by the county CEN
| trail committee was carried out Satur-
| day afternoon and anti-Leedy delegates
| to the county convention were elected
| an majority of the precincts.
| The county convention will be held
next Saturday and unless the plans
| which have succeeded so far are over
| turned the first delegation to the Pop
| ulist state convention will be opposed
| to the denomination of Governor Leedy
The anti Leedy workers claim that
there will not be more than 20 delegates
in the city in favor of the denomination
of Governor Leedy while there will be
at least go opposed to him. There are
only sc country delegates and there is
little likelihood that all of them are in
favor of the administration If bY
any hook or crook they should all be
1eedy men the administration might
still hope to win in the county conven-
ton.
The hope of the Topeka ,1issenters is
that the action of the county convention
next Saturday in selecting an anti-Lee-
dy delegation to the convention will
cause stampede in other counties and
thus Ieedy may be defeated. There is
little likelihood that the plan will sue
ceed AS things stand now Governor
1eedy will be renominated with but lit
tie opposition. The Topeka delegation
will merely be a black sheep in the
flock. But this is customary for To-
peka delegations no matter what party
they represent. The delegates elected
saturday in no way represent the large
Leedy vote cast in Topeka That vote
was independent and is not tied by
party lines. The fellows who elected
delegates Saturday have not the slight
est control of the Shawnee county fus-
ion vote, which is Enthusiastically for
