one OF the prominent papers OF Los An
geles. California, gives notice of the fine
work being done there for the county
central committee by Mr.. Wendell Nc
Laughlin, who for several years was the
efficient circuit court stenographer under
Judge Christopher Reed of this judicial
district. Mr.. Mclaughlin is a large ranch
owner in Arizona, his property being one
of the big irrigation bitches. Early in
the summer he went 10 the coast on an
intended brief vacation, but on arriving
at the thriving city Of Los Angeles, he at
once entered into the spirit Of the local
campaign, with the result that the chair
man of the Republican central commit
tee asked for his continued assistance.
AS it is many hundred miles away from
the point where all his business interests
are located. II becomes at once clear
case of innate interest in behalf of that
party which for years IN Sedgwick county
he served so well

COUNTY IS CLOSE
Stanley Carries the City By
500 Votes.
POP MAJORITY SMASHED
Republicans viii Probably
Lose County Ticket.

Sedgwick county is close. Stanley car
ries the city by about 525 votes and the
returns give MIN heavy gains in the coun-
try. He viii probably carry the county
by $50 votes.
At 2 o'clock Leedy had a majority Of
i2S so far as heard. In the same precincts
two years ago he had majority of
over 900.
On the county ticket the figures will
be closer and the Republicans will prob
ably lose everything but probate Judge
The big majorities ftwo years ago on
wiped out
Mr.. Stanley carried the Third ward by
IS votes. The same ward was carried two
years ago by eLedy by a majority of IS.
Two years ago Leedy carried the First
ward by 137. Stanley carried it yesterday
by q. This gain is proportionally as
great over the county.
At 100 fusion headquarters gave out
that Stanley would probably carry the
city 10y 100 majority but claimed the
county for Leedy. At this same time a
pI4FdNe lSltSTdIu from i. u. LeNeIlnS
from Topeka said that there were slight
gains for the fusion ticket in Wyandotte,
Shawnee and Leavenworth counties. Re
turns were slow at these headquarters
and nothing any more definite could be
learned save the above.
". +. Schell, chairman of the Republi-
can county central committee, said:
I'VE have wiped out the Pop ma jority
in Sedgwick county. 1 think we will elect
at least a part of the county ticket Stan
ley iwll probably carry the county. He
will be elected by about 5000 votes. There
was great stay-at-home vote. The
weather was the chief cause of this. The
Republican gains are greater in the coun-
~ than in the city, which is something
OF surprise. 1 think Long will be elect
ed by probably 1900 votes He makes
good gains in this county"
