POLITICAL ENEMIES.
cupied the Same Room at
Hotel Last Night.

Two political enemies occupied the same
room at the Baltimore hotel last night and
not from force of circumstances or by coin
cidence. but from choice. They are j.
Mack Love- chairman of the Democratic
state central committee of Kansas, ana u.
II. Buchanan, one of the leading Republic
ans of Cowley county. Chairman Love ana
Mr.. Buchanan both hail from Arkansas
City, and during political campaigns they
are arrayed against each other. They have
been the principals in many a bitter polit-
zeal fight. But when there is no campaign
ing to be done they are the best of friends;
they are law partners in number of i'm
portant cases now before the supreme
court of Kansas.
Everything looks bright in Cowley
county" said Mr.. Buchanan. 1.-The farmers
are prosperous, and, of course, when the
farmer is smiling the merchant feels the
effects. Politically We are all right. Our
county redeemed itself few weeks ago
when We elected a full Republican ticket.
the the first one in several years. l believe
our section of the state"
Alr. Love admitted that the farmers in
CONVEY county were prosperous, but he put
an entirely different construction upon the
result of the Republican victories in that
county and other portions of Kansas.
This was an off year. but wait until the
presidential election, then we will show
you fellows that fusion is not yet dead"
he said.
Messrs. Love and Buchanan arrived in
Kansas City from Topeka last night. They
had attended the trial of the case of the
souri, Pacific railway. 1t is sought to es-
tablish the road as the proper garnishee on
an indebtedness contracted by the Mowrey
Construction Company.
They came here for the purpose of get
ting dispositions in the case of the Arkan-
sas Lumber Company against w. C. Rob-
lnSon IN a suit on an attachment bond.
The suit is on trial before special judge
here.
