ARDCAUCUSES HELD
Democrats Choose Delegates
to County Convention.
FIRST INSTRUCT FOR LEAHY
And Endorses H. w. Stewart
for Delegate at Large

The Democrats held ward caucuses yes
terday afternoon in all the wards except
the Fifth, to choose delegates from each
ward to the county convention, which
meets Saturday. The county convention
IS called to elect delegates to the con-
gressional convention at Great Bend, the
Scott and the state national delegate
convention in this city. Tammany seems
to have had rs own in every ward ex-
cept the Fourth. The Democrats Of the
Fifth ward, if there are any in that ward,
probably acted on the presumption that
# was Of no use to spend time and ef-
forts to organize for a hopeless contest.
So far as could be learned last night, no
caucus was held in the Fifth ward. A
reporter for the Eagle hunted that part
of town over and no one knew Of eau
Gus or any other kind of political meet
ing.
The caucus in the First ward adopted
resolutions favoring Dave Leahy's candi-
dacy for secretary of state, favoring j. G.
Johnson's reelection as chairman of the
Democratic national committee, and
launched a boom for Harry Stewart as
delegate-at-large from Kansas to the ma
tional convention. The resolutions fol-
low:
Resolved, That as fellow-citizens and
fellow Democrats with Mr. David D.
Leahy it affords US qualification to attest
to his virtues as a citizen and abilities
as a man to efficiently perform the duties
OF any official station to which he may
aspire and be chosen, and for these rea-
sons we cordially and heartily endorse
his candidacy for nomination for the
honorable and responsible position of sec
rotary Of state of Kansas by the state
convention. To this end we request the
delegates from the First ward to the
county convention to give expression to
the sentiment and wishes herein set forth
in that body and to urge similar action
by the convention in Mr.. Leahy's behalf.
Resolved, That we approve the candi-
dacy of our fellow-townsman, Harry w
Stewart, for delegate from the state at
large to the national Democratic conven-
ton, and request our delegates to the
county convention to support his nomina-
tion by that body to the state conven-
ZION to be held in this city, for the po-
sition named.
AS Democrats we, citizens Of the First
ward of the peerless city of Wichita. ap-
preciate the honor that has been confer
red upon our distinguished feIlow-citizen
of Kansas, the Honorable J. G. Johnson
by the national Democratic committee,
in placing in his hands the mana gement
of the committees business affairs, and
in large measure the interests of the par
~ at large, and congratulate him and the
national committee upon the very wise
and efficient manner in which he has
performed the arduous labors devolved
upon him. In view Of Mr. Johnson's dis
tinguished services az national commit
teensn, we recommend him for re-elec-
ton TO that position by the state conven-
ton, and TO that end we request our del
egates to the county convention to pro-
mote our wishes in this respect through
Appropriate action by that body"
