KIRKPATRICK'S HAND.
He Appears to Be Debating Things
in Third Congressional District.

The Republican politicians have discov-
cred that down in the Third congressional
district S. S. Kirkpatrick is in control of
the Republican machine and that the plan
is to have Kirkpatrick's mantle fall upon
the shoulders of George W. Wheatley,
who has been selected by Kirkpatrick,
Newt Allen and Ed. Greer for the con-
gressional nomination.
The Republican state machine did not
pay much attention to kirkpatrick in the
last campaign in which he was defeated
by Ridgely, but the fact that Kirkpat-
rick is now running things is attracting
their attention.
xirkpatrick's fellows handled the con-
gressional committee meeting; selected
the place for the convention and have
planned to make Mr.. Wheatley the next
Congressman from that district.
