Nominated For State Senator by
the Democrats.
FusiOnists Have Majority in
franklin COffey District.
LEEDY WAS THE FIRST
District in Senate
as a POpulist.
Political News About Kansas
and KanSans.

The fusionists of Franklin and Corey
counties will nominate William A. De-
ford, of Ottawa, as a candidate for
state senator in the district composed of
those two counties, and anything like
a record of the usual vote in the dis
trict means the election of Mr.. Deford,
because the two counties have elected
Populist senators for several years, ex-
Governor Leedy getting his political
start in that way. The Democrats of
the district, at Waverly, Wednesday,
nominated Deford.
This district presents a peculiar stu
alton. In the first place it is usual for
the legislative positions to alternate be-
tween the two counties, Franklin county
having last had the place, electing H.
T. Sheldon, who has been in the last
sessions of the senate. The Coffey
county Populists offered some opposi-
ton to Deford at the outset, but the
matter was patched up so the nomina-
ton was given to him without oppo-
sition.
Attention was first attached to this
district by the nomination of J. A.
Kennedy, of Burlington, who declared
that he would not support Lucien Ba-
ker if he were elected. This seemed
to suit the Coffey county Republicans.
but Franklin county is for Senator Ba-
ker's reelection, and a tangle was the
result of Kennedy's declarations
Franklin county had a majority in
the Republican convention as well as
in the POpulist convention. 1t was the
first impulse of the Republicans to
nominate Kennedy, and instruct him
for Mr.. Baker, but this was not done
because the Ottawa managers of the
party did not desire a rupture with
their neighbors in Coffey. The Frank
lin county delegation finally swallowed
tions, too, and nominated him by ac-
clamation.
The reason why the Franklin county
Republicans were so cOnciliatOry is be-
cause they admit at the outset that
Kennedy has little chance of being
elected. The senatorial district is Pop
uliSt by a safe majority and has been
so for several years. The opinion that
Kennedy will be defeated is respon-
sible for the lack of effort to harmon
ize the candidate with the views of the
majority Of the convention. Believing
that Kennedy will lose and that the
district will now elect Deford, the
Baker Republicans in Franklin county
Will permit Mr.. Kennedy to make the
best Roadway possible in the face of
the protests which have been raised
against his avowal concerning the SEN
atorial question.
Republicans in Franklin county want
ed the senatorial question removed from
the local campaign, but they are now
perfectly willing to let Mr.. Kennedy
bear the responsibility of making dec
larations concerning this subject when
there was neither demand nor excuse
for such conduct.
Kennedy arranged, so it is claimed,
for his political funeral while the Dem
ocratic convention at Waverly yester-
day. by the nomination of Deford,
paved the way for a certain victory, if
the Populists keep their agreement to
fuse on this Office.

FAIL TO AGREE.
State Chairmen Unable to Get To-
gether on Vice Presidency.

Sioux Falls, May 10.-The conference
or cha1rmen of state delegations lasted
until nearly o'clock, the discussion be-
ing entirely over the question of the
action to be taken in regard to the vice
presidential nomination. Chairman
Patterson made a lengthy and at times
bitter argument against repeating
the fatal mistake of four years ago.
and urging the chairmen to use their
influence against nomination. SEN
ator Marion Butler, on the other hand,
strongly advocated nomination, such
action, in his belief, being essential to
the welfare of the party.
A compromise proposition was sub
mitted by George F. Washburn, of
Massachusetts, who advocated the
naming of several men to be presented
to the Democratic national convention,
any of whom would be acceptable to
the Populists.
Several others also spoke for and
against the nomination, the sentiment
on the question apparently being nearly
equally divided. There is considerable
talk about a compromise which it is
hoped will be acceptable both to the
friends of Mr.. ToWne and to those who
are opposed to make a nomination This
compromise is to nominate Mr.. Towne
and to appoint a committee to submit
his name to the Democratic national
convention. In case the Democratic
convention does not accept the nominal
ton, it is said Mr.. Towne would be
willing to withdraw in order to secure
the success of the ticket headed by
Mr. Bryan.
A proposition was also made to sub
NIT the whole question of a nomination
to a committee of three consisting of
Chairman Patterson, Senator Butler
and George f. Washburn, representing
the two extremes and those in favor of
d compromise, the committee to recon-
mend line of action to the conven-
ton.
After considerable debate however, the
proposition was voted down and the
conference adjourned without having
reached any agreement on the matter.
The matter will therefore be fought out
on the floor of the convention.

BUFFALO JONES' PLANS
His Mission to Capture Rocky Noun
tain Goats.

The following is from the Washington
Star:
Col. C. ]. Jones. better known as "Buf-
faIo JONES'" one of the best known char
acters of the west has departed on
mission for the Smithsonian Institution
to capture Rocky Mountain goats. At
present there are none of these animals
in captivity, and, SO far as is known,
the tribe is almost extinct. For over 40
years Buffalo Jones' has spent most of
his time among the wild animals of this
hemisphere and there is hardly any
species which has not been brought into
captivity at his hands. Probably no man
knows more of the American bison,
while the muskox of the extreme north
has also been saved from extinction by
his efforts.
The adventurer goes direct to his
home, at Topeka, Kan, and he expects
to leave there within a few days for the
Rocky Mountains. From time to time,
reports have come that the goat nas
been seen in certain parts of Montana
and Colorado, and it is also almost a
certainty that there are a number of
them in British Columbia and farther
north. Col. Jones will take with him
on his expedition two men who have
had experience in such work, and he eX-
poets to bring a number of the animals
back to Washington, to be placed in tie
Geological park
While Col. Jones goes out for the Ma
tional Museum, he will pay all his own
expenses, AS he has a contract with the
government that will pay him $500, pro-
vided he brings back a certain number
of the animals. He has not definitely
made up his mind as to the first point
he will visit. He will probably cOmmun-
icate by mail with numerous of his
friends as to the existence of the ami
mails III their vicinity, and act accord
ing to their judgment.
While some years ago thousands of
the goats could be found throughout all
the North Pacific and western states,
they have been killed out by the hunt
ers who have infested the place with
the drift of settlers to the region. At
the present time. those that have been
heard Of are located in the densest part
of the mountains, and they are very
wild. None of the officials of the gov
eminent here are familiar with the
plans, of their agent but they place
much confidence in his ability to sue
coed in the expedition. From former
achievement, it is considered certain he
will capture the animals, if such a thing
be possible.

CHANGES MADE
In the ST. Louis Worlds Fair Bill in
Committee.

Washington. May 10.-The bill provid-
ing for national participation in the St
Louis exposition of 1903 commemorative
the Louisiana purchase, was considered
in detail today by the house committee
having it in charge, but the appropria-
ton section was not reached and the
main consideration involved went over
until tomorrow. The changes made in
the bill today were in reducing the size
of the commission from the states and
territories from two to one member in
each case and reducing the size of the
commission at large from eight to five
members. Additional safeguards were
also provided for assuring the balance
of the local contribution to the enter
prise before the site. plans and build
ings are accepted by the federal COM
mission.
