DR. ROSE IS AFTER L.
PopuIist Congressional Fight
Brings Out New Candidates.
0UVAL AND CAMPBELL
Will Ask for denomination
in Hutchinson Conventions.
AND CAMPBELL

Since the recent action of the Populist
committees at Hutchinson in regard to
the Duval-CampbeIl situation, candidates
with congressional ideas have been COM
Of Newton, has an impression that ne
would like to occupy a place on the ticket
and is being pushed for the nomination
by his friends over the district 1t is
claimed that Rose will develop much
strength in the convention at Hutchinson
on the 18th. Rose has been prominent in
the political affairs of the Seventh dist
riot and has made many friends.
Claude DuVol is still in the race and
will go before the conventions as a candi-
date unless complications should arise be-
fore the convention. His friends claim
that his popularity before the meeting of
the committee and subsequent action in
regard to his withdrawal, has strength
ened his chances for denomination.
Mr.. I. P. Campbell has also announced
his intention of being a candidate for
denomination and when the Populist com
mittee was in session in Hutchinson,
made a proposition to them in regard to
what he should do.
Members OF the committee feared that
some action might be taken in the meet
ing at Hutchinson which would be Of
fensive to Campbell and that on account
70 such action, he would refuse ii be-
come a ncandidate. In order to offset
such a move on Campbell's part, resolu-
tons were prepared and had Campbell
made an attempt to have gotten off
they would have been presented.
The idea is being brought out by Camp
bells friends that his proposal six weeks
ago for both candidates to withdraw from
the congressional race, made many
friends for him. At first the idea of both
candidates getting off the ticket seemed
to be ridiculous, but eventually both sides
consented to the proposition.
It is stated that CampbelI has followers
since the committee meeting who
were against him in the first convention.
At the meeting in Hutchinson num-
Der of Jerry Simpsons friends were pres
ent and it was thought that the action in
withdrawing both candidates from the
ticket was an attempt to get Simpson the
place. Such may have been the case, but
those who are deeply interested in the sit
uation Will give no such statement to the
public.
call was issued yesterday for Popu-
list primaries to be held in the city and
county to elect delegates to county con-
vention. The delegates who will assem-
Ole at the convention will merely pass a
few resolutions and elect delegates to the
Populist congressional convention at
Hutchinson on the 18th.
The date Of the primaries in the city
is September g. and the date for those in
the country, September L The county
convention IS to be held in Garfield hall
on September 9Th.
Nineteen delegates are to be selected at
this convention although at the Great
Bend convention, only fifteen delegates
were allowed. The new apportionment is
based on the vote which Jerry Simpson re
ceived in this district in theelection Of
1896. This is the same basis Of apportion-
ment which was used by the Democrats
in their congressional convention. The
Populists claim they will have an equal
with the Democrats in the
mix-up at Hutchinson on the 18th.
The Democrats viii hold their conven-
ton at Hutchinson on the same dates as
the Populists. but as yet it has not been
decided in this county, Just what method
will be used in selecting the delegates.
The matter Will probably be definitely de-
cided in the meeting of the central COM
mittee on tomorrow AFTERNOON.
