FARRELLYT PRESIDE
Love Dissatisfied With Dele
gates From the Third.
OILER BEATEN IN SEVENTH
Third District Takes a Slap at
the Democratic Chairman.

The Democratic convention which con-
venes in this city today to elect delegates
TO the national convention at Kansas
City July is expected to pass off without
turmoil, and unless some Of the district
discussions are carried into the conven-
ton, this will be the case. All the party
differences were settled in caucus last
night. Some Of them, however, were not
devoid Of heat In the Third district
Mack Love men were turned down by the
boss busters" who have decided upon
men not favorable to the chairman of the
Democratic central committee While
this is not an essential point in this con-
vention it is an old score that emanated
long before the congressional district in
that convention, when Senator Hugh
Farrelly was turned down for Judge
Jackson by the PoDulists. The delegates
decided on from that district are favor
able to Farrelly and against ]. Mack
Love and boss rule.
Senator Farrelly is also slated for tenn
porary chairman Of the convention today
and W. II. L. Pepperell for temporary
secretary. The temporary organization is
scheduled TO be made permanent and this
action is also regarded as decidedly
against Mr.. Love.
In the Seventh district Ed Finnup of
Garden City has won out against J. f.
Oyier Of Dodge City, and this practically
settles the dispute as to who shall rule
Democratic politics in the west end of the
big Seventh
The report that the congressional differ
ences in the Seventh and Sixth districts
viii be settled by the central committee
here cannot be verified, but on the other
hand 1t appears to be the sentiment that
this difficulty will not be amicably set
tied until after the Fort Scott convention
when the successful candidates are made
known.
The coming of the delegates commenced
early yesterday morning and continued
ali day, until the hotels are crowded to
their utmost capacity. Ample accommo-
dattons had been previously made by
the Tammany club which is headed by
Harry Stewart
w. II. L. Peppereu, secretary of the
state central committee, arrived first and
was followed later by ] Mack Love.
chairman Of the committee. All of the
members Of the committee did not arrive
in time for meeting in the afternoon
"A meeting of the credentials COMMITTEES

Claude Duval, Democratic nominee for
congress in this district, is circulating
among the politicians. TuIIy Scott, con
gressonal candidate in the Sixth. is also
on the ground. DR.. Sykes, his opponent.

asm.
Abe Frakes Of Wakena, candidate for
secretary of state, was on the ground
early and circulated promiscuousIy among
the rank and file Geo. Pitts Of uutchin-
son, chairman Of the Duval campaign
club, and practically managing the nomi-
nees campaign, was I'D early and stayed
late. It is understood TO be a Duval
scheme TO have L z. Campbell withdraw
from the congressional race before tie
Fort Scott convention, but the latter's
friends will not adhere to any such a
proposition. The same condition of al

Scott-Sykes fight
1t was O'Clock before the state COM
mittee succeeded in getting together and
the session was a long one Tom Morgan

w H. L. Pepperen was the choice for

before morning the temporary orgauiza-
