| CLAUDE DUvAL'S STAND.
| Claude Duval, the Democratic nomi-
nee for congress in this district, was
prominent figure about the hotels yester-
day. He was surrounded by a crowd Of
politicians at all times who were assur-
ing him of their support and urging him
| to stay in the race. Mr.. Duval seems TO
be firm in his intention Of not withdraw
| Ing, and stated yesterday that he would
| not unless the convention which nomi-
mated him met again and requested him
| to, when he would as matter Of course.
As things now stand, he thought he was
! pledged to stay in the rase, as the con-
vention refused to give the central COM
mittee the power to pull him off. He
hoped, however, that the matter would
be patched up and intimated that it
| could be, provided he was cared for in
the right manner. This, however. It is
understood he said, was also subject to
the will of the representative men that
nominated him. II they wanted him to
stay in the race. as they now appear to,
he would fight it out to the end.
VERNON ]. ROSE IS NOT SORE.
T
candidate before the Democratic conven-
ton at Great Bend for the nomination
for congress was in town yesterday to
attend the Sunfiower banquet. Mr.. Rose
was quite in evidence in the hotel cor
ridors and seemed to be quite at his ease.
When asked how he felt over the result
of the convention, he said that he had
nothing to complain of. The counties
which instructed for him, stood by him
until the end. 'I am Just as firm in my
support and the Democratic party as I
was before the band wagon was run over
me, and Mr.. Duval will receive all the
aid 1 can render him.

GATE.
Frank L. Gordon, the prominent cat
tleman of Medicine Lodge, is in the race
for delegate to the national convention at
Kansas City from this district Some
months ago Mr.. Gordon was sprung as
gubernatorial possibility, but as he could
not spare the time, he withdrew some
little while ago. Yesterday he got ac-
lively in the race for delegate and receiv-
ed assurances which would indicate that
he will in all probability be one of the
two deegates selected. without solicita-
ton four or five. counties had instructed
for him, and yesterday representative
men of other counties proffered him their
support. Last night sail Mr.. Gordon,
II saw my cattle placed in their sum-
mer pasture and I struck out for Wich-
tia. 1 think that 1 have good show to
be made a delegate to the national con-
vention and viii lcertainly make quite a
fight for the place.

Democratic committee. is of the opinion

SENATOR L. P. KING IS FARMIN'.
Il am farnin' now." said Senator L.
P. King of Cowley county yesterday
You might say 1 am out of politics;
that is. am not a candidate, and in
most cases the two are SYNONYMOUS I |
have received upwards of 800 letters ask
ing me to be a candidate for governor
1 am of the opinion, however, that
Breidenthal will be nominated I am not
a supporter of Breidenthal. although we
are good friends personally I think
that better men could be nominated who
would make a stronger race However,
if he is nominated I will of course sup
port him. I am not, as you have lust
insinuated, a candidate for United States |
senator. Jerry Simpson is a candidate |
and one man from district is enough" |

What do you think of this Seventh !
district muddle?" was asked Ed Hack |
ney of Wellington. yesterday. az am not
thinking anything about it." he retorted |
say, he exclaimed. in a confidential |
manner, Il am glad that got out of the |
race for the nomination when did, or |
if by some lucky accident I had been
nominated, think what a stew 1 would |
be in now. 1 think my rabbits foot
worked right for once at least"
