BAKER WINS IN SEDGWICK.
Has Apparently Captured Entire Leg
islative Delegation.

The Republicans of Sedgwick county
held primary election yesterday to
select delegates to the county convention
to be held tomorrow.
The county has apparently been car
ried by the Baker forces and without d
contest, except in one district in which
the Baker forces captured everything,
even carrying the home ward of the Bur
ton candidate.
J. w. Adams sought a denomination
and was playing to both factions, but was
a Burton supporter.
Charley Luling. an insurance man,
popular young politician, made the fight
against Adams on a Baker platform and
won a decisive victory. Adams lost his
own ward to Luling.
The list of nominees to be selected to-
morrow includes a. senator and three rep
resentatives and they are for Senator
