FIGHTING FOR BURTON
Now In Miami County Trying to
Defeat Remington.
Claimed That He Is Compromis-
ing State Committee.

A political contest which is the most
important of the year, involving the SEN
atorial fight and at the same time
threatening a row in the Republican state
committee is on in Miami county.
The state committees involved by rea-
son of the presence of II. IT. Kelly, secre-
tary of the committee, in Miami county,
which is his home. Mr.. Kelly is work
ing for Mr.. Burton and in SO doing is at
tempting to defeat for nomination for
representative Major ]. B. Remington.
The fight has assumed gigantic pro-
portions and the charges made by the
opposing sides are something, in volume
at least, which are astonishing.
The Remington managers charge that
Kelly violated his promise, when elected
secretary of the Republican state COM
mittee to keep out of the senatorial fight.
by going into Miami county to force a
fight which he lost in the spring cam
pa1gn. 1t is also charged that letters
prepared in the office of the state treas
urer or under the knowledge of that Off
deal and sent to Miami county were in
spired by Kelly.
The Kelly forces are fighting Reming-
ton who is an aVowed Baker supporter
on the theory that he is out of date as a
Republican; that he has had a good
snare Of the honors bestowed by the par
ty IN that county; that he is a chronic
office seeker and generally unfit for the
position which he seeks.

souri, Pacific at Osawatomie. is making
