FrakeS' Hopes Shattered.
Tregs County Democrat Who Wanted !
to be State Auditor

Trege County Democrat Who Wanted
to be State Auditor
Abe Frakes of Trego county, DEM
ocrat of the stalwart variety, had
his hopes shattered last Saturday
night. Frakes wanted the Democrat
ic nomination for State Auditor, and
thought he had a cinch on the place.
He had been over the state, and found
the rank and file of the party g9ner-
ally for him. No other candidate ap-
peared, and Frakes was shaking hands
with himself.
Then came the conference of triune
bosses. The Democrats gave the Pop
ulists Auditor, and left Frakes in
the air. A Trego county man in town
yesterday said that Frakes' friends
are very mad and neglect no opportu
nifty to ''cu>S" the osSeS.-Capital,
