WILD TALE FROM WICHITA.
Alleged National Organization to
Boom Mclean For President

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 1s-It is understood
upon reliable authority that the two votes
cast for David Leahy for United states
senator Tuesday in Topeka IS a nucleus
of an organization that has for its
scheme the nomination of John R. Nc
Lean Of Ohio as the dark horse for the
Democratic nomination for president In
1904.
in 1904 there will go into the Democratic
national convention two distinct and IT.
reconciIable factions, one from the west,
which will be for Bryan, and the other
from the east, which will be for Richard
OIney It will be conceded early, the Nc
Lean men think, the nomination OF either
will be mere formal invitation to GER
tain defeat, and the demand will grow for
a man from the central states Mclean,
they believe will fill the bill. In order
to carry this out it was decided that
there should be built up at once in every
state east and west, Mclean organiza-
tons and that, as a token of good faith
in every state, the leaders of the Mclean
scheme should send into Chicago the
name of a man who received two votes
for the United States senate in party eau
Gus. For that reason 1t is said, for there
is appearing all over the United States
in senatorial cacuses the name of some
one man who receives just two votes, and
the scheme seems to be working Mr.
I.eahy said that he IS stffl stanch sup
porter of Mr.. Bryan, and that he had not
solicited the votes, nor did he even know
who cast them.
