H. n. Gaines made a bitter attack
upon Mrs. Diggs, but he was defeated

the election of delegates was announced
it was decided that the twelve per-
sons receiving the highest vote should
be the delegates, and the next twelve
should be the alternates. Mr.. Gaines
got the floor I want to be understood

Digs:
The main purpose of the Peoples
party now IS as it ever has been to
gain recognition and adoption of its
principles. In order to gain the support
OF PopuliStS, it is indispensable that the
Democratic party of this state shall
adopt and earnestly advocate the fun

upon its position on these fundamental
doctrines the question of united action
must depend
Mrs Diggs this morning issued the fol-
lowing signed statement:

Charles NJ. Sheldon, and once, in the
course of a talk before some church So

that well-iked Topeka minister.
Some people seem to Think DR..
Countermine is reported to have said,
that Mr.. Sheldon is the only minister
in Topeka who is doing anything for
the good of this town. All the time you
hear that Charles NJ. Sheldon has done
this, or Charles NJ. Sheldon has done
that, and the public generally has taken
up the idea that Mr.. Sheldon's work out
in Tennesseetown is about the only
thing that the ministers of Topeka are
doing. There are other ministers in 7 o.

who do n ore"

THIRD Is FOR STANLEY.
That is What a Newspaper Man Says
of the Situation.

Fred Vandegrift made a tour of the
Third congressional district last week
and canvassed the senatorial situation
especially The district has heretofore
been reported as favorable to CurtiS-in
fact, it has been counted as much of a
Curtis stronghold as the First district.
But Mr.. Vandegrift says this is a mis-
take. He says the majority sentiment of
the Third district is for Governor STAN
ley for United States senator. He says:
IF the Third district is let alone it
viii line up for Governor Stanley in the
contest for United States senator next
winter. This is not to say that he will
get the solid delegation of the districc,
but he ought to get more than any 9th
err candidate. for there is no doubt that
the majority of Republican sentiment in
the district favors his election. 1t has
been. frequently published that the
Third district is almost a unit for
Charles Curtis, but even casual obser-
Yer travelling through the district will
find evidence to the contrary. Curtis
has some of the best politicians working
for him, and Curtis sentiment exists in
spots where these politicians live, bur
elsewhere in the district Stanley is
strong, and in some counties there are
groupings of Chester /. Longs boom.
Neosho county, for instance, if freed
from entangling alliances, would in
struct its representative to vote for
Long, although John c. Carpenter of
Chanute, the follower senator from this
district, makes little secret at his inter-
ton to Tote for Curtis. Senator Fftz-
patrick. too. OF the Chautauqua district
will vote for Curtis. and it is said that
Conrad of Montgomery, on account OF
local influences, has inclinations that
way. But the senators are secure in
their seats and were elected when the
Burton boom was on in the district
Since then sentiment has changed, and
Stanley, surely, and Long, possibly, will
get good share of the representatives
that will be elected next fall

Vanderbilt is the Curtis stronghold in
