says there is no doubt but Lincoln
county will instruct for Reeder. In
Osborne county the. city of Osborne and
five out of six country precincts went
for Reeder. wellington had previously
secured one country precinct. 1t has
been claimed that Lincoln and Osborne
counties would decide the fight, even
when Russell county was counted in
the solid Wellington column.

tion yesterday. but it elected delegates

Newton, says:
THE Seventh district believes in
Chester /. Long 1t wants to see him
Longs interest that W. J. Bailey win

Washington. which holds its convention
today, ties with Dickinson for the next
largest number-l5 each Republic has 13,
Salina and Cloud u each. Clay and Riley
IL each, Ottawa and Geary 4 All of these
except cloud Will hold their conventions
this week There are 122 delegates in the
district ana II Is predicted that Bailey will
get the ma Jority of them, even if there
no instructions

they will vote in the state convention Men
VINO are supposed to know how the respec-
tive counties stand politically differ widely
WITH regard to their own localities For
Butler county will support III. b. Miller in
Murdoch takes issue with the Times and
says that Bailey is the coming man. The
Douglass Tribune has a strong leaning for
Troutman.
= 1t seems more and more probable that
Cowley county will have a candidate in
the Third district congressional race be-
commenting on the situation the Arkansas
City Traveller says: Two years ago Cowley
congress had it not been for the treachery
of a small majority of the delegates from
tn this county 1t 1f WAS oh9red to the friends
A. P. Johnson, but theirs and the county's
interests were sacrificed on the altar of
greed of the gang. The same opportuni-
ties are presented this year, except in the
state. While the Traveller is not author
lied to speak for Mr.. Jeffrey. Judge Buck
sayng af or that neither of the genpemen IN
named would decline the nomination. They
honorable in every walk of life and are
not the tools of designing ward bummers
and office brokers'.

John Q. Royce publishes this bouquet
for Troutman in the Phillipsburg Dis
patch: Lieutenant Governor James A.
Troutman of Topeka, a very prominent
day renewing acquain tanceS with the Re
publicans of this county. Mr. Troutman
has recently scored a sweeping victory in
his home, Shawnee county. and the coun-
ties of the state are dropping into line
for his nomination very rapidly. He is
one of the best equipped men in this state
successor to the splendid man who has
given such a successful administration
for the last four years. Troutman is an
orator. a gentleman, scholar, a just and
ernor who we would all be proud of. He
has host of friends in this county and
sincerely hope that a friendly delega-
tion will be sent from this county to the
state convention.
1t looks as though Judge West is making
candidates for attorney general. The FIT
Scott Monitor goes to the extent of max
ing this prediction about. him: Judge j.
). West is now very nearly sure of the
making friends and winning delegates all
over the state. If his boom keeps up for
another week he will be nominated by
clamati ton. West is the kind of a man who
has trouble in making a can-H@ign for
a public office. His long service on the
bench and assistant in the office of Mr..
and learning as a lawyer, constitute
claims for consideration not equaled by
any other candidate for the place"
CASE is DELAYED.
