CAME TO A CLASH
Burton and Albaugh Had a
Stormy Session.
Explained Why He Couldn't
Assign Him to Speak.
ACT INDEPENDENTLY.
Senator Told That Requests Fol
Him Will Be Forwarded.
Things in LeavenwOrth County
Are Warming Up.

Senator ]. Ralph Burton is on his way
to Hawaii. and how long he Will re-
main abroad his friends say depends
largely upon the situation in Kansas
though the senator says he expects to
return in four or five weeks. But un-
less there is an unexpected clamor for
the Junior senator to make speeches in
the sunfiower state he may nevertheless
remain away until a short time before
the election.
Senator Burton and Mort Albaugh.
chairman of the Republican state CEN
trail committee, had a conference be-
fore the senator started for the island.
INN ediately following the interview the
senator decided not to tarry longer in
Kansas. Senator Burton was incenSed
at the announcement that the Repub-
lican state central committee would not
send him out speechmaking during the
campaign This ranked in his ora
torical breast and also injured his SEN
atorial dignity. The senator sought the
chairman of the Republican state CEN
trail committee and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION.
that he be sent out during the cam
paign, and he was informed that the
state central comm ittee would not book
him on a political lecture tour. Burton
demanded the reason for his being
snubbed
The question was put to him some
thing like this: What would you think
if the campaign speakers we send out
ticket with the exception of T. T.
Kelly, the nominee for treasurer" AS
1t was Senator Burton's forces, with
Frank Grimes and Dave Mulvane, who
demanded that Kelly be nomina ted at
Wichita and secured his nomination.
that proposition did not look good to
the senator. He intimated rather
strongly that he would not like such a
course, and that he expected the cam
paign speakers to be for all the nomi-
nees en- the ticket.
TOW.
that the course he was taking resen-
bled the position that the campaign
speakers would be in who supported
all the nominees on the Republican
t1cket but one He was reminded of the
fact that the Kansas Republicans had
lined up for reciprocity and Roosevelt
and that he had opposed both. Then
Senator Burton was informed that he
would not be sent out by the Repub-
llcan state central committee to make
speeches during the campaign, and that
II requests came for his services that
such requests would be sent to him and
that he might run little speaking tour
of his own, but that the state committee
would have nothing to do with it.
The present situation must be sweet
TO Mort Albaugh. 1t would be with no
little pleasure that he would sit on the
Junior senator. Politicians in talking
of the ban placed on Burton by the
state committee recall the time that
Albaugh was chairman and Kelly Sec
rotary of the state committee At that
time. as we'll as now. they were not
exactly on the same side of the fence
regarding Burton. but a clash never
came But after all, Albaugh must
nave felt mighty good when he read the
riot act to J. Ralph Burton and sent
MIN on an indefinite pleasure jaunt.
The senatorial fight is on in earnest
In LeaVenworth county where Chester l.
Long and W. E. Stanley have come to
Curtis
Governor Stanley has his pins well
set in the southern district of the coun-
ty where the state penitentiarx is situ-
ated. Many guards have been appoint
ed from that part OF Leavenworth
county and Warden E. B. Jewett is the
one who is directing their movements
1t is not unlikely that Lucien Baker
Will get into the race and be a candi-
date for representative which means
that II he is elected Long will have a
vote from Leavenworth county. The
Curtis end of the fight is centered in
the Anthony crusade against him.
The Republicans of Nemaha. w. J.
Ba1leys home county, held their con-
vention Tuesday and decided to re-
main perfectly neutral on the senatorial
question.
Nemaha might have been considered
friendly to Curtis before the incidents
attending the Wichita convention but
not since he went after the hide of
Nemaha's favorite son, Willis ]. Bailey.
The resolution adopted by the con-
vention indorsed the administration and
policy of Roosevelt and urged the Kan
sas congressional delegation to stand by
him in his Cuban policy The resollI-
tions also applaud Stanley's administra-
tion of state affairs and commend Bail
ey to the voters of the state as a
worthy successor, and pledge the sup
port of the Republican party of Nema-
ha county to the election of the full Re-
publican ticket The nominations were:
For treasurer. Irven Isaacson: county
clerk, B. F. Eaton; sheriff H. G. Camp
bell; register. r. T. Bruner; county at
torney, Ira K. Wells; county superin-
tendent, W. T. Anderson: clerk district
court, Miss Blanche MagilI: probat te
judge. j.. H II. Ford; surveyor. Morti-
mer Mathews; coroner, DR.. C. NJ Fisher
representative, c. H. Hayden.
The following are the speaking dates
of Rev. F. w. Emerson, the Prohibition
candidate for governor, and it appears
that he will see the country if he does
not see the inside of the governors s
