IN A DEADLOCK.
Judicial Convention at Salina
Takes $50 Ballots.

Salina, Kas.. May 15.-The Repub-
licans of the Thirtieth judicial district
are in a deadlock here over the nomina-
ton of a district judge. There are four
candidates in the field, and there is
talk of springing r. A. Burch. of Sa-
lima, as a dark horse candidate.
The convention met yesterday and
cast 100 ballots during the afternoon and
$50 at a night session. Saline county
cast u votes for J. G. Mohler. Ottawa
cast 8 for r. R. Rees. Lincoln cast 6
for r. F. Thompson, the present Judge,
and Ellsworth cast Z for c. J. Evans.
There was no change throughout the
bauoting, and the morning session to-
day opened the same way.
Thompson is from Ottawa county as
weu as Rees He announced several
weeks ago that he would not be a can
didate for denomination, and then Rees
announced. Then Lincoln county ex-
pressed a preference for Thomson and
he backed into the race. believing that
he could get Ottawa county. but it is
claimed that Ottawa will never go to
him now.
Burch of Salina is close friend of
Thompson, and there is talk this morn
ing that Thompson viii make an effort
to nominate him as dark horse.
Burch believes he can get the Saline
county delegation which with the six
votes from Lincoln, which are con
trolled by Thompson, would be one
more than enough to nominate him, but
it is claimed that MOhler the Saline
county candidate. will never permit the
delegation to go to Burch, and there
are members of the Saline county dele
cation who are actively opposed to
Burch If Mohler becomes convinced
that he cannot be nominated he will
probably throw his strength to Evans
of Ellsworth, although some Of the pro
speetiVe congressional timber in Saline
county would prefer that it be given To
Rees in order to get Ottawa county S
support IN some future congressional
convention Ellsworth and Lincoln are
both in the Sixth congressional district.

war history of Indiana, he said that
every soldier who receives a pension

ANTI BAILEY MOVE.
Try to Revive Burton Baker
Fight in State Convention.

A rumor has been started that ex-
Senator Lueien Baker has been chosen
as the Bailey candidate for chairman of
the Republican state convention The
report comes from Leavenworth. but it
has been impossible to trace it to any
authentic source.
There is q suspicion that the rumor is
shrewd move on the part Of the ante
Bailey people in order to create dissen-
sion among the Bailey forces. The can
didates for chairman Will probably net
be decided upon until the delegates be-
gin to gather and caucus at Wichita.
Among those mentioned as possible
candidates OF the Bailey opposition are
Senator Burton. Col ]. c. Carpenter of
Neosho, B. F. Simpson of Miami and
George J. Barker of Douglas.
A dispatch from Leavenworth pub
hshed today in a Kansas City paper
prints the report that Senator Baker
viii be the Bailey candidate for chair
man of the Republican state cOnven-
tion. and states that Cyrus Leland and
after a conference with him. In speak
ing of the report today Mr.. Leland

and knew nothing Of the report until
I saw it this morning. I have never
conferred with anybody about the
craftsmanship of the state convention,
and 7 do not know that it has ever
been talked of by any Of the leaders
Bailey candidate for chairman viii moi

together in Wichita. A caucus of the
Bailey delegates viii be held to select
their candidate for chairman, and who
ever they decide upon will be elected. "

leader Of Tammany Hall for nearly six
months, resigned that position at a
meeting of the district directors held

such positive action until later day,
first waiting the action of the leaders To
see if they would give him a vote OF
confidence. Instead of this he refused
to allow any vote of confidence, and
went so far as to say that he could no
longer retain his self-respect if he re-
mained-as leader.

Reeder maintains that his record shows

Every member of the Kansas delega-
ton will be for the bill. If the measure
becomes a law at this session, Mr..
Reeder Will be the happiest man in con-
gress, for he will realize one of the
dreams of his life. Ever since the Kan

Reeder has been synonym for irrigation
