The Republicans of Stafford county
seem to be rather mixed up A dispatch
from Stafford to the State Journal says:
The annual vendetta between the
Republicans of ST. John and Stafford
has assumed a new phase this season
Stafford claims there has been hogglsn-
ness in the distribution of the offices by
the ST. John brotherhood. who control
central committees and conventions and
run in states distasteful to the Stafford
faithful Below is what is promised:
1--WE, the undersigned Republicans of
Stafford and vicinity, being tired of the
unjust treatment of our section by the
party organization of the county, agree
among ourselves to vote for the entire
Populist county ticket, with the excep-
ton of representative and county COM
missioner.
I'm taking this action we do not re-
nounce our allegiance to the party, but
hope that in resenting the action of our
party organization we may secure in
the future such recognition from the
party as we deserve

cans of the eastern part of the county
and is still growing"
J. w. Creech, of Herington, has an
nounced himself as a candidate for
member of the legislature from Dickin-

of Enterprise, is a candidate for re-
election and is the Burton candidate. J.
r. VanVoorst, of Abilene, is the anti
Burton candidate. Now a third candi
date has butted in and the situation is
considerably complicated.

trict attorney His private secretary.
Col. w. w. Smith, will stay there much
of the time and send out Senator Bur-
toms literature from there. Senator
Burton's mail will also be received
there.

Excelsior Springs. and made arrange
ments for w. ]. Bailey and Chester l.
