arrive IN the city this morning and tho
friends Of pCstponemene indulge the hope
that when the biz delegation comes in
the complexion Of things VIII change.
i VIII not. The dye Is cast and Wyan-
dctte county cannot alter the inevitable
result.
Mack Love IS not out Of the race for
state chairman. 1t has been inferred
here locally that he was. but he assured
a reporter for the Eagle yesterday that
he IS q candidate The sight fer chair
nan is red hot, although not bitter.
George T. Pitts Of Wellington seems TO
be the leading candidate. although the
friends Of Hugh P. Farrelly seem 10 be
confident that he viii be q winner. The
leaders are probably for Mr. Love and
their influence is feared. John T. Stew
art. the only millionaire In Kansas"
IS up from Wellington helping Dir. Pitts
They have been associated in politics
and business matters for twenty years.
Glen spruance. o. Hackney. Ed Hack
ney and other prominent Sumner county
Democrats are also working hard for
him. They say that M Pitts has done
more for Democracy in Sumner county
and the Seventh congressional district
than any living man and that he ought
u be promoted. II is understood that Mr.
Pitts VIII have the solid support OF the
Seventh district on account of his mag
ridcent tactical campaign for Claude
Duval two years ago. Mr.. Duval came
down 10 testify TO this and he is doing
good work for Nr Pitts.
The nearest approach 10 personality
In the campaign for the craftsmanship
f. the report circulated yesterday that
the sole object OF Hugh p. Farrely ia
seeking the Craftsmanship is TO turn the
state over 10 David 3. Hill for president.
This report was current all day, but its
source could not De run down. 1t was
also charged against him that he is too
radical a Democrat 10 promote the pur-
pose of the party 10 swallow the Popu-
list party. II can be said, however. and
Is said by his friends. that Mr.. Farrelly
Is a thorough fusiOnist and that his rec
ord in the Third district will bear out
that statement IT cannot be charged
that Mr.. Farrelly is not a man of abn-
ity. for he Is. lie is one of the brightest
men in the party.
: Mack Love is opposed solely be-
cause he has held the position long
enough. He has been chairman nov
about four terms. lie has made some
enemies. for he lacks, It IS said, diplo-
macy. one thing can be said OF him.
and that IT, that he is a Democrat. and
has always worked absolutely for the
best interests OF the party as he saw
them.
Frank Thomas Of Topeka. treasurer of
the committee for years. IS said 10 be a
candidate. but the fact that he did not
reach Wichita until last night is cited
as evidence that he is only a recep- /
tive candidate.
The fact that the state convention
elected J 9. Johnson national commit
tccman six years ago is cited as justifi-
cation why the convention this year
should elect state chairman
trtlttiaA AAdllFS 1ltAltlul OF ArdFntAL IS
opposing ". H. I. Pepperell for secre-
tary. This fight is overshadowed by the
bigger GEht for chairman. Mr. Pep
peren has been for years secretary Of
the committee and the Fifth district is
unanimously behind him for reelection.
Charlie MtCrum was brigadier general
or the state militia under Governor Leedy
and went 10 the Spanish-American war
aa lieutenant colonel. He is a man Of
splendid character and ability The best
opinion. however. seems To be that Billy
pepperen's experience viii carry the fight
for him.
