BOTH ARE IN IT.
w. Y. Morgan, of Hutchinson,
Reiterates His Statements.
Neither Bone Nor DayhOf viii
Quit Race.
MAKES A STATEMENT.
Ashland Man Says He Hasn't
Given Up.
Mr.. McNeaI Issues a New Guber-
material Bulletin.
EAKES A STATEMENT.

w. z. Morgan, state printer and editor
of the Hutchinson News, denies that
either Harry Bone or I. L. Dayhof have
ceased sprinting after the respective
offices which they have been camping
behind. According to Mr.. Morgan,
neither of them has lost the trail but
are hot after the game with a good
prospect Of catching it.
Upon the election of Orie Morse as
railroad commissioner IL was commonly
believed in political circles that Mr.
DayhOff, who lives in the same town as
Mr. Morse would withdraw from the
race and allow the Seventh district to
throw its solid support to Frank Nelson,
who made Mr. Morse's election as rail-
road commissioner possible. But Mr..
Morgan, who Is a friend OF both men,
denies this.
I admit that it would look that way
upon the surface" said Mr. Morgan
but there is really nothing in it. Day
hOff is still in the race more than ever
and 1 believe he will be nominated"
A report was also started about ten
days ago that Harry Bone had stopped
his canvass for attorney general IN or
der to get out of the way of other Sew
enth district candidates for state offices,
and particularly c. H. Luling, of Sedg-
wick county, who wants to be superin-
tendent Of insurance. The report was
not given eredence by the newspaper
appear to be doing anything in the can
Vass, the story finally received some
credence and was published as a rumor.
Il saw Mr.. Bone few days ago,
said Mr.. Morgan, "and he has simply
been at his home in Ashland getting
things in readiness to get out and make
a personal canvass. He has been wait
ing, too, for the gubernatorial contest to
become settled, and as that is now we'll
out Of the way, there is nothing to hin
der his work. He will be in the race up
to the time the convention meets"
Mr.. Bone also has sent out the follow
ing statement from Ashland:
I have no intention whatever of with
drawing from the race and nothing has
yet happened in connection with the
election of railroad commissioner that
effects my candidacy I will remain in
the race until the convention at Wichita
decides the matter. Under these c1rcuTn-
stances and from assurances which
have received, not only from this dis
trict but from over the state, / see no
reason why anyone should maliciously
and unwarrantably state that 1 intend
to withdraw from the race.
I have been kept at home by reason
of my private affairs and our court.
which has just closed, but I am now so
situated that can devote my entire
time to my candidacy until the cOnven-
ton meets. which I intend to do, and
will be in it to the finish"
Tom McNeal does not agree with
Morton Albaugh that the gubernatOrial
contest is past the figuring stage, and
he has commenced to figure again.
This time Mr. McNeal makes some fig-
ures on the per cent. plan. His per-
centages prove to him that Troutman
is in the lead in the race, and that
Bailey comes second.
He figures his percentages by dis
tricts and here they are:
First district-Troutman SO per cent;
Bailey, 80 per cent; the three other can
didates, Richter, Enright and Miller,
combined, 20 per cent.
Second distriet-Troutman, 35 per
cent; Bailey, 25 per cent; the three
others combined. 40 per cent.
Third district-Troutman 70 per
cent; Bailey. 20 per cent; the three 9th
ers combined, 10 per cent.
Fourth district-Troutman about )
per cent; Bailey, 10 per cent; the
three others combined, SIS per cent
Fifth district-Troutman, 20 per cent;
Bailey, so per cent; the three others,
20 per cent.
Sixth Observation-Disclosures so per cent;
Bailey. 10 per cent; the three others,
So per cent.
Seventh district-Troutman 20 per
cent; Bailey, so per cent; the three
others, 20 per cent.
Mr. McNeaI does not figure out the
number of delegates this gives to each
candidate, but little mathematical
calculation quickly shows. The Varl-
Gus congressional districts will be rep
resented in the state convention as fol-
lows: First, 1856; Second, 1852; Third IA;
Fourth, 1872; Fifth. 122; Sixth, 124; Sew
enth, POL
Applying Mr. McNeaPs percentages.
the various districts will be divided
among the candidates as follows.
First-Troutman 70; Bailey, AZ; 9TH
ers, 81.
others, 81.
