NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Many Republican County Con-
ventions Were Held.

Saturday seems to have been pretty
good day for Congressman Longs Sena-
torial boom. He is supposed to have
secured three out of six Republican can
didateS for the legislature nominated
other two express no preference, it is
understood that they will be for Long
Calderhead secures one and the other
two are doubtful.
County conventions were held Satur-
day in Wilson, Geary, Coffey, Ford.
Chase and Graham counties Wilson,
Ford and Chase are the counties which
are counted for Long Geary, in the
Fifth district, declared for Calderhead.
S. S. Kirkpatrick, ex-congressman
from the Third district was nominated
for the legislature in Wilson county.
He stated that his personal preference
in the senatorial race is Long, unless
he should be instructed otherwise. An
attempt was made to pass instructions
for Curtis, but the resolution was
tabled. Long was present at the con-
ventiOn and made a speech, as was also
P. p. Campbell
In Chase county Ed Crocker was
named for representative, and while
there were no instructions he is said
to- be for Long, as is also c. M. Beeson,
who was nominated in Ford county.
Chase county endorsed Ed Hoch for
state printer
The Geary county nominee is G. w.
heads candidacy both for congressman
and senator were endorsed. The Geary
county convention also passed a reso-
luton denouncing the attack which is
lican candidate for state treasurer
From this it would appear<that Geary
county. Republicans endorse official dis
honesty. Senator Burton was also COM
mended, and the candidacy of George A.
Clark for state printer was endorsed.
w. H. WyckOff was nominated for
member of the legislature from Coffey
county, without instructions or any sort
of expression with reference to either
senator state printer. A Law, who
is the Republican nominee in Graham
county, is also unpledgId on both propo-
sitions.
