POPULlSTS To WELD
FUSION IN KANSAS
Convention at Topeka Will Com

Topeka. Kas., June 23.-The Populist State
Convention will meet in this city tomorrow
TO nominate candidates for Supreme Judges
Lieutenant Governor. Treasurer, Superin-

Congressman at large. The other places on
the State ticket were filled by the Demo-
cratic State Convention a month ago.
The PopuIists are expected to ratify the
selections made by the Democrats. then
nominate the remainder of the ticket. The
two parties hope to effect fusion and yet
not disobey the provisions of the law
against fusion.
While there is no doubt that the PopuIist
Convention tomorrow will declare for fu-
sion, there is every prospect of a lively
fight. There is quite sprinkl!ng of straight
out PopuliSts among the delegates, led by
John w. Briedenthal, former candidate for
Governor, and these will combat to the end
anything that looks like making terms with
the Democrats. The issue will be closely
fought.
Senator w. A Harris will be temporary
chairman of the convention. He Is salts
factory to both elements of the party. Sem
ator Harris has not prepared speech. He
says he has no keynote to sound. He is
here, he says, to look the situation over

Hugh Farrelly, chairman of the Demo-

all the delegates who sat in the Democratic
convention at Wichita to be in Topeka to
