complication Of plans that serves te
cheat the Red man out Of his allot'
ment after he has secured some claim
to 1t. /
The trust company seems to be the
specific from which this modern form
Of graftism takes in the territory.
This is the modus opsrandus: Sup
pose an Indian with six children
comes into the government station
and asks for his allotment. The
agent, who is interested both in the
allotment and in the trust company,
finds for the Indian the 1900 acres
to which he and bis family are en-
titled. Immediately he leases the
land from the recipient. A few min
utes later the lease Is transferred to a
cattle company or settler at twice the
price and the agent pockets the differ,
ence.
The settler is an equal sufferer
with the Indian and the government
owes it TO him as we'll as to the Red
man to stop the robbery.

Conner Davies Reply.

The "machine" seems to have wok,
up the wrong man when 1t attacked
Conner Davies, editor OF the Con
cordia Ksnsan. His red hot reply &c
Chairman Albaugh will be o classic
in political literature for . long time
to come, IT. tells some wholesome
truths about the machines methods
In q way that will meet with hearty
appreciation. Mr.. Albaugh accused
Mr.. Davies Of trying to sell out, Civ
ing q man now dead as authority.
Mr.. Davies says 1t is falsehood.
The people af the Fifth district know
Conner Davies. He has not always
agreed with the rest Of us politically
but he has been honest. His paper
has told the truth regarding his own
position oil the time--and the people
Of this district and Of the state will
believe he tells the truth now.
The machine seems to be, desper-
ate. Mr.. Albaugh's statement in
Sundays Capital, II amt running
Tor any office, I'm not hunting har-
nony," indicates its attitude toward
Ill who do mot agree with it. Mr..
Davies scorching arraignment will
,nly tend to increase the feeling
'gainst this sort Of management Of 3
yreat party and make it's success
more difficult.

Mr.. Albaugh'o Bet.

The chairman Of the Republica

baugh, In an endeavor to defend th
recent Legislatures extravaganza ha
lput up the fool claim that the stat

Lewelling style Of politics that he
will gamble his Office Of banl
commissioner against Mr., Kelly's po'
sition as state treasurer the loser to
resign.
MIR. Albaugh, 1t seems, is not even
square in his gamble. His Office ID
appointive; MIR. Kelly's 10 elective.
Is 1t possible that Mr.. Albaugh has
SO little respect for q state Office as to
consider It parceled out to be
gambled, sold or swapped whenever
1t is likely to help the "machineP"
The office Of treasurer Of the state is
given BY the people Of Kansas, Mr..
Kelly was nominated by great party
and elected by the voters Of Kansas.
His Office IL trust. 1t Is not
gamblers stock in trade nor would il

Albaugh should lose, as be certainly

be reappointsd by Gov. Bailey In not
more than fifteen minutes. Should
Mr.. Kelley resign he would not be re-
slected. The "mAChine" has cinch |
IN the bet--"heads win, tails you

The attitude and action OF the
chairman Of the state central COM
nittes offering to gamble his Office as
commissioner Of the states banks
must be highly pleasing one to the

'sThe friends Of National Commit
teeman Mulvane are awake to thu
fight that has been quietly organized
on him in various sections Of the

Mr.. Mulvane's friends that several
Republicans have been approached in
different count ies-an old trick Of the
machine-on the proposition to run
for national delegates. II Republic
cans unfriendly to Mr.. Mulvans can
be quietly brought out for delegates
they can at the proper time be swung
to the real choice OF the machine and
Mulvane defeated. This is the fAmil-
lar trick in every instance where o
strong and popular man is to be beat
en-. Mr.. Mulvane's friends, however,
are aware Of what is doing and have
not been caught mapping. II they
are wise they will get to work in
earnest to insure his reelection as
national committeeman in every

"Mr. Mulvane is entitled to reelec-
tion as adiligent and faithful national
