GOT FISHERS SCALP.
state House Guide Punished for Help
ing Anti-Burton Crowd

It is said that the turning down of w
II. Fisher as state house guide is the
result of desire on the part of Senator
Burtons friends in Dickinson county,
headed by J B. Case to get even with
Fisher for helping to turn down Case
as a delegate to the Fifth district con-
gressionaI convention last spring. and
also the turning down of the Burton
faction in the election of delegates to the
state convention.
Fisher, who is an old soldier and has
been state house guide for the last four
wears. lives at Abilene when he is at
home. He belongs to the anti-Buftou
crowd, and had considerable to do with
the defeat of the Burton element in the
Dickinson county primaries. Mr.. Case,
who was chairman Of the Fifth district
congressional committee, was even de-
feated for delegate from his home ward
to the county convention, and was then
left off the county delegation to the con-
gressional convention. Senator Burton
came out from Washington to attend
the Fifth district convention and finally
made a deal whereby he got the Dicizin-
son county delegation to allow Case to
remain on the congressional committee.
Hut Fisher was listed for punishment
by The Burton forces at Abilene. Con-
sequently they brought out J. r. Quinn,
another Abeilena man. for Fishers job,
and Mr. Case got Attorney General
Coleman to support him. Then Coleman
asked State Auditor Wells, who knew
nothing of the fight on Fisher, to prom
ise to vote for Quinn. The balance was
easy. Secretary of State Burr0w and
State Treasury Kelly were easily lined
Ip for Quinn so that When it came TO a
vote in the executive council Fisher had
only Governor Bailey and Superiutend-
ent Dayhoff. while Quinn had the other

to securing possession, this obstacle
must first be passed before any outside

A committee from the Republican
state central committee called upon the
Democratic senate and asked that u
committee be appointed for conference.
A committee was chosen, but when the
Republicans made known that their OBJ
ject was to reach a settlement of the
senatorial controversy. the senators de-
clined to treat with them.
The position IS taken that the Demo-
cratic senate could only confer VITA
Republicans from the senate or house.
It is said that the Republican represen-
tatives Of the state central committee
made definite proposition that the SEN
ate should reinstate one of the two Re-
publican senators unseated a few days
ago. thus making the legislature a tie
on joint ballot and preventing the cleo
ton of a United States senator at this
session. 1t is also said that the Demo-

no such proposition would oe agreed to.
