Nomination.
Second District Democrats Meet
at Olathe Today.
w. A. TRIGG is NAMED.
VIII Make Race for Representa-
tive in Anderson.
Chairman Stubs Goes to Chica-
go to Get Pointers.
w. A. TRIGG is NAMED.

gressional district are holding then
congressional convention at Olathe this
afternoon to nominate a candidate
against Congressman Bowersock. and
1t is generally understood that c. F.
Eutchings of Kansas City. Kan. will
be the man.
Hutchings has consented to run If he
receives the nomination unanimously.
Most of the counties of the Second
district have instructed for him, and
the only one which has instructed 9TH
arwise has been Anderson. That in
structed for Noah Bowman. Bowman
has not been an active candidate, and
for that reason Anderson will probably
Join in making the nomination of
Hutchings unanimous.
The Democrats believe they have a
show to elect a congressman in the
Second district this fall. If the cleo
ton. had been held soon after the Re
publican Congressional convention at
Garrett last March their belief would
undoubtedly have been correct. Wheth-
er 1t will be correct on November s
depends upon how successful the eff
forts are TO quiet the fight on Bower
sock in the Second district.
1t is undoubtedly true that the fight
on BowerSock is not nearly so Violent
as il was a few months ago. H. J. Al
len is supporting BOwersock in his pa
per-not because he has any love or
admiration for the Second district con-
gresham. but because a Republican
congressman from the Second district
viii support the policies of President
Roosevelt where Democrat might not
do So
At the same time there will doubtless
be a good many Republican votes cast
against Bowersock. This will be eSpec-
Tally true in Wyandotte county, which
gave Bowersock 4 majority of over
thousand two years ago. Miami coun-
ty is another which will go strong
against Bowersock because Bowersock
tied himself up with T. J. Kelly and
Joined with Kelly in stealing a delega-
ton from that county. There is also
more or less detection in most of the
other counties of the district, but
ton day 10 defeat Bowersock is a ques-
tion which depends largely on the
Democratic campaign.
