In case fusion can be effected, Judge
David NJ. Dale Of Wichita will be nom
mated for governor. Judge Dale is .
Democrat. Other state OFFICES viii be
given TO the Populists Judge Dale
says he viii accept the nomination only
on condition that fusion deal with

vent fusion, il viii bolt tomorrow and
nominate a straight POpulist ticket.
The only element of uncertainty
about the action of the POpulists is how

declare for fusion. There is some talk
among the middfe~Of- the-roaders of
