Kansas State Campaign.

I u
Polls from over one-half of the
voting precincts in the State have
been received at Republican head
quarters and while Chairman Stubs
is not ready to give out figures, he
says that there can be NO question
but that the majority for Roosevelt
and the entire Republican state ticket
will exceed that given any party since
the beginning Of the Populist party
In Kansas.
In nearly every community the re-
turns coming in show that many
Populists are dissatisfied with the
fusion deal made with the Democrats,
and while they will vote for Watson,
they will rebuke their party managers
for the surrender to Democracy by
supporting the Republican state
ticket.
In few communities 10 there evil
dence OF Republican disafection.
Sometime ago there was slight reason
for believing that there might be .
disposition to remember the factional
fighting which preceded the conven-
tions, but this feeling has rapidly dis
appeared and all elements Of the
party are lining up in support of the
Republican ticket. 1t is the usual
thing for those who are disappointed
at conventions to be slow about going
to work, but as one prominent official
expressed 1T recently Republicans
are great hands at voting the Demo-
cratic ticket in September, but when
comes, they do not salve
their disappointment by DESERVING
their party and its principles"
AT Democratic headquarters things
are different. When COL Sapp first
went to Topeka to take charge of the

future, but since the failure Of the
