were those who went with Nat Barnes
into his 'rump' convention in the fore
noon with the help of a few men
delegates, nominated a trump tickle
and selected delegates to the state and
congressional conventions"
The Kansas City Journal, which was
against McGrew, contains the follow

was not much excuse for the Barnes
convention:
Two conventions were held in Kan
Republicans, one composed of the dele
gates elected at the primary last
Thursday, and the other of anti
machine men, who affirm that the cleo
ton was unfair.
THE convention held by the anti
machine Republicans was composed al
most wholly of Nat Barnes supporters,
many of the other boss busters refus-
ing to take part with them. Among
the latter class were all of the city hall
officials. L. G. Smith was chairman of
this convention, Alex Eagle was secre-
tary, and T.. J.. Hayes assistant secre-
tary- The real purpose of the separate
convention was to sen a delegation to
Garnett March 2 to support Barnes for
congress-"
Both conventions nominated county
tickets, and the county election board
will decide which one shall go on the
ballot as the official Republican ticket.
The county election board is composed
of the county attorney, clerk of the
district court and county clerk. Two
of these are nominees of the McGrew
convention, and it is said that they are
therefore disqualified to sit in the con-
test. The county clerk is a Democrat
and he will have the deciding of the
matter.
