Kansas City. Mo-. April 26.-The pri-
maries to decide upon a candidate for
Governor to run upon the Democratic tick
ct will be held in Jackson County some
time in May. The date has not yet been
fixed.
This is tie home county Of James A.
Reed. former Mayor. and the friends Of
Reed have claimed the county with con-
fidenca until the recent city election. when
a Republican Mayor was elected. owing
to split In the Democratic party, which
had two tickets In the field. Since that
time every county. with he exception Of
!. Jasper, has rolled ino the Folk column.
Reed has lost his city patronage, and the
night for Reed has gone to pieces! 1t is
condeded by the Reed followers that the
county will be close. This is denied by
ony ens k S osa She Sas w isa ss y Sses Big
margin.
II the primaries had been held month
ago. when Reed was stu "a, very y,d stsons sons
meant that Jackson County. which in
cludes Kansas City, would have been in
the Reed column. but even then the race
was a degree Of local sentiment that the
county ought to give the Kansas City
Mayor it's vote because he was g Jackson
County man. but this feeling has disap-
peared to q large degree and the two
candidates will fight upon equal terms.
Some of Reeds strongest supporters.
notably Ed. f. Yates, are open in their
declaration that Reed should withdraw.
as he now has no chance
Folk has a majority Of the County Conn
mittee. and there is no question but that
when the primaries are held they will
come when they can least beneat Reed.

Is not merely a claim. but my own per.
sonal belief after a careful canvass Of
the situation. Reeds organization is down
and politicians won't work without pay.
The only thing that is, surprising Reeds
friends is that he does not withdraw"
There is a Folk club In every ward in

a big Folk vote out: Public sentiment
among Democrats who are not party

University Used Three Pitchers In an At.

Three pitchers could not win for the
University of Minnesota against Notre
Dame yesterday, and the boosters went
off the field victorious over the gophers
with a score Of u to 8. Brown was first
put on the slab for the locals, but gave
way early in the game, and was sue
ceeded by Bond, who held out to the
sixth inning, and was replaced by Rogers.
All three pitchers showed lack of con-
troll and many passes were given, tho the
hits secured off them were well scattered.
So many of the men being injured changes
were made, the men being tried out at
different positions. Hugh Leach, Linne-
han and Brigham, catchers, all had broken
fingers, and Leach was substituted behind
the bat. He caught a fair game under
the circumstances. O'Gorman, twirling
for the visitors, was effective, and good
support won the game,

LOOKING FOR A QUARTERBACK.
Assistant Coach Dobie Has His Eye Upor
Likely Candidates,

Linehan, the speedy centerfielder of the

as candidate for quarterback for the
football eleven. Linehan played in that
position for five years on the River Falls,
Wis.,, High school team and is thought
to be promising timber. Since Varco's
announcement that he would not play this
year Sig Harris has been looked upon as a
candidate for his position unless O'Brien
should return to the game.
It is announced that brother of Ed
Rogers. the former star player, would
also try for the quarterback distinction
Should O'Brien decide to try again for his
old position pretty fight for the place
would be developed.
