| News comes from Wyandotte county
| that the boss buster crowd, which was
responsible for the bolting Barnes del
| egation to the Second district congress
sional convention, which Bowersock
needed to nominate him. has laid down
| in its fight on the regular Republican
county ticket and that Bowersock him
self will now recognize the regular. or
Peterson, county organization. This is
an acknowledgment that Wyandotte
county was against Bowersock in the
congressional convention, and that the
trump delegation which was seated in
the state convention at Wichita, also
had no rights. The crowd that was
responsible for the Kelly-Bowersock
rump delegations from Miami county
has also been repudiated and has no
standing in that county. These rump
delegations served their purposes, how
ever, in securing for BowersOck a nom
ination to which he was not entitled,
and in backing T. T. Kelly for renom-
ination as state treasurer when his
home county was overwhelmingly
against him.

George Hodges of Olathe was nouf-
mated Thursday by the Democrats of
the Johnson-M Miami senatorial district
for state senator. E. A. Gilbert of
Fontana, who had been nominated by

A Chicago dispatch quotes John P.
St John, who is campaigning for the
Prohibition ticket, as follows:
THE Prohibition ticket will poll ;
more votes than it has ever polled in
the history of the movement. I am
looking to see it get from a half mil I
lion to a million votes. I

all the central western states. Parker {
will carry the solid south, Maryland I
