POLITICAL GOSSIP.
HOnors Were Even With Republican
Factions on Tuesday.

The Republicans in two counties
nominated county tickets Iuesday-
They were in Butler and Rice cOun-
ties. HOnOrs We're evenly divided be-
tween the two opposing factions. The
boss busters named the representative
in Rice county and one of the two
representatives. in Butler. The friends
of Governor Bailey named the state
senator and one representative in
Butler.
As was indicated by last weeks
primaries, ]. B. Adams, who has been
representative from the north dis
trict of Butler county for three terms,
was nominated for state senator,
Notwithstanding the boss busters cen
tered their fight on him. Not only did
Adams have the regular boss busters
to fight, but he also had the American
Book company lined up and making a
hard fight against him. Senator
Leidy, who was a candidate for re-
election, was recognized as one of the
legislative friends of the American
Book company, and the book trust
wanted to keep him there.
5. P. Brandon was renOminated for
representative in the south district.
He is a leading boss buster, but there
was no candidate against him. In the
north district A ]. Ralston was
named for representative over Bruce
Leydig, the boss buster candidate.
The other county nominees are as fol-

Kansas City, June S.-The seventh
annual convention of the Kansas
Grain Dealers association was called

were given.

dent J. E. Seaver of the Kansas City

grain men on behalf of that body A
second response was made by w. S.
Washer, of Atchison-
Following Mr.. Washer came Judge
| WhiteSide, of Hutchinson, who made
quite an address on the Japan Rus
! sian war, dealing somewhat with its
effects on the grain growers and
dealers of the United States. His idea
is that the markets here win not be
much affected, as Russia uses rye
very largely, While the japanese eat
rice.
At the conclusion of Judge White
sides talk, the first formal paper of
the afternoon was presented by J. w.
Radford, chief inspector. Kansas City,
Kan, who told of The Value of a
DISTINGUISHED Weighing Department to
the Grain Trade" Mr.. Radford held
that complaints, when everyone weigh
ed grain, were so numerous that no one
would trust anOther'S weights. and
shortages and claims were numerous.
With honest scales and honest weigh
ers, the present system guaranteed per
feet fairness to everyone. This system
is not yet wholly perfect; if an elevator
owner wants to give false weights it
may be possible to do so, but every pos
sible precaution is taken. In ten months

ing man of Boston, in the latter's room
on the second floor of the Ten Eyck
hotel. Preusser then quietly walked
down the stairs. through the lobby
where a dozen people were sitting and
out to the street to police headquarters.
At the entrance of the latter building
he met two officers who were on thier
way to the Ten Eyck having been tele-
phoned for.
To them Preusser said in quiet
tone: i've just killed Mcdonnell and
1 came to give myself up
He then obtained permission to use
the telephone and informed his wife
that ne had killed Mcdonnell and was
then at police headquarters where he
had given himself up Mrs Preusser
arrived at headquarters few minutes
afterward and the two had a long talk
in the chiefs private office after which
Preusser was placed behind the bars.
In court later Preusser's counsel
waived examination and he was sent to
Jail on a charge of murder in the first
degree. His friends claim that his mind
is affected.

culated to disgust men who believe in

pat for the whole ticket, ought in
fairness to the lay voter at least to
| be able to lay their hands on their
hearts and say, ct believe that all Of
the nominees are honest men, and that
T. T. Kelly is especially so; that he
has always been honest, and was in
no wise responsible for the defeat of
the bill giving the state interest on its
own money" If they cannot do this
they ought to, and doubtless will, let
the lay voter do his own thinking, and
allow him to scratch to suit the die
tates of his own conscience.
Coming nearer home and getting
down to the county ticket, we believe
every man thereon, as nominated by
the Republicans of this county, is en-
titled to the full party vote. If in
failing to get Il any are defeated, it
will mean a victory for the Demo-
Pops that will last and be felt in COM
ing elections.

RECORD GIVES UP.
Organ of Strikers Asks Federation to
Call on Strike.

Victor, Col. June S.-The Record.
owned and edited by George E. Kyner
and recognized as the official organ OF
the Western Federation of Miners in
the Cripple Creek district, published an
editorial today urging the miners to
call off the strike which was Inaugural
ted ten months ago.
The article says:
The sentiment is growing against
the Western Federation of Miners on
account of its continuing the strike.
There are few people who believe that
this organization of miners is response
Bile for crimes that have been commit
ted here except that if the strike had
not been called and continued so long
htese dynamitings would not have oc-
CURED and in that respect the strike is
responsible for this outrage. Whether
there was justice in the calling of it or
not, in the interest of the men and wo-
men who have made the Cripple Creek
district their homes, the Record asks
the Western Federation of Miners to
call off the strike. Miners living in this
district are losing their homes or be
ing obliged to go away and leave them.
None of them when they express this
as their convictions as many of them
have to the writer believes there is
any chance of winning the strike, but
that the longer it is kept going, the
further they are away from securing
