DR.. Keith was dismissed from the
Shawnee County Medical sociSty few
weeks ago and he claims it was done to
injure him because the other doctors
are Jealous of his success. The charge
made against Keith was ''unprofession-
al conduct" In private conversation
the leading doctors of the city make
very grave charges against Dr. Keith.
AS between these two bitterly con-
tending factions DR.. Taylor may get a
good vote and it would not be surpriS
ing if he should at least run second in
the race. Keith's friends claim, how
ever, that Taylor can not get all the
colored votes, because Keith is popular
with the coIored people.
For a while Keith was very popu-
lar in the betting, and two offers of
SO hung on the board for some time
without takers. Today, however, both
of those offers were taken, and a bet of
$40 even offered that Keith would not
be nominated. This has not yet been
taken, but probably will be. Keith
claims that the hostile physicians of
the city are the ones who have taken
up these bets, in order to make it ap-
pear that he is losing strength.
BELTS MAY WIN.
1t has been regarded that the race be-
tween Belts and Clancy for state sena-
tor would be as close as any to be
fought out Today the drift of opinion
seems to be toward Belts. A man came
into Eagles cigar store Thursday night
offering to bet $1oo to $50 that Belts
would be elected. There was no one
there to take the offer.
OTHER CONTESTS.
One of the most interesting fights is
between Robert Stone and w. W. Har-
ninth district Stone is doing his best
to make it appear that Harvey has the
support of State Printer George Clark.
though Harvey denies that he has the
backing of any candidate for state
printer.
John r. Carter is likely to beat w.
H. Wasson for superintendent. The
bets, such as are being made, run about
even. A mistake was made in printing
the ballots, by which Carter's initials
were given as John F. instead of John
R. A large portion of these incorrect
ballots were sent out before the mistake
was discovered. All ballots now being
sent out are being corrected with pen
and ink, but the best the county com
mittee could do about those which had
gone was to write to the supervisors in
structing them to change the initial on
the ballot before giving it out to the
voter Mr.. Carter was very much agi-
tated about this blunder, and has an
attorney to take care of the matter for
him.
Political meetings are being held in
great Drofusion now. Last night and
tonight there are meetings in every
ward and every precinct. Thursday
night the "McCabe club" had a rally
at the Industrial hall at 1725 Kansas
avenue. Today handbills were dis
tributed announcing an A. D. Dana

dustrial school. 1725 South Kansas ave-
