The delegates elected to the congress
sional convention are Frank Harlow,
Geo. L. Hay, c. A. Newman, w. f.
Murray, H. T. Reed, John Schuman
and H. T. Purcell.
The Lawrence Gazette says: 1.-The
talk about Stubs being given the best
office at the disposal of Governor
/ Hoch,' sounds very funny to any one
who knows Stubs. He had a chance
/ TO be governor himself once, and re-
FUSED to consider the matter. There IS
but one job of a political nature that
Mr.. Stubs would take, outside of his
little legislative affair, and Senator
Burton holds that for two years yet
This seems to indicate that Mr.. Stubbs
will be a senatorial possibility when
Senator Burton steps out.
The first intimation the anti-Bailey
forces had of Governor Bailey'S with
drawal Saturday afternoon was when
they read it in the State Journal. They
could scarcely believeft then, although
! they had been predicting it for several
/ days. They had expected a hard fight,
/ and had not counted on Governor
/ Baileys loyalty to the extent that he
would sacrifice his personal ambition
rather than disrupt his party.
w. r. Stubs. chairman of the Hoch
movement. was not at the Hoch head
/ quarters at the time the withdrawal
was first learned A State Journal re-
| porter caught him by telephone as he
| was leaving the city for Lawrence. Mr..
! Stubs could scarcely credit the report.
Later the following was issued by
| Chairman Stubs and Secretary Miller:
ITO the Anti-Machine Republicans:
1.-The contest against the machine and
for clean methods in Kansas politics
has been won, but we urge upon all the
! friends everywhere in Kansas to see to
it now that Republicans are selected
as delegates to the state convention and
4I,z fr,f troll
mittee who will be true to the interests
involved in the fight that has been
made.
1--WE want a state central committee
and chairman who will assist in the
election of the Republican ticket to be
nominated at Wichita. 1t is up to the
people now to see to it that their vic
tory is made doubly secure.
wv. R. STUBBS, President.
CLYDE w. MILLER, Secretary.
Topeka, Jan. 30
This was for the purpose of securing
complete control of the party machin-
cry. The men who have been fighting
/ Governor Bailey are very bitter against
| Morton Albaugh, chairman of the state
committee, and they propose that be
shall not be allowed to remain at the
head of the committee. Therefore the

Ottawa, Kan, Feb. IA meeting of
Ottawa Republicans, called for Satur-
day night to organize a Hoch club, was
turned into a Republican love feast, at
which resolutions were adopted indors-
| ing Roosevelt and Hoch, Henry J. Al
len for congress and praising the per-
sonal honor and integrity of Governor
! Bailey. Friends of Governor Bailey,
among them H. J. Allen, Joined in the
meeting and pledged support to Hoch,
after expressing their admiration for
Governor Bailey. The meeting was dis
tinctly a harmony event.
Rurlingame. Kan, Feb. AT the Re
publican primaries held here Saturday
afternoon, the Bailey delegation, headed
| by Speaker Pringle, won out by a vote
of 267 to 1873. This is the largest dele
| cation in the county. Hoch spoke here
Monday night. The report that Pringle
had deserted Bailey and was working
for Hoch was without foundation.
HONEST TOM WINS.
The editor of the Atchison Globe is
! a Republican, but its editor, E. w.
| Howe. is thoroughly independent and
will not stand minute for Tom Kelly,
! present state treasurer, proven forger
in Miami county, and responsible more
| than any one man for the increased
| unjust taxes upon the people. The
Globe saws on these lines, under the
| above heading:
The Globe has contended that Gov
ernor Bailey has been treated unfairly.
| considering that he is a clean. worthy
and useful citizen of Kansas. The
best man among the present state
officers. he is to be turned down, and
no one outside of a professional poll
| tician can tell the reason why.
This is the universal opinion about
Bailey: he is q wholesome, honest,
worthy man. and a citizen who has
| done creditabIe things for Kansas
Still, Bailey is to be turned down
and all the other state officers renomi-
mated. This endorsement will include
| Kelly. state treasurer who was con-
| victed of forging county warrants in
| Miami county while county clerk. Tom
| Kelly is also the man who receives in
terest on the states large cash bal
ance, and who prevented the ADOPTION
of a law giving the state interest on
its own money. It has been charged
that Tom Kelly largely increased taxa
ton this year. in order to increase the
| amount of money on which he could
| draw interest. Still. Tom Kelly will
be endorsed and renominated. while
