DARK FOR TOPEKA.
Little Likelihood That Republic.
can Convention VIII Come.

When the Republican state central
committee meets at the COPELAND next
Tuesday evening it will have four
propositions to pass upon: First, the
time for holding the Republican state
convention; second, the place; third, the
basis OF representation: and fourth,
whether the Leavenworth soldiers
home shall be included in Leavenworth
county or given a separate delegation.
and whether it shall be allowed dele
gates for all the inmates in the home
or only on the basis of the number of
Republican votes cast last fall.
1t seems pretty certain that the con-
vention will be held early in March, al
though some of the Burton forces are
arguing in favor of putting it off ''to
see what turns uD.' 1t is quite prob
able that the date will be Wednesday.
March 9. or the day following.
AS to the place, there is more doubt.
If the fight against Governor Bailey
and his friends had stopped with the
announcement of Mr. Hoch that he
would not be q candidate for governor
been given the convention with almost
no opposition. Certain Topeka inf1u-
ences, however, have continued to
abuse Governor Bailey, and while it is
recognized that fight on him person
ally is now futile, it has simply been
transferred to State Chairman AL
baugh, but it is still directed against
Baileys administration. 1t is hoped by
those making the fight that the Burton
element may thus be enabled to cap
ture at least part of the Kansas dele
cation to the Republican national con-
vention. Because some of the members
of the state committee do not like the
fight that is being made by certain To-
peka newspapers and other political in
fiuences they will probably vote to take
the convention to Wichita instead of
Topeka. H. J. Allen, of Ottawa says
he will vote for Fort Scott. That is
in the district where he is running for
congress
The basis of representation will prob
ably be one delegate for each 200 votes
or major fraction thereof cast for sec
rotary of state last year. and one dele
gate-at-large for each county. This
viii make a convention of 901 delegates.

THOMAS IS BACK.
Leavenworth Agent Of Santa Fe
Reinstated.

It was announced today at the Sant1
Fe general offices in this city that J.
@. Thomas has been reinstated as general
agent of the freight department at Leav-
enworth.
Several weeks ago the Santa Fe sus-
pected some one of padding their pay
rolls at Leavenworth. Travelling audit
ors went to that point to check up the
books and several clerks were sent from
the ticket auditing department in this
city to check up the ticket cases in the
company's office at that place. Every
thing was done quietly and no fuss was
made, but it finally leaked out in some
way Naturally the blame devolved upon
J. O. Thomas, who at that time was gem
eral agent for the Santa F'e at Leayen-
worth. 1t was stated that Mr.. Thomas
was implicated in some way and that he
had been discharged and other reports of
a similar character were circulated.
The Santa Fe then held thorough in
vestigation, but the outcome of the in
vestigation was not given out. Since
charge at Leavenworth and this fact, to-
gether with other reports, made things
look bad for Mr. Thomas. The fact
that he has been reinstated at LeaVen-
worth however, is conclusive evidence
that he has been cleared completely.
Mr. J. Q. Thomas, agent for the Santa
Fe at Leavenworth, is a former Topeka
man. He was employed for several years
in the general freight department and
had many friends in Topeka. none of
whom could be convinced that he was
guilty of the charges brought against

day announced his candidacy is c. ?.

MR.. DARBY RETURNS.
He Gives His Side Of the Ottawa
Trouble

Sergeant Tom Darby, of the police
force, returned last night from Ottawa,
where he was spending his vacation.
This is Mr.. Darby's version of the trou-
BILE in Ottawa: Thursday, Darby was
accosted by Dave" Stiles, an ottawa
man who claims that Darby owes him
something on a business transaction
which occurred six or eight years ago.
Stiles was in a wagon, and driving up
to Darby demanded payment. Darby
told him that the matter had been
squared for several years, and that he
owed nothing. Stiles then hit Darby
in the eye with the butt end of a whip.
Darby grabbed the man and held him
until the police arrived and took
charge of him. Stiles was fined $12 in
the Ottawa police court yesterday, and
then Darby came away wearing a
black eye. He says that Stiles is weak
minded. and hardly responsible for his
actions.
