The result of the Second district pri-
mary evens it up for Stubs on the
Reno county defeat, and goes Reno
one better. Tt Is decided victory for
Stubs and his faction over his Sec
ond district enemies. and viii no doubt
strengthen Stubs candidacy for the
United States senate to succeed J. R.
Burton.
# is also reported that Stubs is to
get the Job OF secretary Of the inter
ior. succeeding Secretary Hitchcock
who is about to retire. The belief in
Washington IS that Stubs has Deen
slated for that job and that his ap-
pointment depended solely upon his
abihfy to win the Second district fight
for Scott.
one of the things which proved to
be an element of weakness for Allen
was the support of T. T. Kelly Kelly
has been arrayed in opposition to Al
zen up TO this time. but because or his
hostility to Stubs, he threw his sup
port to Allen. Kelly was supposed to
be strong power in Miami and John
son counties. Up to the eve of the cleo
ton. Allen had been claiming Miami
county by 500 and Johnson by 200, but
as Ii turned out Scott carried Johnson
by nearly 200, and cut down Aliens
majority in Miami to less than 100.
The really big surprise Of the day
enc 4re@ rar-f
which Scott piled up in his home coun-
ty. He secured bigger majority in
the comparatively small county of
Allen than Allen did in Wyandotte.
Allen also did wen in his home coun-
~, FRANKLIN The Scott people claimed
that they would carry Franklin by 200.
but Allen carried it by $50
Allen Good Loser.
Allen IS a good loser. At 10 o'clock
Saturday night Alien called up Scott
at his home and congratulated him. He
also gave out the following statement:
have g. majority when he reaches
Wyandotte county Of more than 1000
] do not believe my majority In Wyan-
dotte county viii be sufficient to over
come this. If. as 1t now appears Mr..
Scott ts the nominee, he win have my
heartiest support in the campaign for
the general election.
THE campaign OF persC nahtiss which
Mr.. SCOTS mana gers have carried on
n against me has poisoned the minds Of a
great many Of the voters IN the country
The most comfortable reflection I have
ut this hour is that 7 erdeavored to con-
duct clean campaign, and one which
leaves Mr. Scott no false impressions to
overcome and with no unnecessary OBJ
stacles IN the way Of his election"
Mr.. Scott made this statement after
1t became known that he had won
"Of course I am deeply Eratif1ed by
the result which is due to the untirtng
work Of tn most unselfish friends any
man ever mad. 7 am especially pleased
with the magnificent Endorsement Of
my home county. I consider that the
new commission which viii be given to
me In the event that my nomination is
ratified by the people at the polls, VIII
carry with It a command to stand by
the policies Of President Roosevelt in
the great fight he is making for a
square deal for All the ne0ple"
Glorious Victory. says Stubs.
w r. Stubs jubilated as follows:
"This has been the greatest victory
in the history of Kansas Both the
elements Of the old machine were
against Mr.. Scott. while the opposition
had almost unlimited funds The rail-
road corporations in the state, without
exception, used every influence at their
command to defeat MI Scott The
railroads sent their personal repre-
Eentatives up and down eae treets Of
Lawrence making a bitter fight for
Allen.
''The campaign made by Mr.. Scott
was most remarkable one Not one
dollar was spent to buy votes. It was
an ideal and perfect campaign Had
the roads been Dassa Bile. MT. Scott's
majority would have been from 5000
to 1000 more than it was Another
exceptional feature in Mr.. SCOTS cam
paign was that he did not promise a
postmastership or any other bit Of pat
rOnaEe to any one
''The two clements of the old ma
chine thought they had this district
re7ved up for Alien. Two months ago
they had. Then they made it appear
that T was SCOTS manager and that by
beating Scott they had me licked out
of my boots In that way they eX-
pected to eliminate me They ultder-
took to do the same thing in the legls-
lature last session They referred to
me as boss and smoke Of chH house
as Stubs house. They parcellea dut
the important bills so that the lobbyist
might move the easier upon them. II
IS g glorious victory for mr.. scout and
am feeling pretty fair, thank YOU
Grant Eornaday. OF Fort Scott who
was one Of the chief hackers Of Henry
Allen had this to say Of the result Of
the fight.
''The result in Bourbon county is
verv era Trying to myself and the
friends of Henry Allen. Our most
sansuine friends did not dream Of
carr gAAlA 2 orr SCOT IS SlCu an oN %
whelming majority. While I did not
consider myself an issue at all In this
contest between Scott and Allen. yet
the fact that Mr. SCOTS local man
ayers threw down the challenge which
resulted so adversely for them is
naturally a pleasing consequence. But
YOU can say for me that my friends
and Aliens friends VIII be found
loyalty supporting the candidate who
received enough votes in other coun-
ties TO nominate him"
AS a further proof that Mr. Hornaday
means Just what he says. ne sent the
following teIegran to Charles T. Scott
in lola:
'The friends Of Henry Allen in Bour-
hon county. congratulate you upon yes
terday's result and pledge you the
same loyalty at the polls that was ac-
aorded Mr.. Allen IN the primary contest
