me Fourth ward caucus held at the
city court room was well represented
with law and order people, and this was
the fact that DR. W. c. Evans. pastor
of the First Methodist church. sent all
I the Fourth ward residents from his
prayer meeting to the caucus.
About twenty men living in the
Fourth ward were at the prayer meet
4 ing. Dr. Evans arose and said to them:
/ Il should like to have you here tonight.
! but I believe that you can serve the
/ Lord better by attending the caucus
/ than remaining a { this meeting. I want
you to GO" And they did.
/ The caucus was very quiet affair.

man and John Wright, secretary. The
/ following committee was appointed to

stone Out for Curtis.
Robert Stone. candidate for repre-
sentative in the Thirty ninth district,
last night at the Republican caucus in
the Fifth ward declared himself ia
favor of Charles Curtis for congress.
! He announced in a speech that If elect
ed to the legislature he viii be Tor
( Curtis first, last and all the time.
In opposition to this position. ]. G..
| Holland, Stones opponent for the nom
! nation, declared that he would not
! pledge himself to any candidate, but
/ would go to the legislature, If elected
/ prepared to do what would be for the
! best interests Of Shawnee county He
/ declared his friendship to Curtis, but
J made no pledges.
The fight between Stone and Holland
4 will likely be waged on the senatorial
4 issue and the fact that Curtis is the
! avoWed railroad candidate may tend to
materially fnjure Stones chance for the
4 nomination. The people are at this
time not In a mood to take chances
with a candidate who is tied up by
numerous obligations to railroad cor
poratfons, as is Curtis.
There was big crowd at the Fifth
ward caucus, In spite of the bad wealth

enough. the "1aW and order" people
being in control of the situation. The
! law and order element claims nine out
Of the eleven delegates elected After
I the precincts had reported their selec-
! lions. and the delegates had been elect
