Chosen Delegates.

Majority Of Delegates Apparent
ly for the Congressman.
No Sign of Compromise Between
Ham and Young.

Osborne. Kan, March 26.-The town
is full of politics and politicians on ac-
count of the Republican convention of
the Sixth congressional district meet
ing held here today to elect two dele
gates and two alternates to the Chi
cago convention. This business at
tended to, and the adoption of resolu-
lions commencing the administration
OF President Roosevelt, favoring Taft
for president, commencing the action of
Congressman Reeder, favoring placing
lumber on the free list, and favoring a
law making it crime to buy and sell
options on the board of trade, the con-
vention's work will be completed. The
convention has 1876 delegates, and the
% counties will be represented.
The delegates are largely in favor
Of Congressman Reeder, but opposed to
endorsements. The anti-Reeder dele
gates. who are in a minority, hope to
head off any sentiment favoring en-
dorsement.
There is little Stubs sentiment
among the delegates, while the old
army comrades are enthusiastic for
Leland for governor
The primary election law has already
resulted in some good, the politicians
say, because there is a great scarcity
of postmasters present as delegates at
this convention. 1t has been claimed
that in former conventions postmasters
have been present in large numbers.
They have generally kept away from
this one, and the Reeder sentiment is
here among the delegates just the
same.
While Congressman Reeder is in
Washington, Osborne is being visited
by two other candidates, State Senator
l. D. Young of Beloit, and w. B. Ham
of Stockton. member of the legisla-
ture from Rocks county. These con-
gressional candidates represent the
square deal issues Of politics, and each
of them has some following Their
friends claim they are in the race
to finish, each believing he is strong
them can beat Reeder if the other will
pull Off But which one will pull out
of the race Is the burning question.
Chas. w. Lands of Osborne, and
Otis L. Benton of Oberlin, will be elect
ed delegates to the national convention
from the Sixth district. They are young
business Republicans and enthusiastic
for Taft.
e. A. Mcfarland of Lincoln county,
and r. 7. Fowler of Russell county,
candidates for state senator in the
Thirty fourth district, which COM
prises the counties of Osborne, Russell,
Lincoln and Ellsworth, are here in the
interest of their respective claims for
the senatorship. Mr.. Mcfarland is
also the secretary of the Sixth district
Republican congressional committee.
Capt. w. H. Mitchell of Beloit, chair
man of the congressional committee.
is here He is one of the Republicans
while he has recently got out from
severe sickness of several weeks, he is
vet a good general, and is receiving
his friends by scores.
