between Tom Potter and B. F. Nc
Kercher, both of Marion. The district
consists of Chase, Morris and Marion,
now represented by J. NJ. Hamme, ma
chinist- The chances are good for a
square deal candidate in this district
Lyon and Greenwood, the oath district
will send up either c. A. Stannard or
Geo. Plumb to succeed George e
Tucker; probably Geo. Plumb. 1t will
continue to be a square deal district,
though w. S. Kretsinger thinks he is
running as the machine candidate.
Butler county, the 25th district, is
now represents it. J. B. Adams will ask
for the nomination, and If his health
permits, s. H. Brandon will be the
square deal candidate.
Elk and Chautauqua, constituting the
26th district, now represented by w. S.
Fitzpatrick, will probably go machine.
Fitzpatrick is out of it and the candi-
dates mentioned are W. A. Elston, John
T. Denton and George H. Turner, all of
Elk county.
Cowley county, the 9th district, has
been represented by Ed Wilkerson He
is out. and w. L. Cunningham, now
representative, will try to break into
the senate. The square dealers think
| they can control this county. Cunning
| ham is sort of a semi-square dealer.
r. T. Simons will probably get back
as senator from Sumner, the 28th dis
trict. He is a solid Stubs square
| dealer.
]. H. Stewart will probably be return
ed from Sedgwick, the 18th district.
| This is square deal.
Harvey and Mcpherson counties, the
! 30th district, may discard J. F. Hughes,
| their senator. and send up a square
| dealer, but he hasn't been named yet.
| Saline and Ottawa counties, the 31st,
| will return Frederick H. Quincy, square
dealer, if he will run. If he won't, 1t
is likely that John I. White Of Ada,
i will get the nomination. Anyway, 1t
will be a square deal district.
Cloud and Republic, constituting the
! 32nd. will continue to be a machine dis
trict with w. w. Caldwell for the SEN
