W'tteo DeIeaCeO at primary.
The anti-Mulvane faction made
large inroads on the strength of the
Muivane faction in the control of the
republican County Central committee,
running up their proportion of the
voting strength of the committee from
bare one-third to close to one-half
Though the line up man for man
is not definitely known because sew
eral men were seated in the commit
tee whose predictions neither side
are positive of the balance still favors
Mulvane control of the county COM
mfttee by bare majority
The defeat of two of the committee
men, Carver and Larimer. most ram
pant against Mulvane, caused great
glee among the followers of the ma
tional committeeman and incidentally
contributed materially towards the
failure of the anti-Mulvane crowd to
secure the sway of things in Shawnee
Republicanism.

the size of the committee about Is

publican vote cast for secretary of

| recount of the vote may be de-
manded by Robert Stone and his
crowd in several precincts where the
Mulvane ticket just barely nosed the

| the Second where two votes make the
| varying line as thin as paper. and the
second of the Third ward where Lari-
mer lost to Bowen by six votes
Concerning this feature Stone stated

we had exerted ourselves. For in
stance Larimer was beaten by Bowen
| Larimer would not have lost had he
paid attention to his own campaign
| and several other instances occurred
in the same way. We have made big
increases but should have won.'
| The logical candidates for chairman
who would have been put forward by
| the Square Dealers were T. F. Carver
| and H. G. Larimer. but having these
no longer in the committee they are
at a loss as to whom to select for
| champion.
| John T. CLANCY and Reese Van SAINT
! are mentioned to head the committee
! by the Mulvane crowd with the
| chances favoring the selection of the
former. Mr.. CLANCY has acted as
| chairman in the past and Reese Van
SAINT just completed a term as head
| with an experience of rather stormy
| nature.
