DEMOCRATS ARE HERE. .
State Convention VIII Probably Be
Held in Topeka.

The Democratic state central COM
mittee met late this afternoon for the
purpose of deciding upon the time
and place where the next state con-
vention will be held. There is not a
unanimity of opinion as to whether
the election of committeeman will be
held at this time or at a separate con-
vention. There are three candidates
for the state convention, Topeka,
Wichita and Hutchinson all Of which
have delegations at the meeting work
ing for their towns.
The indications are that there will
be two conventions the first held dur
ing the earlier part of March for the
purpose of settling the question of a
national committeeman and electing
delegates to the national convention.
It is possible that this convention will
be held at the same time and place
| that the state convention is held.
1t is thought that the state conven-
ton will be given to Topeka and that
the delegate convention will be held
at either Hutchinson or Wichita. 1t
is conceded that if two conventions
are held that the delegate convention
will be called early and that the other
! shortly after the national convention
which meets in Denver on July 4th.
A fight has developed on National
Committeeman OHM H. Atwood and
it is possible that J. G. Peabody, who
filed this position during the cam
paigns of 1896 and 1900, Will be Sc
lected as national committeeman.
The friends Of each of the candidates
are sure of victory and there is a
chance that the honor will go to a
dark horse and there are a number
of prominent Democrats mentioned
for the place in case neither johnson
or Atwood can land it,
The friends of William Sapp insist
that he should be given the honor and
Ed Hackney of Wellington has devel-
oped considerable strength as can
dfdate for the place. The subject Of
a national committeeman is the all
absorbing topic of conversation
among the delegates today and it Is
| drawn before the convention meets,
whether in March or in July.
Il think that you are safe in say
ing that the state convention will be
| held In Topeka" said W. H. L. Pep
perell, secretary of the state central
| committee, land that the other conven-
ton if one is held will go to either
Wichita or Hutchinson. 1 think that
1t is the sentiment of the majority
of the members of the committee that
Topeka should be given the conven-
ton on account Of the facilities of the
city for handling it."
A strong fight is being made by the
delegations from Hutchinson and
Wichita an dthey may win out, a
great deal depending on the commit
tee from Topeka which will present
the claims of this city for the meet
ing 1t is said that w. H. Ryan, the
president chairman of the state con-
vention will ask for reelection though
the place will not be conceded to him
without a fight and numerous candi-
dates have been mentioned as his sue
cessor

BUCHER IS NAMED.
Democrat Appointed County Attorney
OF Montgomery.

Independence, Kan, Jan. 16.-Charles
Butcher, one of the most able Demo-
cratic attorneys in the county, was
named Wednesday evening by District
Judge Flannelly as county attorney
to succeed ]. M. Charlton, who re-
signed a few days ago. Charlton was
a Democrat, and Judge Flannelly held
that it was proper that his successor
should be a Democrat.
Butcher is an able and energetic law
yer. and for a number of years had
been the attorney for the defense in
most of the saloon prosecutions in the
county. He acted as attorney for most
of the saloon men. 1t is stated, how
ever, by those who know Mr.. Butcher,
that his acceptance of the appoint
ment under Judge F1annelly means
that he will devote his energies hence
forth to the prosecution of the people
he has heretofore defended.
