indications are that he will have close
to 10 out of 165 Republican members

w. r. Stnbbs of Lawrence. the
square deal candidate, has been nomi-
mated by the Republicans of Kansas
as their party candidate for governor.
He has a large majority. and his
nomination is conceded by the friends
of Cyrus Leland.

Stubs. says that returns received from
over so counties show that Leland has
carried only three or four out of that
number. Lelands hardest jolt was In
Wyandotte county, where the vote was
only 5000 out of a possible 10000 and
where Leland's majority was a few
hundred where he had expected over

Conccde Longs Defeat.
Shortly after noon today, the nomi-
nation of j. l.. Bristow as the Repub-
lican candidate for United States SEN
ator was conceded at Senator Long S
headquarters. Friends of Long who
telephoned in and wanted to know the
whole truth We're told that Long was
defeated. One of the men who has
been active in managing Longs cam
paign said:
I'VE are licked: can't find any way
to figure this thing to win. and since
we are caught in the drift, it is likely
to get worse rather than better OF
course there Is a chance that We might
pick up enough representatives to pull
through. but 1 wouldn't give a 25 cent
piece with a hole in it for our chances.
This defeat of Long is due to DEM
ocratic votes. 1t is a return of the
wave of Populism. Radicalism is tri-
umphant in Kansas. 1 fear for the
success of the national ticket in this
state. 1t is likely that Taft will be
dragged with the rest, and Bryan win
the state.
The various congressional fights al
so hurt Long. In spite of ourselves
we were tangled up In these fights. and
while we gave our support to the con-
gressional candidates, the postmasters
and others were so anxious for the sue
cess of their congressman that they
forgot to return the favor. See how
Miller carried almost every county in
. the Fourth district, and Long didn't
:, ',get a thing. l fear the same thing is
true in the Sixth district. Realizing
this condition, anticipate that the la
ter returns will hurt rather than help
us. We knew this condition was de-
veloping some days ago, but could do
little to stop it,
Albaugh Gives Up.
At 2:3O this afternoon. Morton AL
abugh. manager of Senator Longs
campaign dictated the following state
ment:
indications are from the counties
heard from that Mr.. Bristow will have
a majority of from 10 to Is of the
members OF the legislature instructed
for him. We have stopped receiving
returns. and will close the headquar-
ters."
The telegram which put the final
"crmp" in the Long hopes was one
from John Thomas, at Colby. which
announced that Cheyenne, RawIins,
Wallace and Logan counties had gone
Tor BrfStOw. ana tnat sheridan and
Thomas counties were close.
''That fixes us good and plenty" re-
marked Mr.. Albaugh as he read the
message. I'VE expected to get three
of those four districts
Earlier Figures.
At noon today the people at Sena-
tor Longs headquarters took stock Of
their condition, and the following
was the result:
Districts reported positively for
Long 80
Districts probably for Long. %
Senatorial districts counted for
Long. l 6
Total possible vote FOR Long n
This is five votes shy of enough to
nominate. and the Long people are
not only unable to find a place where
to get those five votes. but they are
likely to lose some of the 22 districts
y which are counted probably for Long.

tricts are to Bristow The districts
conceded are the following:
