to be governor for one term at

ed to be governor for one term at
least.
During the primary campaign D.
%. McCray of Topeka was the press
agent for Leland's candidacy. He
has an intimate knowledge of the
workings of the Leland forces. He
is also correspondent for the St.
Louis Republic and frequently writes
Kansas political gossip for that pa
per. A contribution he had a few
days ago in the Republic lends fur
ther color to the Botkin story. 1t is
along the same lines, but does Lot go
into details. This story reads as
follows:
Courts and his friends realize
that Stubbs' election as governor
will enable him 10 build up a state
machine that will be all powerful.
They cite the Cummins machine in
Iowa as an example. It would turn
the republican party of Kansas over
to La Folletteism, condition more
to be feared by the old machine
than a democratic administration
for two years.
" 'The republican party in Kan
sas will not be purged and united
until it is defeated, said a republi-
can today to the correspondent for
the Republic. There is no use of
mincing matters. The best thing
that could happen to the republican
party in this state this year would
be defeat all along the line. We
will never get the two factions to-
gether until this happens. Defeat
this year will mean the preservation
of the real republican party, and it
will be the salvation of Senator Cur
tis.'
''This is the feeling expressed by
many of the friends and supporters
of Long, Curtis and Leland. They
argue that in the past when Kansas.
was carried by the opposition to the
republican party it was for only two
years at a time, and that gave the
party ample opportunity to reorgan-
ize and sift out the demagogues who
had wrecked it. A democratic state
admiRistrati on would dispose of w.
r. Stubbs as a factor and trouble
breeder, and it would stay for a
time, at least, the threatened reign
Of La Folletteism, consummatlons
devoutly' prayed for by the old ma
chine crowd.
"The defeat of Bristow for United
States senator, they argue, would
relieve the upper branch of Congress
of another follower of La Toilette,
and this is especially desirable by
the leaders in the nation. A demo-
crat is preferable, they say, to La
Toilette man."

years.
Elected with the support of Cy--
rus Leland and his friends.
An equal division of the patronage

Cyrus Lelandfor G Governorin in 1910.
Nominated and elected with the
support of ]. D. Botxin and his
grateful friends.
This is the "slate" which ]. d.
Botkin, democratic candidate for
governor, says has been agreed upon
by himself and Cyrus Leland, the
defeated candidate for the republi-
can nomination for governor. Mr..
Botkin, who is Methodist minister,
told this story to w. d. Rippey, a
prominent and wealthy Methodist of
Severance, Doniphan county, a few
days ago. Mr.. Rippey lives in Cy
rus Leland's county and has lived
there for 6fty-two years. He has
. contributed large amounts to the
Methodist churches and the Meth
odist college at Baldwin and has
been an active church worker for
years.
Botkin and Rippey were formerly
well acquainted and both happened
in Topeka. Rippey has been some
what independent in politics and
since both were strong men in the
Methodist church Botkin took it for
granted that RPpey was for him for
governor. They happened to m e.
in Topeka and Botkin invited Rip
pey to call and have talk with him.
1t was during this conversation that
Botkin told hin of the proposed al
lance with the Leland forces.
Botkin stated that he and Leland
were not forming the alliance per-
sonally for the reason that they
wanted to have it done by represent
atives, but that the alliance was an
accomplished fact. He told Rippey
that the plan was to "kill off Stubbs"
and elect him { (Botkin) governor for
two years; that he would be satisfied
with two years in the Office and after
that Leland and his machine would
be in control again. He told Rip
pey that the Leland fellows had
something they would spring on
Stubbs that would help elect Botkin,
that he (Botkin) was not doing the
work himself, but that it was with
his consent and knowledge that the
agreement was fixed up.
Mr.. Botkin stated that The agree
ment had been entered into about
ten days prior to the conversation
with Rippey. Previous to that time
Rippey had talked with Botkin and
he had no hopes of election at that
time, but when Rippey saw him the
second time Botkin had strong hopes
of winning after having entered into
the agreement. Botkin stated that
he did not believe he could be elect
ed governor unless he made the deal
With Leland and that he had made
the deal for the reason that he want

W. VA. SENATORS ANGRY.

A special dispatch to yesterdays
Baltimore American from Washing
ton contained the following interest
ing item:
"The two senators from West Vir-
ginia, Messrs. Elkins and Scott, are
indignant over the action of 10 Of the
Is members of the State committee
who, after their regular meeting at
Parkersburg last Friday night. met
informally and declared themselves
for Secretary Taft for President. Meth.
er of the West Virginia senators ia.
vors President Roosevelts candidate.
Mr.. Scott is believed to prefer Secre-
tary Cortelyou. but the campaign is
not yet sufficiently advanced for Mr..
Elkins to have made his final choice.
Eight Of the 10 members of the COM
mittee are federal offlceholders all of
whom secured their places through
the recommendations of the two sena-
tors, and the latter feel, therefore. that
they were entitled to be considered
before the members of the committee
took action. The senators do not hes
itate to charge that administration
pressure was brought to bear on the
officeholders. 1t was charged, fur
thermore, that First Assistant Post
master General Hitchcock has writ.
ten to one of the members of the com.
mittee urging him to vote for Mr.. Taft,
but Mr.. Hitchcock alphabetically do
MED this charge"
We do not know how much truth
there is in the above story. but II the
Senators are correctly reported in
this matter they will find themselves
about as far away from what the peo-
pie desire in this State as Foraker
and Dick are in Ohio, II they persist
in their fight against Taft. The peo-
pie get tired of certain things rather
emphatically some times and when
they speak their voice must be heard.

FORMERLY OF THIS CITY DIED IN
NEW YORK CITY OF TY-
PHoIp FEVER.

News has reached here OF the death
OF Fred Dawson, which occurred about
two weeks ago at his home in New
York after an illness Of typhoid fever.
Mr.. Dawson was born in this city and
resided here during his boyhood. He
was a son of the late Charles NJ. Dav.
ison. who was for many years manager
of the West Fairmont Coal and Coke
Co. The family resided in the old
brick house near the brick yards and
were prominent in the social circles
of the town. Deceased was about for.
ty years of age and is survived by a

"A. BRYAN,s LATEST BREAK

That the large facial opening OF
William Jennings Bryan first made
him presidential possibility and twice
after that contributed to his defeat is
well known by all who have traced
the history Of the man. Only few
months ago he again turned many
away from him who. really wanted to
be his friends by his speech at Madi-
son Square Garden, when he declared
for government ownership of railroads.
Just the other day he once more es-
tranged a certain following without
which he stands less show than he
had of ever becoming President when
he went out of his way to say some
sighting things about Judge Parker.
the Democratic nominee in 1904, say
ings that he took his medicine in Par
ker, but that Parker was the man
above all others that he did not want.
The Judge made note of what Mr..
Bryan said, in the following very sig
nifcant language:
what pity" said Judge Parker,
shat Mr.. Bryan failed to be equally
frank in 1903. Had he done so the sit
uation. of the party. would be vastly
better than It is. There were but few
Democrats in that year who thought It
wise to have a third term candidate.
But every man OF sense knew that un-
less man could be found who would
receive Mr.. Bryan's support, his warm,
personal following would seek revenge
for the defeats of 1896 and 1900.
$50 statesmen, politicians and inter
ested citizens sought diligently to find
someone that he would support. To
some at least he said he would bolt
ex-President Cleveland, Governor Hill,
Senator German and Judge Gray, but
that It would be hard to oppose Par
: ker. as Parker had supported him.
"This attitude Induced the impress
sion among many that my nomination
would be as acceptable to Mr.. Bryan
as any, except his own. That impress
sion led to pressure upon me from
many quarters to change my plans for
4 life. And it contributed in no small
measure % the movement which led
to the control Of the convention.
subsequent events showed that Mr..
Bryan had not been entirely open with
those who had consulted him. For
when, to hlsIswprise. delegates began
to be elected favorable to my, nominal
ton strong to be breasted, he started
out on his famous tour Of denuncia;

then sowed yielded an abundant harr
