In the Sixth district the returns are
too meagre to make any reliable esti-
mates, but the district is claimed by
the Young supporters by a good ma
Jority. 1t looks as though the tide had
insurgent candidates against him.
Taken all in all, Kansas has given
emphatic answer to the question as to
gent. The standpat forces in the state
made great fight. They left nothing
undone that money and energy could
do. But the insurgent forces were too
strong Even in the cities and. centers
OF population the insurgents made big
gains, showing as strong a tide of pro-
gressive sentiment as in the country
districts.
The Stubs victory marks the high
water point of the Stubs opposition
in Kansas. Every effort of all his
enemies was bent upon his destruction,
and his increased majority sounds the
knell of all hopes to down the red
headed statesman from Lawrence. In
all but two counties in the state he has
tremendous following.
Pratt, Aug. 3.-This county has gone
for Stubs by a good majority. The
regulars made a harder fight here on
the governor than in any other coun-
ty in the state. Leland carried Pratt
two years ago and the county was
claimed by Wagstaff by 400 majority
Lawrence, Kan, Aug 3.-Stubbs
has carried his home county by 1900
majority, and Mitchell, who also lives
here, by majority of 1000.
Bowersock, former congressman
from the Second district, running on a
the legislature by H. E. Don Carlos,
square deal candidate.
The election furnished many sur
prises, Wyandotte and Sedgwick being
the greatest. The Stubs people con-
ceded the loss of Wyandotte and Sedg-
wick counties. the former by 500 at
least. But Stubs carried Wyandotte
by nearly thousand and Sedgwick by
500 or more.
The issues of the campaign were
sharp and clear. Wagstaff made his
fight on the standpat issue and had the
legulars of the Kansas delegation on
the platform with him at most Of his
meetings after the return of the con-
gresSmen. Stubs stood for the insur-
gent policies and helped the insurgent
nominees for congress all he could. The
result If the primary clears away all
doubts a S to where Kansas stands on
the tariff in national affairs and the
square deal in state affairs. The indi-
cations are that the next legislature
will be overwhelming square deal
