Topeka. Kans.. Aug. candidates FOR
State offices. eight candidates Of each
party for Congress. and l25 candidates OF
each party for members OF tho state
house Of representatives, were ballol1d Tor
in to-days primaries.
The most bitter factlonaI fight known
in the Republican party OF the state cul-
minated in a struggle between the stand
pat and insurgent factions. The polls
closed at p. m. 20 the principal
towns and the ballot is long and badly
scratched, so the count will be slow.
Scattering returns from the country
show that Gov. stubbs is leading his op-
ponent, Wagstaff, the standpat candidate.
Gov. stubBs Ahead.
Gov. Stubs. insurgent. is claimed the
winner by his friends by 1900
The governor says his majority win ex-
ceed that This result viii carry with #
the election Of a majority Of the county
Republican chairmen Of the lO5 counties
from the insurgent faction, who, with the
State Congressional. State senatorial and
legislative nominees make up the party
council. to adopt platform and elect a
State central committee.
It looks as IL the insurgents will con-
troll the Republican party council on Au-
gust s, which body will refuse TO in
dorse the administration of President
Taft the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, and
the other acts OF the present Republican
Congress.
Senator Bristow Will control In this
event United States Senator Curtis. who
will lead the fight Of the standpat mi
nority. viii with his forces vote against
the Bristow insurgent resolutions, but
they will not bolt the party council.
Anthony, regular for Congress. should
win by 1000 in the First district.
The Second district will be very close
but Scott. regular, books like a winner
over Mitchell, insurgent.

trict indicate the nomination of Repre-
sentative P. P. Campbell over his tnsur-
gent opponent, Arthur Cranston, by $500

feated Representative J. NJ. Miller. stand

torney general Of the State.

sional committee phones from Selma |

The Seventh and Eighth districts are
by Representatives Madison
and Murdock, insurgents. and they have |

by three Representatives in Kansas
