CLOSING CAMPAIGN.

The chairmen of the committees of
the two factions make their estimates
on the primary today j. N. Dolley
for the Stubbs forces predicts a ma
jorfty of from $1,000 to $4,000 for his
candidate, depending entirely upon the
volume OF the primary vote. A. C.
Stich for the Wagstaff forces claims
the primary by $4,000 majority.
Neither side goes into the details of the
vote by counties or districts
Chairman Dolley has not vet pre-
pared his official statement, but it is
understood that he claims the entire
and gives Wagstaf but fifteen counties
in the state at the outside. Dolley is
feeling confident of the result as he is
assured that the farmers are going to
turn out and vote next Tuesday He
said that the only hope the opposition
has is that the farmers stay at home.
This is slim hope, thinks Dolley.
Dolley's estimates in many past cleo
tions have been borne out to a remark
able extent by the returns and he
and conservative estimate this time in
order that his reputation as a prophet
may not suffer. The last two weeks of
the campaign, according to Doliey. have
| been favorable for Stubbs.
The Stubbs finish will be a whirlwind
| affair. In company with Mr.. DoIley
| and other friends, the governor will
spend Monday. the day before election.
| in Wabaunsee county, Dolley's home.
| The party will leave Topeka on the
Rock Island at 9:35 in the morning and
will speak first at Paxico at 1890.
From there they will continue the trip
| by auto to Mcfarland, where Stubbs
will speak at 1880. They will eat din
ner at Alma and the governor will
| speak there at / o'clock. He will speak
! at Eskridge at O'Clock, at Harveyville
at q, and close the day with big coun-
/ ty rally at Usage City in Usage county
at night
wagstaff will close the campaign in
his home county of Montgomery
speaking with Senator Lamb at Cof-
feyville Monday night.
A Wagstaf Address.
/ The Wagstaff forces have issued the
following address:
ITO the Republicans of Kansas:
"Tom Wagstaff will be nominated a:
the Republican candidate for governor
next Tuesday by approximately 15,00t
majority From every community il
this state we have most hattering re-
ports, showing that Wagstaff is max
ling wonderful gains. This is particu-
larly true of the past four weeks
| Three weeks ago our reports showed
that we had wiped out Stubbs' major
ity of two years ago Since then the
gains for Wagstaff from every county
in the state have been so pronounced
that now we feel assured that he viii
have a majority around $4,000. W.
| have the best of reasons for believing
| that we have made gains in ever,
county of the state, and in some o.
these it has been a veritable land
slide. We base the foregoing statemen
upon the most reliable and trust
Iworthy information it has been possi
BILE to obtain.
This has been a hard fought battle
Undoubtedly this has been the mos
important political contest waged il
behalf OF true Republicanism evel
known to Kansas. We have felt that
the integrity OF the Republican party
was in peril, and in more than 10(
