DESERVED DEFEAT.

That the progressive republicans
OF the Second Kansas district got
Just what they deserved In the re-
cent election cannot be denied If re-
ports from that section are to be re-
lied upon. According to news re-
ports the congressional committee,
upon the death of the incumbent,
met and nomipated Judge Guyer,
one OF the leading progressive re-
pubhcans of the district and man
we'll qualified by ability and envir-
onment to fill a seat in the lower
house of congress. But In Kansas
they have a primary law for the
nomination OF candidates for con-
gress and the people did not take
kindly to the SNAP judgment" pro-
ceedings OF the congressional COM
mittee. So widespread was the dis
content that Judge Gnyer finally
withdrew as the committees nomi-
nee and the committee called pri-
mary, but the committee, Hike set
Of ndncompoops. put the entry fee
at $4,000. That Is, they decreed
that any man who wanted to be a
candidate must pay the committee
$4,000 to insure the printing Of HE
name upon the ballots throughout
the district. Judge Guyer paid the
$4,000, but he was the only one who
would do 1t and hence was the only
candidate. This $4,000 ante raised
another storm Of indignation. It was
claimed that the committee had put
the fee purposely high in order to
keep other aspirants than Judge
Guyer out OF the contest. Under the
circumstances 1t Is little wonder
that district having a normal re-
publican majority Of 5000 should
go democratic by more than 1000.
In fact 1t is q wonder Judge Guyer
was not defeated by a larger ma
jority. No loyal republican is bound
to support nominee who does not
receive the nomination fairly and
honestly. At that point the line
should be drawn. It is indeed mar
velous that any progressive republic
cans should support Guyer under
the circumstances and 1t Is to the
credit OF the standpatters that they
