congressional district at the special
November election as a result of the
bungling work of the congressional
committee. This correspondent sizes
up the situation as follows.
The Republicans of the Second dis
trict have bungled things badly in Sc
lectlng nominee to succeed Mitchell,
and it is considered extremely doubt
full in Topeka if u. S. Guyer former
mayor of Kansas City, Kan, can win.
The insurgents built up their organiza-
ton in Kansas with the primary law
as a foundation. When they built it
they were in the minority, but the peo-
pie were so we'll pleased with the pri-
mary that they installed the insurgents
in power, and Mitchelfs Second dis
trict committee was insurgent.
''It developed the members were
afraid of the people. They had three
or four of their own men who wanted
to run for the vacancy to succeed
Mitchell and the regular Republicans
talked of former Representative Chas
F. Scott of lola. The Mitchell com
mittee would not take the medicine in
the form of a primary which it had
fixed up for the regulars and an
nounced it would name the nominee,
without giving the people of the dis
trict any voice in the matter. BY do
ing this it weakened the progressive
cause throughout the state It show
ed the progressives would cast aside a
principle for which they had fought
in order to get one of their number
into congress.
Such protest went up, not only
in the district, but all over the state,
against this procedure that the com
mittee backed I'D about half way. It
proceeded to nominate u. S. Guyer and
then after his nomination decided TO
submit the question to a primary. 1t
fixed tie entrance fee at So 600 in or
der to bar others, and no other candi-
date entered. A few days before the
primary was to be held it was discov-
cred that Guyer had not complied with
the new national law by fling a state
ment of his expenses at the primaries,
W lich must be done ten days before
the primary.
THE $4,000 entrance fee was three
ffths Of al that Guyer could SPEND
at both primary and election under the
new law, and this being the first case
to come up since the law passed, his
friends feared the Democrats would
make an example of Guyer and fine
him under the law, so they postponed
the primary ten days and the com
mittee scaled down the cost tc 1000.
The primary was held, but it was q
farce. In some of the big counties less
than 100 votes we're cast Republicans
generally were disguised and felt that
if he were nominated.
THE Democrats of the district have
nominated Joseph r. Taggart, county
attorney for Wyandotte county, and
Republican leaders generally have de-
cided to permit Guyer to fight his own
battle. In the last IA years the dis
trict has sent two Democrats to CON
gress and the only regret the Repub-
liCans will have at Guyer'S expected
defeat will be the effect it may have
on the next presidential election

FEW GUNNERS ON THE LINE
Turkey Proves Strong Attraction
for Travers Island Nimrods.

Roast turkey was too big an attraction
for the majority OF the gunners Of the
New York Athletic Club. and instead Of
having more than twenty nimrods on the
firing line there were only dozen shooters
at Travers Island yesterday. Although the
number was small the gunners had one of
the best days Of the year. The weather
conditions were perfect and high scores
were made in all of the shoots of an un-
usually lengthy programme.
The best work OF the day was done by
c. W. Billings. who recently was chosen
chairman of the trap shooting committee
of the Olympic games. His highest run
was scored in a special holiday cup at fifty
targets Mr.. Billings took the event with
a full score. He followed up by winning
the distance handicap. at twenty-five tar
gets, only, however. after a shoot-off In
which b. NJ. Iigginson also competed In
the original shoot both gunners broke
twenty targets from the 21-yard line. Mr.
Billings duplicated the performance in the
shoot-off and took the event by two tar
gets
MIR. Higginson had the satisfaction Of
making the only perfect score Of the day.
In the shoot for the committee cup the
nimrod broke twenty-five straight targets,
and so scored on the costly prize G. J.
Corbett took the December cup. and J. VI.
Jones was high gun in the race for the
presidents prize The Christmas cup went
to +. A. Schauffier, and Or. De Wolfe won
the shoot at ten pairs Of doubles

didn't Sheckard go full series against

they did. But they escaped being raped
because their teams won. Murray was
hopped on, and the fans are still talking
about his failure. because the Giants were
defeated If they had copped. Jacks fail

In regard to the Cubans Mike says they
