FOR FIRST Time
Democrats Control All the
Branches Government.
Have House, Senate and Gov
ernOr.

For the first time in the history of
the state the Democrats will this win
ter be in full control of the state ma
chinery. Never before have the DEM
ocrats gained q working majority in
both houses of the legislature and at
the same time elected a governor. The
only time in which the Republicans
were previously removed from control
was in the session of 1885 when John
W. Leedy was elected governor and
the Populists were in control of both
branches of the legislature during the
1887 session.
On several occasions the Democrats
have controlled the house But never
were they able to control both the
house and senate at the same time.
And it was even beyond their fondest
dreams to think that they might be
in the majority in both branches of
the legislature and at the same time
have a Democratic governor. Now that
the unexpected thing has really hap
pened, the Democrats will for the first
time in the history of Kansas have
an opportunity to write just the kind
Of Democratic law of which they have
dreamed and persistentIy preached.
Away back in the Populist times the
Republicans went out of business in
the state house for a few years. In
1896 Bryan swept the state in his first
presidential campaign That year the
PopuIists elected 76 of the 125 mem
bers of the house and q of the 40
members OF the senate and John W.
Leedy was elected governor over z.
N Morriu by less than 5000. The 1866
election gave the PopuIists power to
pass a concurrent resolution through
the senate. while in the house the Pop
uIist strength was within seven votes
of sufficient strength to claim a two
third vote.
Even in the coming session. though,
the Democratic slreasth will not equal
that of the Populists, in their paIuy
days in the sos The best the Demo-
Gratis can claim in the coming session
is "A members of the house and q
members of the senate With a Demo-
cratic governor. however, the vote is
sufficiently strong TO adopt any party
measure Hodges in the governors
chair eliminates the necessity of a
two-thirds control Of the legislature
however, as there will be no impead-
ing danger from the veto on strictly
party measures.

JAW AND HEAD.
Presented as Evidence of Battle by
Two Mexicans.

Convincing evidences of a conflict
were presented to the county attor-

Of one badly swollen jaw and another
bruised head, the jaw and head being
accompanied by their owners, two
Mexican laborers- The Mexicans com
planned that a couple of negroes as
saulted them yesterday afternoon and
incidentally they assert they were re-
heved of $50 in real money by their
aSSailants.
A warrant for the arrest of Arnie
Mitchell and John Moore was issued
and served on the pair in the city
Jail, where they were taken after the
anray yesterday afternoon Both
men have served time in the state
prison, it is asserted, Mitchell having
been sent up from here several years
ago, and Moore going up from Esk-
ridge.
