~. u. House. one OF the editors
of the Topeka Capital. says In his
Ietter to outside papers: Another
story which has leaked within the
past week concerns the deal by
which the county central committee
OF jackson county selected the dele
gates to the state and congressional
conventions. This It will be recalled.
was the political trick at which the
Roosevelt chiefs held up their hands
in holy horror when II was discovered
that Atchison county had gone
against them and that they could.
In no event, control the First dis
trict. But the facts are that the
plan TO have the jackson county
committee name the delegates was
framed up in Roosevelt headquarters
in Topeka. The Jackson county
committee carried farther than the
mere selection of delegates to the
state and county convention. The
frameup was that II the First dis
trict could, by hook or crook, be de-
livered to Roosevelt, Cy Leland and
Henry Aliens brother-in-law, whose
name for the moment eludes the
writer. were to be- the district dele
gates to the Chicago convention, Mr..
Aliens brother-in-law lives in Jack
SON county and heads the snap dele
cation to the congressional conven-
tion. But after AtchisOn county went
hell bent for Taft thus assuring the
Taft forces control of the district
the Roosevelt forces discovered that
the Jackson county committee had
been guilty of an Infamous imposi-
tion on the rights of the people. THIS
view of the matter by the way, be-
ing hastened somewhat by the dis-
covery that the plan to have a.
county central committee name the
delegates was a twO-edged tool likely
to cut both ways.

NIP AND TUCK IN KANSAS.

AS a result of Saturdays pri-
maries in Bourbon and Brown coun-
ties, Colonel Roosevelt is slightly
in heTlead of President Taft in the
number of delegates elected up to
date to the Kansas state Republican
convention. Roosevelt now has 130
and Taft lis.
Preference has been declared in
the following counties: For Taft,
Atchison IA, Cowley Is, Crawford
.22, Dickinson 13, Leavenworth 20,
Shawnee 81, total 115; for Roose-
welt, Bourbon IA, Franklin -, Gray
g, jefferson 10, Johnson 10, Ne
maha IL, Wyandotte SO, total 130.
Both candidates have twice been
in the lead during the past three
weeks. Taft started out ahead and
kept the lead for about a week.
Roosevelt forged ahead when Wyan-
dotte, johnson, Franklin and Doug
lass E0unties instructed delegates
for him. Last week the lead again
went to Taft. Crawford's twenty-five
delegates going for him. On Satur-
day Brown and Bourbon, both in
structing for Roosevelt put the Col
onel at the head again. s'
Dickinson and Cowley will have
contesting delegations.
II the struggle keeps up as II has
started, 1t will take the final count
to determine the outcome. Both sides
have also won the same number OF
national delegates. Taft getting the
two from the First district, and
Roosevelt the two from the Second
district.

THE PENNSYLVANIA PRIMARY.

The sweeping victory gained by
Roosevelt in Pennsylvania undoubt-
edly gives his followers a great en-
couragement but it does not mean
that he will be nominated The
claims" of the Taft and Roosevelt
managers are wide apart but the
fact remains that Taft has a long
lead. He was nominated in 1908
without the votes of Illinois, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, New York or Wis
consin. In spite of all the talk and
newspaper booming, the only men
who nominate president are those
who have seats as delegates. In
1908 these states took the following
action in their respective conven-
tions in the matter of instructing
delegates:
Maine, uninstructed.
New Hampshire, uninstructed.
Vermont, uninstructed.
Massachusetts,, uninstructed.
Connecticut, uninstructed, and SEN
ators Brandegee and Blakely refus-
ed to serve as delegates because of
that fact.
Rhode Island. uninstructed.
New York, uninstructed.
This week Nebraska, Oregon, Con-
necticut and Delaware select their
delegates.

No particular reason eAists iVi
anybody to get nervous or excited
over the political game being played
in Dickinson county over the selec'
tIon OF delegates TO the conventions
1t is purely a friendly scrap 20 see
who wins--T. r. or Taft. AS Il
now stands nobody will ever know
exactly how the county stands. Tafl
delegates were selected by the cen
trail committee by a majority OF 22
TO 3. A mass convention instead
OF a primary was called by the
Roosevelt boomers which allows
Democrats, Socialists and Republi-
cans to act and only comparatively
few OF the voters can have any ex-
preston. Just why they shut out
the primary is not clear-perhaps
they were afraid the county would
go for Taft.
No one should misunderstood the
reason for the uprising. The county
has selected delegates by committee
several times before and the state
call provides that the committee
can do SO. The Roosevelt men did
it in Jackson county where they
were in the majority, the Taft men
did It in Cowley and Dickinson, But
Dickinson county has an appointee
of Governor Stubbs-D. r. Gorden,
one of the inspectors. 1t Is the only
Job Stubbs ever gave this county.
One of the conditions of holding Of
flee under Stubbs is that you must
make good and when the inspec-
tor after spending a week here re-
turned with the news that the coun-
ty had delegations opposed to Stubbs
1t was. orders that something should
be done. Hence Gorden came back
and after a strenuous day OF tele-
phoning found he could not manage
the central committee. SO the Voice
of the People" is to be reached
through the mass convention. Back
of this is an earnest desire of Mr..
Gorden to hold his job and also
there are several incipient postmas-
ter jobs lurking in the shadows. Cor
den may think he is to get the job
OF postmaster some day but the
young insurgent crowd has served
notice that they will take it them
selves--if they can.
Only 8 of the 20 members of the
committee are in favor OF a rump
meeting. These eight will elect
delegates to both conventions. IL
the Roosevelt men are in a majority
at the conventions they will be seat
ed. If the Taft men are in the ma
jority the first delegates will be
seated. That is all there is to It.
The Jackson county delegates have
been seated, the congressional com
mittee holding that they are legally
elected, though the committee Is a
Taft organization and the delegates
are for Roosevelt. But it is cinch
that If the Roosevelt men control
the state convention the Taft dele
gates from Dickinson will not be
seated. The politicians know all
about this and no one else need be
deceived. All the "voice of the Peo-
pie" rot that the insurgents are let
ting off may be taken as SO much
hot air. 1t is simply an effort OF
the outs to get in and gamble on
the carrying of the state for Roose-
velt and the election Of T. r. next
fall. 1t may be good gamble or
1t may not. That remains to be
seen. In the meanwhile put in your
garden seeds and the politicians
will fight II out.
