Gil this month and with a posi-

That the old crowd hold posi-

the nominations, but in the man.
ner in which the primaries result

the Capper candidacy in Shawnee
county. Capper is a home pride,
a favorite son, the first Tnn"kaD
with chance to become COVER
nor of the state. The home pride
argument was given prominent
position in the Capper publica-
tionS. The old crowd read, no
doubt, but did not heed.
Returns from the primaries in

of the primary.
The total Republican vote il
Shawnee county on United State
senator was 11,526. In the coun
ty $3.50 votes were cast for Cap
per, or 1866 less than the part,
vote on senator in his home coun
ty.
And so, that is the result of tn
primaries. The old crowd is bacl
in the saddle in, the Republican
party in Kansas. They contrC
