697; johnson. $50: Douglas. 279; with
a net majority over Guyer of 281.
It is probable that some of the rec
objections OF the campaign OF two years
ago entered into the fight. Guyer sup
ported Roosevelt consistently. but re-
manned a Republican. Order was for
Roosevelt in the early stages OF the
Roosevelt-Taft fight. but when the
Chicago convention gave the nomina-
! ton to Taft, he stayed with the Tart
crowd. He was chairman OF the state
wide harmony meeting in Topeka In
June, 1913.
Congressman Joseph Taggart. Demo

Gated Carroll held a slight lead over
