the party.

Republican State Committee
Kills Presidential Idea.
Instead, Convention in Topeka
to Select Delegates.
VICTORY FOR STANDPATTERS
MuIvane Crowd Refused to
Yield to Primary Whip.
MOrgan's Suffrage Resolution,
However, Stood the Strain.

Members of the Republican -tate
committee today walked on the w Y.
Morgan plan for compulsory presiden-
tial primaries. Under an amended call
presented by D. W. Mulvane of To-
peka. the state convention to select
delegates at large to the Chicago ma
tional convention, will be held in To-
peka Tuesday, March 21 The basis
of representation will be one delegate
and one alternate for every 200 votes
cast for J. T. Botkin for secretary of
state in 1914-a convention of 962
delegates.
Fighting almost unaided and alone.
w. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson. Ii uten-
ant governor. put before the state
program for compulsory local pri-
maries Mcrgan's resolution called
for the holding of primaries in every
township and precinct in the state to
select delegates to the county conven-
tions. which in turn would name dele
gates to the state convention. Con-
servative leaders of the party from ev-
cry section of the state jumped on

option is given the local county COM
mittees concerning the method of Sc
lecting county delegates. If a primary
is desired in one county and a caucus
is sought in another county. both dis
tricts are cared for. But Morgan
sought to uphold the primary system.
He urged the delegates to remember
the pledges of the party and the fact
that the Republicans who had writ
ten the law must keep sacred the spirit
of the act. His plea fell on deaf ears.
Victory for Standpatters.
The Morgan -Mulvane fight was the
big contest before the state COMMITTEES
and the feature of Kansas Day activf-
ties 1t was a distinct victory for the
conservatives of the party and the
first time since the enactment OF the
wide primary law that the party
has refused to yield to the whip when
the primary policy was brought into
issue. Many county chairmen took a
positive stand against the primary
plan outlined in the Morgan reso-
luton, although they were quite will
ing that counties which favored the
policy might pursue their own course.
Al Williams of Columbus, "A candi-
date for a place on the big Four"
from Kansas, brought cheers from
supporters of the caucus and conven-
ton system in a speech which flayed
the Morgan plan. Williams stand was
characteristic of the attitude of the

tition for divorce, naming Arthur j.
Bolinger. a Topeka attorney, as the
man who alienated his wifes affec-
tiOns.
Kline doesn't file a counter petition.
He doesn't ask for a divorce. He sim

have Bolineer's actions investigated by
the court and asks that the supreme

of space on that feature of this reply.
In the third paragraph he brings in

representing Mrs. Kline in her divorce
action. He charges that Mrs. I<iine's

that she loves another man He
charges her with gross misconduct
with this man, and names Bolinger.
The petition states that Mrs. Kline

been a daily occurrence for the past
four days. and there is little prospect
of a cessation in the next few days
Wire trouble continues. though rail-
road and street car traffic is practical
ly normal A 20-mile wind promised
more trouble to telegraph and tele-
phone companies unless it abated be-
fore night.

weather tonight with continued cold:

so cold. The temperature dropped
last night after 10 O'Clock reaching a
