Nearly Solid for Mulvane.

Supporters of d. W. Mulvane of To-
peka declared that the district dele
gates were almost solid in his support.
The Mulvane boosters were inclined 20
swing their support to Ira Wells of
Seneca and W. D. Casey of Atchison
as district delegates. TIE sixteen del
egates from the eight congressional
districts and the four delegates-at-
large will name the national commit
teeman.
There was little sentiment favoring
the plan to send negro to the ma
tional convention as delegate rom
this district. A number of Topeka ne
groes, re-enforced by negro delegations
from Atchison and Leavenworth coun-
ties, have appealed to the delegates to
send DR.. o. A. Taylor of Topeka 70 the
Chicago convention. DR.. Taylor, how
ever, did not seem seriously m the
running at any stage of the fight
Both Wells and Casey entered to~
days convention with the solid sup

Atchison delegates, while Wells came
from Seneca with the Nemaha county
delegation solidly behind him.

from Doniphan county, but with the
big Shawnee and Leavenworth coun-
ty delegations apparently showing a
preference for Wells and Casey, their
election seemed certain from the hour
the crowd arrived in Atchison.
