SLAP AT GEO. MARBLE
Democrat Nominee for q. S. Senator
Lost Own Precinct to Thompson.

Senator William H. Thompson's op-
position received an awful jolt in Fort
Scott, the home and hotbed of most
or the Thompson opposition during the
last two years. Returns of the Demo-
crat primary in Bourbon county reach
ed Topeka today.
Hubert Lardner, chairman of the
Democrat state committee, was beaten
for reelection as precinct committee
man in his home ward in Fort Scott.
He lost to F. r. Afford. Since Lard
ner's ascendancy to the state chair
manship he had stirred up several ex-
cellent brands of trouble for, the Dem
ocrat United States senator But
Lardner will neither head the state
committee nor serve as one of its
members in the coming campaign.
George w. Marble of Fort Scott,
who opposed Senator Thompson for
denomination. met almost as much
trouble rs did Chairman Lardner Mar
BILE lost his own precinct to Senator
Thompson. He also lost eight of the
nine city precinctssto the senator. The
gave him a lead of four votes over
Thompson.
The Marble-Lardner combination
has been the sharp thorn in Senator
Thompson's flesh for some months. 1t
was from this source that much of
Thompson's trouble in his own party
originated. So far as control of the
party machinery in this campaign is
concerned the old troubles seem safe
~ removed.
