FOR BROWNE.
Friends Ask Shawnee County
Divide It's Delegation Equally.
Declare Soldiers Strength Is
Greater Than Opponents.

| Friends of Mai Charles Browne of
| Horton, who is being urged as a dele
gate to the Republican national con-
yention at Chicago from the First dis
trict, ask that Shawnee county, having
no delegate and having a candidate
] for United States senator, divide its
| delegation equally among the various
district candidates, according to a
! Lean, superintendent of the Boys In
dustrial school and leader in. the
Browne campaign in this county fos-
tered by ex-service men. -
According to MacLean, Browne has
more support in the district outside of
! Shawnee county than either of the
two other candidates, Frank Pomeroy
| of Jackson county, and Frank Rob-
erts of Oskaloosa. He has more posi-
tive support in Shawnee county than
any other candidate, is MacLean's add
ed assertion.
why this county should al
low its political leaders to set its face
against fair and impartial treatment
to one of the district candidates, who
happens to be an ex-service ma n,
passes the comprehension of the ex-
service men of Shawnee county," in
dicates the feeling of the former SOL
diers in the matter.
Captain MacLean's statement fol-
lows
Major Browne has more support in the
district outside Of Shawnee county than
any other candidate. He has more positive
support in Shawnee county than any other
candidate. Why this county, the capital
of the state the beneficiary of cordial rela-
tions with other counties in the first dis
trict, the home of two senator's, one of
whom is a candidate for reelection this
large for whom it expects the support
of the whole district, should allow its
political leaders to sets its face against
fair and impartial treatment to one of the
district candidates, who happens to be an
ex-service man, passes the comprehension
of the ex-service men of Shawnee county. .
"The several hundred ex-service men of
Shawnee county who are strongly behind
Brown are not asking any extraordinary
Browne in his candidacy for delegate from
the First district to the Republican ma
tional convention. They are asking only
the consideration which should extend to
him under the conditions which exist.
Major Browne is one of three candidates
for the two delegates to be elected from
the First district. Shawnee county has
no candidate. Senator Curtis. who is
candidate for reelection, has. his home in
stances, with Shawnee county having no
candidate for district delegate and having
candidate for United States senator. it is
natural to expect that Shawnee county
would do the same as Leavenworth coun-
ty, the home of Congressman Anthony, has
always done and is expected to do this
year-divide it's delegation equally among
the variosu district candidates. That is all
the friends of Major Browne asking
of Senator Curtis who is q candidate for
re-election and his friends who are in con-
troll of the delegation.
"AtchisOn county has a candidate for
delegate in the person of former Governor
Bailey. Because of this fact Atchison
county is expected to divide its support
Of the. whole district for Governor Bailey
for delegate at large.
Shawnee county has a candidate for
delegate at large in the person of d. w.
Mulvane. The friends of Major Browne
are unable to understand why Mr.. Null
vane and Shawnee county expect Governor
Bailey to divide Atchison county as be-
tween district candidates and expect Con-
gresham Athony to divide Leavenworth
and at the~same time refuse to divide
Shawnee county on the same basis for the
same reason"
