Chapman Dittemore, wife and son, spent Sunday afternoon with scended" to run for central com-mitteeman and even for that obscure office he was badly defeated by a bright young man who has just entered the political arena.

Now it seems to be conclusive proof that his name is "Dennis." It is a well known fact here that Cy Leland was not the cause Stubbs' majority in county. The people refuse further to be dominated by a one-man policy. That day is past in Troy and Doniphan county and "Uncle Cy" is relegated to the murky past as a political leader; the "old guard" is vanishiug and rule or ruin will no longer be tolerated. The fact of the matter is, it was the Progressive Republicans, assisted by the Progressive Demo crats that was the cause of the Stubbs victory here, which was claimed by the Standpatters, led by the Hon Cy. Leland.

Further than this, we have the facts to prove that the Standpatters here made no effort whatever to elect Stubbs, their sole object being to again get control of the county commissioner so that the "old guard'' could control county affairs. In that they were partially successful, electing their man Delaney, but to far, Mr. Delaney is proving himself too much of a man to be led by the nose by a lot of ringsters and tricksters.

The Sage of Troy gets it all to gether with the glory that belongs to winning the biggest victory in what the politicians call "the fight of his life." In the primary campaign Mr. Leland declared for Stubbs, but in the primary election the county gave Wagstaff a small majority. In that fight also a 1 cal factional row defeated Leland himself for committeeman, a place he had held for years. There was joy in the headquarters of the "old crowd" at Topeka when that news was received from Doniphan. At last the sad but glorious dayN had arrived that manyof the politicians had been waiting for since away back in the grasshopper year.

The old man was dead, viewed from the standpoint of his enemies. "Where's Uncle a Topeka politician asked the night of the election, when the old guard met to hear the returns. "Oh, he went up to Doniphan to help Stubbs," someone answered. Then the crowd laughed. Doni phan had been fixed to go against Stubbs, and the idea of Uncle Cy, now dead, trying to "unfix" it was a good joke The returns wete coming.

Topeka, the home of Charley Curtis and Dave Mulvane, was rolling up a majority against Stubbs that would, ordinarily, have casta thick mucky gloom over the friends of a national committeeman and a Uni- ted States senator. But the Topeka crowd seemed rather jubilant over the news. Instead of a sob, there was an exclamation of joy when Doc Moore reported with deep regret that Crawford county had gone 500 against Stubbs. Leavenworth county actually cheered "the boys" with the other wise depressing news that Stubbs had lost Dan Anthony's county by 2500 hundred. There was a noise that sounded like anything else than anguish when it was known that Billy Morgan's countyofReno had contributed 200 majority to beat Stubbs.

a great victory it seemed to anyway Even Mort Al-baugh's county was slipping away trom otuoos, in spite of the efforts of the faithful regulars to hold it in And then With Curtis and Mulvane an 1 Doc Moore and Morgan and An thony and Billy Biddle and the rest of the old guard sending "regrets" for their counties, word came from Uncle Cy and Doni phan. "It wasn't a very good day for an was the word. "The farmers were all busy in their fields and the campaign has been rather quiet, so we didn't do quite as well as we intended to do. But just extend greetings to my enemies and mark down a majority of 1,075 for Stubbs in old Doni phan. And the smoke goes up the chimney jnst the same! From your Uncle Cyrus." "Back to life and livelier than ever," came a faltering voice from the crowd.

"We've lost and Oy's county gives Stubbs his biggest majority, Kansas uty limes. Itthe Kansas City Times wishes to retain its prestige in this com munity it had better be more careful as to the boosting it gives Cy Leland. The above article, or the gist of it, was undoubtedly furnished by some of Cy's henchmen here, but The Times should have thoroughly investigated before publishing. The fact of the matter is Cy is dead, politically, in this neck 'o the woods. As a candidate for Governor he wasbadly defeated List of Transfers up to and Include ing, November 23.
