The Fight in Kansas
Wichita June 15.—The peoples
party in Kansas will today nominate
a full state ticket a congressman at

recent conference held in the Mid-
land Hotel Kansas CityMo. between
the Alliance aud the Democratic
leaders of this state akin to a po
litic»l combination was effected.
Just how the two parties will divide
the nomination remains to be seen.
There is no question but that they
will make a desperate fight to secure
the election of their candidate. At
the last election Ex-Governor Robin-
son who ran at the head of the Demo-
cratic ticket polled an exeedingly
heavy vote and the Alliance people
here believe that he can again make
a successful run. On the other band
the Republicans are thoroughly
awake to the situation are united
and announce that they will put up
their best man. They have already
placed in nomination George T. Au
thony for congressman at large. He
is considered one of the strongest re-
publicans in the state. It will be an
interesting fight under any and all
circumstances.
