A sprawling water deal graft case centers on Salisbury and associates in Grand Rapids with plans to fund a hydraulic water plant, bribe city officials, and maneuver legislation.

Leland in saddle as Kansas machine power shifts

A Lawrence Journal editor, Cyrus Leland, is described as the central force in Kansas politics, with anti-machine factions rallying behind Pollack’s federal judgeship on a backdrop of party divisions.
