Leland’s schemes in Kansas politics detailed in Wichita
A Washington dispatch exposes Cy Leland’s plan to place John H. Thomas in the Indian Territory judgeship as part of a broader Republican power play. Milton Brown of Garden City and others resisted Leland’s slate at the Wichita convention, leading to betrayals, delegate shuffles, and threats of retaliation. Brown’s anger deepened as Attorney General McKenna revealed Leland’s competing candidate, ending Brown’s hopes for the judgeship and promising future political eruptions in Kansas.
