Kansas Senate Battle Shapes Republican Power Struggles
A factional fight in Kansas politics centers on Chairman Cy Leland and a potential shift to ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn as party boss. Kansas leaders, including W. E. Sterne, push a revolution within the Republican ranks while multiple candidates vie for the Senate seat, with justice W. A. Johnston and ex-Governor Morrill among possible contenders. The Populists also plot to control both legislative branches and name a successor to Senator Peffer.
