A general primary election of all parties is being held throughout Kansas today for tho nomination of candidates for tho state office to be filled at the November f lection and for a delegation of eight lepresentativeii In congress. On tho republican tilde tUe campaign has been the blttercut ever waged in this state. As In Iowa and other states of the middle west the tight is one between the progressive and standpat factions of the party. Among the chief leaders of the progressive faction are Senator Hrlstow and Congressman Victor Alurdock. Senator Curtis Is supporting the regulars. The republican fight centers in the nomination of a candidate for goveinor. Governor Stubba, who has led the Insurgent forces and caused six Insurgent candidates to enter the race for congress In the districts represented by the regulars, is a candidate for renomlnation. The regular candidate against him is Thomas D. Wagstaff, a young lawyer of Independence, who Is demanding that the republicans of the state who stand for President Taft and his national policies line up In his Interest. Both candidates express confidence in tho result of the primaries. Those In charge of Governor Stubbs' campaign claim his nomination by twenty thousand, while the Wagstaff leaders say their candidate will win by ten thousand. Democrats Confident. As a result of the factional strife In the republican ranks the democrats believe they will make a better Knowing at the i11j next November than ever before in the history of Kansas.

Hodges, of Olathe, with all Indications pointing to the success of the litter. : -" - Both the socialists and prohibitions will i put complete state tickets in the field, but will not contest this year for representatives in congress.

Miller of the Fourth district and William A. Calderhead of- tho Fifth, both of whom are allied with the regulars, have hard fights on their . hands and the defeat of one or both for renomlnation would cot be surprising. D.

THREATS OF DEATH Have Been Received by Spanish Premier for Fight with Vatican. HIS BODYGUARD DOUBLED (American News Service! Madrid, Aug. 2. Premier Canalejas, directing the struggle of Spain against the Vatican, received death threats today which led to the doubling of his body guard. The crisis with the Vatican has brought forth hundreds of telegrams and letters. More than one of the latter demand surrender and peace on the pain of assassination. "Drop the contest, or you will get what Gen. Weyler barely missed," is a free translation of one of these notes which is declared by the officials to be typical. In spite of this development, attributed to fanatics, the premier today continued his preparations for a long struggle without a recession from the stand he has taken. Following the departure of King Alfonso and Queen Victoria a report was circulated today declaring that the premier and the king were almost at loggerheads over the future policy, the clericals and the reactionaries having brought such pressure to bear on Alfonso. This story had it that Alfonso had gone to England for three weeks in order to clear himself of responsibility as far as possible, and to give Canalejas a fair chance with a free hand. The strengthening of the- government's position, especially in Catlonia was continued today with all possible secrecy. In two days 10,000 troops have been sent to reinforce Gen. Weyler.

THE ISSUE III IOWA

Question of Standing Pat to Be Taken Up at Republican Convention. WILL BE HELD TOMORROW (American News Service) Des Moines, la., Aug. 2. The early arrival in the city of a host of prominent republican leaders from every part of the state affords evidence in support of the general expectation that tomorrow's state convention will, be an exceedingly lively and interesting gathering. The convention will not be primarily a nominating convention. With the exception of candidates for the judiciary, nominations for state offices were recently made at primaries. The chief business of the convention will be to adopt a platform. The standpat republicans, though defeated in the primaries, have not given up the fight and they propose to make every effort to gain control. All indications, however, are that the convention will be controlled by the insurgent or progressive faction, under the leadership of Senators Dolliver and Cummins. If these indications are borne out the convention, undoubtedly will frame a platform modeled after that adopted by the Indiana republicans. In all probability Senators Cummins and Dolliver will be Indorsed for their fight in the cause of "political righteousness." The convention will have added interest because Senator Cummins is going to preside as temporary chairman and as such will deliver the keynots speech. Speculation is rife as to the tenor of his address. Some of the par ty leaders are of the opinion that his speech will be an Incitement to continued insurgency, while others declare that it is more likely to be a plea for party peace.
