From the Lawrence Daily World for March 26, 1906: “Charles F. Scott was nominated for congressman from the Kansas Second District Saturday, defeating Henry Allen by some 1,400 votes. Scott carried five of the nine counties and his nomination is tantamount to election. Allen won in Wyandotte, his home county of Franklin, Miami and Bourbon. Scott won the heated contest in Douglas, Johnson, Anderson, Linn and Allen. : City voter registration for the April 14 election is 2,321, which is not a record-breaker. It was hoped the figure would top 2,500 but it did not come close. : While the fixers in Washington are delaying the statehood game, the fixers in Oklahoma are holding on to the hundreds of fat political appointments which the federal government has to distribute. : Have you noticed how many of the big shows are coming to cities in Kansas? There is so much wealth in the state now that a trip to a town of 10,000 is as profitable as a trip to a town the size of 50,000 once was.”
