Kansas
Our neighAbors across the river have not
been excited over the canvass. In fact
very little Canvassing has been done, and 1t
will be memorable in the annals OF the
State as quiet year in politics. The cleo
ton Is for a full set Of State officers, except
Secretary OF State, and for Legislature.
Governor Foster heads the ticket, and not.
withstanding the noisless character Of the
campaign reasonably sure Of a reelection
by a handsome majority As the Legisla'
ture will not be called on to choose Unit
ed States Senator, the contest for member
ship Is less animated than 1t was two years
ago, but II Is not forgotten that II the
Democrats succeed in securing 1t they will
re.distriCt the Congressional districts Of the
State for their supposed party advantage.
This fact lends importance to the complex.
ion Of the candidates to be chosen.
Foster had plurality OF 1920 over
Ewing two years ago, and majority over
all OF 1852. There were four candidates in
the field that year, Stewart, representing
the Prohibitionists and Plat, the Green.
hacker Stewart received 4,l4j votes and
Plat 9,072. This year,there isagain Pro
hibition candidate in the field, and It Is al
most certain that he will receive much
larger vote than in 1870, but the problem
isas to how much OF II draft he will make
respectively on the two old parties.
Iowa will go Republican, Of course rs
she has steadily done for thirty years.
There Is a United States Senator to elect to
fill the vacancy created by Ex-Governor
Klrkwood going into the Cabinet. lie Is
not candidate for reelection.
None Of the November States, except
Minnesota, will choose Il United States
Senator Secretary Window will probab.

great deal Of prestige in the Treasury De
partment and is popular in Minnesota
That State will vote on three proposed
amendments to her Constitution These
prohibit special legislation, provide fol
equal taxation and make the compensa
ton Of members Of the Legislature s. pei

for regular sessions.
Colorado elects judicial and county Off.
GERS, and votes on the relocation Of the
State Capital. Maryland elects State
Comptroller, half its Senate and full
House Of Delegates. Massachusetts will
elect all the State officers and the Legis
lature. In Mississippi State officers will
be chosen and a Legislature. Tile contest
between the Bourbon Democracy and The
combined opposition is a very close one
and on a fair vote It is believed BY the best
informed that the opposition will win, &c
fat as the Governor Is concerned. The
Legislature will undoubtedly be Demo
cratic, and Senator Lamar, the pres
ent incumbent has the best chance
Of being his own successor. In
Nebraska the election will be unimportant
A Supreme Judge and two regents OF the
State University are all the officers to be
elected, but al amendment to the consti
tuition, allowing woman suffrage, will be
voted on. Pennsylvania elects State
Treasurer and county officers There is ar
