A curious political contest is going on In
the Fort Scott Kansas) district, where
General John H. Rice and his son are op
posing candidates for the State legislature
The general in his stump speeches tells the
voters that the boy is not as old as he viii
be some day, and that it is foolish to sen6
boy to do job when a man is available
His best wishes go with the young fellow
of course; but really when it comes t.
making laws and all that sort of thing h
everybody ought to vote for the old man
On the other hand, the son tells his audi
ences that new blood is needed in the leg
islature and that the lean and sipperet
pantaloon ought to seek the quiet of tn
chimney corner. 1t would be cruel to sent
the old man into the maelstrom of legisla
tive life when a devoted son stands read.
to take the post of danger and give to hi
country the full measure of his ability. 1
will be interesting to see whether the argu
ments of the old man or the young mai
will prevail with the voters.
