special TO the Times from Topeka
says: Agitation OF new question is
now stirring political circles. 1t is
the division OF the state into halves
Discussion of this question has been
going on ever since the election in a
quiet way but now tho newspapers
have taken it up and are arguing it
with more or less vehemence. The
Republicans OF the west half OF the
state favor the proposition. for
that portion OF the state is
strongly, Republican, while those OF
the east Oppose it because the division
would make Chat half anti-Republi-
can. Democrats generally favor a
division for the reason that in tho
event OF the death of the Peoples
party they would be n control OF the
eastern half. where all the Large cities
are located and where their majorities
are. Aside from the political reasons
there are many good grounds for di-
vision. 1t is possible step will be
taken this winter to secure the pro.
posed division.
