REAL FRESH POLITICAL POINTERS.

If Cy. Leland, Jr., should be chosen to
the United States senate he will not be
behind the older members when II comes
to telling army stories.
Unfortunately for John James ingalls,,
the fellows who are booming him for the
United States senate do not have any
votes In tho joint session Of the legisla-
ture.
As Joseph Lowe Of Washington county,
is Endorsed by the Democrats generally
for railroad commissioner, and as it is a
non-partisan board, MIR. Lowe may get
his appointment.
Judge Scion o. Thatcher, who Is running
as young crowd candidate for the
United States senate. should get out
among the boys if he hopes to get the
nomination on the first ballot.
Towns which are ambitious to have a
live United States senator in their midst
should go to Topeka and learn wisdom
That town has two senators which she
is anxious to trade for a state house ap-
preparation.
Major Morrill, is the only real dark
horse candidate for the senate. In other
words, he is almost the only man in the
state who, without being a candidate
stands a chance of being nominated in
a stampede.
Mr.. ingalls, says he would not be will
ing to take PETERS arm and march up
the center aisle to the vice presidents
chair to be sworn In, and therefore is
willing to wait two years longer before
taking his seat in that body.
Arch-ansel Hoch. of the Marion Record,
says that Kansas must have an orator
in the United States senate. Ingalls, and
Lease might draw cuts. But after all,
would not a stabilized statesman better
represent our corn and hog industry.
Famer a. W. Smith will have three
votes in the Republican Legislative caucus
for senator and is therefore a sort of
dark-horse candidate; and as II takes
only fffty-three 20 nominate he may slip
around and get the other fifty without
much trouble.
The fact that Senator Morgan of Chase;
McTaggart of Montgomery: Wilcoxen of
Logan; and Representative Brown OF
Crawford; Miller OF Morris: Beekman Of
Cowley. and Bone of Clark. are among the
Hood supporters for the senate is proof
that he is not local candidate.
The fact that a member of the legisla-
ture can vote for either Thatcher. Hood.
Ady or Leland and go home 10 his con-
stituents and not be criticized nor called
10 account for his vote is proof that no
mistake can be made in the selection Of a
United States senator next month.
or the total Republican membership OF
the incoming legislature but ffty-five
have really expressed themselves as
pledged or promised 10 any one OF the
numerous candidates. This leaves sixty
members who are still viewing the field
with a patriotic desire to vote for the
best man.
Mr.. Joseph w. A6y's friends claim a
good support in the Third and Sixth dis
tricts. neither of which have senatorial
candidates. and, as the Big Seventh. his
home district, has a large number of it's
members pledged 10 him. he Is recognized
as one OF the men who will be in IL TO the
end OF the fight, his candidacy being in 10
wise a local ore.
Wholesale jobbers. who 1--we on the Kan
sas side of the Missouri river. assuming 20
stand fer the shipping and business in
terests Of the state are making certain
demands on the Morrill, administration IN
connection with the railway commission
ershirs. have publicly announced that
they win take two Of the three members
of this board. As Kansas railway laws
are enacted 10 control Kansas railways
and as the farmers and the stock growers
are the real Kansas shippers ard the ones
who pay the freight, Il is fair 10 say that
Major Morrill, and his associates. being
Kansas men. will not name q man or the
board Of railway commissioners who HIVES
within q hundred miles OF the Missouri
river.
