it is something infinitely more serious
then joke.
Close had bad record before he went
into the Populist party. This record had
been made public long before Lewellins
had ever been heard of. The old Kan
sans in the Populist party knew Close
well and when Lewelling titled them
that Close was to be the private secre-
tary there was loud protest. But Close
out-manouvered all his antagonists and
got the appointment. Breidenthal
warned LewelIing against him and so
did hundreds of other Populists Of stand

Lorenzo ID. LewellIng. the ostensible
head. But the real official head was
that private secretary. He has wrapped
| the governor around his finger as Irvine.
| He has carried every point that he
wanted to. He has dictated the policy
of the governors actions and used him
as a tool to secure money for the private
secretary's private purse.
Lewelling at best weak man and
| it is not surprising that ne has allowed
Close to mould him and his Office at
will. Lewelling has not been governor
of Kansas. Close has run things as his
own sweet will has dictated. 1t is prob
ably saving too much to declare that
Lewelling has been a cats-paw, but he
has been very near it.
He was undoubtedly cognizant of the
fact that Close received money in person
from Peter Kline, and it was his duty to
at once publicly denounce him and re-
move him from the executive Office.
Artz was removed for a much lesser
cause, and Close should have been
bounced forthwith
But Close appears to have had an in
huence over this infantile milk-and-
water governor that Artz did not have.
1t is ridiculous to think that an employer
fears to remove an employe, but that
was the case with Lewelling and Close.
Lewelling does not dare remove him.
There is surely something back of this.
Close has Lewelling thoroughly cowed
The governor is afraid to offend Close,
much less discipline him. He has the
same fear for Dick Chase. Does Close
hold the same damaging secret against
Lewelling that Chase does? And if he
does, what is it:
