preparing for a shut down, and within
a week probably. not a. grinding wheel

The suspension of operations is con-
templated chiefly because of the high
railroad rates and threatened early

some extent for the decision.
The millers expect to remain idle
about three days in order to reduce
stocks and secure railroad rates, and
then it is expected that they viii be able

tion-says 20 Republicans Do.
Cyrus Leland is quoted ais saying III
am in favor of a constitutional conven-
ton, and believe that there are fully
20 Republican. memDers-elect of the
lower house who viii favor a resOlu-
ton calling one. of the eleven senators
elected by the Repu blicans, believe
five of them viii favor the resolution
This question of a constitutional con-
ventiOn should not be made a party
issue. 1t should be nOl-partisan. Many
Republicans have i'm the past Favored
it. and they cannot afford now to take
the back track simply because the Pop
ulists are in control OF the legislature
and have sprung the question, too.
tThe State Bar association has called
attention to the urgent need of q new

Join hands with the POpulists and take

sary resolution.
..lThe selection of delegates to the
convention would not take place for at
least three years to come, and # the
Republicans cannot get lined up IN
time for q victory in Kansas then 1t
will be their own fault. I apprehend
that some of the POpulist members viii
oppose the resolution, especially those
living in the western part Of the state,
where their representation in the leg1S-
lature would be cut down under a new
constitution. but believe that enough
Republican members would vote for it

Sam r.. Peters is opposed TO q con-
