Iov1rr AGAINST xAHAH.
Monitor Evidently Wants : salinaits
for Appellate Judge.

The political game which H. N.
Gaines is engineering in this district
is evidently not in harmony with J.
H. Mahan's aspirations. Mr.. Mahan
wants to run for something. He ran
for Judge and was beaten; then 1t was
given out that he would run for
county attorney. then for state sena-
tor, then for appellate judge.
But the Monitor this week brings
out R. A. Levitt Of Salina as a prob
able candidate and only mentions
Mahan's candidacy. Mr.. Gaines has
his sympathies with Saline county
naturally and he evidently proposes
to squelch Mr.. Mahan at the start.
Just what Mr.. Mahan will do now is
not apparent. II he is wise he will
let somebody else run. He is not a
good runner and with the leading Pop
paper Of the county against him his
doom is sealed.
