In the Shape Of a State Board
Appointment.
Why the Vacancy on the State Board
of Charities Continues to Be a
Vacancy for Awhile.

Frank NJ. Lockhard, Of Norton, ex-
state senator and at present clerk Of
the court of appeals for the western di-
vision. northern department. was in the
city Saturday. he was here for a pur-
pose
Senator Lockhard is considered an
INSTRUMENTATION man as he has
been disappointed in getting what he
wanted under this administrations
place on the board of charities.
When Senator WilcOckson was ap-
pointed on the board. Loekhard was a
candidate backed By Webb McNall. the
well known Sixth district politician
Wilcockson was appointed and Lock
hard left out in the cold This made
him rather sore as well as N1cNau, and
it is said both participated in the Kan
sas City conference which decided up
on Judge J. B. Johnson Of this city to
lead the anti-Cy Leland forces a few
months ago.
Lockhard is now considered an ap-
plicant for the place on the board OF
charities made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Walter n. Allen and it may now
be given him as a sort of an olive
branch by Governor Morrill,
Speaking of this vacancy now exist
ing on the board of charities, it is well
recognized that the governor is merely
casting about to see where he may be-
stow the plum with the best results.
Inasmuch as there is liable to be
trouble if the Sixth district fellows like
McNau and Lockhard are not appeased.
it might be a stroke of policy to give
the latter the vacant place on the
board.

son one hand that mysterious factor

both financial and industrial circles,
while on the other, political class and

may prove baneful over wide surface

made that in view of the present politi-

Christian patriots of the nation was at
once proposed and adopted by rising

our nation is in the throes of a great

every means to obtain showing of their

Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not patent
