The visit is made in response TO a per.
sonaI invitation from Mckinley.
Tom Anderson was born and spent a
part of his life near Canton, ad has
been a friend of the great Ohio states.
man for many years. It is quite likely
that Mckinley will put him in posses
sion Of some inside political news during
his visit. The fact that Mckinley sent
for him is significant and it might be
well TO keep an eye on Tom Anderson
from this time on.

IT HAS HELPED MORRILL,.
A. W. Smith Of Mcpherson county,
Is in the city. He arrived yesterday
afternoon on business, and is spending
a portion of mis- time visiting among
the politicians. Mr.. Smith is candi-
date for representative from McPher-
son county and expresses the opinion
that he viii have little if any opposi-
ton in the district
In conversation with a reporter last
night Mr.. Smith said ''It is my opin-
lon that Leland's recent flop has help
ed the governor-has created sympa,-
thy for him and will thereby increase
the number Of his supporters.
The sense of justice among the
American people causes them TO look
with severe condemnation on treachery
and L believe that Mr.. Leland's action
was nothing less than treachery of the
worst kind.
IF Governor Morrill, has made mis-
takes, Leland is responsible, for he had
most to do with the governors action,
lie was his advisor and counsellor He
has done little for the governor, while
the governor has done everything for
him"
HOOD is A CANDIDATE.
The report that Major Calvin Hood of
Emporia will remove TO Kansas City is
without foundation, but the statement
that he will again be a candidate for
the United Stables senate is true.
For some reason, which even Major
HOODS friends do not understand, the
day following Chairman Leland's con-
ference with Governor Morrill,, he de-
termined TO get into the race for SEN
ator again. A prominent Republican
Gays that Major Hood recognized in
Leland's action a probability that the
chairman might also again try to secure
the nomination. Others claim that
Major Hood has been only waiting for
an opportunity TO enter the field, and
believed an excellent one was presented
A conference of Major Hoods friends
was held in Emporia last Monday. at
which it was fully determined that
Major Hood would become a candidate
for senator. At this conference it was
decided that meeting of Major Hoods
friends should be held in Topeka to
formulate plans for the campaign. The
date for this meeting has not been Sc
lected.
The annual report that Major Hood
VIII remove TO Kansas City arises from
the fact that he recently purchased
considerable stock in the Missouri Ma
tionai bank of that city. This deal was
made in order that Harry p. Clark .
son-in-law of Major Hood, might be
given position in the bank.
AS TO LYON COUNTY.
Representative l. z. Lambert and ].
w. Cunningham Of Emporia were in the
city yesterday, taking dispositions from
expert surgeons as TO what constitutes
a reasonable fee for the professional
treatment Of a cancer. This question is
brought out in suit in the district
court of Lyon county in which physi-
clan is suing a patient for fees.
Representative Lambert is a candi-
date for reelection. Mr.. Cunningham
Is candidate for Judge of the Fifth
judicial district Mr.. Cunningham will
have the support of the Lyon county
delegation 10 the convention. AS that
county lacks but one vote of the neces-
sary number to nominate, Mr.. Cunning
hams friends are confident that he will
be chosen.
Asked concerning the gubernatorial
situation Mr.. Lambert said: The Re
publicans Of Lyon county are divided
Mr.. Treutman has friends who are
working zealously for him. Mr.. Pot
ter also has many friends taking part
In a canvass in his interests while many
others are warmly supporting Govern
or Morrill, and the entire state admin
istration."
Mr.. Lambert says there is absolutely
ib truth in the report that Major Hood
Will remove to Kansas City from En-
poria. Asked as to the probability of
Mr.. Hoods becoming a candidate for
the United States senate, Mr.. Lambert |
said: Major Hood is being urged TO /
become a candidate by his many friends |
and it is my opinion that he Will be. /
The major has not yet said so, Chowev- |

KING AFTER IT.
DR. Pitcher of Winfield is in Topeka /

Senator King of Cowley county IS in |
the race for the Populist nomination |
for governor.
This is the farmers year" said he.
and they are going to nominate
farmer, and that man will be King.
He is just as sure of the nomination
as a man can be. We are going 10
have a campaign like that of 1890 and
L will be a farmers campaign. The
farmers have not had much 10 do with /
politics since then, but they are awake
now. The politicians do not know this
but they are not going 10 have any
thing 10 do with the nomination OF
King He viii be nominated by the
farmers and elected by them without
the help OF politicians.
King has not been around any him
self. He and his two little boys have
been busy putting in their crop and he
has not had time TO get around. II
IS not necessary for him TO do any 1
thing. He viii be nominated anyhow.
These plans 10 sidetrack King will not
succeed, because the people want |
