OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY,

THE Allen county convention which
selected delegates to Wichita was an
anti.LeIand convention. 1t refused
to even consider a motion that was
made 10 instruct the Wichita dele
gates to vote for him. The delegates
themselves were non.committal, and
however they may have voted at
Wichita, they were certainly not rec
-Ognized as Leland men by the conven-
tion that selected them. And yet the
dispatches sent out from here to the
Capital and the Kansas City Journal
practically said that it was Leland
convention and that all the delegates
were for him. One of the great arts
in politics is to ''claim everything
and Cy Leland and the men who fol-
low him have got it down fine.

panies. But there are 1900 people
who have no interest in either OF
them, except as their conduct and
management may advance or pro-
mote the general welfare. And 1t
seems to us that the 1900 have right
to say that the council shall be made
up. not in the interest of the Allen
County Gas Company, or in the in
terest of the Cooperative Gas Com
pany, but in the interest of the city
of lola. We think there would be no
division of sentiment on the PROPOSE
ton that three members of the cOun-
Gil should not be ID. Ewart, Geo. A.
Fry and Lutte NOrthrup, although
they are all three good business men
and good Republicans. The object
ion would be made at once that ma
jority of the council should not be
made up of members of the Allen
County Gas Company. But why
would not a similar objecti n be just
as valid against putting the council
into the hands of members of the
other Gas company? Both OF these
companies are lola enterprises, and
both are entitled to absolutely fair,
equal and impartial treatment; and
the only way such treatment can be
guaranteed is by the election of a city
council that has no financial interest
in either.
In making these remarks the REG
IsTER hopes that it will not be mis-
derstood. We are not rejecting up
on the integrity of any citizen, and
we are not pleading in the interest of
one company or the other. We are
simply arguing for what we believe
to be ''fOr the good of the order" And
if any reader has an reasons to offer
to show that the argument is not
good we should be glad to furnish
him space in these columns to present
them.

THE CITY ELECTION.

In view Of the approaching city
election the REGISTER desires to give
expression to one suggestion which it
believes will be endorsed by large
majority of the citizens of lola.
And that suggestion is that candi-
dates for all the elective offices be
selected from among those who have
no personal financial interest in either
of the gas companies.
The city administration Of the past
year has been made up of the very
best men in lola, and except in mat
tiers relating to one side or other of
the gas controversy it has incur
red remarkably little criticism. 1t
has kept the streets in good cOndi-
ton; they have been economical in
the expenditure of public funds, and
it has maintained quiet and or
der. Unfortunately, however, one
member of the council became stock
holder in the Allen County Gas Com
pany, and other members became
stockholders in the Cooperative Com
pany, and as matters came before the
council for action in which the con-
flictiDg interests of these two COM
panies were directly concerned the
charge was inevitable that personal
interest and prejudice rather than
consideration of the public good in.
fluenced the votes cast. We do not
believe that any citizen questions the
absolute integrity of any member o.
the council. But it is only human
nature for a man to look with a more
friendly eye upon proposition which
will be directly to his financial ad
vantage, than upon one which viii
be to his financial hurt. And it il
not an edifying spectacle to see thu
minutes of council meetings cumber
ed with charges of self-interest made
by Que councilman against another
and met by counter-charges Of a sim
liar nature.
There are perhaps a hundred mel
in lola who are financially interested
in one or the other of the gas com
