LEEDY WORKING HARD.
Not at His Duties az Governor. but In
Patching Up His Political
EenCes

Topeka, Kas.. Oct. A.-(Special0 While
Governor Leedy and his entire office force
are out making speeches daily. all of the
other state officers are attending to busi-
ness in the state house. This fact has
caused many Of the politicians to wonder
what 1t meant. Leedy's friends are at
tempting to make it appear that 1t is be-
cause Leedy. Little and Fleharty are the
favorite Pop orators of the administration.
and that they are always in great demand
This story has caused much amusement
fact is" said a prominent official to-day,
that Leedy Is scared to death for fear he
will be turned down at the next Pop state
convention. He and his office force are
out fixing up fences. In some places they
find that they have entirely new fences to
build. The other state officers are not
worried over the situation, so far as the
convention Is concerned, and for that rea-
son are attending to business and making
aries. The governors force come in each
month to draw their salaries 1t Is barely
possible that the auditor will be requested
to send their pay to them next time. as
they will want to stay in the field until
election day. AS for the story that Leedy
and his aggregation are in demand. know
positively that that is false. Major Shreve,
a clerk in the governors office. is the ad-
vance agent of the aggregation. He writes
out to various points and asks if one of
his performers can show there. If ne re-
ceives a favorable reply. he fixes 4 date
and gives out the Information that Govern
or Leedy. Ed Little or H. B. Fleharty has
been invited to speak at such n place.
That's the truth about the matter"

BOB sEMPLE SAVING WOOD.
Not SlObberinE Over the Administrn-
ti0n, but Trying to Help 1t Out
of n Bad Hole.

Topeka, Kas.. Oct. 2.-tSpecial) A num-
ber of sub-officials around the state house
take occasion at every turn to make some
sighting remark about Bob Semple. deputy
bank commissioner. because he Is not u
warm supporter of Governor Leedy. While
it Is probably true that Mr.. Semple enter
tains no particular friendship toward the
governor, the fact remains that he Is doing
more at the present time to help the adj
ministration out of trouble than any other
official around the state house. The others
all profess TO be friendly to the admins-
tration but instead of standing up for 1t
during its treasury deficit troubles, every
thing they say or do puts the administration
that much deeper in the mire. Semple is
the only accountant around the state house.
and while the others are criticizing him on
account of his convictions, he is busily en-
gagged trying to dig up some figures that
will make Il favorable showing for Leedy
and his crowd 1t is hard work, but Bob
has a way of figuring that, ON the face of
things. makes it appear that the Pops are
able to manage the affairs of the great
state of Kansas.
