Probably the true reason is that SEN
ator Sterne knows he would stand a
better show with the regular commit
tee elected by the people than in the
executive committee selected by Jim
simpson and Cy Leland. 1t is not gen
orally known, but it is a fact, that the
chairman and secretary of the state
central committee, Jim Simpson and
Joe BrlStOW, and a majority of the eX-
ecutlVe committee were not selected by
the delegates in the state convention
/. me chairman and secretary of the
committee were selected by Governor
morrill, and then a resolution was
passed authorizing Jim Simpson to Sc
lecL an executive committee of eleven,
the idea being that the chairman would
select the executive committee from
the regular committee elected by the
people; But Mr.. Simpson selected Lit

We're outsiders. This created a great
deal of dissatisfaction among the mem
bers OF the state central committee
which has never been allayed. Sen

made members of the executive com

the state officers, and J. NJ Chisman
was appointed after earnest and re-
peated demands by Senator ingalls,

the state convention as mem bers of the
state central committee. Therefore by
reason of the appointment of outsiders.
MT Leland controls six of the execu-
tive committee while of the thfrty-five
members of the state central commit
tee ne only controls nine. That is the
reason there has been but one
meeting of the state central committee
since its selection by the state cOnven-
ton.
one of the Leland members of the
executive committee stated after the
hleetlng saturday night that the prin-
clpaI OBJECT of calling the members of
the committee together was to organize

that unless Leland could demonstrate

the feeling was very bitter against him

LONG IS FINALLY OUT
For Congress in the Seventh District
and Not for Governor.

Chester I. Long has formally an
nounced his candidacy for congress in
the Seventh district, having discovered
that there is not an urgent demand on
the part of the Republicans of Kan
sas for him to become a candidate for
governor.
Long agrees with the people of Kan
I would not make a good governor.
but 1 believe I would make a pretty
good congressman. 1 desire to accom-
pliSh the task of redeeming the Sew
enth district"
Now that Mr.. Long has decided what
he will do, the state will resume it's
customary quietude, and the people
who have been breathlessly watching
the political horizon to discover what
Mr.. Longs intentions were, now have
the opportunity of returning to their
business VOcatiOns, realizing that the
important question has been settled.
In announcing his candidacy for con-
gress, Mr.. Long said:
mo one has been running after me
to tender me the nomination for gov
ernOr or for congressman, and I am
simply going into this congressional
contest for the purpose of winning if
possible
The announcement of Mr.. Longs
candidacy has brought Judge Theo
Botkin, Geo. Getty of Syracuse, w. E
Stanley, the Wichita lawyer, Charley
Elliott of Wellington, J. w Brinker-
hOff Of Lyons, ex-senator Bentley Of
Wichita and J. O. Thompson of Pratt
county, into the field. These men have
been making a quiet campaign for the
nomination, but now the contest is
thoroughly inaugurated, and Mr..
Longs anticipation that he would
make a good congressman may not
be realized

While he has been working in south
eastern Kansas to secure evidence
against the mine operators who are vfO-
latlnS the anti-Scrip law as we'll as the
antitrust law the people of Newton

trust among the coal men and have
presented to the attorney general a
large amount of evidence in support of
the allegations.
1t is alleged by the Newton people
one man and that no departure from
an agreed scale OF prices is permitted
by the association of dealers.
II. L. Fisher of Newton who is not q
member of the alleged association. has
been making an effort to secure coal to

Correct Brain Cells.
Various Foods Effect.

There come times in ones life when
it well repays to take personal IN
ventory to see what is necessary TO
make life more of a success. It is
frequently found that some physical
disability stands in the way and robs
US of the exercise of our powers. This
is particularly true of the brain, whose
delicate mechanism is easily affected
by certain habits of food or drink COT
fee for instance is a peculiar narcotic
drug and directly affects the heart,
stomach and brain in d detrimental
manner, as any skilled physician will
attest.
The delicate brain cells upon which
we depend for skillful thinking and
planning cannot proceed properly
with their work if interfered with and
improperly nOurished. Postum Food
Coffee furnishes the food elements
needed to rebuild the grey matter in
brain and nerve cells. If it is properly
boiled full 10 minutes after boiling
commences, it is delicious. Persons
who decline to leave of the use of COT
fee entirely viii find much benefit
arise from using half Postum in their
Coffee and are generally won over to

Leavenworth's Two Secretaries.

A dispatch from LeavenwOrth today
says: "A blunder came to light when

new police board D. A. Coleman was
commissioned as such, vice T. G. Nc

later a commission was made out for
Davis. This failing to arrive in due

graphed the governor of the fact, when
another was made out naming Davis

board has two secretaries, but who is

NOW THEY BANQUET.
Teachers Meetings Made More En-
pertaining Than Heretofore.


Saturday was field day for the Shaw
nee county teachers. The county SUI
perintendent made a. departure from
the usual teachers association by plan
ming a banquet and toasts to be pre-
ceded by a social in Lincoln Post hall
The county teachers were invited to
bring baskets filed with things from
the farms and the result was crafty
ing. The tables were filled with a load
of provisions. There was short pre-
liminary programme and County Su-
perintendent Stout made an address of
welcome. Assistant Superintendent
Amis spoke for Superintendent Stryker
and gave statistics of Kansas schools
Ex-County superintendent Wright
made a short talk and superintendent
Davidson of the city schools closed the
regular programme.
At the banquet hall there was more
talking by we'll known teachers but the
good things on the table were first dis
posed of. County superintendent
Stout does not believe in doing. things
like other people and his bill of fare as
printed was an enigma.
Following is what was given each
teacher as he entered the room:

a Few Thoughts for Republicans to
Commit to Memory.


And seeing how the multitude
had voted for me | stopped political
speaking and wentup in the White

ciples, saying:
Blessed are thep poor for they shall
be poorer.
Blessed are the rich, for they shall
be made richer, and shall taste of
the good things of the world.
Blessed are those who expect
nothing, for they shall not be dis
appointed.
Blessed is the champion liar, for
he is my main dependence.
Blessed are the weak for they shall
be kicked off the face OF the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger, for
they shall have plenty of company.
Blessed are We when men shall
revile you and persecute you for my
sake, for you shall eat official pie at
my hands.
Blessed is the man that shall bring
me another bottle of ale, for this
one is all gone.
Blessed is the mln who contribu-
ted to the campaign fund, for lie
shall receive an hundred fold more
than he gave.
Blessed are the politicians, for we
are in the slne bolt.
Blessed is the thief for he shlll

Blessed is the lobbyist, for he shall

Blessed is the bunker, for his is
