Republican State Offices.

Candidates for state offices on the
Republican ticket are becoming act
i've. Chester l. Long is supposed to
oe in the lead for the gubernatOrial
nomination. Here is a list of the can
didates who have begun to work for
the other state Office nominations:
For lieutenant governor only two
names have come to the surface so
far-Harry Richter of Morris county,
and W. NJ. Martin of Bourbon.
Five candidates have already been
entered in the race for attorney gen.
eral-F. B. Dawes of LeavenwOrth;
Henry McGrew of WyandOtte; j. W.
Brinkerhoff of Rice; VIII. Mcbride
of Montgomery, and Harry Bone of
Clark. The latter is very likely to
drop out of the list because he has
been slated for assistant United States
district attorney.
Two new candidates have been
mentioned for state auditor. They
are: Harry Darlington Of WyandOtte
and Captain Henry Booth of Pawnee
George Cole may again be forced into
the fight by his friends, aud Charli,
| McCabe of Shawnee, is being pushed
forward as a candidate.
There is a movement on foot t,
start Senator Fred A. Stocks Of Mar
shall county, out after the nOmina
ton for state treasurer. If this i
done, he will make it lively for tn
, three other candidates-O. L. Athel
ton of Russell, Senator Batty of Ma
! rion, and Representative Fran
D Grimes of Wichita county. Crime
$ will receive the backing of j. R. Blu
;. ton.
q The latest candidates mentioned Il
secretary Of state are: Sam Johnso
n of Doniphan, and Bert Pullian
v Rice. Frank Brown of Anderson
, Newt Ury of Bourbon, and GeorI
II Clark of Geary, are the three 9th,
= candidates. Try is after an India
r agency, and if he gets it he will N
f. be in the race. Clark is the mo
n active candidate of all and he believ
?. that at the proper time the Othe
It will get out of his way.
It The list of candidates for assoc
~ ate justice still numbers four. Tn,
are: Elrick Cole of Barton, judi
Graves of Lyons, Judge Benson
Franklin, and Nels Case of Labett
This promises to be an interestiI
race.

Ex-senator W. A. PETER of Shawnee;
Judge A. W. DennisOn Of Butler:
Senator Nose Householder of CherO-

and Mary E. Lease of Sedgwick. Sen

sons candidate for governor, and it
is further limited that at the proper
time Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
will hoist the FOrney banner.
For lieutenant governor A. NJ. Har-
vey, the present incumbent, will find
opposition in the persons OF P. P. Ell

Campbell Of Labette, and Senator
Titus of Harper,
Attorney General Boyle has been
very busy trying to uphold the laws
passed by the last Pop legislature,
but that will not be a circumstance

tor W. B. CrOssen of Miami.
Only one Pop has come out so far tC

secretary of state. His name is j. G
Hopper, and he lives at Ness City.
State Auditor Morris will have Il
defeat Representative Foley of Nor,
ton county, and J. B. Gibbs, cOlOred
of WyandOtte, if he desires to max,
the race against the Republican nom

of LeavenwOrth, the celebrated wit
ness before the legislative investigat
ing committee, is said to cherish tn
hope of writing "state auditor" be

least, and longer if he can.
Representative Ed JaQuins Of Cow

disappointed when Attorney General
Boyle decided Saturday that school
districts and counties which have
contracts in force before the text

new books, must live up to the con-
tracts. The state superintendent had
been advising the counties and dis
trictS to avoid their contracts where
they could. Last week he issued a
circular in defense of himself and
stating his position. 1t in part seeks
to override the attorney general on a
legal question. but Webb McNall
Overruled the assistant only few
days ago in like manner. Prof. Stry-
ker says:
Every opinion inyolvinga question
of law that has been given out from
this Office has been obtained from the
attorney generals office. Mr.. Boyle
has been away much of the time on
the stock yards and other cases. We
have been called upon to give Opin-
ions and must do 50 at once. The
opinion on the contracts for text
books, like many Others, was given by
Assistant Attorney General Smelling.
If decisions Of courts in our own state
are to govern, Mr.. Smelling is clearly
right.
