AT THE STATE HOUSE.
Special Legislative Session Sem
timent on the Wane.
Representative Patton Says He
Will Not Come Back.
News ofthe State Departments-Per-
sonals and Notes

The prospects for a special session Of
the legislature do not seen to be i'm
proving to any great extent and many
of the politicians express the opinion
that no such extraordinary action viii
be taken by the governor. Z.
There is an artificial demand among
some of the politicians of the Sixth dis
trict," said r. W. Turner, secretary of
the state board of railroad commission
ers who has returned from an extended
visit at home Il doubt very much if
there will be a special session. contin-
ued Mr.. Turner. There is no great de-
Tnand for it anywhere, SO far as have
observed While many people believe
that some hingsh ould be done to redeem
the campaign promises made by the
party in power at the last election yet
of the legislature
Representative Patton of Kiowa coun-
ty. who soon after the legislature adj
journed went to Washington to IiveWaS
one of the governors most trustworthy
support of a maximum bill Mr. Pat
ton said when he left Topeka that if a
special session were held he would re
turn and lift up his voice in the inter-
ests of the people, no difference where
he might be located.
With this assurance the governor did
not regret the departure of Mr.. Patton,
and felt that he could depend upon that
vote if emergency should arise. But he
will be disappointed Mr.. Patton has
written to Representative Ed McKeever
that under no circumstances viii he re
turn to Kansas for a special session or
any other purpose.
Patton's removal from the state and
subsequent declaration that he will not
return takes another vote away from
the maximum rate bill. Should the re-
naming recalcitrant members adhere to
their positions, legislation is impossi-
BILE
Asked if the outlook for special ses-
sion was any more encouraging to him
than it was two months ago, Governor
Leedy said today:
No, I can't say that it is. I don't
know whether we will have a special
session or not. The way things look
now there will be none. But the situa-
ton may change in the next few weeks
or months and it is really impossible to
say just what viii be DONE
The impression is growing in various
parts of the state, Notwithstanding the
demand that jis being made by the pol
iticians that the special session idea is
simply talk and that the governor will
take no action towards calling the leg

J. N. Lowry OF Vernon, is Up Against
it and Writes Letter.

The attorney general has referred to
the state board of railroad commission
ers a request from j. n. Lowry of Yer

GOOD WORD FOR LEWELLING.
A Friend of schoolboy Days Stands
Up for Him.

The Wichita Beacon prints the follow
ing:
Rev. Bentley Hampton. who recently
came here from Iowa to accept the posi-
ton of pastor of the Friends church in
this city, is an old time friend Of Gov.
LeweIling.
Rev. Hampton thinks the men who
are fighting his friend Of years are pO-
Htical tricksters. To hear him talk one
would think he is a fighting person. and
he seems to wonder that Gov. LeWelling
does not strike back.
"LeWelling and I w Mt to school to-
gether,' he said last night, 'and have
known him ever since and know him
to be an honest man.
His father died when he was an in
fant, and his mother was burned to
death when he was 5 years old. He has
fought his own way in the world ever
since he was 5 years Of age and if the
character that he has built up for integ-
rity III all these years can be torn down
by a lot of politicians, I would like to
know what character is worth, anyhow.
In the sixteen years that Mr.. Level
ling was superintendent of the indus
trial school of Iowa, he handled a good
deal of the states funds, and I know
there was never a breath of suspicion
against him.
IF he is a boOdler now. he has learn
ed it since he came to Kansas. A man
Goes not, as a rule. live honest until he
is past middle life and then become a
dishC @ast man.
4 have wondered why Gov. LeweIling
does not come back at his enemies, but
upon reflection that is not strange. A
man cannot fight wind, and there is no
substance to these charges. From what
I know of the man, and I have known
him all his life, I believe just as soon
as some man who is responsible, makes
q definite charge against Mr.. LeweIling,
he will find that he has awakened a lion
from his slumber.
Il do not want to take any part in
political strife. but I think it is time
that the men who have known Gov.
I.ewelling all their lives should speak
out in meeting. I know that the men
who are trying to down Gov. Levelliug
are defamers of character, and il such
men are allowed to talk down a man
like l. D. Lewelling, then Kansas is not
a fit state for a decent, honest man TO
live in.
Z was glad to read in the Beacon the
brave words of eX-Mayor Cox, when he
said that the men in Wichita who knew
Gov. LeweIIing ought TO defend him The
ex-mayor is a Republican, but that
sfo VS. that he has some respect for
character and holds mans reputation
above party politics"

To the Republican league that the free

Discussing the subject with Journal
reporter today. Mr.. McNan said:
The recent meeting of the State Re

disreputable politicians in the state,
spent twenty minutes abusing a lot of
decent people in Kansas. there were not
10 exceed 100 persons present. The
meeting like that of the league which
preceded it, was a sore appointment

Cussing the result of the meeting at the
hotels that night, were very frank to
say that IN their opinion the gathering
had been a failure and would do the
party infinite harm

refectively. that a few months ago.
when forty or fifty silver Republicans
held an imprOmptu meeting at the Ma
tional hotel. the Republican papers ridi-
Culed the meeting. laying particular
stress upon the small attendance and
assumed that it was a certain indica-
ton that the free silver sentiment is
dying out in the Republican ranks.
If the indications were true as to the
silver Republicans the same rule will
under their peculiar theories apply
with equal force to the league conven-
ton"
Continuing Mr.. AIcNalI said: There
Is no particular demand for a free sill
YER meeting at this time, but I am in
cltned TO issue a call for a meeting of
that character in Topeka simply to
show the Republican league that we
can drown them in point of numbers.
