Wichita. Dec 24.-GovernOr-elect Stan
ley says ne is not going TO do any
thing until after the POpulists have
closed their engagement at Topeka. His
time is being about evenly divided be-
tween home and Office. Yesterday he
was down town longer than on any 9th
er day this week, and during the day
he held a consultation behind closed
doors with H. J. Allen Of Ottawa. who
has been mentioned as a possibility for
the appointment OF private secretary.
After the conference between Allen and
the governor. Mr. Allen was asked by
q reporter whether he came to see the
governor on a special mission and he
said.
Il came over today 10 talk about pC-
ltical matters concerning some OF my
Republican friends who are applicants
for Office under Mr.. Stanley's admins
JratiOn-"
Mr.. Allen would not disclose the
names Of any of his friends who wanted
places Mr.. Allen was then asked If he
had been offered the appointment of
private secretary in case Judge Myatt
did not accept He said Governor Stan
ley did not offer him the place or had it
ever been limited TO him that he would.
You can positively state that I have
never even dreamed that such an honor
would be bestowed upon me. and the
first I knew that my name was being
used was when read it in the daily
papers"
In the Office of the governor during
the afternoon several ladies' were await
ing an audience One of them was a
client, another had a political mission
on hand; and as she passed out a dele
cation walked into the private Office.
They were recognized as being identified
with the ChildTen's home in this city.
and IL was limited at that they would
ask the governor TO recommend in his
message an appropriation for the main
renance Of the home.
ADot her ca Her Z z ofTfre who had q
half hours talk with the governor was

things 7 had learned from the polite

During the day it was pretty general
" discussed and rumOr is going the
rounds OF the political wiseacres that
the knockers had got in their strongest
work. and that Lit CTum had been
knocked completely out of the railroad
commissionership.A reporter started out
10 run the rumor down. and found a
prominent Republican politician. who
said that IT was a sure thing that Lit
Crum would be side-tracksd in the new
deal that was now being Matched up by
the knockers
