been 9,874 failures In Kansas-failures
to get the offices the boys wanted.
Emporia Republican: If MCNalI keeps
up his gait, what he doesn't find out
about insurance companies will not be
worth knowing. He has very inQuiring
turn Of mind.
BelOlt Call (Pop): Many good whole
some reforms have been inaugurated
since the PODullsts came into control Of
the State. Thousands OF dollars have
been saved to the taxpayers, and the
good work Is not near finished and will
be continued.
Emporia Gazette (Rep): Webb Nc
Nall Ia going to run for Congress In the
Sixth district. II Webb should get to
Congress he would tie a bunch Of fire.
crackers in tin can on the tail of the
Great Red Dragon and chase him into
the Arctic ocean.
Kansas City Tribune (Rep): OF
course Chairman Simpson regarded the
proposition that the artificial members"
OF the State committee, those who don't
represent anybody but the defeated
State ticket Of two years ago, should be
tiOns as preposterOus- is one Of 'en.
EmpOrla Republican: We predict
that with the advent Of warm weather
and the prevalence Of spring fever the
war spirit will begin to wane. Even
now good many have quit talking war
and gone to making garden. The less
war and more garden there Is In this
country the better 1t will be for all
concerned.
Lawrence World: 1t was certainly an
unprecedented piece Of political work
for men who are not members Of the
Republican State central committee at
all to vote in the deliberations of the
committee. Such work is what made
us the minority party once and its con-
tinuance will do much to continue Leedy
another two years.
Emporia Republican: II the Repub-
leans mean to take aggressive steps in
State affairs, and so declare In their
platform, they will win; but If they
simply indulge in generalities and al
low the bosses to control the conVen-
tiOn, an advertisement in the Republi-
can would not discover their where
abouts after the election.
Lawrence World: 1t is to be- hoped
that the Republican committee, now
that 1t has been called together, will
gather up the reins that have been
pulled out of It's hands and proceed to
run the committee. This thing Of put
ting usurpers to the front has caused
more complaint than anything that has
happened in Kansas for years
Beloit Call (POp): The Republican
party Of Kansas would like very much
10 be restored to power again in the
State. The people now have q better
government than the Republicans gave
the State-and good thing is worth
keeping. The wishes Of the Republi-
can party will not be gratified. The Pop
nlists will stay in power because they
deserve to.
PlttsbUrg Daily Tribune (Pop.): The
Issue In the city election will be munich
pal ownership of public utilities and 1t Is
90 evident that the majority Of the peo-
pie are In harmony with this issue that
that there Is no uneasiness felt as to the
result. Pittsburg is not the only city In
the State that Is taking up the municipal
ownership issue Wichita is making the
light along the same lines. It Is a ma
turing sentiment
Kansas City Tribune (Rep): A Bug-
gestion to Mr.. Leland and Mr.. Sterne:
People are getting very tired OF both Of
you injecting your petty personal Quib-
bles into the deliberations of the party,
and would really appreciate 1t II you
would attend strictly to the duties OF
your respective Offices and keep your
noses out Of party affairs until you can
behave yourselves, and il you don't take
the gentle hints that are in the air,
yOn'll hear something drop.
