KNOCKERS ARE BUSY

Governor Stanley.
CRUM MAY GET LEFT
Many RumorS are Rife and
New States are Making.

If vonid take an expert guesser to make
any correct predictions on what Governor
Elect Stanley would spring on the pubic
aext He says he is not going to do any
ching until af.er the Populistic panorama
has closed its engagement 81 Topeka. his
sime is beiAg about evenly divided between
,o,,. and office. Yesterday he was down
town longer than on any other day TINS
week. and during the day he held a con-
sultation behind closed doors with H. D.
Allen Of Ottawa. VINO has been mentioned
ae possibility for the appointment of
nrivate secretary. 1t is not thought by
very many of the politicians that Allen
was ever very dangerous possibility over
Judge Myatf. who, il is said has been OIL
fered the place by Governor Stanley. Alter
the conference 0etwe en- Allen and the gov
ernor. Mr. Allen was seen and asked by an
Eagle reporter whether he came TO see the
aovernor on a special mission, and he said:
u came oves- today 10 talk about political
matters concerning some of my Republican
friends who are applicants for office under
Mr.. Stanley's administration"
Mr. Allen wOUid not disclose the names
of any of his friends who wanted some Of
the ME. Mr. Allen was then asked if he
had been offered the appointment of pri-
vate secretary in case Judge Wyatt did not
accent. He said Governor Stanley did not
offer him the place or had il ever been
limited to him that he would. You can
positively state that 1 have never even
dreamed that such an honor would be be-
slowed upon me- and the first / knew that
nv name was being used was when 1 read
& in the daily papers
Mr.. Allen then left for the depot, where
he's boarded the $40 train for Emporia, and
holue TO Ottawa.
In the Office of the governor during the
after noon several ladies were awaiting an
erdie1 zee one of them was a Client; an
other had a political mission on hand; and
as she passed out a delegation walked in
10 the 2. -iyate office. They were recognized
as being identified with the Childrens
home in this city. and it was limited at
that they would ask the governor TO rec
ommend in his message appropriation
for the mai utenance of the home. The in
stitution is 4 worthy one and the manage
ment have abored under many difficulties
to keep the Chidrenfs home in the front
ranks of the charitable organizations Of
the citv.
Anothers caller at the Office who had a
half hours talk with the governor was Syl
Dunkin of Argonia. He is going to To-
peka and stopped over between trains.
When seen shortly after his talk he said:
II am not an Ofice-seezer. 1 am out of
the race for grain inspector. I just stop
ped over to ,ten the governor some things
I had learned from the politicians in the
western part of the state
During the day it was pretty generally
discussed and a rumor is going the rounds
of the political wiseacres that the knock
ers had got in their strongest work, and
that Lit Crum had been Knocked complete
iy out of the railroad commssionership
An Eagle reporter started out to run the
rumor down and found a prominent Re
publican politician, who said that Il was a
sure thing that Lit Crum would be side
tracked in the new deal that was now be-
ing Matched up by the knockers.
