any Attorney General ever elected by
Kansas voters.
Kansas City Star: Mort Albaugh has
ordered a Republican lovefeast to be
held in Topeka. Some Of the brethren
will come with concealed weapons.
Arkansas Valley Democrat; Let's see!
The State Republican convention de-
clared for old soldiers but that is the
extent Of their sympathy for them.
They give the young fellows the Offices
and 1t is ever thus.
Marysville Advocate and Democrat
(Pop.): The Republicans are mighty
weak on campaign thunder this cam
paign. AS yet no semblance Of a rea-
sonable excuse has been given for dis
continuing the present State administra-
tion.
Kansas City Times: Somebody has
asked: What shall self-respecting Dem
0crats do In Kansas this year?" Ninety
nine per cent. of them, II they are really
self-respecting, will vote for their in
terests and their neighbOrs' interests,
and hence vote against the Republican
corporation party.
Medicine Lodge Index (Pop): Take
the corporation support away from the
Republican ticket this year and 1t would
go down beneath 100000 majority. The
corporations can well afford to invest
literally to get their servants into
power. They have learned that the Pop
ulists are not their friends.
Clay Center Dispatch (Pop): OF
course, as his opponents are claiming.
Governor Leedy should have arranged
to pay the Kansas volunteers for the
time between date Of leaving home and
mastering in. II his own salary wasn't
sufficient his credit Is good and he might
made the raise by borrowing. A
Governor hasn't much use for money
himself anyway.
Western School journal: What kind
OF man or woman should be elected
Lsch0ol] director? One having at least
q fair common-schOOl education, a
knowledge Of human nature, and Of the
ordinary forms Of parliamentary law.
He or she should be sound in Judgment,
tactful and masterful, even in temper,
firm and decisive in action, able to dis
tinguish between a true teacher and a
quack; between tlnsel show and ster-
ling worth.
Wichita Commoner (PoD.): Messrs
Stanley & Vermillion are attorneys for
the great Rock Island Railroad Com
pany that absorbed so many bonds that
Kansas people supposed they owned.
Do the corporations fight friends or en-
emies? Surely not their friends. The
interests Of corporations as rule, is
opposite that of the common people.
Then why should the masses vote with
all the corporations for Stanley? They
will never do It,
Lawrence World (Rep): Senator Har.
ris Is a patriot. He publicly admits his
doubt on a certain proposition but man
fully admits that In war times he be-
heves in giving the administration
every possible show. Senator Harris In
saying that has done more to endear
himself to the people at large than by
any other dozen things that he has
done. He shows himself great man, a
man for the moment in a trying posi-
tion. 1t is remarkable how the pat
riotism Of che country has been aroused
by this war
Westphalia Times (Dem): The Times
Is pleased to note the hearty and very
enthusiastic support the Democratic
press OF Kansas is giving to the State
ticket composed entirely Of the present
State officials, whose records as public
servants cannot honestly be assailed.
The list Of candidates found at the head
OF these columns are the regular Dem
ocratic nominees, and their names have
twice appeared under the Democratic
head In the administration of State
affairs many Of the Democratic ideas
have been made into law.
Council Grove Courler-G Guard (Pop).
The Leedy administration Is the best
Kansas ever had. It Is best for econ
omy, best for business and dispatch.
