Dean. Probate Judge W. F. Hoch, .. Z
billings Postmaster S. l.. Brings OF
Marion. and W II. Carpenter, much
talked of candidate for district judge IN
tbat county. This crowd marched up 10
the Carey hote., where they stopped ana
immediately went into executive session
~ Man their work for the pressing OF me
recommendation Of their candidate W. v

committee. for the appointment or state
insurance commissioner. The Delegation
managed 10 call on the governor-elect IN
a body They had lengthy interview
with him and returned 10 the hotel TO talk
over the results and compare notes. Dur
ing this consultation Representative-elect
Burkholder held a long conversation with
James II. Bradley, banker Of Sedan, Kan.
It was afterwards learned that they were
discussing the merits Of a bill which has
been prepared for introduction in the next
legislature. affecting banking laws and
more especially in the interest of state
bank depositors. Representative Burk-
holder said:
THE bill will give projection to deposit
ors and at the same time revert in the end
TO some advantage and security 70 the
banks In the state" He added, ''the OBJ
3ect of the bill is to make the state banks
of Kansas as solid as the rock Of ages.
Representaxive-elect J. X. Tulloss from
ChautauQua county, was with J. II. Brad
ley His political mission is in the inter-
est Of a candidate for sanitary inspector
on the live stock board and another candi-
date for state grain Inspector One or the
other is their claim. both if they can sue
ceed in landing them.
S. o. Spencer Of Fort Scott, was here.
He is backed by T. c. Raney of Fort
Scott Monitor and railroad superintend-
ents Of four roads; also four labor organi-
cations. The appointment he is working
for is that of coal oil inspector. He makes
the claim that he is the only candidate
for office in the Second district.
Another delegation headed by Colonel T.
W. Eckert also C. H. Fem and Repre-
sentative-elect A. II. Adams. bobbed up
with a Cowley county aspirant for an APP
pointment. They were not very talkative
and went home with the results of their
mission laid secretly away to await the
announcement of the governors selections.
1t was pretty well known that their man
was Bruce Carey Tor labor commissioner.
Rumor has it that Judge Pollock has not
fed any Endorsements or an application
for appointment to the office of insurance
commissioner which would make Carey s
chances quite brilliant if it were not for
complications caused by the candidacy of
ID. j. Buckley for grain inspector from
the Same location.
There was a delegation from Wilson

IS unknown. They seemed to be for no one
in particular but were anti on every propo-
