is A BUSINESS NEED
That Wichita Should Have
the Governor.

H c. Hodges. Wichita manager for the
Western Grain and Storage company. with
office in the Zlmmerly block, is lifelong
Democrat and cast his first ballot for
Seymour and Blair.
Il have never voted for Republican

reporter for the Eagle, "and l DO not re-
member that 1 have ever voted for Re-
publican candidate for any state office, but
/ am going to vote for Mr.. Stanley"
Mr.. Hodges came from Anthony, Kan,
where he was IN the grain business. to
Wichita seven years ago. Here he has
built up a patronage all over Seds wick.
Sumner Kingman, Harper. Barber, Pratt
and Reno counties. Mr.. Hodges is well ac-
oauinted with the leading business men IN
all these counties.
~You think Mr.. Stanley Will be elected? ?"
he was asked
yes. sir. I have been all over south

a man can know before the ballots are
counted that he will carry the Seventh dis

leaders in all the parties and the general
sentiment is that Mr.. Stanley will be
elected"

needs the governor. 1t will help the town,

vote for Stanley on purely business
grounds. Then I know him. He is
straightforward and competent. That Is

WAVING EXEMPTION
Justice EnOch's New Interpretation
Of LAW

Justice Enoch yesterday decided upon
new question Of Kansas law in case
brought by J. H. Mccall. a farmer,
against Charles BeitzeE. Bethel leased
farm from Mccall and was sued for
rental payment. Mccall claimed that his
lease was in the nature Of a mortgage
and he could take Beitzelrs personal
property, the exemptions being waived
by Bethel in making the lease contract.
Judge Enoch decided that under the
law Of 1859 d married man may waive his
exemption and mortgage his personal
property without the signature Of his
wife; that is, in a tenant contract.
