DAWES cR1r1czsEs STANLEY.
Says Ed. Little Ought to Have Been
Appointed Colonel of the
Twentieth

Ex-Attorney General F. B. Dawes,
who is now a member of the legislature
was on his way to the depot to take the
train to come to Topeka to intercede in
behalf of Ed Little for promotion in the
Twentieth when he received a telegram
that Major Metcalf had been appointed.
Il deteSt Ed Little'S politics." said
Mr.. Dawes discussing the matter, but
he should have been promoted to the
colonelcy of that regiment. Had 1 been
governor of the state 1 would not have
permitted politics to warp my better
judgment. Governor Leedy was big
enough to make Funston and Ed Lit
tie was responsible for it in a large
measure. I am exceedingly sorry that
politics interfered with the administra
ton of justice in dealing with the ap-
pointments in that regiment

LOYAL TO SPENCER.
Governor Stanley Decides to Retain
the State Oil Inspector.

Since the state oil inspector S. o.
Spencer, has turned into the state treas
ury 81 500 for the month of April, being
fees collected for that time, there has
been wonderful change of feeling to-
ward him on the part of the governor
and the state officers. Where they have
been pronouncing him unfit for the job
and the governor had considered his re-
moval from office, there are now words
of commendation of his work.
The governor says: Il believe the oil
companies were trying to get Spencer
removed because he was making them
obey the law. If this be true, I will
stand by him and help fight them.
These corporations must obey the law
The governor, however, qualified his
statement by saying: IF 1 find that
Spencer neglects his work and permits
oil and gasoline to go uninspected,
shall certainly remove him.
