From Gambler TO Political Ross.

The Capital presents elsewhere the Ca
reer OF typica, sub-boss in politics. Af-
ter the election of President Mckinley il
became known that Andy Richards had
been promised the postoffice at Yelling
ton, where he publishes the Mail. The
indignation Of the community was so
general and so distinct in its terms and
uttersnces that he was not appointed.
The following year, 1898, at the state
election, Governor Stanley received in
Sumner county majority of 372. The
feeling was so strong against Chester I.
Long for his support of Richards that he
had only majority of I6, and last year
the republicans of the county disgusted
at the continued recognition of Richards
permitted the county to go over to the
opposition. The record is a plain one
and the remedy is equally obvious.
Here Is man who walked into the
county professional gambler, sentenced
IN the lower court as a vagrant, buying
newspaper and applying the bluff and
impudenCe and unscrupulous methods of
the gambling table to politics, succeeds
in becoming the recognized boss and dis
penser OF federal patronage in one of the
best counties in the state. This he could
not have accomplished if he had not
had the support of the Congressman
of his district and the state boss, Cv Le-
land. The fact that he has been i'm
peached in the district court there BY
people who have known him for twenty
years, that dozen or more of his fellow
citizens will swear in court that the,
would not believe him under oath doe,
not appear to disqualify him to represent
the Blossom House statesman. Tn,
charge by this fellow that the support o.
Mr.. Curtis is owing to his owning one
halt interest in the Capital only add
further proof that Richards is as his OLE
neighbors say "a born liar" Mr.. Curti

Capital at any time, and what is NOR,
never paid the paper in all the years i
has been his friend and supporter on,

also true of his predecessor in congress

to the republicans Of Kansas is that Mr.

pointment such a characterless fellow a

and hundreds of loyal, honorable, hard
