/ interested are as busy as any state poll
tan in either party could be and evil
IDENTIFY much work is being done.
The Offices to be filed and the present

D. c. Tlotson Of Topeka; state clerk.

! aminer. DR.. z. 2. Jones, Kansas City,
/ Kan.
There are numerous candidates for the
positions and the fight for two Of the
places-state consul and medical exam
( iner-wiIl be holly contested. From
what can be learned the chances are
that J. N. Doyle viii be a hard man to
beat for the position Of state consul His
friends are pushing the matter hard and
he viii make it warm for his opponents.
Medical Examiner Contest.
The medical examiner contest has
broadened more than any Of the other
fights with the exception Of the one
started by Johnson and his men. There
are many candidates for this position.
Almost every physician who is prominent
in the order has an opportunity Of going
into the race as far as endorsement Of
the respective camps are concerned.
As is wen known. DR.. Cave is a can
didate for the position. His chances are
very favorable. and last night at the
Carey the Wichita man was mingling
with his forces preparing for the fray Of
tomorrow. The sentiment Gems to be
that Wichita should have the medical
examiner. If this impression keeps up
until the examiner fight comes up the
wichita physician viii have a much bet
ter opportunity Of landing the plum. The
position IS lucrative one and any ply
stefan would feel hOnored to have It.
The friends Of DR.. Jones, the present !
incumbent Of the Office. are working to
re-elect him to that position. His forces (
are not small. Toy any means but the fact +
that ne has had the Office once seems to (
be rather against him Woodmen as a +
general thing have the idea if the place
is a good thing that it should be passed .
around.
Tn importance the sessions Of today will .
outclass former sessions and the outcome .
of the work here viii be closely looked /.
for by all Woodmen over the state.
