CALDERHEAD'S WAY.
Nobody Appears to Oppose Him
For Nomination.

Every Republican congressional con-
vention in Kansas has been called ex-
cept in the Fifth district, and the Fifth
district congressional committee will
meet at Manhattan tomorrow to 4X
the date and place for that convention.
Congressman Calderhead will prob
ably be renominated by acclamation-
There is an undercurrent of dissatisfac-
ton with Mr.. Calderhead in some local
tiles, but it is not pronounced enough to
make him any trouble this year. If
the convention were three or four
months away there might be sufficient
time for the dissatisfaction to become
organized and break out, but if the con-
Vention is held within a few weeks, as
it proba bly, will be, there will be no
opposition to Mr. CaIderhead-
Calderhead is different from the aver
age politician He is not mixer, .
shows scant courtesy them when
they want talk with him about mat

very pronounced in his beliefs, and

One of the csteF6Sl;trageous crimes

recorded right here,,' et'the residence

The plan was deliberately laid and
so farvas the prelimlnaries III con-

purpose failed. The criminal carried
with him some combustible material,
placed it at the head of the stairway
at a point where it could hardly be
discovered, added to it th~e@stutfing of
some old upholstered furniture, and
set it on fire. Attic time four little

1t has recently been shown that
the defendants of one female criminal
who died in this country in 1927
numbered 800, of whom 700 have
been convicted of crimes and misde-
meanors and of these 81 were con-
victed OF murder. The list included
342 druukards and 1877 immoral
women, and the cost to the public
for trials, etc, has been more than
$1,000, 900. These are startling

as notable, though not traced.

Strong and logical and convincing

A little after 2 o'clock as Mr.. Travis
closed his speech the crowd was invited

it was the general opinion of all present
that the independents will hardly have
one left in R0seneath to tell the tale
OF their grievance on election day.
