WILL SPEAK OUT
Governor Stanley Not Satisfied on
Some Thing.

According to the Topeka Capital Gov
ernor Stanley is inclined 10 speak his
mind 1t says;
Governor Stanley has announced that
he will make a statement this week as to
whether he viii be a candidate for United
States senator. The statement is awaited
with considerable interest by politicians.
as it is thought possible that he may stir
up the animals a little bit. There is a
rumor out that Governor Stanley is not at
all satisfied with the senatorial situation
and feels hurt because number Of men
he has done favOrs for and given positions
have lined up against him. IN addition
there are others who encouraged him. it
is claimed. to get-into the race at first,
who have now dropped away.
Yes, I have been investigating the
senatorial situation carefully said Gov
ernor Stanley yesterday, in reply TO a
question. If go into the race I won't be
fooled as 70 who my friends are and who
are not l have found them out already.
Not long ago. If you remember. l sent
out letters to Republicans over the state
TO find out the sentiment regarding United
States senator. I quickly found the ques-
ton was not a matter of sentiment with
politicians.
THE line up, If 7 20 into the race. may
be a peculiar one. There are a number Of
men IN the Seventh and other districts In
the state. appointees OF mine. who one
would naturally suppose would support
me for United States senator. II I should
ask that favor at their hands, who VIII
be lined up against me. But then, poli-
tics maB-s strange bed fellows
But VIII you be a caudidateT was
asked.
Wen replied the governor, IL is not
safe 20 say that 7 VIII be. nor yet that
VIII not be. I VIII decide soon. however.
what I win do
THE general opinion. however, Is that
he VIII become candidate and Il is biat-
cd by some that his ahiliatious may Dc
somewhat different than has generally
been sunDoEel..
