GOVERNOR ROWLAND ILL.
Head of Leavenworth Soldiers Home
May Not Recover.

Leavenworth. Kan. July 30.-J- G.
Rowland, governor of the National Sol
diers' home here. is sick again, and this
time the physicians regard his chances
as almost hopeless. He is very low and
at the home his death is expected at
any time. Governor Rowland has not
been well for two years and during the
present year he has been forced to
abandon his duties most of the time.
During his illness affairs at the home
are looked after by Major Martin, treas
urer of the institution. 1t is believed
that Governor Rowland's successor will
be named by the national board of man
ayers at the annual meeting of the
body which will be held here next
month
Colonel Sidney Cooke of Harrington,
Kan. manager of the local branch and
president of the board of managers, is
said to favor Major Martin as Governor
Rowlands successor. and his recon-
mendation probably will be accepted by
the other members of the board. Col
onel u. b. Pearsall. commissary at the
home. is also a candidate for governor.
The selection of a governor always
arouses interest among the veterans. At
present they are clamoring for the ap-
pointment of Major Martin when death
or resignation takes Major Rowland out
of the position.

LANSDON is OUT.
Will Not Be a Candidate for
Congressman.
Will Be Satisfied With Seat in
State Senate.
HELPS ALIENS PLANS.
Succeeded in Effecting the Pc.
litical Compromise.
C. E. COry's Position Is Still an
Uncertainty.

w. c. Lansdon, editor of the Fort
Scott Monitor. and also professor in the
Fort Scott high school, has announced
in his paper that he will not be a can
didate for congressman. but that he
would like to go to the state senate.
H. j. Allen has been in the city of
Fort Scott recently, and it is the be-
lief of the politicians there that Allen
has succeeded in effecting a compro-
mise between the political factions
there and that Landsdon's withdrawal
from the contest means that Grant
Hornaday will also withdraw from the
race for state senator 1t is believed
that Charles E. Cory, who has been
mentioned for congress, will also drop
out of the fight and that the contest
for the Bourbon county delegation will
be between Allen and Bowersock. with
the advantage in favor of Allen. Grant
Hornaday has never cared greatly for
a place in the state senate and he is
willing to sacrifice this ambition to as
sist Allen, and now that Lansdon has
expressed a willingness to be satisfied
with the senatorship, the machinery of
the local organization will be with
Allen. If Cory persists in staying in
the race, Allen will have a harder fight
than he would against Congressman
RoWersocz.
Lansdon's statement in the Monitor
is as follows:
For a number of years my personal
and political friends in Bourbon county
and throughout the Second district have
from time to time urged me to become
candidate for congress. The newspa-
pers at home and in other towns have
kindly mentioned me as among those
fit to represent this constituency in
Washington.
Recently there have been many sug-
gestions that this would be a good time
and that that it would be a good thing
for me to try for the seat in congress
now so ably filled by the Hon. J. D.
Bowersock. After mature elaboration l
decided some time ago. and told many
friends that 1 would not be a candidate.
L have lived in this county for eigh-
teen years. 1 was born In Kansas. An
my life 1 have been a devoted Repub-
lican. and since. I came to Fort Scott
have always done everything in my
power to secure the success of my par
ty- I have never held a public office and
never but once appeared before the peo-
pie as an aspirant. While l now declare
that I am not to be considered for con-
gress, 1 will say to my friends through
out the city and county that 1 would be
proud to accept a nomination for stat.
senator at their hands if they should see
fit to confer that honor upon me at the
next Republican county convention.
