THE ANIMus. AND INSPIRATION OF THE HocH
FIGHT.
The anmus the inspiration of fight being made
Governor Bailey fight for political pie 1t originally
started struggle for place. Hochs only grievance is
that another newspaper and not he. elected
state printer Hoch's howl that Baeys appointments
have been dictated by Leland is but another political pie
lie It fools people, but it fools nobody who knows
anything about state affairs Under the decision of the
Mary Elizabeth Lease the important appointiye
places hold good for four All of the supernteni
the institutions of all the important
boards other desirable appontive positions be
ing filled by Governor Staneys appointees. If Leland
had anything with naming these appoinees he dio
it through Stanley and not Bailey Bailey hao
very few places his disposal The blow of the Boss
Busters that Bailey unduly influenced by Leland
AIbaugh by any else, is but thinly disguised
falsehood reiterated wholly selfish purposes But
ceding for the sake of the argument Bailey
influenced by Leland when did it become political crime
for an official listen advice OF friends of honor
able friends who had themselves been charged
convicted of crime? If Elder Hoch the Methodist
leader should elected governor is there any
SO think that would consult the
Methodist preachers his other political supporters
and friends?
The Eagle desires nothing at the hands Governor
Bailey asking him for nothing is it expecting
thing, its editor having solicited Governor Bailey
for much promise and never rendered him his
friends advice when solicited all of which should
constitute least unprejudced Judge AS such
unhesitatngy declare that the fight being made Bailey
by that combination of soreheads and insists, calling
themselves BOSS Busters is unreasonable and
inexcusable war ever waged any public in the
history of the state.

farmers of the First district were bent nominating

into written agreement and pledge Far
Bailey would stand aside permit the Topeka

be nominated and without opposition. The To-
peka contingent its congressman went back their
pledge since which time who the politics
and the Republican party Of that town have fought Bailey
They have sought in many ways politically extermnae
him in the interest of their political pet In this
fight has been enlisted every aspiring politician unpro
yded for all of the insists who failed to sustain them
selves while in office and all of the soreheads who in be-
leving themselves entitled to Office have failed to land ii
position with their selfestmated import
In this fight against who probably never
did dishonest thing his ife against officer
