WHO is STEVENS q?
Something About Congressman W.
A. Reeder's Opponent.

J. E. Stevens, the Cioodland man who
Is running for congress in the Sixth dis
trict against Congressman Reeder. is
commonly known as j Ed Stevens" in
pastor of the Christian churches at
GOOdland and Colby but is now post
master at Goodland. He was appointed
by Congressman Reeder abOut the time
Of the Wichita convention two years
ago. A GOodland papers publishes the
following about him:
Whether or not J. Ed Stevens is
nominated by the Republican party for
congress in the Sixth distict at Beloit,
February 20, he will still be the same
man as before-IoyaI, able, undaunted.
socially pleasant, upright and 4 credit
to the district.
THE candidate against Mr. Stevens is
w A Reeder of Logan, the present in
cumbent, who, on account Of his guar
antee' to the arid portions of his dis
trict to deluge the plains and make
them blossom as the rose, with water
from somewhere. no one knows, has
been dubbed Irrigation BIZ Reeder. To
the public mind, the one stands out in
an atmosphere Of dewy humOr, the
other with an ambition to offer the
Sixth district people a congressional ser
vice perhaps less poetic but more tan
gible.
THE convention will have at its dis
posal III votes. In a neck-and-neck
race, the lucky man could win out with
SO votes. Geographically the district is
large, and as the convention date IS so
early that counting of noses to see just
about how the matter stands, it would
be hard for either of the candidates to
figure out a close proportion.
Joe BurrOW, secretary of state, would
like to cavort into the place, but has
some Difference for the stout horns OF
Reeder. He is to ganbOl about the big
fellow. and in case Irrigation Bill cant
hold his ground, the secretary of state
will jump in with his crumpled horns
and push, too. This is figured out to be
the Reeder-BurrOw alliance against the
west end candidates.
But Mr.. Burrows political image,
with the people of Kansas, and espe-
nially with the Sixth district. is not
such a pretty thing as it was before the
equalization board unnecessarily in
creased the burden of state tax upon
all the counties of the state, possibly
with the exception OF the favored few
home counties which the venerable
members of this committee hailed from.
Mr.. Burrow is a member of tfis par
ticular board. With this in view Mr..
litical ally to take his form from off
his door-that he would be stronger
with less strength.
But back to Mr.. Stevens. At the
Norton convention in 1902, when Reeder
had to call out all his reserve energy
and pull wires until they were about to
break. Stevens name was mentioned
as possibly the one to be received in
case the factions went to pieces and
would have to agree upon neutral
Rnti-machine man. But the impending
crisis did not come, and Irrigation
Bill though his plug hat was a little

Republican City Committee Fixes
Short Hours for Primary.

A meeting of the Republican city
central committee will be held in the
old court House at 7:30 D. m. Monday,
February Is, the day on which entries
for the Republican primaries will be
closed. Entries are being made by tbs
candidates with H. Ward Page, on West
Sixth avenue. A meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee OF the central COM
mittee was held Monday afternoon to
prepare recommendations on campaign
ways and means. The executive COM
mittee will report back the following
rate of assessment for candidates.:
Councilmen, $50; members of the board
of education IS; members of the city
central committee. 50 cents. The ex-
ecutive committee VIII also recommend
that the hours of holding open the polls
at the city primaries on March 16 shall
be from / p. m. until p. m, instead of
from II a. m. until z. The committee
is trimming expenses, and by not open
ing the polls until after dinner will
save the expense of one meal. It is not
likely that judges and clerks on the
election boards will receive any sal
aries. although that has not been de-
termined. There will be a very light
vote and the Republican campaign
"fxers'' win probably secure boards by
promising positions on the city election
boards The officers at the city cleo
tons receive substantial remuneration,
and chance to sit on the city board
is regarded as desirable by many.
