Senator Nose Householder, who
has been a leading spirit of the Pop
list party ever since Its organization,
and a bitter enemy of the railroads,
has taken a good job with the M i.

alton for Lieutenant Governor to ac-

D. J. Hanna, Republican nominee

in the campaign, however. But he
will be in fine condition to resume
the duties Of lieutenant governor in
January
w Y Morgan, of Hutchinson, who
has earned something of a reputation
as a political prophet, predicts that
the total vote of all parties in Kansas
this year. will be 350,0UO. He esti-
mates that President Roosevelt will
receive 205, coo votes and that he will
have plurality of 10000. He does
not believe E w. Hoch's plurality
will be quite that large.
The Kansas coal miners know that
in President Roosevelt they have
friend. His settlement Of the anthra-
cite coal strike proved that. And
they will stand by a friend. They
also know that the Kansas Repubii-
cans have always given them all the
legislation they have asked for, and
they will stand by the republican
state ticket as they did two years
ago.
The reports from various parts OF
the state are that the Republican
meetings to date have been largely
attended. The apathy, it seems. is
all with the Den, ocrats. Republicans
are taking an interest in the campaign
and every one appears to be making
an effort to give the.t ticket as big
majority as possible. The Republi-
can school house meetings are espec-
tally successful.
The Republican campaign mana
gers have been fortunate in securing
good speakers for Kansas. Senator
Fairbanks. the nominee for vice presi-
dent; Secretary Shaw, Hepburn, Of
Iowa and Senator Mason already have
been here. while Uncle Joe" Cannon,
Senator Depew, Governor Cummings
and Senator Beverage and other not
ables are on the list for future SER
vice. Each is strong drawing card.
Judge Dale declares his confidence
