The State Convention.

AS was expected Wichita secured
the state convention again. The date
set is March 9. An early date was de-
sired as Kansas wants to be among
the first to declare for Roosevelt and
the committee adopted resolution
endorsing him. AS for the resolution
every one favorS it, apparently even
the machine. AS for the early con-
veRtlon that is undoubtedly the prop
er plan as the machine had full con-
troll Of the committee and all OppoSi-
tlOn to it should be bucked and
Nagged for fear it might interfere in
be convention. Likewise the lOca-
ion is fortunate, for Wichita is one
the most centrally located and ac-

Unmaking a Statesman.

There was once young man who
went to Congress and was made by tle
newspaper correspondents-and then
unmade by the same power. He de-
livered a clever little maiden speech;
and as the correspondents rather liked
him, they featured" him in their de-
spatcheS. His pictures were printed
in most of the newspapers, and anec-
dotes of his early life appeared in
many journals. He was alluded to as
prospective Speaker of the House,
and it was generally agreed that he
would do great things-after he had
been elected for the second term.
One day, about midway of his first
term, correspondent called upon the
budding statesman. He was engaged
with some of his constituents from
away back; SO the newspaper man sent
in his card. When it was handed to
the embryo speaker his constituents
offered to excuse him.
"OhI no." he said, with affected
careleSSness, tits only one of those
penny.a-linerS outside; he can wait I'M
Til get reacy to see him"
Unfortunately for the Congressman
the door was ajar, and the correspond.
ent heard the sighting remark. Did
he swear or get angry? Oh! no. He
had met such men before. He hasten
ed back to his Office and that night
there was an informal meeting Of cor
respondents. The case was put before
them.

"Why, simply ignore him."
He was ignored. And his first term

Superintendent Dayhoff is very
unreasonable man to protest against

1t Is always a source Of pleasure to
belong to political organization
whose policies and actions can be
heartily endorsed in every detail and
particular. 1t is a greater pleasure
to know that that organization has
elected a set Of officers whose actions
and policies not only can be endorsed
but are credltabe to themselves and
the public But an organization or
set OF officers or candidates whose pol.
icles and action call fora continuation
Of apologies from its adherents, or
supporters Is unworthy and ought to
be defeated. Such Is the character Of
the machine and It's followers in Kan
sas politics, and such an aggregation
Is what has besmirched the republican
record and now threatens It's future
success In the state. The "vOte for
