HOW DOES HOCH STAND
n. A. Richards Demands to Know
About Prohibition.

During the executive meeting of the
Republican committee A. a. Richards
of Wellington brought up the prohibi-
ton question, and wanted Mr.. Hoch
to declare himself son it. He said
there is a probability that otherwise
the liberal vote in his judicial district
would go to Judge Dale for governor.
w. r. Stubbs tried to head Richards
off by asking if the people down there
do not know that the county attorney
is supposed to look after the prohibi-
tory law and that the governor has
nothing to do with it.
They know answered Richards,
that the governor can appoint an as
sistant attorney general to enforce the
prohibitory law, and the liberal ele-
ment doesn't want anything of that
kind to happen down there.
Richards insisted that it would be
necessary for Mr.. Hoch to declare his
position and give assurances that he
would not make any special efforts to-
wards enforcing prohibition, or large
number of liberal Republicans would
vote for Dale.
Chairman Stubs asked Richards If
he wasn't recognized as the leader of
the crowd that was talking of bolung
in Sumner county, which Richards
denied. Stubs declared that it WASH
necessary for any special declaration
about prohibition, as the governor has
nothing to do with the enforcement
of prohibition.

will of the late Charles P. Dewey, of
Manhattan, Kas., who died in this
city about a month ago, disposing of

probably be contested by his daugh-
ter by a former wife, and his son
Chauncey, who was recently acquitted
on the charge of numbering the Ber-
rvs in western Kansas, growing out
of a ranch feud.
Chauncey Dewey and his sister have
just returned from abroad, and they
will be present at Chicago next week
when the will is offered for probate.
After substantial requests to his
nieces, Mrs. B. w. Peterson and Mrs.
Hullihen Quarter, of this city, and
Miss Alberta Hogg, of Washington, D.
c., Mr.. Dewey's will gives $4,000 to
his daughter. and provides that the
remainder of the estate be divided
equally between his son Chauncey and
his private secretary, Charles F. Kill
len of Chicago.
The will was executed few days
prior to the death and Mr.. Dewey's
secretary assisted in drawing it up.
The contest will be made on the
ground that Mr.. Dewey was in no
condition at the time to make a will.
