s. l. Hale of Lacrosse, who represent
ed Rush county in the last legislature,
and who is candidate for reelection
on the fusion ticket this fall saws he
believes the fusionists will have a ma
Jority in the lower house of the next
legislature, and he has announced his
own candidacy for the speakership.
This, of course, includes Mr.. Hale's
confidence in his own reelection. The
Republicans have nominated against
him H w. Grass, a Lacrosse banker,
and one of the strongest men in the
county. Mr.. Grass is the man for whom
boom was started for the Republican
nomination for state treasurer against
t. T. Kelly early last spring, but who
backed out shortly before the state
convention.
Mr.. Grass is personally one of the
best friends have" said Mr. Hale last
night, land he is one of the strongest
men with the voters the Republicans
could have nominated, but l have made
the proposition out there that If 1 don't
get at least one hundred majority 1
don't want the office. In other words
will give the Republicans a hundred
votes to start with and still beat them.
From present indications 1 believe
the fusionists will have a majority in
the lower house. We will make big
The Republicans in many counties are
denouncing the last legislature and tell
ing the people that if they will only
send them back they won't do SO any
more. The fusionists are also der1ounc-
ing the last legislature for its extrava-
gance, but they are telling the people
that if they are sent back they will do
just as they have in the past. That's
the difference.
Yes, will be candidate for speak
er. expect to be elected and 1 expect
my party to have majority in the low
er house, so 1 see no reason why I
should not announce my candidacy
right away
Mr. Hale received the votes of the
Democrats and Populists in the last
legislature for speaker of the house.
AT that time it was simply an empty
honor.
The Democrats of Kansas City.
Kan, have asked Joseph W. Folk to
make a speech there before election.
The. Democratic congressional COM
ganized by electing Colonel Charles Nc
Crum of Garnett as chairman and AL
fred Bauer of Kansas City, Kan, as
secretary. Headquarters have been
opened in the Meriweather building in
Kansas City.
Chairman w. R. Stubbs of the Re-
publican state committee, has gone to
Chicago to confer with the leaders at
national headquarters. He is expected
home tomorrow
Rev. c. E. F. Smith of Butler county,
prohibition candidate for congress in
the Fourth district, did not get his
nomination papers filed with the secre-
tary of state in time, and consequently
his name will not be placed on the Off
cial ballot. The time limit for filing
nominations expired last Thursday, and
Mr.. Smiths papers just reached the
secretary's office Monday.
Congressman Curtis spoke at Holton
yesterday to a good sized crowd. He
devoted most of his time to the tariff,
although he made the same statement
that he has been making elsewhere in
the First district that he mad 81 uncon-
tested delegates in the Holton conven-
ton, or two more than a majority.
This is. of course, open to question. In
order to count 81 Mr. Curtis had to
count his Soldiers home delegates, and
right there was the rub. The Curtis
Soldiers home delegates were contested,
and contested hard. Mr.. Curtis also
made the statement that Cyrus Leland
and D. R. Anthony jr., came to him
just prior to the Holton convention
and offered to allow him to be NOM
mated by acclamation If he would see
that the anti-Walker delegation from
jackson county was seated, but he re-
fused.
