The story of Edith Simmons, who as
a child lived near Perrv. Kan. is indeed
a succession of romances and adventure.
Married while little more than child

she soon tired of the quiet rural life
and set out to have some excitement. As
a student at Lindsborg Bethany col
lege she passed herself off as the single
daughter of Major William Sims of

guise she became engaged to two or
three different men and finally married
a travelling man named Elliott at Man

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Will "Doc" Newman Retire From
Auditor Race?
Reported That Compromise Is to
Be Made.
WILL GET GOOD PLACE
RumOr Says It Is That of
Assistant Postmaster.
Three Aspirants for the Shawnee
County Delegation.

It is reported on the political bourse
that Doc" Newman, of Shawnee coun-
ty, is likely to retire from the race
which he is making for the Republican
nomination for state auditor, and accept
the job of assistant postmaster of To-
peka instead. An arrangement of this
sort is likely to be brought about IS
soon as Congressman Charles Curtis re-
turns from Washington the latter part
of next week.
It is looked upon by the local polite
ians as incumbent upon Congressman
Curtis to step in and take Newman
out of the race. in the interests of his
candidacy for United States senator.
Curtis, upon his return, will find that
Newman has been making trouble for
him. The report is that Newman has
started out to get the Shawnee county
delegation solid in his support. and is
willing to sacrifice Tom A1cNeaI's can
didacy for state printer to accomplish
this end
This report may not be true, but it has
served to stir uD the animals in Shaw
nee county. Mr.. Newman and the
county machine" would be likely to
have some rough shedding in case they

might make serious trouble.
It is this danger of stirring up a bit
ter fight in the Republican ranks that
is regarded as certain to bring about
the interference of Congressman Cur
tbs. Curtis can not take the chance Of
losing Shawnee county, and it is going
to be placed squarely on his shoulders
IN case Newman carries out his threat to
down NcNea1 and West at any cost.
There seems to be a good deal. Of
doubt in the minds of Shawnee county
Republicans as to whether or not New
man is making his fight in good faith
Some think that his determination to
control the Shawnee delegation abso-
lutely is merely the ruse for getting a
delegation which can be used against
Hoch, and form the nucleus of an
anti-Hoch movement. The court house

The STcNeaI-West Combine.


Circumstances are such that while
the nomination of Newman would
mean the elimination of McNeal and
West, the nomination of McNeal would
not interfere materially with Vests
chances.
West is in the race for attorney gen
eral to stay regardless of what hap
pens between NcNeal and Newman
West figures that he will get a strong
support from the state at large, ane
does not care to pose as Shawnee
county candidate. He has lived here
a comparatively short time and the
county is under no special obligation
to him. West recognizes frankly thai
MeNeal has first claim on the Shawnee
county delegation and will make no
fight for control. But he also recog-
nizes that NeWman'S nomination would
eliminate him, for the convention
would not put two shawnee county
men on the executive council.
Conse0uently McNeal and West. are
practically thrown into a combination.
If McNeal is given control of the
Shawnee county delegation, he Will
elect men not only favorable to him
self but favorable to West VESTS
chances seem to be improving right
along, for so far there is no candidate
announced against him. He has done
very important work IN the attorney
generals Office under both the Cod
ard and Coleman administrations.
If Newman should refuse to with
draw from the race for state auditor
at the request of Congressman Curtis,
there would certainly be big fight
between himself and McNeal for the
control of the Shawnee county delega-
ton in which the whole strength of
the Republican machine In shawnee
county would be thrown in favor of
Newman for it must be admitted also
that Newman is a fighter and has

what Is Newn1an's Game?


still hunt in the various counties of
the state.
What Is Newman's Game?
If Newman's candidacy is merely a
rUse to enable the machine in Shawnee
county to send an antf-Aoch delegation
to the state convention, it is easy to
understand why Newman is so willing
to sacrifice A1cNeaI and West
On the other hand, if Newman is
really in the race to win-and it is gen
orally believed that when he entered, at
least, that was his idea-the county is
confronted. with the fact that while he
might be able to control the Shawnee
county delegation, there would be small
show of his nomination by the conven-
ton. He is a power in Shawnee county
politics, but does not seem to be de-
veloping much strength out over the
state.
If Newman should win, and be nom
mated for state auditor, McNeal and
West would be beaten.
But even if Newman should get the
Shawnee county delegation, and use it
in good faith for his own nomination,
whether he would win or lose, the del
egates would give NcNeal the place of
state printer. NcNea1 has big follow
ing throughout the state, and it is high
ly improbable that he would be turned
down, even though he did not have the
Shawnee county delegation to trade
upon.
