PERHAPS.

G0VernOr Hoch Kicked OF IN The
Kansas-Washburn football game the
other day. He has certainly kicked off
in the great political game which is
beginning about now. Whether the
jointists will make a touchdown or not
remains to be seen. They have been
penalized quite heavily recently, but
unless the law and order element puts
up strong defense they may be able
to make gains through the line. The
prohibitionists have a Waterman on
the side lines so they should not lack
refreshing stimulus for their grueling
fight. The grand stands are filled with
thousands of people who as yet are
saying little, but when it is nearly time
for time to be called there will be
found plenty of good rooters who will
give their voices in a laundering cheer
for Governor Hoch as he carries the
lid over the jointist's goal line and puts
it down where it belongs. Lindsborg

1t is up to the Republicans of Kan
sas to take warning from the way Ohio
and other states turned down the Re-
publicanS at the late election, and see
that the state of Kansas does not fol-
low suit and do the same thing and
go down in defeat as the boss afflicted
states did at the election just passed.
If the readers Of the Republican re-
member, we said before the last Re
publican convention that it was the
wrong thing to do to nominate the
ticket that was nominated and we also
said that if after two years of the rule
that they would give US the Republi-
cans again put the same faction IN
power that ff would be a wonder if
the Democrats and Socialists did not
join issue and carry the state by
large majority and we see no reason to
change our opinion in the matter for
as we have said time and time again.
with the exception of the supreme
court and one or two others at the
state house, the whole push are as rot
ten as any crowd that ever disgraced
the Republican party in any state.
Kelly refunds the $4,000 that he took
out of the treasury as a pretext of pay
ing for bond; Stubs does all he can
to help his town beat the state school
fund out of 100000: Hoch winks at
all the crookedness and never says a
word. In our opinion there are thous-
ands of the voters of Kansas that be-
lieVe as we do, that Hoch appointed
the investigation expert with the IN
derstanding that Kelly was to have a
