POLITICAL GOSSIP
Governor HOch Doesn't Want to
Name a Senator.
Would Make Enemies and This
He Doesn't Like.
STUBBS NOT IN IT.
Friend of Governor Says Boss
Wouldn't Be Named.
HOch Wants to Go to the Senate
Himself.
sTUBBS NOT IN IT.

The last thing that Governor Hoch
desires to do is to appoint a new
United States senator in place of j.
Ralph Burton" said one of the cover
nor's close political friends yesterday
1T can be set down for certainty that
there is nothing which would please
Governor Hoch so much as to have T.
Ralph Burton keep up his fight until
the expiration of his term of Office"
In explanation of this statement
concerning the governors attitude, the
man said:
Governor Hoch has a number Of
friends who would want the appoint
ment if Burton should quit. To give
the place to any one of them would be
to turn all the others against him. The
result is that it would cost Hoch a lot
or friends to appoint a senator, and
Hoch is earnestly praying that he may
not be called upon to make such an
appointment
DO I think that Hoch is a candf-
date for United States senator himself?
DO not think there is a bit of doubt
that Governor HOchs would like to be
Jnlted states senator; I do not think
tnere IS any doubt that he is looking
with more favor upon the prospect
every day Not long ago. HOch had
about made up his mind that he would
stay out of the race entirely: he
thought that the governorship was
enough for him. Since then things
have been opening up before him in a
new light, and I feel sure that Hoch
would not run very fast If the senator
ship should take after him Tt would
be much easier for the Republicans to
make him a candidate for senator than
# was to make him a candidate for
governor"
Suppose the senate should throw
Burton out?" was suggested
Then the governor would have to

HooHs JOKE ON HIMSELF.
Governor Evidently Forgot to Get on
Train in Topeka.

Governor Hoch is telling a Joke on
himself; at least, there is reason to
suspect that It is on himself, as the
governor arrived Saturday at II o'clock
on a westbound Union Pacific train,
when he was supposed to be coming at
z o'clock from Junction City. The
governor says:
There was an old fellow on the
train coming down from Junction City
that amused me considerably. We left
Junction at 5 O'Clock, which was be-
fore those places which are said to
exist there were open for business.
This man am telling you about there
fore is likely to have been in a sober
state of mind. But he met q man
named Vincent on the train-Bishop
Vincent, who used to be here at To-
peka, and says that he became SO in
terested in conversation with the
bishop that he did not observe that
his train had reached Topeka. He
was carried right through Topeka,
clear to Lawrence, before he discovered
his mistake. At least that's what this
old chap says. The result was that he
had to take the next train back to To
peka from Lawrence. Now what do
you newspaper boys like best; oysters,
ice cream or cigars?''

BURTON TO FINISH
Laws Delays Will Give Him
Necessary Time.
Appeal Can't Be Heard Before
March, 1907.
ASPIRANTS PLEASED.
Only W. R. Stubbs Might Profit
by Senator's Removal.
Formal Announcement of Can
didates Limited to Campbell.

Washington, Dec. 2.=The general
feeling among Kansans and officials
and interested persons in Washington,
in the Burton case, seems to be that
whether the Kansas senator's appeal
goes to the United States circuit court
of. appeals or to the United States SUI
preme court, the delay in the ordinary
procedure will permit Senator Burton
to finish out his term of Office
In other words, pending the hearing
of the case on appeal, the fourth of
March, 1907, will come around. ana
Mr.. Burton's term will have elapsed in
a regular manner.
There is little probability that Sena-
tor Burton, even in this case, will have
any of the real participation in things
1t is not likely that he will enter upon
the floor of the senate. He has not
done this since his first Indictment IN
January, 1904. Nor is it probable that
there viii be much If anything IN the
way of official business that he viii
transact. For the past two years, Sen
ator Burton has had his rooms in the
senate annex, and his secretary, Col.
w ". Smith, with a stenographers has
transacted such work as there was
for his Office to do. Much of the cor
respondence has fallen away, part of 1t
going to members of the house of rep
resentatives; but the greater portion of
1t to the Office of Senator Long. 1t is
probable that Senator Burton will con-
tinue to occupy his rooms in the an
mex. and that such work as may come
TO him will be transacted, but nothing
Of an important official nature.
When Senator Burton's case had been
tried early in 1904 at st. Louis, before
Judge Adams Of the United States dis
triet court, which resulted in his first
conviction, he took an appeal at once
to the supreme court. The motion 60

asslduous in his labors, and, so his
friends say, with excellent results.
Mr.. Curtis has declared that this is no
time to announce senatorial aspirations,
and that there win be plenty Of opportu-
nifty later; but has not lost any time in
laying the groundwork for his ambition.
Mr. Bristow has been so busy remodel
ing his new home in Salina, and editing
his paper there, that, outside of making
number of speeches around the state, he
has not done much to cultivate his
sprouting senatorial boom1et. But it
is suspected that he win improve his time
from now on.
The campaign for the Burton success
sion is now on-not only in Kansas, but
IN Washington as well.

to name his successor, and he has Sc
leeted McGonigal for the place. John
@. Royce is not friend of McGonigal,
and is trying to stir up something to
! beat him.
There was a boom started some days
ago for Charles Lands of Osborne for
the Sixth district endorsement as secre-
tary of state. The Burrow people
charge this up to Royce. But it seems
that Lands has been sidetracked. He
comes out with a statement that he is
out of politics, and is busy attending to
his work as president of the First Ma
UOnal bank at Osborne.
It seems to be the general sentiment,
even in the Sixth district that Colonel
Mize viii have to stand aside in his race
for auditor. q. T. Fairchild stands a
good show for the Sixth district endorse
ment for superintendent of public IN
struction Mr. AIize, however. is keep
ing up a hard fight. Next Monday he
will leave Osborne on a tour of the
Union Pacific counties of his district.
Mr.. Mize feels very sanguine about his
chances.
According to a special act of congress.
Governor Hoch viii have 1,50O copies of
the ingalls, memorial book for free dis
tribution. The governors quota of
books have not yet arrived, though Sen
ator Long has mailed to each state Off
Ger q copy.
The book is a neat little cloth bound
volume, containing picture of the
Ingalls, statue which the state of Kan
sas purchased and placed in Statuary
hall, and all the proceedings and speech
es in congress relating to the
statue About twenty speeches
were made by members of the Kan
sas delegation and Othez friends of Sen
ator ingalls, at the time the statue was
unveiled.
The act provided that 1880 copies of
the book should be printed. 10000 for
the house OF representatives, 5000 for the
senate and /, 500 for the governor Of the
state.
There has been such a large de-
mand for copies Of the speech which
Governor Hoch delivered at the kan
sas city banquet on the subject,
ssThere's Nothing the Matter With
Kansas" that the governor has had
a few thousand copies printed, and is
sending them out to those who write
to him about it, or to those whom he
thinks would be interested.
People who heard this speech de-
clare that it was by far the best
speech the governor ever made.
Governor Hoch is improving as a
speech maker" said one of the state
officers the other day. He is getting
more polish and vigor than ever, and
speech making ability is one of the
things which is Turing him into the
senatorial campaign.
State Treasurer T. T. Kelly has an
n0unced his retirement from politics

ells prophecy; the man would not be
W. r. Stubs People who think that
Ross Stubs has 'einch' on that place
IN case an appointment becomes neces-
sary will be fooled. Stubs has not
been IN harmony with Hoch in num-
Der OF important matters which have
come up. While Hoch feels friendly
enough toward Stubs, he would not
give him the senatorial job, if I can
read the signs right
1t is said that if W. r. Stubs finds
he is not able to land a place In the
United States senate, he viii throw
his strength to Victor Murdoch.
Murdock is one of the new men in
the senatorial ring. He has been
coming to the front so rapidly that his
sep4torlal boom may be looked upon
as premature. Murdoch has the SEN
atorlal ambition, and has many friends
who are anxious to help him realize
that ambition.
Stubs perhaps wants to put Muir
dock in the senate in place of Chester
T. Long Long is not one of the
Stubs crowd.
Judge r. H. Madison of Dodge city
was in Topeka yesterday to attend to
some legal matters. In speaking of
political matters in the Big Seventh,
he said:
It have seen something in the pa
pers about new Long machine
which is being organized. This ma
ctnne SO far as We know out there in
the seventh district, exists wholly in
the imagination of the newspaper
men We have not seen anything to
indicate that there is q Long ma
chine and it rather looks as though
we would be likely to know something
bout it.
II do not know of any new candi-
dates for state Offices. In fact things
are very quiet Concerning the report
that Fitzgerald viii be a candidate for
lieutenant governor know nothing.

about Victor Murdock as a possible

Such action viii be perfectly satisfac-
tory to all candidates for the United
States senate to succeed Mr.. Burton,
unless it be w. r. Stubs. 1t is known
that Representative P p. Campbell, for
instance, who is one of the leadinv can
didates for Mr.. Burton'S seat; and J.
L. Bristow of Salina, who has not yet
announced his candidacy, but is gen
orally regarded as being strongly in the
race; and doubtless Charles Curtis, as
well. have but one fear for their re-
spective candidacieS-and that is that
the seat will become vacant before
March 4. 1907, and that. in such event,
Governor Hoch may appoint ". R.
Stubs While none of the three gen
tlemen mentioned would probably ad-
init that there is any particular ad-
vantage in being appointed senator for
a few months, and while none Of them
would hardly wish to De placed IN that
position, yet, with one accord, it is sus-
pected they fear a contingency which
would bring about the appointment OF
Mr.. Stubs, and the possible leverage
this would give him in the fight for
members of the legislature next year
and IN the contest before the legisla-
ture in January, 1907
So, among the leading candidates for
Mr. BurtOnS seat il may be said without
any fear Of contradiction, that they wish
Mr.. Burton no harm in his appeal; and
will be abundantly gratifed II the trial OF
much prior to the latter part of the year
1906 or the beginning of the year 1901
While specializing on the possibilities OF
the Burton succession, it has been sug-
gested that one fine way for Governor
Hoch, in case he is reelected governor
next year. to take action, if there should
be a senatorial vacancy about January I,
1907, would be 20 defer the matter until
the caucus has nominated Mr.. Burton S
successor. and then appoint him to serve
the brief time before March 4, 1907, when
the full term shall begin.
Mr. Campbell. who. by the way. is the
only aspirant for the senatorship who has
thus far reached Washington, is not say
ing anything about his ambition. He has
arrived here for the winters work in
congress, having put in his time to most
excellent advantage in Kansas during the
recess. While Mr. Curtis and Mr.. Scott
were in the Philippine islands, and Mr..
Bristow was concluding his work as spe-
ciaI Panama canal commissioner, and
later getting settled in his new home in
Salina: and Mr.. Stubs was engaged in
contracting and speculative pipe line
building. SIR Campbell was hard at work
in his senatorial foundation building. He
accepted every invitation he received dur
ing the summer and fail; and attended
college commandments. old soldiers re-
unions, old settlers meetings, plcnics,
lodge meetings and Wlhat-not. He was

Lawrence newspaper circles are con
siderably agitated by the story printed
exclusively in the State Journal con-
corning impending changes at that
town. Charley Finch of the Gazette
says that he knows all about what the
deal is, but won't tell. He follows it
up with this shot, which is evidently
intended to bring down w. r. Stubs:
1t looks as though there is some
thing doing in Lawrence newspaper
circles. The only trouble about is from
a newspaper standpoint is that when
ever a man buys a paper, he denies it.
We have been in the business here in
Lawrence for II years, II years today,
and never before suspected that there
was really anything disreputable in the
ownership of a newspaper, or that it was
necessary for a man to conceal the fact
of his ownership in order to stand well
in the community. But perhaps we are

Burton and the result was a hearing
in the highest court of the country in
what was a remarkably brief time for
that court. The court assumed juris-
diction, and remanded the case to the
court at st. Louis for retrial.
But this time, there will probably be
no effort made by Senator Burton to
have his case advanced in either the
circuit court of appeals or the supreme
court. Rather he viii be anxious to let
matters take their turn, and bring the
result nearer to March 4, 1907. when his
term as senator viii have expired.
