Governor Hoch put in the whole
morning at Republican state head
quarters. When the returns were
coming in which indicated that he had
been elected. he said:
'Of course. I am surprised at the
closeness of the vote. but I realized
when I went into the campaign that
there were certain things which would
injure my chances. The negro ques-
ton. the railroad question and the pro-
! hibition question. all OF them thrust
into the campaign. cut both ways and
reduced my vote. In my own county
! Of Marion the heavy vote against me
was due to the court house difficulty
and part Of the county went almost
solid on that issue.
Il believe now that 7 will be re-
elected. but if I had been defeated,
would have been found standing by the
Republican party just the same
This has ben a campaign OF fakes
and Misrepresentation. A personal
/ fight has been directed against me
and all manner of misrepresentation oa
and abuse have been INDUCED in by
+ the opposition. Now flat il is over I
4 can say I have fought a good fight;
! have kept the faith The campaign
} has been hard one. and 7 have had
! surprisingly good audiences everywhere
I I have spoken
I am greatly surprised at Shawnee
county For thirty years I have been
befriending Topeka defending It
! against attacks. in the columns of my
! newspaper. and doing all I could for
/ the welfare Of the town This IS tn.
! way Shawnee and Topeka shows its
appreciation"
Asked whether the SenicentenniaI
! proposition would be likely to suffer as
a result of the attitude Of Topeka to-
ward the state administration, Cover
nor Hoch said.
