Fred Jackson Gets Into Attorney
General Contest.
viii Be One of the Formidable
Candidates.
n INTERESTING FIGHT
Eastern Part of the State Has
Many Aspirants.
Democrats Want Plain Spoken
Platform.

Fred S. Jackson of Eureka, assist
ant attorney general Of the state, today
announced that he will be a candidate
for attorney general to succeed C G
Coleman. Mr.. Jackson was appointed
assistant by General Coleman at the
time Judge West resigned to become
assistant in the Office of District Attor-
ney H. J. Bone.
Mr.. Jackson will no doubt be a for
midable candidate. He is the fifth
man to enter the race. The others are
Sardius NJ. Brewster of Troy, oscar
Raines of Jefferson county, A. E.
Crane of Holton and NJ. A. Gorrill of
Douglas county. Jackson has been
looked upon as a possible candidate
ever since he accepted the office of as
sistant attorney general. He viii in all
prOba bility get strong support in the
Fourth district, and especially in
Greenwood county, which has never
been represented on the state ticket in
the history of the state. Jackson is a
native of Kansas. He is a graduate of
the Kansas university law school. He
served two terms as city attorney of
Eureka, and two terms as county at
tOrney of Greenwood county. He will
make his bid for nomination on the
ground of his Is years legal ex-
perIence, and the fact that he viii be
familiar with the duties Of the attor-
ney generals department. the cases
pending, and the general work of the
office by the time he would be elected.
The fight for the Republican nomi-
nation for attorney. general promises
to be one of the interesting features of
the coming campaign. Three of the
candidates now in the race are from
the First district, one from the second,
and one from the Fourth.
Jackson will doubtless find his chief
handicap in the fact that the Fourth
district already has four candidates
against whom there is not much con-
test. These are Hoch for governor,
Graves for justice, and Barnes for in
surance commissioner.
But the First district is also over
loaded with candidates. Brewster of
Troy has the support of Cyrus Leland,
and it is possible that Stubs may also
be driven to the support of Brewster.
Raines, of Jefferson county is clean,
able young man, but the politicians
don't think he viii be an important
factor in the race Crane of HOlton is
probably the most seasoned lawyer of
the lot, but there are a lot of elements
which will oppose Crane. The Curtis
faction has a grievance against him
In the clash between Brewster,
Crane and Raines there is a good
chance for them all to be cast aside.

While the Democratic leaders were
in the city this week, there was a good
deal of talk about what issues will be
included in the Democratic platform.
The Democrats will get the first
chance at platform making this year
and can preempt such vantage points
as they deem advisable
Judge Dale, candidate for governor
on the Democratic ticket last year.
SAYS; 81 am in favor of much the
same kind of a platform we had last
year. except that we should make an
emphatic declaration against the free
pass 1t is not necessary to say any
thing about the resubmission ques-
ton"
Col W. F. sapp says: I'VE should
declare for railroad regulation. If the
railroads are opposed to the policy of
giving free passes, as I believe they
are, we should declare against that
too. The question OF taxation should
be considered carefully. We should
make graft in state affairs one of our
issues. The Republicans admit that
they are $4,000 short in their ac-
counts We simply say Where is the
money! We make no charges. We
simply want to know who got the
money"
Taylor Riddle says: 1.-THE time has
come for the Democratic party to cut
loose from this resubmission milestone.
1t IS dragging us down. It is not a
| Democratic issue. We ought to get
/ back to first principles of Democracy.
The party is getting the credit of
Iespousing the cause Of the toughs and
buns, and the Republicans are getting
their votes The iointist element viii

side. A jointist has no more politics

This leaves the fight between Gorril
and Jackson
GorriIl occupies a peculiar position
in Second district affairs. It seems to
be bit uncertain who is backing his
candidacy. Some intimate that Gorrill
will get the support of the railroads,
and that he was brought out for the
purpose of centraiztng the railroad
support on some one man.
If the railroads are for Gorriu. it
would seem that in order to be con
sistent, Stubs would have to be
against him.
Whether this condition Of affairs
viii develop remains to be seen. Cor
rill has this in favor of him: that there
is only one candidate in the Second dis
trict. That one is Porter for justice Of
the supreme court

WEINGiRrNER Way RETURN.
Tho Conductor Released From His Contract
Under Conditions.

Waiter Damrosch told a Sun reporter
yesterday that the New York Symphony
Orchestra had OF as yet made any arrange
ments looking TO the m Engagement OF a con-
ductor to replace Felix Vein gartner, who
has notified the organization that illness
will make it impossible for him to return
here mex season.
Under the terms Of his contract Herr
Vein gartner was to return here for two
more years and receive &l2, 200 out OF q
guarantee fund Of $4,000 raised by Mrs.
Samuel Untermyer and other lovers Of
music. The rest Of this fund yer to Mr..
Damrosch and the New York Symphony
Orchestra.
The seer etary Of the society has been
directed to inform Mr.. Weingartner that
he will be released from his contract II his
health Is so bad that he cannot come here"
Mr.. Damrosch said yesterday, with che
condition that he shall come to the New
York Symphony Orchestra II he is ever
well enough to come to this country In the
futur g. Whenever he does come back
here it must be to fulfil his uncompleted
term Of three years with u.s."
This condition puts an end to the rtimors
that Mr.. Weingartner sought to rid himself
Of his local obligations in order to consider
an offer from the Boston Symphony Or
chestra. 1t is well kn own that the famous
German conductor met here With little
popular success and his tour with the or
chestra to Boston and other large cities
was q complete flnan cial failure.
Whether or not the society will bring
a foreign conductor here for its concerto
In place of Mr.. Weingartner has not been
settled" Mr.. Damrosoh said, and it may
be that the concerts will be given as they
were before Mr.. Weingartner was invited
to come here"

way of writing about the West

this delightful originality. This
time the author has written of the
Western land that he knows so.

mails the leading parts in the story.
Chatwit is a maybe who learns
"man-talk" wilhelm captivity, and
escapes to the wilds to astonish
birds and beasts alike with his
weird accomplishment. Mr.,
Mighels has given a human touch
to Chatwit that is inimitable and
truly humorous. Chatwit leads
a checkered life, matching his wit
and cunning against the forest
creatures who take league against
him because ofhis "supernatural''
powers. There are exciting times
in the woods, and the plots and
counterplots of the animals as
sumo a strangely human interest.
