When the Katy scandal was new.
Governor Hoch and his anagers
tried to ignore it. Then they tried
to laugh at it. Now they are try
ing to explain it. Governor Hoch
takes about 80 minutes time in his
regular campaign speech to tell how
it happened. He makes the as
sertion that nobody will lose a pen
ny in the suit, but he fails to tell
who will pay the 50 million dollars
demanded, if the Katy should win.
He says that the Katy had a right
in court, and he simply acted in
interest of fair play. Every mem
Der of the present delegation in con-
gress, with the exception of the
new man, Murdoch, voted against
the Katy graft, on the ground that
the railroads claim was not Just.
There was no way for the Katy to
get into court except by the use of
the name of a sovereign state. Gov.
Stanley stood between the Katy
and the people, and told the roads
attorneys that the name of the great
state of Kansas should not be used
for any such purpose. Governor
Bailey also refused to hook up for
the Katy. Then came Hoch who
ordered his attorney general to
chase OFT to Washington at the
states expense, and bring a suit
against the government for so mil
hon dollars. His explanations
don't explain.
