KANSAS COAMENT


Even the most enthusiastic parttsans
of Mr.. Winston Churchill could hardly
have expected that he would win the
Republican nomination for governor OF
New Hampshire in the face of the
strong opposition of the machine. Yet
the fact that he had 335 votes, or only
Sc less than the number necessary to
elect, on the Anal ballot, shows what
an impression his candidacy has made.
Mr.. Churchill Is no skilled politician,
and his experience in public life has
been brief. Furthermore. he had to con-
tend against the popular distrust Of
ssliterary feIlers.@ But he held out in
the balIoting longer than Mr.. Piilsbury
the other opponent OF the machine, and
he proved also a much more attractive
candidate than Mr.. Greenleaf. In the
nomination of Mr.. Floyd the machine
wins but by too narrow a margin to
afford much ground for congratulation.
And in any case the showing made by
Mr.. Churchill will be q warning to the
bosses not to be quite SO subservient 10
corporation domination hereafter-or, at
least, not to betray their subservience
so openly. Whether those who support
ed Mr.. Churchill will now rally with
enthusiasm to win a victory for the Re
pub1icans at the polls remains to be
seen.-Providence Journal.

is keeping up amazingly well, as there
are far less leaving school this spring
than ever have before.
The pupils have finished the severe
task of examination once more, on
Friday before last, and are all very
glad. Some good records were made
while others We're not SO good.
