CALDERHEAD IS IN
Will Probably Take q Hand in
Senatorial Fight.
Now on His Way Home From
Washington.


Washington, Dec. 31--Those who have
not been figuring William A. Calderhead
as a senatorial candidate had better re-
wise their figures.
The Fifth district representative is
now On his way to Topeka, and when
he gets there he will carefully look over
the situation and will likely proceed to
get into the fight.
Mr. Calderhead left here with that
intention. He told several of his friends
before he left that while he would not
definitely state that he would be a can
didate, it was quite likely that he would
At any rate, the thought that there is
a possibility of himself entered Mr.
Calderhead's head and chung there so
persistently that he went home to KAN
sas to look into the matter.
There are about Is members of the
two houses from the Fifth district, In
the legislature. OF these, II Is known
that Mr.. Calderheads friends do not
concede anywhere near all OF them to
Joseph L. BristoW, the other Fifth dis
trict candidate. Indeed. they do not give
him more than four, or five at the most.
These are the Saline members, Mr.
Kirkland, and senator, Mr.. Quincy; Mr..
White of Ottawa; and Mr.. Frazier OF
Clay.
-Four years ago. Mr.. Calderhead
trict in nice shape until the contest
was over. When 1t was over. he made
the best speech made before the joint
assembly in the hall of the house Of
representatives.. He made an excellent
impression. His congressional course
has been a matter of considerable
qualification to him and mis- friends;
and it will be not at all strange If he
shall enter the race this time.
The departure of Mr. Calderhead
leaves OF the Kansas delegation, only
Senator Long and Represent
Reeder in Washington at present. The
others will probably stay at Topeka
until after the caucus.
Fifth district man, besides Mr.. Bristow
and Mr.. Calderhead, in the senatorial
race. before It is ended That man IS
William A Johnston, of Minneapolis. OF
tawa county. chief Justice CT the state
supreme court
While it is true that Justice Johnston's
own representative. j. T. White Of Ada,
has announced in the newspapers that he
will favor Mr.. Bristow, it is not alto
gether likely that he viii do so. Justice
Johnston has friends. also, it is being
who do not live in his district There
is quite a possibility of his having a good
sized bunch Of votes before the contest is
ended
Kansans in Washington. and officials
generally. are watching the senatorial
conflict with great interest. All the can
didates have friends here, and there Is
much discussion of the result Senators,
mem bers of congress, 3 officials in the de-
partments all ask Kansans daily for their
to the fact that all the candidates ex-
cept Mr.. Stubs and Senator Getty are
known here. Senator Benson has been
well-liked during his Few months OF ser
vice. Mr. Bristow was official here for
nearly nine years; and the Kansas house
members are all popular.
