Ex-Judge Hutchinson Here.

William E. Hutchinson, former judge
Of the Thirty-second judicial district,
who resigned to run against E. H. Mad
ison for congress- and whose successor
Is w. H. Thompson, Democrat, is in
Topeka today. "Will'' Thompson is a
former Topeka man. Judge Hutchinson
says Of him:
Thompson came out there to western
Kansas and brought with him all the
campaign methods of eastern Kansas.
He introduced into the campaign all the
ISLANDERS and muck that could be ae-
cumulated. and made his campaign on
the basis Of personal attack on his
opponent"
ThompsoH's friends insist that the
charges which he made against his op-
ponent. r. H. Hopkins. were true.
Third district. and c. E. Denton Of
Attica, the newly elected secretary of
state. both came to Topeka today.
An Echo of the Utah Campaign
". E Borah, who as a result of the
recent election of representatives to the
state legislature of Utah, viii be chO-
sen for United States senator from that
state, in place of Senator Dubois. is a
former Kansas man. He lived at Ly-
ons Kan, and attended Kansas uni
versity from 1889 to 1892, being a class
mate of Clyde Miller the secretary of
| the Republican state central commit
/ Theta Pi fraternity and after leaving
J Kansas was appointed United States
! district attorney III Utah.
His opponent, Dubois, made his fight
/ on the "anti-Mormon" issue, while
/ Borah adopted a more conservative at
/ titude toward the MormOns. Borah
+ however, Is not a member of the Nor
4 mon church. He got the Mormon sup
/ port because he didn't fight them as
! Dubois did.
The Resubmission Question
There is some talk among the Repub-
lican politicians about the possibility OF
a resubmission of the prohibitOry liquor
/ amendment to the voters of the state
| Some Of the Republicans think that by
resubmitting the amendment the bat
1 tie could be fought out fair and square
and probably result in taking the liquor
/ question out of politics, whichever way
/ 1t might go. If the amendment should
/ be defeated, the state would relapse
into local option. or something Of the
| sort while # it should be affirmed the
political parties would feel that it was
their wisest move to tie up to the pro
hibition proposition, and enforce thz
4 law. At least that is the way the poll
ticians argue.
The object of the politicians is merely
to get the question out Of politics. Il
IS too dangerous question to be in
jected into every campaign. The recen'
election has resulted in putting the Re
publicans in delicate position. Il
Governor Hoch enforces the law il
Leavenworth, Atchison, Bourbon, anC
/ other whisky counties, he will be goins
back on the very people who elected
him. If he does not enforce 1t, there
will be grounds for believing that he i.
not trying to do his duty, because tn
Kansas City situation has proven tha
the law can be enforced.
Mort Albaugh said this morning: 60
don't believe the Republican party vii
back up any resubnission movement
The prohibitory amendment is here t.
stay. and it would be unwise to meddl
with it."
