ON THE INCREASE, SAYS WEST.
Prosecutions Do Not Stop the Sending
Of obscene and Threatening Letters.

There is n steady and decided increase
in the mailing of obscene and threatening
letters, says Judge J. S. West, assistant
United States district attorney.
Though precautions and complaints are
of az-common occurrence they have not
so far affected the public as to shut Off
repetitions Of the offense.
1T is astonishing to see the number. of
letters of this character that persist in
coming into this Office week after week"
said Judge West.
'One would think that after they hear
of the prosecutions that have been made
they would learn something but evident

learn anything because they are not

Rumor That He will Keep Out
of Senatorial Race.
Has PersistentIy Refused to Say
He Was a Candidate.
MAY NAME SENATOR.
Claimed That He Is Trying to
Control Votes.
Significant Statement Printed
in His Lawrence Paper.

w. r. Stubs is said to have a sur
prise UP his sleeve for the politicians.
The report is that he has no intention
of being a candidate for the Office of
United States senator to succeed A. w.
Benson. .
Stubs has refused. persistently and
consistently, to announce himself as a
candidate for the senate. though he
has not denied the reports that he. was
in the contest, and was lining UP his
forces. Both Stubbs and his friends
have rather encouraged the idea that
he would get into the fight at the
proper moment The thing that has
recently given rise to the suspicion
that Mr.. Stubs is playing a foxy
game is the absence Of any definite
statement concerning his candidacy.
1t seems to be the impression now
that Mr.. Stubs is playing his cards
for the purpose Of getting enough
votes in his control to name the SEN
ator at the coming Republican eau
Gus, but that he has no desire to land
the prize himself.
The Stubs plan. according to the
new idea of the situation is to secure
the enactment by the next legislature
of primary election law. under which
the United States senator will be
chosen by direct vote of the people.
Stubs will then go before the people
and fight it out with Senator Chester I.
Long. It would be a merry fight, with
the chances favoring Stubs.
Another thing which indicates that
Stubs is not going to be a candidate
for the United States senate this win
ter is the following statement which
appeared in the Lawrence World, a
paper which Stubs is supposed to use
as his organ"
1.-The railroad organs are very busy
fighting a windmill of their own con-
struction. They insist that w. r.
Stubs is going to sneak up on the leg
islature and try to capture the United
States senatorship- Mr.. Stubs has
never said he would be a candidate for
that position. If he had wanted to
make such an announcement he had
the opportunity of a lifetime last sum
mer, when things were framed up
right for him to get into the race. He
deliberately passed over the opportuni-
ty in order to devote his time to push
ing the Square Deal questions. We do
not believe that Stubs intends to get
into that race. but the way the railroad
organs are fighting the possibility or
him doing so is a high tribute to the
power of the man whom they claim to
think licked"
