State Senate.
NEW ONE AS GOVERNOR
Sedgwick Paragraph Brings
Out Geo. w. kanayel.
c. A. Lewis Would Succeed Mr..
Haskell i'm Senate.

Hays B. White of Mankato, former
| state senator, will not be candidate for
congress in the Sixth district, as has
been reported, but will try to regain his
places as state senator from the Thirty
| third senatorial district, to succeed I. D.
Young of Beloit, who is in the congress
sional fight.
The Thirty-third district is composed
of Mitchell and Jewell counties, and is
represented in the senate by each coun-
ty alternately. 1t now being Jewell
county's turn to name the candidate,
the chances are very favorable to Mr..
White.
Hays B. White is a rich man, and has
made his money out of Kansas farms,
and the rise in the value of farming
land. He is now engaged in the con-
struction of an $4,000 residence in the
town of Mankato, where he expects to
live the rest of his life. He has retired
from active management of the farms
which he owns.
Mr. White preceded I. D. Young in
the state senate. He was counted as
one of the boss busters in the anti
Bailey uprising four years ago, but since
then has not been active in politics.
While in the senate he was for Curtis
for United States senator as opposed to
Long, and he has at times been men
nor. Once Mr.. White tried to get the
Republican nomination for congress in
the Sixth, but failed to cut in on Reed
er's strength. Mr.. White is the first
candidate to be mentioned for the state
senatorship in the Thirtyt-hird district.
In the Fortieth senatorial district,
composed Of Smith. Phillips and Morton
counties, it is now Phillips turn to name
the candidate for senator, and c. A.
T O17i1 fTaGl a "
yer, is mentioned for the place.
The senator from this district is now
W. H Haskell, of Smith county. war
den of the state penitentfary.
Andy Richards, in the Wellington
Mail, is one of the politicians of the
state who can see no good in the pros
pect of having T. d. Coburn Tor gov
ernor He says: THE Topeka news
papers have sprung F. D. Coburn
again as a candidate for governor.
Regularly every two years as long as
we can remember Coburn has been
suggested for governor and on one or
two occasions the microbe found lodg-
ment in his system and he became
candidate but never got anywhere
with it. Coburn is all right in his
present position but it is mighty
doubtful whether he could succeed in
any other"
George w. Kanavel. chairman of
the state board of railroad commits
sioners. is the latest candidate for
governor. The Sedgwick Paragraph
published at Mr.. Kanave's home, an
nounces that Mr.. Kanavel is the logi-
cal man for the place, and that he
would unite all factions of the party.
John J. Miller. of Santa Fe, repre-
sentative in the legislature from the
district, who is in To-
peka for an operation at one of the
Topeka hospitals. thinks that F. D.
Coburn would be the most popular
man that could be found in the state
for the Republican nomination for
governor.
Everybody would be for Coburn
for governor if he would consent to
rum" said Mr.. Miller.
Lawrence World: The Topeka Jour
nal has started a boom for F. d. Co
burn for governor. This will please
everybody in Kansas-except Mr.. Co
burn.
