]. E. Cation, The expert accountant
| who devised the plan for a system of
accounting between tie various state
| offices, which plan was killed by orders
| of the senate locge and Tom Kelly af-
ter being dopted by the house of rep
resentatives, is in Topeka for a few
| Gays on business. Mr.. Cation probably
| knows more about the county and state
| bookkeeping systems Of kansas than
! any other man in Kansas. He is the
inventor of system of county book
| keeping which has been adopted in 43
! counties of the state.
Since the legislature" says Mr.. Ca
| ton, I have made contracts with seven
counties for the installation of my sys-
| tenn of books. This has taken me over
| the state considerably and 1 have had
an opportunity to gather some infor-
| inaticn about political conditions by in
quiIieS at first hand
1T is my opinion that If the Repub-
lican party has a primary next year.
w. r. Stubs will be nominated for
governor. The sentiment among the
re Ople n 0t in politics seems to be strong
for Stubbs Business men and farmers
who don't mix up with political af-
fairs see n to think that Stubs is the
man who represents the things the
people want.
L have heard Fitzgerald mentioned
considerably, but out there in his own
county there seems to be prejudice
|
it is doubtful whether Hornaday could
be elected in the present state of pub
lie sentiment. People seem I" lack con-
fidence in him. They don't know ex-
actly VIII ere he stands, and whether ne
VIII stay iE one place.
II look for a landslide to somebody
next year. EitI er the square. dealers
will sweep the state, or the machine
crowd Will come back into power on q
lot of the cquare deal issues. 1t is my |
idea that the great masses of the |
people of this state are going to be |
against any man whom the politicians
want, 1 don't care who that man is. |
The farmers will get together ana
whisper to each other that such-and- |
such a can 1idate is all right, and then
they will go and vote for that candl- |
date There IS mighty little talking be- |
ing done in a noisy way. People are
ii thinking things out for themselves, ana /
saying much I don't believe that any
bOdv knows fer sure what people want

]. T Moore, chairman of the Republi-
can state central committee, has an
nounced the selection of DIR. Geo. l.. Boon
of Chetopa to be the new memper OF the
Renublican state central committee rep
resenting the Tabette county judicial dis
trict The appointment was made by Mr.
Moore after con n;1itaee Dr. Gi'h Boom was
selected at the last meeting OF the Kan

He says that the people Oh ms e0g1ty gov

and watched his record in cubic life
mighty closely last winter He made
good with his old friends and made good
with many of those who, had opposed
him. don't know whether Fitzgerald
said that he does not But L repeat thao
we believe he would make a gooo oI i
truth"
The Atchison Globe says: A report was
circulated on the streets today that Shelf
field ingalls, had been offered the position
Of assistant attorney general e to see that nat
porter. Mr. ingalls, stated emoha tically
that the position had never been offered
him. and that under no circumstances
would he accept it if 1t were offered him
Furthermore, there is no occasion yet for
the appointment OF an ass1stant t adtorn niy
when the county attorney fails to enforce
the law. Since the state has called for
enforcement of the law, the county at
tornev. the sheriff. the mayor and chief
of police have all stated that they intend
saloons and there is to be none with
the saloons. It isn't Atchison s way The
saloon keeP s b, were Dd now that new
plan is to be tried. they Will be expected
to do their part toward keeping things
duct on their part will be strongly resent
ed by those who have been favor1ng well
regulated saloons
