The State Campaign.

O.
With election less than a mont
away the Republicans Of Kansas hav'
a most cheering outlook for a sweep
ing state victory. The state ticket Il
somewhat unusually made up Of
second term candidates except the
nominee for governor and the fact
that none Of the Democratic candi-
dates except Mr.. Botkin for governor
is making semblance Of "a campaign
is evidence of the entire lack Of en-
thusiasm in the opposition party.
And Botkin is not running enough to
hurt. An affable, energetic gentle
man he 10 but as chief executive Of
the state he does not appeal to Kan
sans and the probabilities are that he
will run far behind Mr.. Bryan.
The Republican candidate for gov
ernor, W. r. Stubs, on which the
whole fight Of the state ticket is CEN
tered is making winning campaign.
Mr.. Stubs was not the choice Of
every Republican for the nomination,
neither was Mr.. Taft; but at the pri-
mAries he received the majority Of
the votes and he is entitled to the
support Of his party. 1t is probable
that not all he believes is favored by
every member Of his party but we do
not recall any candidate ever on earth
who had . monopoly Of perfection.
However, Mr.. Stubs is recognized as
. forceiul, able businessman, posi-
tive power in the party and be- will
make governor who will consider
his Office trust for all the people Of
Kansas. There Is neither good
politics nor good business sense In
falling to give him the hearty support
Of the entire party. A sweeping Re-
publican victory is needed for the
state ticket and the indications are
that such ia to be the outcome Of the
election.
SOMETHING more than personal in
clination goes to carry out political
campaign. Principles and ideas are
supreme; men are incidental. The !
Republican party Of Kansas has by
its vote expressed belief in certain
ideas, some Of them Of unques-
toned worth, all Of them in the J
line Of present day governmental 8
tendencies. On the platform stand o
the nominees OF the state ticket. Not
all in the primary campaign favored
all the things adOpted-but all are $
now for them, because the good Z

WAR BONDS NAY BECOME ISSUE
Alleged that Secretary Cortelyou Has
Postponed Redemption d Bonds.

Washington, July 30.-A new Is
sue may arise In the coming presi-
Dental campaign, owing to the Al
legged decision OF Secretary Cortei-
you to postpone the redemption OF
the 8 per cent Spanish war bonds
when they fall due day after tomor-
row. 1t Is stated on good authority
that Mr.. Cortelyou, for various reas-
ons, has decided to allow the oonds
to run ON for an indefinite period be-
fore redeeming them or refundinS
them into 2 per cent bonds. 1t is cer-
tain that such a course, II finally de-
cided upon, will result In a gooo
deal of criticism and that the oppon-
ents of the administration Will not
overlook the opportunity for making
political capital out OF 1t. 1t Is alleg-
ed on behalf OF Secretary Cortelyou
that the bonds cannot be refunded 10
good advantage at this time, and that
he does not consider 1t advisable TO
purchase them for the sinking fund.
There are about $65,000,0oO OF
the bonds outstanding, a total OF
nearly 5000. 100000 having been is
sued during the Spanish war to run
ten years. with the privilege OF be-
ing extended another ten years. Most
of the bonds are in the hands OF the
treasurer Of the United States In
tru't as security for the circulation

after August will necessitate the
payment OF close to 100000 .

cent bonds, which the secretary has
authority to do, the annual interest,"
charge would be 100000. PAID

1t is regarded as practically GER
tainty that the democratic campaign
management, probably Mr.. Bryan
himself, will criticise the failure to
pay OF the bonds, II they should be
left outstanding after August l..
Secretary Cortelyou's reasons for
delaying their purchase are said 70
be numerous, but the democratic
criticism will be based upon the plain
allegation that the government has
plenty Of cash on hand to pay them
of, thus retiring the bonded indebt-
edness, and that they are continued
for the benefit Of the national banks.
The working balance Of the treas
ury at this time is $64.000.000. That
is, the vaults contain that much
money, not in use, except to meet
daily expenditures, which are at
present largely In excess OF revenues.
The $64,ooo,000 will meet deficits
for many weeks to come, az we'll as
many months. But the treasury has
large available cash balance in ma
tional bank repositories. These In
stitutions now hold $138,777,462 of
government money. besides another
$4,000, 900 as balances for disburs-
ing officers The banks could be call
ed upon without serious detriment at
this time, it is pointed out, for suii-
cient money to pay OF the 8 per
cents II, refunding was not consider
ed
Every day the treasurer is max
ing advances out Of its cash to the
Panama canal, and 1t is simply q
question OF waiting for propituous
occasion before putting more Pana-
ma bonds upon the market to meet
the balance due and to provide funds
for continuing work.
