What Dolliver Says.

I'm an interview to the State Jour-
nal. July 22.)
"I served with Long In the house
as we'll as in the senate, and had
an intimate acquaintance with
Bristow during his service in the
postoffice department. Both are
high class men and both have rem
dered the state good service. The
idea that either of them would be
unfaithful to the interests of the
people of Kansas is ridiculous
politics of the cheapest kind"
Senator Dolliver being asked
about Longs attitude toward the
Roosevelt administration said: 'I
reckon that no man in congress has
stood nearer to the president than
Senator Long. He was a constant
adviser and helper of the president
during the pendancy of the rate
bill. He was a student of the ques-
tion and the president gave him his
complete confidence
Eyes. Long votes against the La
Toilette amendments. 1t was the
presidents plan to exclude these
Amendments from the bill. If Long
is beaten, under the impression that
he was not "a good friend of the
rate legislation and a faithful sup
porter of the president. as well as

Senator Longs Position.

Kansas has a chance. Long has
made good with the Senate and the
administration. No one doubts his
ability to become one of the lead
ing Senators. He can be defeated
and a new Senator started on the
road. But that isn't good sense for
Kansas and the time has arrived
for Kansas to go to the front. Even
II Senator Longs opponent had
ability in legislative lines. he would
still. If elected, have TO serve an APP
premiership. Kansas would have
to go back to the last row for six
years more. The chance is present
ed to the Republicans of Kansas to
take a front rank in the Senate of
the United States and be a factor
in the administration of William H
Taft, or to break in a new Senator
and start all over again.
