The calling Of the Republican State
Convention for March Alb means that
there will be some political activity
during the next two months. The
session Of the state central committee
was ample proof that there is no
material demand for the direct pri-
mary under the present primary laws
Of the,state and the committee showed
good sense In calling a convention In
stead Of nominating BY the other sys-
tenn.
The next state ticket will include q
denomination Of every state officer
except governor SO that the contest
really comes down to one over that
official. There are in the field several
very we'll qualified gentlemen who
would like to occupy the executive
mansion at Topeka, but not In many
years has there been such uncertainty
as to which one will be chosen.
Grant Hornaday might have been far
in the lead had he not given out his
primary letter in the face Of a long
history Of opposition to that measure
Stubs has announced that he is q
"passive" candidate, whatever that
may be. but that he really wants to
DO United States senator. With Mr..
Long and members Of the leading
square dealers working together 1t
does not look very favorable for
Stubs ever to land that office. Le'
land is also in the race but that does
not arouse any remarkable enthusiasm
among the people Of the state. So
that as 1t now stands there is doubt
as to whom will be the favorite.
Down at Topeka you hear a great
deal about Tom MCNeal as a compro-
mise candidate and 1t is probable that
q great deal more will be heard about
him later on. McNeal has made more
speeches In Kansas in the last two or
three years than any other Republic
can orator and he has in all those adj
dresses abused nobody and made
thousands happier. He has the re-
spect Of every person who knows him.
He has been capable and business
like state printer and his history is
one Of clean manliness. He is not
tied up to any faction or division OF
the Republican party but has been a
friend and helper Of all. Tom McNeal
would make a governor who would
reflect credit upon Kansas and II he
gets actively into the race the Others
may as well get ready to do harder
work than they are counting on at
this time.
1t is probable that the county dele
gates to other conventions will be
chosen at the same time as those for
the state convention, so that a great
deal Of political maneuvering will be
on the carpet at an early date.

union OPPOSES
RECIMENTALS
Question of Whether Soldiers Shall
Compete for Business in Spo-
kane Unsettled.

Spokane, May 3.-William II. Taft,
secretary of war, will be called upon
by representatives of the musicians
union of Spokane to decide the ques-
ton whether the regimental band,
now at Fort Wright, three miles west
of here, is to be permitted to compete
for business in this city. 1t is given
out that negotiations are under way
with the management of Natatorium
park, owned by the Washington
Water Power company. to engage
the band of % pieces for series of
summer concerts, thus shutting out
the local players. The union con-
tends that the army band should
confine itself to playing at the post,
where the Third regiment is sta
toned. This controversy raised the
old question of the competition of
army bands against civilian organiza-
tions, which has never been settled to
the satisfaction of either party. Rep
reSentatiVeS of the National Fedora
tion of Musicians have appeared be-
fore the war department in the inter-
est of bands in various parts of the
country. In some instances orders
have been issued recalling the army
bands, while in others the controver-
sy continued until the bandsmen
were removed to another post.

BRAINS AND HONESTY.

twater Republican-Press :
There never was more insult
ing issue injected into a political
campaign than the one used by
many Johnson supporters that
jacobson is too common a man
to fill the office Of governor with
credit to himself and state. It
is the argument of a lot of shall
lowpated individuals who meas
ure a man by the clothes he
wears and respect him according
to the airs he can put on. It is
the argument Of those who would
establish in this country class dis
tinction and caste wherein men
are measured by the wealth they
possess. It's a silly contemplate
argument and one of which any
one who is thoroughly American
would be ashamed. And still we
hear it in this campaign. What
we need in public office to-day is
not so much style and genteel
manners, but brains and honesty.
And when measured by this
standard Mr.. Jacobson will stand
in the front row Of the great men
of Minnesota.

servia May Be Forced to Make War
on Austria.
Paris, Oct. I.-Oficial advices re-
eeived in Paris indicate very great
degree of popular excitement in Ser
vita. Further mobilization orders have
been issued and the reserves called to
the eolors are said to be $4,000. It is
feared that the Belgrade government,
In order to save itself, will be driven
to embark on a desperate adventure
against Austria-Hungary.
It has not yet been decided which
power will take the formal initiative
In inviting the powers to a conference
to consider revision of the Berlin
peace treaty, or whether the invita-
tion will be sent out jointly by France,
Great Britain and Russia. M. Iswol-
sky, the Russian minister of foreign
affairs, will leave here Friday for Lon
don to take up this matter. The dip
lomatic situation is briefly as follows:
Turkey has virtually agreed to re-
| frain from final measures against Bull
garia and Austria-Hungary pending &C.
ton by the powers. In the meantime
the cabinets of Paris, London and St.
Petersburg are engaged in efforts to
formulate programme for submission
to the powers along with the invita-
lions to the conference. Certain diff
0ulties, especially on the side of Rus
STA, who desires latitude for compen-
satory advantages, principally the
question Of the passage Of the OAR
danelles, are intimated, but it is
thought that these can be adjusted.
