If there were no other reasons for
a change in the political complex
ion of the Official roster in the
United States and Kansas, the fact
that the old crowd of pap suckers
have been at it sufficiently long
would be ample reason. The gang
that has been in control of public
affairs for these many years have
concluded that they own the public
funds, are bosses Of the domain and
can parcel things out at their own
pleasure. 1t would be a nice thing
Tor the American people to let these
public leeChes understand that this
is still country of, for and by the
people.

The hope of the machine" in
the representative matter is that
Samuel Griffin has no remedy un-
der the law. They admit that
many legal votes were thrown out
but they claim that the primary
law provides no law in which a
contest in this particular case can
be conducted. But the opiuon of
a great many people is that Mr..
Griffin and his friends will find a
way.

An interesting article from Will
liam AllenWhite on Senator Long,
defeat is published on the first page
this week. The article states facts
SO far as it goes but it does not
state the whole truth. Senator
Long, it is true, does not represent
the Kansas idea but it is also true
that he is no different now in that
respect than he was when such
men as White were supporting
him. Senator Long is also in har-
mony with the republican national
platform, was one of the principal
trainers of the platform and mould
ed the ideas of Taft, Cannon, Sher-
man, and the great national lead
ers into words. Bristow and
Stubs, on the other hand, while
representing the idea, do not repre-
sent republicanism. They have adj
vanced with the times while the
republican party has not advanced.
When Senator Long stated in his
campaign that if La Toilette, Bris-
tow and Stubs are republicans, he
and Taft and Sherman are not, he
stated an absolute truth for the
two elements are farther apart than
the progressive republicans and
Bryan democrats are. A republi-
can who votes for Taft and Sher-
man and also for Stubs and Bris.
tow, has reached the climax of in
consistency.

Last January the Index predicted
that w. r. Stubs would shed his
horns and sprout wings in August
according to the columns of the re-
publican papers. The process has
begun. fyou don't believe it read
such papers as the Hutchinson
News, the Kingman Leader. Couri-
er and the Medicine Lodge Cresset.

There are objections to the pri-
mary law but last weeks perform
ances prove that a secret ballot
clause would make it no worse. If a
man chooses to vote republican
ticket or democratic ticket either
IN primary or a general election
there is only one way to prevent it,
and that is to completely disfran-
chise him.

There is now little doubt of the
nomination of Hon. D. Botkin as
the Democratic candidate for gov

1t is Zoe Bristow's turn to answer

1t IS Joe Bristow's turn to answer
questions now. During the nomi-
nation campaign he has been
putting questions to Senator
Long. Now Hugh Farrelly, demo
cratic candidate for senator, has
put twenty questions up to him
(Bristow.) The questions are fair,
vital and pertinent and Mr.. Bris-
tow should answer them.

The death of Senator Allison of To-

Gov. Cummins will yet land in the
U. 5. Senate-either that or the
election of a democrat, which

The machine republicans cis-
agree. Some say it was done by
democrats who voted the republi-
can ticket and others say it was
done by the old-time pops who re-
turned to the republicans. In Ell

the same.

Stubs majority in the state is
about 10000. Bristow's is about
5000. The republicans who are
dissatisfied will have an opportun-
ity to overcome both of these in
November.

If the republican party keeps on
creating new Offices it will not be
