William Newlin of Hutchinon and
Carr Taylor of the same place came to
Topeka Tuesday, and the story at once
became current that Newlin is the man
whom the Stubbs people are plannine
to put into the race for state audiLo OF
against James M. Nation.
Mr.. Newlin laughed at the story that
he would reenter politics. 81 have nc
intention whatever" said he, "of run
ming for any office. I have had my
day and am done with the game fol
good. 1 wouldn't leave my family and
home for any old office the state would
OFFER
Some time ago there was talk thai
Newlin would be much pleased to rur
. for state auditor, but he insisted from
the first that he would not be can
didate.
. Mr.. Dolley declined to discuss tn,
, question of Newlin's candidacy.
Mr. Newlin and Mr. Taylor stated
emphatically that Stubs and Bristo9
I will carry Reno county. They sait
that these two would carry Hutchin
son city about 2 to 1. and Reno coun
ty outside of Hutchinson to 1.

Nation in the row with ]. n. Dolley
Y about the alleged assistance given by
: Mr.. Nations office to the Leland cam
paign. 1t says:
"It would appear that no mattel
thow efficient Nation has been as. stat,
auditor, he should be turned out o
office because one of his clerks
chooses to be for Leland rather thai
, for Stubbs. We wonder If Stubs
tried to coerce his large number o
employees when he was railroad con
tractor. This incident would indicat
: that he believes an emp1oye shoult
be politically subservient to the EN-
4 ployer-a most miserable doctrine
: According to the Capital article Ma
