POLITICAL GOSSIP
Miller Boom Seems to Have
Been Mislaid.
Nothing Has Been Heard OF liz
for Several Days.
HOME RULE SUSPENDS
Ex-senator BurtOn's Paper
Gives Up Ghost.
Some Good Things Said for
Governor HOch.
HOME RULE SUSPENDS

A
POUND

There has not much been heard of
H B. Miller and his boom for COVER
nor during the past few days, and 1t
is not known whether the bud has
been nipped by the April frosts, or
whether it is merely being held back
to wait for more encouraging weather.
People who circulate around the
Copeland considerable express the
opinion that it would have been better
for Miller if he had come out a week
ago, if he is coming out at all, while
the sentiment was stirred up consid-
erably and everybody had their eyes
on him. Now that the thing has been
allowed to drift along, the contention
is that the Miller talk has cooled off,
and that it will be hard to heat it up
again.
There are a lot of newspapers in the
state who are ready and willing to
rush to the support of Miller the min
ute he says he is in the race. The
newspaper support which has come to
Cyrus Leland is limited, and while
many papers are unfriendly to Stubs,
and do not hesitate to say so, they
have not taken up with the Leland
boom. They seem to be waiting for
another candidate, and Miller would
probably fill the bill.
Miller would cut into Stubs Fourth
district strength considerably but
aside from that district, it is not likely
that he would hurt the Lawrence man
much. He would get a lot of ina
chine" votes which would otherwise
er he could break the solid Stubs
strength in the Second, Fifth, Sixth
and Eighth districts.
The plan of campaign which seems
to have been mapped out against
Stubs is to bring out a lot of candi-
dates in various parts of the state and
cut the Stubs strength to pieces in as
many localities as possible in the hope
of allowing some other candidate tc
ride in. But the trouble with this plar
seems to be that there is no one who
wants to get in and help do the cut
ting on the slender prospect of beins
nominated.
W. r. Stubs is down in the enemy
country this week. He has a string o
speaking dates in the Seventh district
Last night he was at Hutchinson an,
reports from there are to the effect tina
he had a big audience.
Mr.. Stubs will have considerabl
strength in the Seventh district, an
the probability is that ]. L. Bristov
will have even more. The friends O
Bristow are expecting to take eight O
ten counties in the Seventh distric
away from Senator Long.
The strongest Long and nti-Stubh
district in the state is the Third. an
1t is doubtful whether either Stubbs @
Bristow can make any Roadway dow
there, If the people vote like they tall
Long will probably get it back o
Bristow for poaching on the Sevent
district by taking six or seven cour
ties away from him in the Fifth an
Sixth districts, which are supposed I
be Bristow territory.
The Bristow campaign is receivin
much more general support from til
Kansas newspapers than anybody ar
ticipated 1t would, and this cordial er
dorsement is causing the Long mar
ayers considerable worry. The allegs

ton that Mr.. Bristow is too cold'' to
be a popular candidate seems to have
been disproved.
The Leavenworth Times, which is
jabbing Attorney General Jackson
about trusts for the alleged purpose OF
making him quit fighting Leavenworth
Joints. says: The last issue of the
Broadway magazine has a picture Oh
Attorney General Jackson Of Kansas
whom it introduces as a foe to trusts
and combinations. There are any num-
Der of Kansans who will be pleased to
learn that their attorney general is
preparing to appear in this new role"
Now that Governor Hoch is about
to quit the office of governor, and
has practically decided to stay out of
the senatorial fight, and there is no
occasion for saying mean things about
him any more, the newspapers are be-
ginning to write testimonials for his
administration. 1t is almost as bad
for newspapers to print good things
about a politician as it is for them
to print an obituary notice for some
body else. The Lawrence Gazette
says:
at is said that Governor Hoch will
go out of office with more money
than he had when he went in. This
is a compliment to Governor Hoch;
TO some executives 1t WOulu De Tic
opposite. But whatever may have
been said of Governor Hoch, no mat
ter whether it was said by friend or
enemy within or without the party,
no one has accused him of taking a
dollar to which he was not legally
entitled His record is clean and
clear, free from graft and Doodle, and
no honest man can say that he ever
took anything to which he was not
entitled"
And the Leavenworth Times fol-
lows it up with this:
Governor Hoch in his zeal to
serve the people has urged certain
reforms and certain experiments that
the test of argument showed to be
impracticable. He has not always
been right, and he has not always
been wrong. His course has been
dictated in every instance by his own
judgment, entirely independent of in
f1uence of any sort. His has been a
clean administration, not only in the
conduct of affairs directly from the
governors office, but in the state in
stitutions for whose management he
is responsible, since it was he who
selected the men to be placed in au-
thority in them"
J. r. Burton's paper, the Home
Rule" has suspended publication. This
paper was published at Abilene, and
has been in existence about a year. II
has been gradually dwindling in size
! and has been entirely lacking in ad-
| vertising support. The unexpired sub
| scriptions of the Home Rule will be
| filled out with the Salina Union, pa
per which Mr.. Burton has purchased
| and converted into a Democratic or
gan, and through which he will air his
| special brand of politics.

Financial Legislation.
The question of financial legislation
is now receiving such attention in both
houses that we have a right to expect
action before the close of the session.
1t is urgently necessary that there
should be such action. Moreover, action
should be taken to establish postal saw

The Leap Year club, composed of
three crippled beggars and three able
bodied Migrants, made it's appearance
before Judge Uru1y in police court
last evening and pleaded guilty to
disturbing the nefghborhood on East
Third street by riotous conduct while
engaged in an all-night drinkfest at
the shack the president of the club
had rented for headquarters The
Judge talked to them and they wilted
like tomato plants in July drouth.
Two were from Colorado, one was
from Mississippi, one hailed from
the new state and the last honored
Kansas by giving this state as his
place of residence. They were all
looking earnestly for work, and the
judge gratified their desires He gave
them $40 apiece and permission to
work it out on the rock pile. The
judge joked little with this Leap
Year club. The man from Colorado
was just passing through. Under
he had been two months in passing
from Colorado to Topeka. .'It will
take you just twenty days longer to
pass through Topeka" said the
Judge. The Kansas man had worked
in the canning department of pack
ing house. you got canned, did
your" said the Judge well. I will
can you again" Two of the cripples

tence on the promise to leave town

| stumped north on Jackson street at
| rate that promised to put them well

f. G. Walker Not So Innocent
After All.
officers Say He Has Served
Time in Prison.
WOMAN NOT HIS WIFE.
She Finally Admitted Being His
Sister-in-Law.
Members of leap Year Club
Harshly Treated.
WOMAN NOT HIS WIFE.

+. G. Walker, the penitent boy who
stole SIS from his employer in Kan
sas City last week and who was cap
tured here Monday evening by local
officers and held until the Missouri
officials could come and take him
back for trial. is not quite such an
innocent man as he made the officers
here believe yesterday morning.
Word from Kansas City yesterday af-
ternoon was to the effect that the
woman with Walker is not his wife.
The local officers sweated the woman
Walkers wife, but had welded his
brother. She said her husband left
her and went down to a sheep ranch
southwest of here. When Walker
got into trouble at Kansas City last
week she said she came down here
with him and wrote her husband that
she was coming here. The woman
declared that she was reared in Mem
ph1s, Mo-, and was married there.
She had only lived in Kansas City
short time. She said she had a lit
tie girl six years old who was with
her father and she wanted to go at
once to her baby and husband.
When the Kansas City officer ar
rived last night he declared that
Walkers story about getting drunk
and taking SIG from his employer
was true, but that he had forgotten
to add that he had served a prison
term for burglary. in spite of his
youth and honest appearance.
Walker and the woman were taken
back to Kansas City last night.
There was an old timer
And he had a wooden leg;
If he had no tobacco
For tobacco he would beg.
There was another old beggar
Who was cunning as a fox,
And he kept his tobacco
In an old tobacco box
Said the first old beggar
VIII you give me a chew?
Said the second old beggar,
I'll be blamed If I do.
Said the second old beggar
If you would save your rocks,
You would always have tobacco
In your old tobacco box.

FUNNY MIXUP
At CROWN POINT
Democrats on Way to Meet
ing, Wander into Repub-
lican Headquarters.
STORY ROUSES COUNTY SEAT
Republicans Think Democrats Are
Converted and Latter Don't
Know What to Think.
Especial to THE TrMEs).

Crown Point, Ind, Sept. ga good
story is going the rounds about lit
tue misunderstanding that befell a
couple of local democrats the other
evening which caused them to get
mixed up in the Republican club rooms
where they ought to have been attend
ing a meeting of their. democratic
brethren in another part of the town.
The story goes that ear ier in the day
the two men had been informed that
there was to be an important meeting
of the Bryanites that evening, and the
postal cards also stated that the read
er's presence was urgently requested.
Complying with the request the two
Ierstwhile demos started for the meet
ing in the evening, but somehow got
lsidetracked and went up into the re-
publican headquarters by mistake.
"Nothing On That Night.
There happened to be nothing doing
that evening. and the rooms were prac-
tically deserted except for one or two
republican, stragglers who happened to
be in the room when the men of dem
ocratic proclivities came in. The re-
publicans knew that the new corners
were of the opposite faith. and the look
of surprise on the faces of the visitors
was just as great as that on the faces
of the republican brethren. 1t GER
tainly looked like case of conversion
with either party as the winner
and for a long time not word was
said between the four men in the
room each one seemingly waiting for
an opening or a base of attack.
Matters Getting Desperate.
Matters were getting desperate and
between the shuttle of feet the grunt-
i ing and coughing and the splitting and
putting of the four men the voice of one
of the democrats speaking to the other
could be heard saying, Gosh, guess we
amt going TO have much of a CROWD
tonight Wonder If we were the only
ones to receive postal cars?"
That was enough to put the repub-
lean wise to the situation and annie
the peals of laughter from them tive
Iwrothy democrats wended their way
over to the democratic meeting thai
had been in session for nearly an hour
