found that they were all for. Leland
for governor. Here are few sam
pies:
]. C. Postlethwaite, Jewell City, Sixth
district. said the district would be
close but that Leland would carry it.
Stubs following in the Sixth dis
trict," said Judge Postlethwaite, "is
made up largely Of those who were in
the Populist party several years ago
and have never really come back, but
who have been waiting for. a leader,
and they seem to look upon Stubs as
that leader. He is making the same
kind Of speeches Jerry Simpson and
the ability of either. Our people are
beginning to realize the injustice Of the
tax law for which Stubs claims credit.
and they are not finding the primary
that it would be. The farmers es-
pecially are dissatisfied with the tax
law and Leland's opposition to it is
making him many supporters who per-
haps otherwise might be friendly to
Stubbs."
Col p. NJ. Hoisington. Of the Second
regiment K. N. g.. a resident Of New
ton, Eighth district, says: Harvey
county, you know, was one of the first
counties to go on in the boss buster
movement. and 1t has not recovered as
ties in the state. But the majority for
Stubs will not be large In Harvey
county and 1t would not surprise me II
Leland carried the Eighth district: in
fact, am inclined to think that he
will, although there will be only close
margin in Mcpherson county, but l
think Leland will carry Sedgwick and
| Summer counties by good ma1orities."
Tom Wagstan Of Montgomery coun-
ty. Third district, says: THE longer
| and more extended is Stubs campaign
| the larger majority the state will give
Leland in the primaries. I do not be-
lieve Stubs will carry a single county
in the Third district, and I am certain
| he won't carry Montgomery county.
Our county is going to give Leland a
good majority" ;,
Don't worry about the Seventh dis
| trict," said John NJ. Kinkle Of Hutch
Iinson. THAT district Is for Long and
LELAND and all this talk about Stubbs
carrying the district is foolish. Lee
land and Long will carry Reno county
by good majorities and the dfstrict Dy
49, 900 majority or better
David B. Fuller Of Eureka, VINO was
elected grand commander OF the
lKniehts Templar. in speaking OF the
gubernatorial conditions. said: Inc
| clair, of Stubbs that he Will carry the
Fourth district will be subject to re-
vision before the primaries. Yes, l
know this district is the home OF some
of the high officials in the grand iodge
of Political He'll Raisers, but IN spl.e e
Wurdock. that district will keep Stubs
| majority down to a very small margin
il It does not give Leland a small ma
iority. The people OF the Fourtn us

to themselves and rehearsed in
grotesque antics the sights they saw
by peering into the windows Of the
Patterson mansion during a reception
AS for the play, it is far and away
one of the best that has ever been seen
in Topeka. It tells a thrilling love
story in thrilling fashion and depicts
any quantity of good wholesome char
acters. There's good deal of comedy
in the first couple Of acts and the lines
fairly scintillate with brilliant say
ings. 1t is Miss Young's best of many
good efforts. And 1t was thoroughly en-
joyed by what was probably the larg-
est audience that has assembled at
this play house during the season. The
theater was literally packed from pit
to dome and this big audience got en-
thusiastic to a degree over Miss Man
nering and her play. Surely the pro-
duction of GLORIOUS Betsy in all OF
it's details and before such record
breaking audience was a fitting climax
for the rather notable theatrical sea-
son which Topekans have enjoyed. 1t
is to be sincerely hoped that Miss Man
nering comes this way again.
