The Primary Fight.

Special to The News rom Topeka January, II.
1t is practically conceded today
that the "poison" which the state
senate injected into the primary
election bill which it passed on Sat
urday afternoon will be extracted
by the h ouse.
This poisonous matter which was
injected by the senate consisted of
the following paragraph, which, tits
supposed, was intended to put
Stubs out of the race for United
States senator or force him to take
his choice of two offices:
''No person wfose'name is prin-
ted on the general election ballot at
said election as candidate for any
other office shall be printed thereon
as a candidate for United States
senator, nor shall the name of any
person be printed as a candidate for
United States senator on more than
one party ballot"
The house committee on elections
which by vote of S to a, decided
to favor the November primary for
United States senator, refused to
stand for the anti Stubs PROPOSE
ton.
The bill which the committee re-
ported to the house this afternoon,
was the Stubs primary, except that
it provided for the November selec-
ton of a candidate for the United
States senate.
1t also made a change in the time
for the primaries for city officers, so
that city politics would not get mix
ed up with state and national affairs.
There is no objection to this change.
At O'Clock this afternoon, the
house went into committee of the
whole for the purpose of fighting it
out on the primary law. Before the
fight commenced, the leaders of
both factions got together and
agreed upon Marquis of Queensbury
rules, aid other details for the con
tlict. 1t was decided that Repres-
entative Morgan should move to
substitute the committee bill for the
Stubs bill, and that after fighting it
out in the committee Of the whole,
an opportunity would BE given i'm
mediately afterwards for a roll call.

Every newspaper i'll Kansas has
thrown open its columns the past four
weeks to reassure the public and re-
store confidence in the banks. If
the bankers have any gratitude at
all they will cut out the mail order
printing houses and independent job
Offices that make a specially of
printing bank stationary at cut
throat prices and give the home
printer all their work at living rates.
A friend in need is a friend in
deed, and the editors of Kansas
have proven themselves such during
the strenuous times just past, While
it was clearly the duty of the news
papers to do all in their power to
avert a senseless panic, it shows
that the Kansas editors are level
