NEWSPAPER COMMENT.
The Following Comments on the Can
didates for Governor are Taxi
en- from Last Weeks
Papers,.

The Globe is mighty glad to see ex
governor Bailey enter the race for govern
or this year. One of the biggest foo
blunders the Republican party of Kansai
ever made was when they turned Bailey
down four years ago; as he was one Of
the best and truest men In the state and
no man ever made better record al
governor.-Meade Globe.
MIR. Stubs says he has travelled thous-
ands Of miles the past year and made a
lot of speeches. But In 1905 when the
Republican party was In danger Of ue.
feat, Mr.. Stubbs would not travel mile,
make speech or help bit. or course
he was not candidate then but he
might have stood by the Republican par
ty. On the other hand Governor Bailey
spoke and worked for the Republican
ticket two years ago In spite of his per.
sonal defeat. Bailey speaks for Repub.
lican principles and Stubs speaks for
Stubbs. That's the difference. Hutch
inson News.
Stubbs is going to start his campaign
for Governor with "a big meeting in
Topeka" That's the place to start the
Stubbs boom allright-in Topeka, among
the leeches who live off the state. The
Bailey boom was started by the Republi-
cans of Kansas and will 60 marching on,
regardless Of Stubbs or any other man
who is seeking his own selfish interests
to the deteriment of the party he is try
ing to use as his tool. Stubbs was re-
sponsible, largely, in doing great In
justice to Governor Bailey four years
ago and he now has the audacity to
come out as candidate against him
when the people want to right the wrong
as far as possible, which was perpetrated
under the leadership of this man Stubbs
and in time Of frenzied agitation. The
record of Mr.. Stubbs while speaker of
the house and chairman of the srate COM
mittee Is not in accord with his pretend
ed friendship for the people, while the
administration Of Governor Bailey for
one term stands as one of the bess and
c.eanest the state has ever had. The
republicans Of Kansas will do the right
thing by Willis j. Bailey and show that
they believe in ''a square deal to every
man" by nominating him for a second
term by acclamation nex' March. Pratt

The Republican gubernatorial contest
Is now on In earnest and promises to be a
three cornered Gght between Bailey, Le-
land and Subbs. The outcome will be
In doubt until the day Of the convention
March 4th. The News choice is Ex.
Governor Bailey, Of Nemaha county.
Mr.. Bailey 10 one of the cleanest and
best men that ever sat 10 the Governors
chair and is entitled to the nomination.
He was unjustly defeated for renomi-
nation three years ago aud many Of
those who opposed him then have long
since regretted their action. Now is the
opportunity TO correct that mistake. This
section Of Kansas 10 an agricultural COM
munity and every voter should be for the
ex-governor. He Is farmer and his In.
terests are theirs. While for the past
few months he has resided In Atchisor,
yet he gives his farm . great deal of his
attention. Mr.. Bailey IL the
only farmer who ever held the office Of
governor Of Kansas. Stafford county
Republicans have always been great ad.
mirers OF Mr.. Bailey and we believe that
they will be overwhelmingly for his
nomination OF this time. st. John News.
