Col. Martin, who closed his one term
as state senator from Bourbon county
two years ago, has since run for coun-
ty attorney and suffered defeat, and is
therefore open to any political position.
The prevailing custom of past years
has been to change the office of ad-
jutant general at the close of each term
of the governor, but it seemed probable
up to this time, that General Hughes
would be retained for the coming term,
on account of his ability. During his
tenure of office he has made number
of improvements in the national guard,
and through his efforts, has improved
the equipment and armament of his
little state army. During his term the
Kansas soldiers have been armed with
the latest improved rifles such as are
used in the regular service, and the K.
N. G. has shown up to good advantage
at all encampments and rifle meets.
When General Hughes refused to
get into the race for mayor of Tope-
ka, it was said that the reason was
because of an understanding that he
would be reappointed adjutant gen.
eraI of Kansas. Although he did not
state publicly that he had received the
emphatically that he would get into
the mayoralty race providing he
was not assured Of reappointment-"
Col Martin, who was an officer in
the Twentieth Kansas during the
Spanish war, was afterward an officer
of the National Guard and on Gov.
Hoch's staff He was elected senator
from Bourbon county in 1904 and
served one term. Politically he was
an insurgent, during the major por-
ton of the last regular session, but
near the end of the session, showed a
to follow the Stubbs-Dol-
ley band wagon
When asked about the situation to-
day. General Hughes said: 81 know
that Martin is here for the purpose of
trying to secure this office. If he has
brought any pressure to bear upon the
governor, he is certainly ahead of me.
[ have not approached him on the
subject and although I have the rec
concentrations of all the staff officers
here on my desk. I have asked my
friends not to. bother the governor,
because he was very busy with other
matters

the original schedule, as it stood before
the switches of Lincoln, Topeka Sioux
City and Wichita games. The inequali-
ties in the schedule were made for the
benefit of the Lincoln team.
The changes which Holland suggests
provide that Topeka play in Sioux
City, Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
September 2. and 4, then return home
for a Sunday game with Lincoln, Sep
tember 5, and go to Lincoln, September
for Labor Day double header. This
isn't exactly what one would call
peaches and cream. At the same time
Wichita would play September g. 4, and
5. in Lincoln and go to Sioux City for
the other dates.
The original schedule before these
dates were adopted provided that
Wichita would play at home with Lin
coin September 3, 4 and 3. and then
play in Lincoln the next two days. On
account of not being able to return
to Lincoln in time to play the morn
ing game on Labor Day the changes
were made. As Wichita and Lincoln
were the beneficiaries of the change.
Cooley doesn't propose to lose a Sunday
game in Sioux City on their account,
and is in favor of making the other
teams suffer.
Cooley says the Inconsistencies of the
schedule were known at the time of the
schedule meeting but were perfectly
satisfactory and that President
O'Neills kick at this time is instigated
by Mike Cantillon of the Des Moines
team whose plans for "hogging'' the
schedule were ridiculed at the meeting.
In other words "sour grapes"

said today:
when the schedule was adopted the
club owners knew that Topeka, Wich-

other an unequal number of times but
the arrangement was satisfactory to
all at that time.
