TO make choice. The editor of the

issue in Kansas will be whether the
politics of the state shall be controlled
by the Stubs machine in the interest
Of one mans candidacy for United
bers of the party shall be left free to

The Holton Recorder. Will Beck's
red hot administration paper. makes
so far as the senator fight three
years hence is concerned, we have
1alled as yet to see any public or pri-
yate announcement that Governor
Stubs will be candidate for United
States senator against Senator Curtis
When the time comes he NAV be A
candidate We have never heard of
him saying he would not be. But in
aspire to this great honor as does anv
other good citizen of Kansas.
The Times intimation that there is
a Stubs machine working in the in
terest of making Stubs United States
senator. we believe is unfair and I'M
true. If there is a Stubs machine
we have never seen any evidences of
1t. and we have been in a position to
observe pretty closely too The writer
is on rather intimate terms with the
governor. and we can say that Stubs
has never even limited that he wanted
support, either personal or newspaper
for any higher political office. This
We think is the experience of all the
political friends of the governor in
Jackson county.
Moreover Stubs, in our opinion, is
not trying to control the politics of
the state. He is controlling the gov
ernors Office, that is certain The
people who put him there expect that
of him. And he is using his influence
and preroeatives as executive to in
troduce reforms and new theories in
the management of the states bust
ness affairs. But We haven't heard of
him making out any states for state
various congressional districts whom
they shall send to congress to repre-
sent them.
''what Stubs really is doing is this:
He is sticking pretty close to his job
as governor. He says if the people
approve of his administration this
term he would like to be reelected to
another term so as to complete the
program of reform measures he has
out. So far during his admin
istration he has put his hand on
number of weak spots in the states
anatomy and such things as the clean
ing up of the penitentiary. the over
hauling of the state grain inspection

shall render service to the state in
proportion to the amount of their pay
checks We believe that Stubs is
making a record as governor that any
one who has the good of the Repub
Hcan party at heart can heartily APP
prove of.
"Stubbs will only be too glad to
have the members of the party free to
act in their own political affairs. That
is the principle he has been contending
for. 1t is the real square deal idea.
1.-The Times, we think, has not sized
up the situation correctly when it says
the issue from now on will be whether
the politics of the state shall be con-
trolled by the Stubs machine or
not Judging from the present atti-
tude of the voters of the state. the is

probable that President Taft will
meet President Diaz of Mexico, at

Although there is no constitutional
inhibition against the president visit

ironclad precedent covering the whole

disposed to break. These facts were
communicated to President Diaz,
