Much has been written about the can
didates fNr places on the Republican
ticket next year and their name is le-
gion, but the Democratic slate has beer
left clean by the political prophets. This
is hardly fair The Democrats put up
great fight in the state last year ano
had a tight party organization; The
Republicans were wOrried.-up to the
time Candidate Taft smiled his big
smile all the way from the Colorado
line to Kansas City.
The Democrats have plenty of good
material for state offices, even if they
are shy on votes to deliver this ma
herial at the state house.
The following slate is worthy of con-
sideration and is respectfully presented
after listening to the views of the poll
Eicians of both parties:
For Governor-C. F. Foley of Rice
county, or Senator George H. Hodges
of Olathe, Johnson county.
lieutenant Governor-W. P. FEEDER OF
Barton, J. T. farrell Of Holton, John r.
| Ashcroft of Graham.
Secretary of State-W. NJ. Moore of
rTeasurer-David H. HefeIbower of
Auditor-senator t A Milton of wy
andotte.
Attorney General-John ]. schenck of
Shawnee or Geo r. F'reerks Of Sedg-
wick.
Superintendent Public Instructiou-A.
d. Carney Of COncordia-
railroad COMMISSIONER r LOU
derback of Bourbon. Editor Lii of the
Hutchinson Gazette. r. Z. Vaughn OF
Coffeyville.
Supreme Court Judges-David Dale of
wichita, John Malloy or NJ B. Nichol-
son of Council Grove.
1t is well known that the candidacy
of Senator Hodges for governor, when
discussed last year, worried the Repub-
ucan leaders not a little They would
rather have seen any one else than the
Olathe man in the race. Hodges would
make q strong candidate and would so
g. is reported on good authority, have
the support of the Kansas City Star
for the place against the Republican
candidate. G. F. Foley is one of the
strong and able men of the state and
commands the respect of the men of
both parties.
w. p. FEEDER made good as an inf1u-
entail member of the last house of rep
resentatiVes and as for Frank FARRELL,
why everybody is for Frank If he could
be dragged into the race.
w NJ. Moore of Republic will be re-
nembered as the victim of an election
contest in the senate as a result OF
which ne was ousted in favor of Cald-
well, the Republican candidate. Moore
made many friends by the graceful
manner in which he yielded to the
heavier artillery.
I.ouderback, Of Bourbon, won his
spurs in the last house. R. z. Vaughn
was twice elected mayor of Coffey-
vile and is strong in the Third dis
trict.
John Malloy, of Council Grove. is COW
cred with the scars Of many political
battles and has medals to show for his
victories. He won in the race for coun-
" attorney. of Morris county over Con-
EressTnan Miller. Nicholson, hailing
from the same town. heads an anti
NIalIoy faction. Nicholson deserted to
the ranks of. the Popuists when the
Alliance wave swept Kansas and Nal
Ioy never forgave him for that defiec-
tion. The winner in this faction in a
minority party would be entitled to a
place on the state ticket.
Governor Stubs is not the only Of
fetal in the state who is facing the
dilemma of whether or not to call a
special session. Dr. Crumbine of the
state. board. of health has been urged
by the citizens of Ashland to call
Il special session of the board for the
purpose of abating a nuisance in that
town. So far the doctor has resisted
che pressure. Unlike the governor
the doctor is willing to be interview
ed on the subject. Somebody in Ash
land got permission from the city
council to establish a cesspool in the
alley back of his building and the
nelEhbors are up in arms and sending
