Governor Stubbs is making good
many speeches this fall His route
covers the eastern section of the state
from Independence to Doniphan coun-
ty and he occasionally makes dash
to the westward. He attended the
sessions of the Wyandotte constitu-
tional convention celebration at KAN
sas City the first of the week in COM
pany with Senator Bristow William
Allen White and Henry Allen. Speak
ing of the meeting the governor de-
clared that the feature of the
night session was the reception ac-
corded Senator Bristow. When the
tall, ungainly man from Salina arose
to speak the assembly went wild,
cheers, handclapping and waving
handkerchiefs greeted him for many
minutes. The governor declared that
not for many years had he seen so
much enthusiasm among Kansans for
a public official.
All this would indicate that Bris-
tow's radical stand for tariff revision
is approved by: his constituents. It is
hard to tell yet just how far this
sentiment goes and how deep it lies.
reservation and is at outs with the
policy of the national administra-
ton. The other senator is close to the
president and has the support and en-
dorsement of the administration.
The people of the state compose the
court of last resort in passing upon
the policies of its representatives at
the capital city Of the Union. Pomp
and circumstance and party regularity
weighed in the scales against radical
ism reform and insurrection.
Bristow's Wyandotte- reception
should strengthen him in the faith.
It lis certain that the square deal ele-

fighting to finish.
John F. Hanson, an attorney at Nc
Pherson. has notified the, suprene
court that he wants to get out OF jail
"The Jail is cold and uncomfortable,
said he. But the supreme court turned
down his request. Hanson was fined
and sentenced to Jail by the probate
Judge Of Mcpherson county for refusing
to answer questions asked him while he
was a witness in case growing out Of
the settlement of an estate. He was
attorney for some of the parties to the
litigation and stood upon This constitu-
tional rights" After the probate judge
sentenced him he sought his release on
a writ of habeas corpus In the supreme
court. That tribunal denied his writ
recently and he was put in Jail. Today
he asked for rehearing and wanted a
ton.
The only way Hanson can get out OF
that cold, uncomfortable Jail now is to
answer the questions which he refused
to answer in the first place.
Phil Campbell, congressman from the
Third district. was here paying his re-
spects to the state officials. He will go
down the Mississippi river with the
presidential party next week, and from
New Orleans will go direct to Washing
ton for the coming session of congress.
He says good roads will receive much
of his attention this winter. He will
take the matter up with the officials OF
the war department and see what can
be done towards getting the army en-
gineers busy.
Mr.. Campbell will have opposition for
denomination in his district in the per-
son of Arthur Cranston, young law
yer Of Parsons, Labette county. Mr..
Cranston was a member of the house
Of representatives in the last legis-
lature.
