D. o. McCray Says Alliance Days
Are Coming Back.

It has now come to be pretty gener-
ally believed among his friends thai
Mark Tulley state treasurer, will make
the race again for state treasurer
Pressure has been brought to bear upon
Mr.. Tulley this summer from every
section of the state to go before ths
people on his record. 1t is a fine thing
TO stand upon, this record made by the
state treasurer. and as people are not
always ungratefuI, it is very likely that
Mr.. Tulley will continue the admins
tration OF his office through a third
term. Here is the way the people of
Montgomery county. his home, feel
about Mr.. Tulley's candidacy according
to the Caney Chronicle. published by
Harry Brighton, representative in the
last legislature:
while in Topeka Tuesday we had a
talk with State Treasurer Mark Tul-
ley, and he informed us that he had
practically made UP his mind to run
for reelection next year.
He said that his friends all over
the state were urging him to make the
race. and that he was In q position
that he could not refuse to run and be
treating them right. Two or three
prospective candidates for. state treas
urer have recently come to him and in
s way demanded that he make the
campaign. and that for the purpose of
concluded to stay out of the fight
Mr.. Tulley himself had no idea of
king the people of Kansas for third
term and would not think of such
thing were it not for the shape poll
tics in Kansas seem to be drifting into.
The demand for his continued services
is not coming from the politicians. but
from the people. 1t has caused the
politicians to sit up and take notice
however, and they are waiting for the
formal announcement of Mr.. Tulley's
candidacy, which will no doubt appear
in a few days.
1T is commonly accepted by the peo-
pie of Kansas that Mr.. Tulley has
proven one of. if not the very best and
most efficient, treasurers the state has
ever had, and it is this fact alone that
has made him popular among his con-
stftuency without regard to political
affiNation.
There is no stronger evidence that
the way to be popular as a politician
is to be honest. and serve the people
Just as a faithful and honest employe
would serve the best interests of his
employer. That is the secret of the
whole thing. Mr.. Tulley in the first
place is thoroughly capable; he is hon
est to the core and conscientious.
These qualities of character inspired
him to serve the people well, and this
done. there is no wonder they ask for
his services for the third term.
The people of Montgomery county
can depend on his friends and neigh
bors at home at any time, and for any
thing
D. o. McGray, the Topeka news
paper correspondent, writing for the
Chicago Record-Herald has the fol-
lowing to say about Kansas politics:
The old farmers alliance days are
coming back to Kansas. The scenes
of the early '9os are to be re-enacted.
for people will assemble in the early
fall at great picnic gatherings to hear
political spell-binders talk about the
new tariff. But they will not travel
TO these meeting places in covered
farm wagons dressed in overalls and
calicos as they did in the days when
PETER, jerry Simpson and Mrs.
come in automobiles, robed in the
fabrics most protected by the Aid
rich tariff, and with shiny shoes
representing the great free hide state
of Kansas.
This movement to start a great
series of debates and picnic speeches
over Kansas is credited to the Demo-
Gratis. They have urged that the two
United States senators-Curtis and
BriStow-meet in joint debate and |
tell the people about the new tariff |
Curtis stood by Aldrich and the presi- |
dent for the bill as passed. and |
asserts it is a good law: Bristow op-
posed nearly every schedule and |
conference committee. Many Re
publicans. along with the prominent |
Democrats. are anxious that the two |
senators divide time and speak from |
the same rostrum. Senator Bristow !
has written from his home at Salina, |
that he Is ready to meet Curtis in |
joint debate on the Aldrich bill every
day during the next three months, !
and Curtis in turn announces that he |
stands ready to defend the president |
the Republican party and the tariff |
bill its representatives enacted
