tariff struggle began and the Presi-
dents siding with Cannon and Aldrich
became more and more apparent. The
insurgents who had insisted on Mr..
Taft's nomination as a natural success
sor to Mr. Roosevelt, no longer went
to the White House, and the Presi-
dents opinion and wishes were learn
ed, or at least guessed at, from infor-
nation obtainable in Mr. Aldrich's
room for the Committee on Finance or
in the Red Room of the Speaker.
The same thing was true in the rail-
road fight. The insurgents found
themselves complete strangers at the
White House. 1t may be straining a
point, but 1t is certain the Republi-
cans of progressive tendencies who
were swamped in the recent general
Republican disaster win feel no more
kindly toward the President for this
new mark of confidence in the Gear

Washington always look askance at
the man who is not able to put up
Ia stiff fight against adverse condi-
tons. They believe in hitting back

battle the better they like It.

MARK TULLEY
State Treasurer and Likes His Job,
Asks Another Term.

Down in the third congressional dis
trict, down at Independence the people
have been able to see through every
thing Mark TulIey has handled for the
past thirty-five years. He has sold
glassware. The people of the state
know the present state treasurer as a
custodian of money, the travelling men
of the union remember him as the
man who sold and delivered the goods.
His real life work, the thing that
singled Mark Tulley out from the
thousands of good men in the state,
was his record as a travelling sales
man.
1t is not often that a company will
indicate it's appreciation of long and
faithful service of it's employees by
a golden token such as the state
treasurer received from the company
he served so long. the Missouri Glass
company of Independence.
After he quit the road and was elect
ed county treasurer of Montgomery
county the home people began to
realize his usefulness as a guardian of
gold as well as a distributor of glass.
When he was nominated and elected
state treasurer he tackled his real big
job. Mark Tulley is custodian of $19,-
100000 of the taxpayers money. For
nearly four years he has handled the

funds of the state, four complete ex-
aminations and complete inventories
have been made by the state account
ant and his reports show that not
dollar has been found out of place.
No one seems to be interested in
the keeping of the states funds so
long as Mark Tulley holds the key to
the big strong box. Once, in executive
council, someone suggested that the
time was about right for another ac
counting and examination of the state
treaSurer's Office. "Oh, never mind
about that" interposed Governor
Stubs with an impatient gesture, eff
there is any shortage in the state
treasurer's office while Mark Tulley is
treasurer I will make it good out of my
own pocket" The governor has never
been called upon to make good in that
particular line yet
Down in Mr.. Tulley's own county
the papers Democratic. Republican,
Pop. or middle of road are talking
kindly and favorably of his candidacy
and complimentary of his administra-
ton. The Labor Record in a recent
edition contained the following article
in regard to the candidacy of Mark
Tulley for denomination
"a Competent Official
State treasurer Tulley has made
good-should he be reelected? Mark
Tulley, the present state treasurer is
HllInS IndI responsible pOSlIlOn to the
entire satisfaction of the people of the
state of Kansas. He will ask the Re
publican party to renominate him at
its next state primary. The party
could do no better than to re-elect him
for another term.
Well, when everything else has been
said about Mr.. Tulley and his public
career, this must not be left untold.
He has been in Kansas since April,
1878. He located in Independence the
year following the Bender exodus, de-
MES any acquaintance with the famous
family but claims he knows or would
like to know everybody else in Kansas.

ulous insurance agents and their COM
panies, it is quite natural he feels
himself fitted to handle the office,
designated by law to correct such evils
and assist legitimate insurance writ
ing, that of superintendent of inSur-
ance. Over in Salina lives Van H.
King. He is the subject of this sketch.
Mr.. King claims Mississippi as his
native state. Kansas as his home by
choice and circumstances. When
seventeen years old he moved with his
parents to st. Louis, where he entered
the Washington university Mr.. King
began real life work as travelling
salesman following his graduation
from that college.
After travelling for several years for
a wholesale grocery house he entered
McGill college and graduated from
that institution as a physician and sur
geon. For a number of years he fol-
lowed his profession, then engaged in
the insurance business in which he
has been actively occupied for the past
ten years.
Van King knows enough about in
surance in Kansas to handle the office
of state superintendent of insurance
he is physician and surgeon enough
to know the ills of the insurance bust
ness and how to correct them; he has
sold goods and groceries long enough
to know when man, agent, gen.
eral agent or the president of the in
surance company is trying to sell chear
unreliable insurance. He is Republican
all the way through and if nominated
and elected will bring republican poll
cies into play in the administration
of his office.
He is a stickler for absolutely sound
and clean insurance. He says the peo-
pie OF Kansas are entitled to the very
best insurance and will have it, if he
is elected superintendent of insurance
He declares he will revoke the license
of any agent in the state who violate:
any of the state laws regulating insur-
ance, for disappearing. rebating oil
twisting in conducting an insurance
business.
Van H. King is under obligations Il
no man and expects to go into Office
if nominated and elected, with an alb
soluteIy clean record and a determine
ton to discharge the duties to the bes
of his ability
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1910-05-28

board of normal regents, and has held
other minor public positions. His long
experience as a public official, both in
state and county offices, ought to make
him an ideal candidate for state treas
urer, and will strengthen the Republic
can ticket should he be nominated.
In all of his official acts he has Civ
en- such universal satisfaction that the
business men of Hutchinson are send
ing out circulars in his behalf The
endorsements on this circular are
headed by E. L. Meyer, president of
the First National bank, and reads as
follows:
The citizens of Hutchinson and Re
no county are deeply interested IN the
nomination of Mr.. f. ]. Altswager,
who is a candidate for state treasurer.
We are DESTROYS of receiving your CO.
operation and support at the primary
election.
ut is our pleasure to state that Mr.
AItswager has served us as county
treasurer for four years with entire
satisfaction and credit to our people.
He has been a member of the state
normal board for eight years and has
always given entire satisfaction in ev-
cry position of private and public
trust, and a man who possesses unus-
ual executive ability.
1--WE submit this testimony for your
favorable consideration, and will thank
YOU to remember our candidate at the
regular primaries"
With home endorsements of this
character no Republican should hest
tate to vote for Mr.. Altswager for
state treasurer, if he is their choice, at
the primary in August Along with
the above circular, appears the en-
ers of Reno county, and that of P. j.
Gale, former judge of the district
court. No voter should ask for a bet
| ter guarantee than these.

sioner, has been a representative from
Cowley county at the past two sessions
of the legislature. During the last ses-
sion he was recognized as one of the
leaders on the side of reform legisla-
ton. No member spent longer hours
at his desk or worked harder in COM
mittee than did Mr.. Cunningham. He
also played a prominent part in the
big debates on important bills His
ability as a lawyer and his legislative
experience especially qualify him for
the important office of railroad COM
missioner. During the last two ses-
sions he worked and voted for an anti
pass a law, a two cent fare law. and
maximum freight law He studied
these laws and his voice in debate
proceeding their passage always COM
manded attention
For six years he has given care
full study and attention to the laws re-
lating to the regulation of rates and
the control of common carriers. No
one who knows him doubts that if
elected, the state will have the first
claim on his time and ability. He is
a tireless worker to the full extent
of the power of the office he will see
that the Kansas shippers and the ira
yelling public get square deal in both
rates and Accommodations.
