feeling of resentment that Stubs
has followed their wishes, rather
than those of the members Of the
bar who looked at the appointment
from the standpoint of lawyers, not
as politicians.

tion, are quietly but actively arrayed
for Wagstaff this year. High taxes
have aIienated many farmers too,
and from 1t all 1t may be safely fig
ured that Stubs will suffer severe
losses in Saline county.

A well Informed politician of To
peka who has recently been in the
Fifth district looking over the con.
ditlons writes as follows:
C0neOEdia, May 5.Cyfus Leland
was two years ago defeated by w.
R. Stubbs for the Republican nomina-
tion- for governor by something like
1900 votes. There are 1900 vot-
ing precincts in Kansas and it will
require change Of but few votes in
each precinct to accomplish the de-
feat of Stubs for denomination. 1t
is this fact that is making the sup
porters of Tom Wagstaff in this Sec
ton of the state confident that Wag-
staff will win. They are banking on
the same ratio of change In other
quarters of the state that is easily
to be found here.
Seriously, there is no question but
that the tide is against Stubbs in
the west end of the Fifth congress
sional district. A trip through sew
eral counties this week, with pains
taking effort to get the actual con-
ditions. has been convincing that
will run upwards of one
thousand votes ahead of Leland's
vote of two years ago in Dickinson,

rounds and gives little heed to events
In the big world. He weighs out the
coffee and sugar and hands out the
bars Of soap and the bread, partlcu-
lar always that there shall be small
profit on each article. Months after
the panic, which he read about, as
he might read Of a snow slide in the
Rocky Mountains, he found, one day,
that people had stopped buying OF
him. and when he came to inquire.
It was the bank not paying out any
more than It could help and not loan.
ing anything at all, that caused all
this. And he had his own opinion
of the conditions as It was represent
ed by the country bank, He said
nothing then, but he stopped buying
any new goods when the drummer
came around, and this state Of
things went On Tor months. Then he
had sold out nearly all his stock and
he bought Just few things that
were absolutely needed. But people
kept coming for them more and
more, and so he bought a little more
each time, and then came time
when business was brisk and he was
making money again as he used to.
This was in the summer and fall
months of Taft's first year.
And now he reads in the papers

Think WHAT this
MEANS, FARMERS.

The tariff question Will never bt
eliminated from politics. The inter.
ests Of the importer and the inter.
ests Of the manufacturer and pro-
ducer will always clash. There will
always be a Democratic parity sup
porting the interests Of the importer
4 and there will always be a Repub-
can party supporting the interests of
the American manufacturer and the
3american producer.
The Democratic party will always
claim that we have to pay too much
Tor what we have to buy and demand
4 reduction Of the tariff downward.
EEhe Democrat will always claim
that our home manufacturer and
home producer must reduce the price
f their manufactured goods and
home farm products to level with
the prices at which the same can be
manufactured or produced in other
countries.
The Republican party will always
cloim that our home manufacturer
ond home producer should have pro-
lection sufficient to prevent disas-
trous competition from other coun-
tries.
The Republican idea is that while
the American manufacturer and
American farmer have to pay taxes
to support the government the for
eigner who obtains the privilege Of
selling his products in competition
with them in one market should also
be required to pay reasonable tax
for that privilege, and that that tax
should be 50 adjusted as to fall upon
products that compete with our home
products and the products from other
countries that we cannot produce at
hu9ie should be admitted free.
The Democrat idea Is that the tar
iff tax should be levied upon all inn
ports at the same rate regardless of
whether or not they compete with
our home products. These conflictisg
ideas will remain with us and we
will always have a Republican party
u T !. b. Il
supporting the one idea and q Demo-
cratic party supporting the other. and
the hope Of the individual who be-
lieyes that the tariff question will
be eliminated frof politics will live
and die and generations after him
will live and die without seeing his
hope realized There will always

for there has unquestlonably been a
change in Clay county outside of Clay
Center. Evidence OF this change was
I found at Longford, Oak Hill and
Clifton. 1t Is by no means a land
slide in either Cloud or Clay county,
there Is sufficient change in
ointment that If the same ratio is
maintained over th ,ntlre state, as
the reports indicate it will b Vega
he reports indicate it will be. Wag-
staff will be nominated by safe
matorlt'sss ~
! 1t is in Dickinson and Saline coun-
ties that there has been the greatest
change against Stubs. Two years
ago Stubs carried Dickinson coun-
ty by 400 votes over Leland. He is
certain to lose the county this year.
No particular effort was made for
Leland two years ago. except by
few workers. Wagstaff's boom has
taken harder in Dickinson county
than 1t has in many places In the
state.
Dickinson county Is intensely Re-
publican and many have been driven
to Wagstaff by Stubbs' criticism of
President Taft and the tariff law. In
creased state taxes and the inheri-
tance tax law, together with reali-
zation that Stubs plays to popular
fancy and trusts to this machine to
organize things for him are also
helping Wagstaff.
On one OF Wagstaff's petitions
from the city of Abilene are the
names of nine men who two years
ago supported Stubbs. None of them
are politicians, in the sense the term
is ordinarily applied. All are busi-
ness men.
At Herington the change is more
marked than at Abilene. The writer
talked to four businessmen at Her
ington who are former supporters
of Stubbs now working for Wag-
staff. Politically. no one of ths
four, known away from home. All
are desirous Of avoiding newspaper
but the real point Is that
all are against Stubs. At Herring
ton, there ls young mems club OF
eighteen members. In 1908, all but
five supported stubbs. A straw vote
the other evening showed only one
Of the eighteen for Stubs. Figure
these things any way you wish
they must be construed as indicating
a tremendous change.
While hardly so marked in Saline
the change there is tremen-
dous. Little is being done for
stubbs. Wagstaff's friends are be-
coming active. Outside sallna, sa-
line county Is strongly Democratic.
30 It is likely that the changes In sa-
ina alone Will take Saline out OF
he stubbs column at the primary.
He did not carry it at the election
,f 1908. The recent iudgship ap-

Fifth District Likes
Tom Wagstaff's Ideas

4 the Fifth district. If the change in
sentiment elsewhere is at all proper
tionate, Governor Stubbs may as well
begin now to get used to the notion
that he is a one termer.
| It has, not been the rude OF tae
writer in reaching conclusions either,
to depend on statements made by
active political workers who are old
In opposition to Stubbs, but rather
| depending on quiet conversations
with businessmen for information as
to changes, followed up by conversa-
tions with the voters said to have
changed from their support Of Stubbs.
At the 1908 primary, Stubbs car
ried each Of the four counties above
mentioned over Leland. Onthe basis
Of things now it seems conservative
to estimate that Wagstaff will have
a majority in the four counties, al
though he is hardly likely to carry
each of the four. But the drift of
sentiment is away from Stubs.
Two years ago little organized ef-
fort was made for Leland in Cloud
county. This year Wagstaff's friends
are working to build a strong organi-
zation. Cloud, like Dickinson and
Clay. had for years been opposing
the Republican faction of which Le-
land was the leader, and 1t was up
hill work to develop strong, militant
support for Leland. With Wagstaff
as a candidate the situation is diff
ferent, the Montgomery county man
having no record Of past factional
fighting to weaken him.
Besides, there is much dissatisfac-
tlon among Republicans with some Of
the Stubs policies In state govern
ment, there is complaint Of high taxes
ami widespread disposition to re-
sent the governors attitude toward
the administration of President Taft
and his apparent disregard Of party
welfare. Gpverndr Stubs tariff
position is bringing him no support
that he did not have two years ago.
It is losing him some. Republicans
who complain against the Payne bill
are all Of the type who were active in
support OF stubbs in 1908. But
there seem to be Republicans inE
practically every precinct, who two
years ago supported stubbs at thei
primary, but who are now against
him solely on the tariff issue.
Some idea OF the drift of things
here may be gained from the follow
ing straw poll In one block here
are nineteen Republican business
men. OF the nineteen, nine were two
years ago supporters Of stubbs at
the primary. Today, thirteen Of the
niaeteen are supporting Wagstaff.
Il Is safe to predict now that Wsg-
staff viii get at least 50 votes more
han did Leland In Concordia, He
viii run ahead Of the Leland vote too
IA the country precincts. and this
,ounty had been a Stubs hot-bed.
