Easy to be a Candidate.


If any person wants to be a can
didate for a state office they need
not worry about securing sufficient
names to the primary nomination pc
titions. 1t would be possible to get
ones name on the state ticket for the
August primary this year with only n
signatures to the petitions. This
would be one per cent of the votes
cast at the last election in twenty
counties of the state.
The primary law was passed by the
special session of 1908, and it is pro-
vided that if a candidate for a state
office desires he may secure the sig
natures of one per cent of the total
vote of his party cast in any twenty
counties of Kansas. He may secure
ten per cent in any ten counties. But
it is easier to get one per cent in
twenty counties than ten per cent of
the voters in ten counties, so that
practically all the candidates will use
the twenty county plan.
By judicious selection the candidate
can get off very easily. All he needs
is some one to circulate his petitions
in the western Kansas counties. PeO-
pie living in the big counties probably
will not have many chances to sign
primary petitions this year. The can
didates are already sending out their
petitions. Most of them are sending
petitions into each congressional dis
trict, one or two petitions for each
district, but the most of the petitions
will be in counties in the western
part of the state.

ships, as it is built of iron.
The new vessel is expected to
achieve even more successful results
than those of the rigid aluminium
type, built by Count Zeppelin, on
which it is chiefly modelled. 1t is
to be named the Trier, after the
town.
The skeleton of the balloon is
formed of rolled iron piping. The
central hollow iron shaft is 41O feet
long and about 16 inches in diane
ter. There are sixteen other side
shafts in the framework, each of
them about 328 feet long and inch
es in diameter. They are joined to
the central shaft by latticework
of iron.
The gas is contained in twelve
ring balloonets, in the same manner
as in the Zeppelin craft. The bal
loonets are a little more than 81
feet long and nearly 40 feet in di-
ameter, and they lie end to end along
the body of the airship.
The vessel is provided with no
fewer than five motors developing
altogether $50 horsepower. One of
them, of S0-horsepower, drives the
propeller, which is fitted at the bows.
The other four develop 100-horse
power each, and are utilized to put
into movement the sixteen vertical
and eight horizontal screw planes
which steer the ship upwards and
downwards starboard and port.
The entire weight of the frame
work, motors and equipment is 80
tons.
