States senator in 1912. According TO
ingalls, Murdoch is figuring on the
spealxership of the next national mousse

expects now that they will be.
c,ongressman 7. M. Miller from the
Fourth district, may bolt the Republi-
can ticket next fall if the platform is
not I'D to the standard he has set IN
his mind. Mr.. Miller has been sent to
Washington by the Republican vote OF
his district for twelve years. He stood
pat to the end of the chapter and was
left out of the new edition. Here is
what he says in an interview given out
in Kansas City:
EFT all depends on the kind of plat
form that is adopted, whether or not
the standpatters support the insurgent
Republican nominees. The only con-
sideration under which could support
the ticket would be the adopting of
Republican platform. If Popullst
platform is adopted, / do not think
Republicans can support it, and 1 do
not think Kansas will-unless Kansas
Is Populistic.
"The initiative and referendum, the
recall-if those things are in it-why,
there would be trouble all the time.
Whenever the people were dissatisfied
with some public official they would
go to work and get out a petition for
his recall
And the representative indicated his
disapproval of such an absurd proceed
ing with a deprecatory wave of one
hand.
Representative Miller has been at
Excelsior Springs since his defeat for
denomination. He has been ill, but
says he is now much improved.
81 was not surprised at my defeat"
Mr.. Miller said. ''If we had had
couple of months to get to the people
with the facts it might have been diff
ferent."
Attorney General Fred S. Jackson,
candidate for congress in the Fourth
himself in regard to the party council
as follows:
THE progressive Republicans will
control the party council which will
adopt the party platform at Topeka
August 80. The party council is to
have 293 members-125 nominees for
the legislature, los county chairmen,
40 hold-over state senators and %
state candidates. candidates for con-
gress and members of the United
States senate.
1.-The standpatters are endeavoring
to control as many of the county
chairmen as possible" Mr.. Jackson
said, but it will be of no use. In my
own district. for example. of the ten
county chairmen there cannot be more
than one or two who are not en-
Enthusiastically progressive. 1 assume
that in the other progressive districts
the progressive county chairmen are in
the majority. The great majority of
the candidates for the Kansas house
are progressive. A majority of the
holdover senators are of the same type.
THE platform undoubtedly will have
a plank favoring the initiative and ref
erendum and the recall, and it will be
progressive platform in every way.
Personally 1 shall favor plank for the
registration of all voters in all the dis
tricts of the state, requiring them to
register their residence, politics and
other facts showing them entitled to
vote. There are two reasons; first in
order that non-residents of the state
