City, is likely to be another candidate,
and A N. Enright, former member OF
the legislature. also of Kansas City,
will likely be in the contest.
These men in the primary race viii
make that election an interesting strug-
gle. Predicting winner would be guess
work. Mr.. Scott. who made brilliant
record in congress, is the best known,
but his district has shown itself to be
progressive, while Scott is a regular.
There has, however, been a decided
change of sentiment. This man Keene
of Bourbon is a conner in Kansas poll
tics. He quickly came to the front as
leader in the last house of repre-
sentatives- The better he is known the
stronger candidate he will be in The
primary. Keene is a progressive. Sen
ator Brady will have quite a following
in the Second district for primary hon
ors. He is an able, level-headed man
and stood high in the councils of the
state senate. Brady is editor of the
Journal World, one Of the hest of the
country dailies of the state. It is a
fact that when the late Alex Mitchell
first entered politics as a candidate
for representative from Douglas county
he was opposed by Brady for the nom
ination. Mitchell won the place in the
lower house but Brady was later elect
ed to the state senate. Brady wanted to
run for congress against Scott last year
but gave way to his old legislative OPP
ponent and fellow tovnsman and
friend Now he has announced that he
will enter the primary free-for-all-
Brady is a progressive
Ex-Mayor Guyer, Of Kansas CITY,
must be considered in the race for enc
reason that he has the most populous
county in the district to call his home.
Wyardotte gave Mitchell the congress
sional nomination over Scott.
It is expected that Governor Stubs
will at once call a primary election to
select a candidate for Mitchen's place.
Joseph Taggart, county attorney Of
Wyandotte, is talked of as the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Mitchell seat.
The Golden Belt Medical society, the
oldest organization of the kind in the
state, and one of the strongest, has
passed resolutions against the can
didacy of Arthur Capper for governor
on the ground that he carries adver-
tisements for an alleged fake sani-
tarium and medical concern in his pa
per, the Capital. The Golden Belt
held its annual meeting in Junction
City last week, at which time 1t passed
the following resolutions:
1.-The members of the Golden Belt
Medical society here assembled in
