A Kansas Idea

In Kansas proposed legislation is un-
der consideration, having for it's object
compulsory voting. The Kansas plan is
to levy poll tax of S. on all citizens
and to remit this tax to all citizens who
vote. Those who do not vote will have
to pay. That would make it pretty ex-
pensive for cheap politicians who give
money to men to keep them from voting
-one of the hardest kind of election brl-
berry to detect or punish.
The Kansas reiormers also suggest that
if a voter does not vote at two successive
elections, unless prevented by illness, he
shall loose his franchise. A law of that
sort would do away with poll workers
and the use of carriages and other "hon-
ey fugle methods of getting out the
vote"

no delays, and as a result, number OF

Republican National Convention next

said that E w. Gibson, one of the Roose-
welt delegates from this state, tavors the

the name be presented. 1t will be funny
business, should this come to pass, for
Gibson, an out-and out Roosevelt man,
to be found endorsing Meade, who it is
presumed will seek the nomination on
the Taft ticket. We take little stock, all
the same, in the matter, as when the
ground is looked over, the name of Mead
or any other man from New England,
with the possible exception of Massachu-
sets, will receive no consideration at Chi
cago. If TAFT is re-nominated the chances
are very strong that Vice President Sher-
man will also be re nominated.
