IS SURE
State Chairman Says Entire
Republican Ticket Is Safe.
Comedies Nothing to Democrats
in Kansas.

! Chairman J. N. Dolley comedies
nothing to the Democrats in the APP
today Dolley claims not only the cleo
ton of Stubs and Capper, but the
election of the entire state ticket and
all of the eight Republican congress
sional candidates as we'll. Stubs and
CapDer have both made big gains the
last two weeks. according to the in
formation compiled by Dolley as
chairman of the Republican state
committee.
At the present time polls of every
county in Kansas are being compiled
by clerks i'll the Republican state
these lists are completed, Dolley says
he expects to be able to make an
accurate and reliable prediction on
the results in the election Novem-
Der 5.
1t is claimed by Dolley that many
Democrats in all portions of the state
are forsaking Judge William H.
Thompson and will support Governor
Stubs, the Republican nominee for
United States senator. Capper as
we'll as Stubs, Dolley says, is win
ming the support of many of the Kan
sas Democrats and the Topeka pub
lishers chances of election have
greatly increased in the last two
weeks, according to the Dolley in
formation.
"Capper has made great gains, es-
pecially in the last few days" said
Dolley. He is unquestionably much
stronger than two or three weeks ago.
While 1 have never thought that his
chances for election were doubtful, I
am now confident that he will win in
the coming election.
las for Stubbs,' continued the
state chairman, "he has been making
great gains for at least three or four
weeks. Reports from every part of
the state show that he is much
stronger and his election which per-
haps seemed doubtful Immediately
following the primaries, is in my opin-
ion safe and certain
Would you base a prediction on
majOritieS in the coming election ?"
Dolley was asked.
Not at this time said the chair
man of the Republican committee.
I'VE have what we think is an accu-
rate poll of every county in the state,
to headquarters and I have been I'M
able to give them sufficient study to
warrant prediction on majorities-
Our clerks are working on these lists
at this time and from the information
which I have, there is no question in
my mind as to the final result"
Dotley was then asked concerning
the state ticket in general and the
situation in the eight congressional
districts None of these offices are
conceded to the Democrats by Dolley.
who admits that there are bitter fights
for most of the congressional jobs.
The entire state ticket looks safe to
me-" was Dolley's prediction on the
ticket in general. LAS for the con-
gressmen, think they are fairly safe.
In the Fourth district they are making
a hard fight on Jackson and there is a
bitter contest in the Eighth district
represented by Murdoch. But think
both of these men will be reelected.
Information which L have received
from the Seventh is to the effect that
Judge Finley is making a hard cam
paign and that his chances for the
defeat of Nicely are good. In the Fifth
and Sixth districts, Rees and Young
both have aggressive opponents, but
their chances for reelection seem very
favorable. Brady is making a hard
fight against Taggart in the Second
and I am sure that Brady will win. In
the First district Anthony does not
seem to have as hard a fight perhaps
as some of the other candidates. While
Campbell in the Third district is now
in the midst of a hard fight with
chances very good for his return to
DoIley comedies nothing He adj
mits that the fight is hot and that the
regulars in the Republican ranks are
causing trouble: but declares that
every indication points to the election
of the entire Republican ticket in
Kansas.
From now until the polls close No
vember 5, the campaign liar will be in
his glory said Dolley. He will bear
watching by every voter in the state
