KANSAS SHALL HAVE THE lNITlb
TIVE, REFERENDUM AND
RECALL.

Governor-elect Hodges Of Kansas.
at the Hotel Baltimore last night,
made public the appointment Of Hen
derson Martin of Marion, Kans., as
chairman of the state public utilities
commission. The position was ten
dered Mr.. Martin several days ago.
Mr. Hodges received his acceptance
while IN Kansas City last night. Mr..
Martin is chairman of the Democrat
ic state committee, a close political
friend Of the new governor and a
leader in the progressive wing of the
Democratic party in Kansas.
The governor-elect also announced
for the first time last night a tenta-
tive program he will ask the legis-
lature to take up. 1t includes the
adoption for Kansas of the initiative,
the referendum, the recall AMI the
Massachusetts Ballot Law. Mr.. Hodges
said:
Il will present these matters to the
legislature in my message with an
earnest recommendation that they be
taken up first, as | believe them to
be of first importance to the people
of Kansas. 1 pledge my word to the
people of Kansas that they will be en-
acted into law, because I believe the
Legislature will be the most progress
sive law making body that has ever
sat in Kansas and because the senti-
ment is so strong for these measures
that no legislature will deny it.
While these measures were a part
of the Democratic platform-every sin

Legislature to keep, and l expect to
have kept-still | want the co-opera.
ton of Progressives whatever party
they may be in, in their adoption,
These are measures We all believe in
Party lines should be laid aside in oh
tanning their adoption. 1t is securing
more firmly the rule of the people,
to which Progressives of every politi.
cal complexion may subscribe.
Governor Hodges said he had moi
yet begun his message or his inaugu.
raj address. He had not time to give
even a moments thought to either
he said. His message he said, would
inclued largely the pledges made in
the platform, with some other recon-
mendations.

than seven thousand letters since my

he DIES HARD.

]. N. Dolley, chairman of the Re-
publican state committee and bank
commissioner, under the Stubs ad-
niaistration, dies hard. AS the time
rapidly approaches when is will be-
come necessary for him to be. pried
loose from his job, he PUSHES into
print" and attacks the validity Of
Senator Hodges election. 1t seems
that Dolley was much disappointed
because Arthur Capper did not con-
test the election, thereby prolonging
the campaign and embarrassing the
newly elected governor. His sensa-
ti0nal statements published in last
weeks papers are both absurd and
ridiculous. There is no reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Capper suffered more
By the rejection of illegal ballots
than his opponent. Possibly in the
entire state approximately $1,000 bal
lots were thrown out for various rea-
sons by the different election judges
Of the state. In some instances Mr..
Capper suffered thereby and in other
Instances the loser was Senator
Hodges. Inasmuch as a great ma
jority of the election judges were in
sympathy with the Republican candi-
date, it is not probable that they
would give him the worst of the deal
II the courts had permitted a recount
of these rejected ballots, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that Hodges,
rather than Capper, would have been
the gamer.
As matter of fact one of the real
surprises of the election was the
small majority received by Senator
Hodges. Those who kept an intelh'
gent tab on the campaign predicted
bis election by an approximate ma
jority of not less than 10000. The
story of the returns justified this es
innate. A democratic tidal wave
swept over the state. Five congress
men were elected by the democrats
b comparison to three by the repub
licans. Governor Stubs was defeat
ed by over 10000 majority, and two
thirds of the Kansas counties elected
practically straight democratic tick
cts. The Democrats carried botf
branches of the legislature and the
repudiation of the republicans waf
complete and Overwhelming. AL
talk, therefore, upon the part of Mr.
Dolley, or anybody else, that Cappel
was counted out is the acme of ASSN
fly. Notwithstanding all the ex
travagant claims made by the friends
Of Mr.. Capper that he was the victim

that Samuel ID. Hausman, the aged
Seattle merchant who was taken into
custody several weeks ago, together
with other opium smugglers appre-
hended at this port, are members of
the international ring banded together
for the sole purpose of smuggling
opium. 1t is received on good author
ity that secret service investigators
from the Washington Office of the Gus
toms department have been following
up threads leading to the conviction
of those implicated in the mammoth
scheme, and that representative
from headquarters is now at work in
Honolulu. ri.
The cable dispatch to the Star-Bul-
letin yesterday stated that as the re-
suit of the confessions of John w.
Rogers, Marion Bergman and Charlie

plot to smuggle the hop. .
