Topeka.-By January Of next year
It is likely that both the Republican
and Democratic state committee will
have new chairmen ]. N. Dolley
some time ago resigned the Republic
an state chairmanship, when he joined
the Bull Moose party. w. H. L. Pep
perell. chairman of the Democratic
committee, has been appointed inter
nal revenue collector for Kansas and
will resign the committee chairman
ship soon, according to Democratic
political folks.
. The man most mentioned to head
the Republican committee is Secretary
of State Charles H. Sessions. In fact.
he is about the only one who Is being
talked of for the place. Sessions wide
acquaintance throughout Kansas and
his acknowledged ability as a leader
makes him a great favorite for the
place. 1t is not at all likely, according
to the present ideas, that the Repub-
lican state committee will meet until
after the Republican national commit
tee holds its meeting late this fall A
great reorganization Of the Republican
state committee will take place.
Charles M. Sawyer of Norton, state
bank commissioner, is great favorite
with the Democrats to succeed Pep
iperell. Sawyer is widely known, is a
great organizer, and many Democrats
feel that he is an ideal man to lead
their committee.
The Democratic committee is expect
ed to meet early this fall, although no
time has as yet been set. 1t is said
that the active battle for next years
campaign will not really open until the
annual Washingtons birthday dinner
in Topeka on February % of next
year. William ]. Bryan is to be the
gathering is expected to bring the
principal speaker at that dinner. This
Democratic forces to Topeka and 1t is
likely that the campaign will be set In
motion at that time.
