AMBITIONS OF NEELEY
Said to Embrace Senatorial Nominal
ton Next Year. .

Does Congressman George A. Neeley of
the Seventh district plan to enter the
United States senatorial race next year?
Several reports from the big Seventh in
the senatorial race next year and is al
ready outlining campaign against
United States Senator Joseph L. Bristow.
Neeley's recent articles on the investiga-
ton by the money trust committee are
given as foundation for the theory that
on a bigger job. The Neeley money trust
articles have been published in a number
of Kansas papers. In his last article,
Medley devoted much space regarding
Senator Bristows alleged lethargy in the
struggles of the committee to gain needed
senate.
Whether the Neeley attack on Bristow
is merely a clever political move to dis
credit the senior Kansas senator, or is the
foundation for boom that may put the
author in the senatorial running next
year. is matter which may not be
solved for some weeks Should Neeley get
in the race, it would complicate matters
for at least two reasons. The Seventh
district already has one United States
senator and in W. L. Qronjaw) Brown has
a candidate for the second place. In view
of the fact that Thompson went to the
senate from the Seventh last year. it is
hardly believed that running would be
smooth for two candidate from the same
district next year. So Neeley's articles
initiation of Bristow before the coming
campaign.
Should Neeley decide, however, to enter
the race for the Democratic senatorial
race next year, new scramble would be
made for the Seventh district congress
kinsley would probably make a fight for
this Democratic nomination.

Will Quit June place to Seaton.

John Marshall. for two years attor-

will retire June 1 and devote his atten-
ton to private practice in Topeka, &C.
cord1ng to announcement made today
at the offices of the commission. Sam
uel Seaton, pardon and parole clerk in
the governors Office, will probably be-
come the nominal attorney to the COM
mission, although he will continue his
work under Governor Hodges and will
draw only the salary now paid him az
pardon clerk.
1t is because of the effort of the
Democratic administration to make
further reductions in the operating ex-
penSeS at the state house, it is claimed,
that the new policy will be established.
This plan will enable the commission
to save $1,000 during the two years of
their administration and to turn this
money back into the treasury. Both
Henderson S. Martin, chairman of the
commission, and Judge Helm are law
yers and with the work which Seaton
will perform, it is claimed that the
legal department of the commission can
be taken care of. Seaton was for a
number of years an active practicing
attorney in Johnson county.
John MarShalPS term of Office expires
about June 1. He has not sought reap
pofntment and at the offices of the utili-
ties commission it is today claimed

practice after the expiration of my
term said Mr.. Marshall today after
confirming the report that he is soon
to retire as attorney to the commits
sion. Marshall however, denies the
report that he is to enter into a part
nership with Fred S. Jackson. They
discussed partnership program sew
eral weeks go, Marshall said, but made
no agreement. Marshall will now open
an independent office.
