JUDGE THOMPSON HERE
United States SenatOr-elect Meets
Friends-Surc of Election.

Judge William H. Thompson, of
Garden City, United States senator
elect, is in Topeka smiling and conf
dent of his election by a unanimous
vote. The Democratic senator-elect
will remain in Topeka until after the
confirmation of his election by the leg
islature.
There has never been the slightest
question as to the course the legisla-
ture will take in the United States SEN
atorial matter said Judge Thompson.
Il have personal letters from 40 of
the 165 members of the Legislature,
pledging me their support and 1 am
confident there will not be a single
vote against me. The people have
caucused and decided the United States
senatorship and practically every
member of the legislature is of the
opinion that there is nothing to do but
to confirm their decision"
Among the legislative members there
is no discussion of the United States
senatorship. In their minds it is
matter that is already settled and
members of both houses are giving
their attention to the important ques-
ton surrounding the organization of
the two houses and the division of the
committee appointments and general
patrOnage.
