Curtis Myers, who has charge of
the automobile Department of the Of
fee of Secretary of State, went to
Hutchinson last week to attend the
state fair and to look over the auto
mobiles gathered there to see how
many of them might not be carrying
state tags.
1--WE are just trying to determine
whether it will be necessary to keep
a man on the road to look after the
enforcement of the new state auto
mobile license law" said Secretary of
State Sessions, land, from Myers re-
port / am inclined to think it will
not be necessary. Myers saw only
four cars without state tags and on
investigation found that they were
new ones, that the owners, with
single exception, had applied for Ii
censes through their county clerks and
had paid license fees. We are trying to
keep before the local authorities
throughout the state the fact that
the enforcement of the law is up to
them, and they appear to be attend
ing to the matter very WELL"

Interest in the campaign which
Senator ]. r. Bristow will make for
reelection is awakening over the
state, as well as in the names of
those who will compete with him for
the Republican nomination. Bristow
has been the object of various at
lacks from Progressives on account
of his vote against the Underwood
tariff bill and the fact that he did
not intend to make a campaign for
Progressive support. Standpat Re-
publicans at Topeka claim that he
forsees the reunion of the branches
of his party in the state before the
next primaries and that he is banking
on a return of straight Republican
ism.
