Ex-Goyernor Sends His Por-
trait to State House.
Old Tine Feud Kept His Pic
tire From the wall.
Mrs. Hodges Also PrOcures
Photograph Of Mrs. Bailey.

After having refused to permit
the hanging OF his picture the gov
efnol's Office during either the Hoch or
Stubbs administrations. former Gov
ernor Willis J. Bailey. OF Atc..Ison. to-
day sent a large portrait to the gov
ernor's office and It has been added to
the portraits OF the former chief ex-
ecutives OF Kansas. The picture today
was hung on the east wall in the gov
ernor's reception room. but will later be
placed on the north wall adjoining the
portrait Of w. E. Stanley, predecessor
OF Bailey in the governors chair.
In Kansas political circles there il a
story OF political discord that followed
the defeat Of Bailey for denomination in
the Wichita convention in 1904. During
Governor Bailey's first term, he was
severely criticised for many Of his Of
Hcial acts and when the state was pre-
sented with bill for groceries at the
executive mansion following the mar
riage of the only bach~'-- CO. .or
elected N Kansas. the matter became a
political issue. E. w. Hoch, who had
been defeated in the legislature of 1901
by the Clark-Allen combination in the
state prlntershtp fight. was nomina ted
by the Republican convention in 1904 as
the party candidate for governor.
An Old Feud.
1t was about that time that w r.
Stubs made his bow in Kansas poll
tics. and the feeling engendered in the
fight before the 1904 convention was
never entirely healed. After the cleo
ton of Hoch. an effort was made to
secure Governor Bailey's portrait to be
placed in the archives of the state
house. and among the former gov
errors OF the state. Bailey, 1t is
claimed. refused to permit the placing
of his picture In the office SO long as
Hoch was in the governors chair
Four years after Hoch retired from
office, w. r. Stubs became governor.
Efforts to secure Bailey's picture were
renewed. But to no avail. Nearly ten
years have lapsed since Bailey retired
from the gOvernorship and returned to
his Atchison bank. Never during that
time was Bailey's picture displayed in
the governors Office among the Dor
traits OF former executives
Some months ago another effort
was made to secure Bailey's portrait.
1t came today. With the placing of
Bafley's portrait in the governors Of
hce, Mrs. Hodges has received assur-
ances that she win soon receive a pic
ture of Mrs. Bailey. This picture is to
be placed among the portra is of
wives OF former governors to be
mounted in the governors mansion.
Mrs. Bailey was married to Governor
Bailey during his term Of office, it
being the only marriage Of a Kansas
governor during his official term.
