FOR STATE TREASURER
Matt Weightznan Is Urged to Get in
Race.

Although It is understood that prac-
tically every official at the court
house is q candidate for reelection,
three county officers are reported to be
seeking state jobs. Matt Weightman,
who is prevented by law from running
again for county treasurer, has been
mentioned as a possible candidate for
state treasurer. Robert Tasker, reg
lister of deeds. is considering entering
the state race for, the office of auditor.
1t has been suggested that George H.
Whitcomb Of the Second division Of the
district court seek election as supreme
judge.
Matt Weightman is the only county
officer who will not seek denomination.
According to optimistic officials at the
court house, the end of the county po-
litical race Is practically assured. There
will probably be no three cornered fight
in Shawnee county. With the exception
of W. E. Atchis0n, county attorney, all
the county officers are Republicans.

for state auditor. 1t was understood
that Matt Weightman wanted the Of
flee Of state treasurer. Earl Akers'
announcing himself a candidate for re-
election on the straight Republican
ticket may deter Mr.. Weightman from
entering the scrap.
For months friends of Judge Whit
comb have been urging him to run on
the Republican ticket for Judge Of the
supreme court. His plans are not ma
tured.

TEACHERS are HERE.


Nearly zoe Kansas teachers are here
today to dbcuss needed legislation
and to elect the first salaried secre-
tary of the State Teachers associa-
ton. There are two avowed candt-
dates for the secretaryship-Mrs.
w. B. Welmer of Kinsley. A Sec
rotary will be elected Saturday after
noon. The salary of the ONCE Will
probably be $4,000 year.
Many legislative measures were
discussed this afternoon by the teach
ganization known as the state educa-
tional council One of the plans to
be worked out Is the placing of a
lobby In Topeka during the next leg
islative session, which will have the
backing of the state association and
can accomplish real results. In for
mer years the lack of proper or
eanization has prevented effective
work among the teachers sent to To-
peka to ask for school legislation.
Among the measures which may be
demanded by the teachers will be in
cluded:
County unit system.
institutes.
Compulsory consolidation schools
with less than ten pupils
Demand for better school books
District ownership text books.
Supplementary readers furnished by
districts.
Office assistants in superintendent 8
Office of counties employing more than
70 teachers.
Increased travelling expenses for
superintendent.
Uniform regulations regarding new
school buildings.
Specific requirements for parochial
and private schools.
Permanent teachers certificate law.
Provision for grading examination
papers by state board of examiners.
State aid for INDECENT teachers who
have taught rs years in schools of
the state.
Other suggestions for school legis-
lation may be made, but these SUBJ
jects cover principally the demands of
the teachers at the hands of the next
legislature. 1t was to discuss needs of
new legislation and to elect the first
paid secretary in the history of the
state association that the teachers
came to Topeka. Two candidates
mentioned for the secretaryship are
Mrs. Caroline B. Spangler Of Law
renee and w. b. Weltmer Of Kinsley.
It is probable that other candidates
will announce before the election
Saturday afternoon. While no def
mite salary has been fixed. 1t is prob
able that the new secretary will be
paid $2,5O0 a year.
