Simpson Of Mcpherson county,
was for many years a potent

was for many years potent
force in Kansas politics. Dur
ing his active career. which covered
something like a quarter Of century.
Republican gathering Of importance
and general interest was not complete
without the presence Of Jim" Simp-
son, and few Kansans were more widely
known. A good mixer, thoroughly posted
as to all the angles Of fractional align
ment and local alliances. shrewd and
a keen Judge Of men, Simpson was an
effective force in whatever camp the
fortunes of politics placed him. In eau
Gus and convention methods he was
adept cautious, resourceful and quick
to take advantage Of an opponents
weakness.
Several years ago-just how many
years we won't say for the reason that
the subject Of this story has ruled that
names and dates must be excluded
Simpson was a partisan Of certain can
didate for a Republican caucus nomi-
nation for United States Senator. It
goes without saying that it was before
the days of direct primaries. There
were six or seven candidates, and as is
usual in such contests one Of the can
didates had developed so strong fol-
lowing that the field had combined
against him, insofar as was necessary,
and possible, to prevent his complete
control Of the caucus.
Simpson and his friends had been in
complete control Of the convention in
Mcpherson county which had nominated
all the candidates for county ONCE, in
GLIDING Representative. The Represen-
tative elected had been nominated for
a second term, not because he was sat
isfactory to Simpson and his friends but
because to use the power they had, and
deny him a second term would upset
a two term precedent which had been
for many years, and might
lead to embarrassment in subsequent
Simpson knew that this
particular man was not friendly to the
candidate favored by ma
jority Of the delegates in the county con-
vention, but concluded to try to tie him
with instructions.
So before the county convention,
Simpson sought out the Representative.
who was naturally DESTROYS Of a second

on your instructions was so mad that

since have thought It over, feel bet
ter about It because I know that you
are following your conscientious con-
victions, and I'm not going to say any
thing more about It. haven't asked
you to do anything this winter, and I'm
not going to. after tonight. But I am
going to lay down on you to vote for
an adjournment OF that caucus tonight,
If we don't nominate after the third or
fourth ballot"
Now Simpson would have lost a leg
rather than have the caucus adjourned,
but he made a desperate lay-down on
his Representative to vote for adjourn
ment Just the same. And the more he
insisted, the sulkier and less communi-
cative became the Representative.
Finally, he left the lobby to get away
from Simpsons insistence and he did
not show up around any Of the sena-
torial headquarters before the caucus.
He came into Representative Hall.
where the caucus was held, Just before
the balloting began. Three ballots were
taken without choice, but with the
candidate Simpson favored well in the
lead. Then came the anticipated mo-
ton to adjourn. A roll call was de-
manded, and 1t began amid scenes of
confusion. Everyone understood that
the final test Of the strength of the lead
ing candidate was being taken, and 1t
was understood that every member who
voted against adjournment was really
in favor of the leading candidate. with
out regard to how his votes had been
cast previously.
The Representative from Mcpherson
sat silently in his seat, his eyes fixed
on Jim" Simpson. He had had expe-
Renee with Simpson in many caucus
and convention fights, and he knew just
one thing for sure. That was, that what
Jim" Simpson wanted, he didn't want.
And when his name was called, he
1oted mo" so loud as to make some
'olks think he wanted to be heard in

His vote created sensation, 1t was
70 unexpected. Members with whom he

rhe candidate he had been supporting
ushed to him, but he was 80 excited
hat he was speechless. Before he could
xplain the situation, the roll call had
zen completed and the result was an
ounced. The motion to adjourn had
cen lost by one vote. Meanwhile, Simp-
on was enjoying much the same SEN
atoms as did the cat that ate the ca
airy. And incidentally, he was reflect

vention, vote was taken to determine
the choice Of the delegates for United
States Senator. More delegates ex-
pressed themselves for the candidate
favored by Simpson than were for all
the other senatorial candidates. Be-
fore the Representative was renomi-
mated he stated to the convention that
while he personally favored another SEN
atorial candidate-and by the way this
particular senatorial candidate was the
one who above all others Simpson did
not want-that he would regard the con-
vention's action as an instruction and
would abide by 1t.
He made his word good, until after
election. Then he became active in
support Of his own choice, much to Simp-
sons disgust and indignation. Simp-
son knew his man too well though, to
attempt to persuade him to change his
course. He simply bided his time, took
the chaffing imposed by his friends over
the detection Of the instructed Repre-
sentative good naturally, and devoted
himself to perfecting the organization
behind the candidate he favored.
The afternoon before the senatorial
caucus, it became apparent that If an
adjournment could be prevented after
three or four ballots on which no choice
had been made, stampede would ensue
and Simpsons choice would be named
that night. This feeling pervaded the
opposition too, and strenuous efforts
were made to line up every possible
to vote for an adjournment af-
ter the third or fourth ballot. Mean.
while, the supporters Of the candidate
with whose fortunes Simpson had cast
his lot, were striving nightly to per-
feet an organization that would pre-
vent an adjournment. Noses had been
counted carefully and 1t was known that
The fight would be very close. so close
indeed that one or two votes either way
night change the result.
The Representative from Mcpherson
county was supporting candidate who
vas comparatively new to politics. The
himself was not acute
'nough to know, without being posted,
ust what the significance of the vote
IN adjournment might be. and he was
70 enthusiastic for his candidate that
simpson figured that his vote would be
AIKEN for granted and that he had not
een posted. He searched his Repre-
entative out in the old Copeland lobby
nd Unanswered him into a corner and
aid:

Rev. II. L. Davis Of the First

text. "Wherefor he saith. when he
assembled up on high, he led cap
tivity captive and gave gifts unto

marks on the latter part of this
verse. pointing out that there are
two great powers in the world bust

The speaker explained how God
in his love had given two great
gifts TO men. the gift of memory
and the gift Of imagination through
