Fate of a presidential preference

the Republicans of Kansas when the
state committee meets in Topeka Sat
urday, January 20. Secretary Han
cock of Hutchinson will probably is
sue call late today for meeting of
the state committee to be held in To-
peka Kansas day. At that time a date
for a state convention TO select dele
gates to the Republican national con-
vention will be determined.
sentiment expressed in Topeka Kan
sas day probably will determine the
attitude of Kansas Republicans to-
ward the holding of a presidential
preference primary The state has no
legal provisions for a presidential pri-
mary. Even though arrangements
might be perfected for the unprotect-
ed primary, it would be necessary to
hold a state convention and ratify the
action of the primaries.
Early Action Urged.
Early action of the state committee
has been urged by men prominent in
the Republican party. They want a
prompt decision as to the time of Sc
lecting delegates to the national con-
vention and sentiment among state
leaders in Topeka seems to indicate a
desire for an early convention. 1t is
possible that a convention may be
called as early as March 15-prob-
ably not later than April 1.
J. G. Gafford, chairman of the Re-
publican state committee. is in Pasa-
dena. Calf. He has recently been
sick and has been in California nearly
two months. Before leaving the state,
he authorized Secretary Hancock to
call the state committee together at
such time as seemed advisab BILE. Tele-
grams are said to have been sent to
the secretary today urging a meeting
f.F
The committee is composed of the
county chairmen in each of the 1O5
counties of the state. Hancock is
chairman of the Reno county Repub-
hcan committee.
Record Attendance Expected.
Information received in Topeka
point to a record attendance of Re-
publican workers at the twenty-fifth
annual banquet of Kansas Day club
January 90. Many of the county
chairmen are coming to Topeka for
the annual party dinner and call for
a state committee meeting for that
date is expected to bring the entire
committee together.
Progressives within the Republican
party have urged the holding of
preference primaries and instruction
of delegates to the national conven-
ton. Their plan will be laid before
the committee at the meeting this
Ihohth ana ueIihlle acllon VIII De
taken at that time. opposition to the
primary plan is based on the argu-
ment that the state law makes no pro-
vision for presidential primaries and
that such primaries cannot be
financed or safeguarded in a legal
manner.
The issue concerning a primary and
instructions will be Fought out in the
hotel Hobbies in advance of the ban
quet. Interest in the controversy is
expected to add to the crowd which
will come to Topeka for the big party
love feast-or smash-up-as the state
committee may determine.

AN ELECTRIC HAND
German Genius Invents Limb to Re
place Those Lost in War.

Berlin, Jan. 12.-CVia London. -
After years of experiment Director
Klingenberg of the General Electric
company has announced the perfection
of an artificial electro ma ghetto
hand" with which it is possible to
grasp even the heaviest metal objects
and work with them as advantageous
ly as with a human hand.
DR.. Klingenberg has evolved an I'M
usually powerful battery which can be
carried by the operator, making it
unnecessary for him to be near an
electric current in order to make use
of the hand. The invention, it is said.
can perform all the functions of the
human hand and others beside. The
current is regulated by a switch oper-
ated by hand or foot. 1t is hoped that
the invention will solve the problem of
livelihood for many crippled soldiers.
enabling them to engage even in
trades requiring considerable manual
deXterity such as carpentery.

At the Orpheum.
Katherine Kaelred. who gives re-
mar ris,;i eharacterization az the star
OF The Winged Idol" now showing
at the Orpheum, has the reputation of
being the most accomplished siren on
the American stage. She made her
first appearance under the direction
of Thomas H Ince in 1.-The Winged
Idol" Few there are who are un-
familiar with the work of Miss kael-
red on the legitimate stage. For a
number of years she has scored heaV-
lily in successful Broadway produc-
tons, but it was principally by her
sensational Interpretation of the wom-
on in "A Fool There Was" that she
compelled the critics to recognize her
wonderful ability. Under Mr.. Ince's
direction Miss Kaelred found unusual
scope for her talents. In her face
there are the fleeing emotions expect
ed of the finished artist, but il is in
the use of her hands and arms that
she is the most wonderful. Her slight
est gesture has a meaning and sug-
guests all the fire and passion that her
role demands.
At the Iris.
Mary Pickford in 1.-The Founding"
is at the Iris this afternoon and to-
night. The same picture will be shown
tomorrow. People attend the Iris to
see Mary Pickford regardless of the
play in which she appears but The
Founding fits Mary PiclSford to the
r. Put Mary Pickford in play where
she can impersonate some feature or
the many features of tragic life, full
of pathos yet frightened here and
there with care free characteristics
and humorous events and Mary Pick
ford will appear to the best advantage.
1.-The Founding gave her this oppor-
tunity.

gree to content us with our lot
