formal organization for the fight next
fall None of the Bourbon leaders
has advanced the name of a new can
didate for state chairman whose po-
Iitical sagacity is regarded as suf-
ficient to place him in charge of the
battle. E. E. Murphy, present chair
man, is not a candidate for reelection.
None the less the job may again be
wish on the Leavenworth man. So far
there has been no open opposition to
his reelection and the one task may
be to convince Murphy that he should
take over the work of directing the
campaign.
w. C. Markham of Baldwin is a
candidate for secretary of the Repub-
lican state committee. To date he has
no open opposition.
Harrison Parkman of Emporia, for
mer state fire marshal, has been urged
as secretary of the Democratic state
committee.
Parkman's work in the campaigns
of 1912-14 gave him recognition as a
man of no mean ability. Largely due
to his efforts, Lyon county twice lined
up in the Democratic column and a
Democrat was sent to congress from
the Fourth district in two successive
elections. A H. Gillis of Kansas City,
probable candidate for the secretary

With the realization of the hardest
I sort of a campaign ahead of them, the
Democrats will this year use care and
discretion in the selection of campaign
directors, it is asserted. For that rea-
son the Bourbons are combing the
! state in their efforts to find strong
men for the jobs.

BY j. p. YODER.


Washington, July 4.-Cessation of
the main part of the great allied drive
on the Somme within ten days-with-
out crushing the Germans-was the
prediction of military experts here to-
day. The gigantic fight was termed
1.-THE final effort of the allies to force
Germany into making an acceptable
peace" but in the experts judgment
this purpose will fail of accomplish
ment, even though the British may
spectacularly force their way through
first and second German lines.
I'm my opinion, said one of the
foremost United States experts the
allies will find as previously, that the
Germans will hold them. 1 am per-
fectIy neutral in this matter. but have
believed Just such move was coming
for more than a year. The English
men apparently were urged to this
great battle by the successes Of the
Russians in Bukowina. Some people
have thought Russia was about done
for but this remarkable drive seems
to have given the allies new courage.
Yet the Russian seems to lack the
something necessary to make MS VIC
tory complete.
Creeping Close to Verdun.
when the Englishman saw how
the Russian was progressing, he
thought it was zine to start some
thing himself. And, too, the Verdun
situation influenced the latest move,
for you can see on the map that the
Germans have been creeping closer to
Verdun until they reached within
three miles by taking Fleury.
1.-The allies theory apparently is
| that the German has had a central
reserve force, which he could shift to
| hard pressed points at will, but 1 be-
leve the allies have underestimated
Germany's strength. They are going
| on the idea that by hammering at all
| fronts they could prevent the German
from shifting about this supposed GEN.
| trail reserve, and thus pierce the Ger
man line at some point.
| Reveals Weakness OF War.
ct don't believe this can be done
The Englishman will make a stalemate
and this probably will make the think
| ing men of both sides realize that the
| time is coming soon when settlement
! of the war must be made in the for
eign offices rather by continuance OF
military efforts.
You probably will find that the
greater part of this new offensive will
| be over in ten days and that the allies
| will have been checked as before. Siz
| months from now you will doubtless
discover that this prediction as to the
peace of the Somme drive been sub
stantiated.''

NEED STRONG men
Kansas Political Parties Are
Looking for Leaders.
Both Realize There Is a Hot
Fight Ahead. err,
MURPHY MAY Be CALLED AGAIN
The LeavenwOrth Man May Di-
rect Democrat Affairs.
Ed Greer Is Mentioned for Re-
publican Chairman.
MURPHY MAY Be CALLED AGAIN

Both political parties in Kansas are
disturbed concerning the selection of
campaign leaders for next fall. Neither
the men high in the affairs of the
Republican or the Progressive parties
have definitely determined the state
craftsmanship question, which must be
settled in the party councils in Au-
gust. 1t is probable that E. E. Murphy
of Leavenworth may again be called
upon to direct the affairs of the DEM
Gratis, while Ed Greer, of Marion is
the only candidate advanced by the
Republicans.
Both parties feel keenly the need
of strong men at the head of their
state committee. The Republicans not
only desire to swing Kansas behind
Hughes in the presidential fight, but
they want to win back a few congress
sional jobs and take a safe grip on
both branches of the legislature. There
is little real worry in Republican
ranks concerning the success of the
state ticket Republican leaders are
confident they will elect the state tick
ct by an unusually heavy majority, and
hope for a big majority behind
Hughes. But some real generalship
may be necessary to win back some
of the congressional districts now con-
trolled by the Democrats. Both par
ties will also fight hard for control
of the legislature.
Planning for Hot Fight.
The work OF the campaign is already
receiving consideration at the hands
of the men who direct political af-
fairs in Kansas. With the primaries
nearly a month away, both Repub-
ans and Democrats are planning for
red hot fight in this state after the
nomination of party candidates and
adoption of party platforms.
The party platforms will not be
written until the candidates and coun-
ty chairmen meet in Topeka late in
August. At the same time both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans will elect state
| chairmen and lay plans for the CAM
| paign. Workers in both parties now
assert that the big fireworks in Kan
sas will be lighted not later than Sep
| TENDER is. That will mean a seven
weeks campaign before the election.
| Recently the track was cleared for
the election of Ed Greer to a place on
the Marion county central committee.
A number of political observers be-
lieve that he will be placed at the head
| of the Marion county committee. That
will make him eligible for the state
craftsmanship and his election will be
urged by number of Republicans
Gafford Too Busy.

man, is hardly expected to be a can

affairs will not permit Gafford to de-
vote his time to the campaign. it is as
