KANSAS POLITICS

There has been considerable dis
cussion as to what effect Bryan
would have on the middle states in
this coming campaign. Some of the
Democratic politicians have been at
tempting to show that, owing to the
Bryan influence in the central states,
several of those state would have a
fair chance to be placed in the Demo-
cratic column along with the south
ern states.
Over in Kansas according to their
state primary law all those who will
be in the coming state campaign as
candidates for the various state Of
fices had to have their nominations
filed last week and the result of those
filings indicate which is the domi-
nant party in the Sunflower state.
In that state there are from two
to four candidates for every state Of
flee on the Republican ticket except
for governor. This condition is also
true with reference to the congress
sional elections. On the other hand
there is but single contest in the
Democratic primaries. This fact is
significant. 1t requires no explana-
ton to one who has been observing
in politics. All know that the pri-
mary contests are in the dominant
party. The minority party never
has many aspirants for office. Not
many can afford to spend time and
money when the odds are against
them. They run only under the most
favorable circumstances and on the
assumption that they have the right
of way in the party.

Sugar Prices and Canning.

1t is estimated about half the
housewives in this section have made
up their minds to can no fruit this
season on account Of the high price
of sugar. This decision has been
reached in a haphazard way without
reason and it appears to be up to
somebody to do some missionary
work in favor of home canning. Most
women use maximum Of a quarter
to a third of pound of sugar in
each quart of fruit canned. Now
sugar is three cents a pound above
normal, and assuming that third
of pound is used in each jar, the
additional price for canning, brought
by the high price of sugar is, at most
only one cent per jar. Few women
analyze these figures. They merely
say nine pounds of sugar for dol
lar? | can't afford to put up fruit
at such high prices" and they let it
go at that. Why don't our retail
grocers put in canning window or
counter display. Prepare card
showing exactly what the advanced
price of sugar really means, and back
it up with a display of fruit jars, and
fruit for canning.
