BACK TO KANSAS
Henderson Martin Is Coming
Home About Aug. 1.
Probably VIII Take a Hand in
the Campaign.
BUT WON'T RUN FOR GOVERNOR
Job in Manila Now Carries a
Salary of S16,5OO.
Devote His Vacation to Demo-
cratic Cause i'm Kansas.
|UT WON'T RUN FOR GOVERNOR

Henderson S. Martin, vice governor
of the Philippine Islands, will return
to Kansas about August 1 and will
participate in the campaign. Friends
of Martin have urged him to make the
race for governor, but his letter to a
friend in this state does not indicate
whether he will return merely to
make speeches for the party or to
fight for his own election.
For more than a year, Kansas
Democrats have urged Martins can
didacy for the governorship. But
Martin was not inclined to play his
chances against forlorn hopes-espe-
cially in view of the fact that his job
in Manila carries a salary of $16,5OO
a year. SO Martin has sent several
letters to Kansans in which he ex-
pressed appreciation for long distance
nominations but did not feel disposed
to spare the time and salary which a
campaign for the Kansas governor
ship would require.
Help Direct Fight.
Now Martin is at least coming home
to help direct the fight in this state
1t is probable that he will devote his
entire vacation period to the cam
paign in Kansas and may be here from
August until October or Novem Der.
In 1912 Martin was chairman of the
Democratic state committee. He di-
rected the fight which resulted in the
defeat of Governor Capper. w. r.
Stubbs and five Republican congress-
men and both branches of the state
Legislature. Following the election of
Governor Hodges Martin was ap-
pointed chairman of the public utili-
ties commission. He resigned when
President Wilson gave him the ap-
pointment as vice governor of the
Philippine Islands. Martin s>cs made
one trip to the United States since his
appointment. Now he is coming home
to play politics with the old guard.
