and extends for several miles from

Everything is hustle and hurry
trucks loaded with supplies rolled

were coming and going in all direc-
tons; motorcycles flashed here and
there; thousands of soldiers and civil
ians were to be seen on all sides But
above all, was the industry of the
place, the immense amount of work
being done and to be done.
To the person who has known these
flats in their old days, when they were
covered with heavy growth of prairie

I'VE might as well look matters in
the face, tho said Scott. 1T makes
no difference how the individual may
feel, there can be no peace until there

is because of the great program be-
fore this nation in national and in
ternational affairs during the next six

United States senate will stand out as

Importance.
War and Candidates.
There is no question but that the
war will have a decided effect on the
primaries and possibly on the election
next year. The attitude of the candi-
dates will be matter of concern and
the position they take will unques-
tionably concern voters and enter
into the results"
Scott's recent speeches have urged
a prosecution of the war to final and
successful conclusion. He does not eX-
pect to begin campaign for the Re
publican senatorial nomination until
after the first of the year. Some
weeks ago Mr. Scott was elected pres
ident of Emporia college and devoted
much of his time to the work OF the
school Recently it was rumored that
he might not be a candidate for the
senatorship. inasmuch as he was be-
ing considered as a probable success
sor to DIR. Waters.

decline something that has not been
offered" said Scott, but I am not
considering nor do 1 expect to con-
slider any work which would tend to
keep me out of the campaign next
year"
