MYERS is RICHEST OF
ALL KANSAS SENATOR'S

Topeka Capital Senator w. Il
Myers Of Wakefield, Clay county
received a grueling initiation into
the senate, by being forced, as chair
man of the committee on elections,
to conduct the hearing on the Mahin-
Whitney contest, which was decid
ed in favor of a Democrat by a Re-
publican committee. Every vote of
Senator Myers has indicated that
he favors the so-called new deal
in politics, but with a playful hope
of creating some excitement, his
committee introduced a substitute
bill providing for the repeal of the
primary law for state offices. Sen
ator Myers, a banker, is said to be
the wealthiest member Of the sem
ate.
