CHICAGO TRIBUNE COMMENTS

The Chicago Tribune, one of the
strongest and best known republican
newspapers in the United States, re-
Gently sent staff correspondent to
Kansas to write an article on politi-
cal conditions. This correspondent
commented fully from a republican
standpoint upon the prospects for the
election of republican ticket this
fall. The following excerpt taken
from the article published in the Tri-
bune is of particular interest.
At least two Of the democratic con-
gressmen, Jouett" Shouse in the Sew
enth and W. A. Ayres in the Eighth,
appear certain of reelection and il
is probable that the democrats will
gain a congressman in the Second in
Henderson Martin, former State
Chairman and Vice Governor Of the
Philippines. Martin is running against
E. c. Little, who voted against the
declaration of war. In the Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth Districts the demo-
cratic congressman are going to have
hard fight on their hands, as strong
opposition is being brought out
against the democratic representa-
tives in these districts. The repub-
licans appear safely entrenched in
the First and Third Districts"
Such a comment on political con-
ditions in the Seventh District is of
striking interest, coming from as
strong Republican newspaper as the
Chicago Tribune.

MAJOR BRoWS SEES BETTER
DAYS AHEAD FOR PRODUCER

Major W. L. Brown returned Tues
day from Washington where he had
been in session with the committee of
the food administration that deals
with the producing and price fixing
regulations. He stated that several
things of unusual Importance were
decided upon, notably affecting the
packing industry which is just now on
the carpet charged with profteering.
The interference Of certain congress
men with political axes to grind had
made it difficult for the food admins
tration to accomplish all it wanted to,
or needed to; and often enough the
very men who tried their best to ham,
per it, for political effect, were the
ones who were loudest in complaint
He believes the administration is 60
ing ahead on solid ground with firm
steps that will never be retraced, and
that it won't be long till every matter
of real Importance is attended to-

THOUGHT, WE HAD
BURNED UP HERE

W. W. Welter, manager of the
Western Newspaper Union, a print
ers supply house, was a Liberal visit
or the last of the week.
Mr.. Welter travelled this territory
for the house before being promoted
to manager and he was out renewing
old acquaintance.
Mr.. Welter was greatly surprised
at the evidences of good crops, say
ing that the salesman for this terri
tory had told him that everything
was burned up out here. 1t happen
ed that the salesman was here just
before the rain which made the wheat
crop, and at that time no one would
have ventured the assertion that any
wheat would be raised here. How
ever, the rain came in plenty Of time
and the result was changed. We
hastened to inform him that the
salesman was not feeding him hot
air, but that when it was made the
report was correct.
Which goes to prove that it is
never safe to predict anything in this
country.
