INTEREST IN

State Will Not be Stirred as

Topeka, Kan. April 23.-Kansas
faces a wartime election with every
indication that 1t will fail to stir the
state as have elections In peace times.
Wrapped up>in war activities. the state
is showing little interest in coming
events In political circles.
At the primaries, August s. candi-
dates will be nominated for United
States senator, congressman. all state
Offices. the lower branch Of the state
legislature and county and township
Offices. In addition, candidates will
be selected for two state supreme
court ~justceships and for. twenty
judges of judicial districts. Nomina-
tions also will be made for one vac
ancy in the state senate. The general
election will be held November S.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the Republican nomination
for. United States senator. -Four can
didates have announced themselves.
They are Joseph L. Bristow. former
senator; Governor Arthur Capper,
Charles F. Scott. former congress
man, and Walter r.. Stubbs; former
governor. Senator William H.
Thompson, Democrat. whose term ex-
pires this year. probably will have no
opposition for the Democratic nomi-
nation.
Kansas will choose a full represen-
tation Of eight congressman at the fall
election. At present. it is indicated
that the three Republicans and five
Democrats now in Office will have
little opposition at the primaries.
Strong competition for the Repub.
lican nomination for governor is, indi.
Gated by the fact that four candidates
already have announced themselves
They are Henry J.. Allen, progressive
candidate for governor in 1914; S. NJ
