There is real work being done in
Topeka today-work for the candi-
dates before the August primaries.
When the 500 men and women go to
the banquet hall tonight, the plans
will be perfected for the big spring
and summer drives in the party. Yet
the men in the caucuses today attach
their oath and seal that party loyalty
shall not be broken in the pre-pri-
mary fights-bitter and rough tho
some of them may be.
Two Big Battles.
Real interest centers in the sena-
torial and gubernatoriai battles. 1t
is there men will fight and bleed and
die. No Mans Land will be covered
with lot of shattered hopes after the
August primaries. But the men who
direct the artillery fire and outline
the course of battle are determined
that the peace which follows shall be
more than mere scrap of paper Win
or lose in the primaries, they are Civ
ing their word and honor that they
will unite in their charge on the Bour-
bon trenches in the November cleo
ton.

not here for the banquet. He is on
his way to France to care for Ameri-
can soldiers in the trenches and in
the hospitals. But Aliens candidacy
isn't having an idle moment in the

big crowd which came from every fac

the Allen booster meeting ten days
ago is back working. And it came
back with reinforcements and new re-
cruits.
James A. Troutman, w. Y Morgan,
s. M. Brewster. A. NJ. Keene-all are
here in person Their friends are also
here. All are working faithfully. But

Not one took chance wearing badges
or buttons.
Mouth-to-Ear Tactics Used.
1t is whisper campaign which is
being conducted today. 1t is the best
chance for the expectorating cam
paigner in year. The Sherman coun-
ey wheat grower or the Crawford
county mine operator can't spend ten
minutes in the hotel lobby without
gathering an ear full of slobber and a
speech about a half dozen perfectly
worthy and ambitious candidates. The
oratorical flights come tonight. Until
the dinner hour. tho. the man with a
soggy stage whisper is in his element.
All of the United States senatorial
candidates, except Joseph L. Bristow,
are on the job in theiT own behalf.
Governor Cappe-, Charles F. Scott and
Walter Roscoe Stubs are right out in
the middle of the milling. They are
shaking hundreds of hands and hold
ing scores of conferences. Nor do the
loyal patriots who came to the dinner
f. rget their duty.
Great Day for Candidates.

No matter what the situation in the
state may be. No matter what the

candidate today is on a footing. He
has a willing audience. He may paint
his chances and hopes in the colors OF

heart to question a single word. To-
night fifty candidates should go to bed
happy and secure in the thought that
their nomination is as certain as the
coming of primary day.

German Propaganda Working.
The letter is particularly significant
at this time because it is known for
several months the government has
been cognizant of the insidious effects
of the German agents in South Amer
lea The Germans maintained an ef-
fective organization thruout the con-
tinent which for a long time the
United States had no effective means
of comba ting.
The improvement in the situation is
attributed to the policy of the United
States in seeking nothing for itself
except what it asks for every other
democracy in the world. That the
real aims and objectives of this coun-
try have finally been made clear is
attributed to a large extent to the i'm

Northern and Southern continents, the

Thus did the indirect object Of the
great German drive vindicate the superb
morale of the French people, if not of all
the Allies, in the face of the greatest
German attack and perhaps the great
est technical achievement of the whole
war.
The great paradox of the news Of the
last week has been the fact that Paris,
while always the principal though un-
named objective Of the German attack,
was saved from being all but ignored in
the news columns by the advent of the
German mystery gum that, on the third
day of the battle of Picardy, began shell
ing the capital of France from dis
lance of more than seventy miles. In
deed, it was not until French local re-
serves went into the battle and a with
drawal was made near Noyon that bat
tie communicates from Paris assumed the
Importance of those from London.
If cities have feelings. then Paris in
the first days CT the drive might have
felt little sighted. She, the proud city
of France, a goal for which millions Of
Germans had fallen, on the eve Of the
worlds greatest battle appeared likely
to occupy only an eddy in the news
stream until events took a different
turn. For, after all, the first objective
of the drive was Amiens. Then the Ger
mans hoped, by dividing the British
armies from the French, to advance in
simultaneous triumph down the Disc to
Paris and down the Somme to the Chan
mel ports.
Thus, until Amiens fell or new drive
developed, Paris might have been utterly
ignored but for another fact-that the
Germans also felt it necessary to shatter
French n )rale along with the British
armies. So Paris came back into the
headlines. While the British armies
were to be scattered before an unprece-
denied blast Of artillery fire and ire
sistible waves Of chosen shock troops, the
towers Of Paris were to be shattered by
giant shells coming from an appalling
and unheard-of distance. An engine Of
Teutonc horror, hidden in the impene-
trable depths of the Forest Of st. Gobain,
was to chill the heart of the worlds fair
est city.

sirens, the crash of bursting bombs and
the continuous roar Of the anti-aircraft
batteries. In addition, q subtle defeat
list" rumor Of unknown origin, predicting
mysterious events, and possibly revo-
luton, was somehow spread abroad in
the city during the week end preceding
the opening OF the battle.
On Thursday the drive opened, with
the French taking little part in the first
action. Friday night Gothas again
bombed the city. Then on Saturday, for
the first time since May, 1915, the Huns
made a daylight raid, one of three such
excursions during the day. In addition,
the mysterious gun dropped its first shell
into the city about 30 a. m.
1t was hours before the city realized
that more than ? mere air raid was oc-
curing. This is interestingly Illustrated

paris simply has found something else to
shrug its shoulders over, and to say, 'Cest

During all this time, of course, Paris
watched the progress of the great bat
tie, and noted with pride the vigor of
the first French participation. Paris we'll

the Allied lire she would be the first to
suffer. Visions of the days OF the
