GRIMES PICKS ALLEN
Former State Treasurer Will Support
Him for Governor.

Frank E. Grimes of Topeka, former
state treasurer, is for Henry J. Allen
for the Republican nomination for
governor. Grimes was state treasurer
when Allen was private secretary to
Governor Stanley. Because he always
knew where Allen stood on a public
issue, Grimes formed a lasting admira-
ton for the Wichita editor.
What a consolation it will be to
the fathers and mothers of Kansas to
know that such a man as Henry j..
Allen will look after their boys in
France" said Grimes. And he will
be a governor who will be true to his
party and his friends"

MANY hdkc HrOtcStS.
AdviceS from Leavenworth assert
that the order to discontinue service
on the road is causing opposition and
protest all along the line. 1t is espec-
tally desired that train service be kept
up at this time to supply people living
along the line with coal, and unless
this is done, reports say. schools will
be closed and much suffering in many
homes will result.
Few people living along the road
have any great coal supply, and hard
ship and suffering would result from
abandonment. Judge Pollock has been
flooded with kilograms from shippers

at the head, to junk the road.
Topeka shippers were loud in their
opposition to the plan to junk the road
