be able to command practically his
former strong following in event he
climbed into the race against Capper,
Scott and Bristow.
Every faction in the Republican
party in Kansas was represented at
the meeting. Large delegations came
from Ki"wa. Reno. Sedgwick, Harvey
and other counties. Many of the
Sixth district counties. as well as
counties in the eastern and southeast
ern sections of the state were repre-
sented. Bankers, business men, law
yers, doctors and many farmers and
stock raisers were here for the meet
ing. A number of men in Topeka for
the agricultural society sessions, were
presented when the conference was
called.
Friends Poll State.
"In the last three weeks / have
taken more or less interest in senator
ial matters" Stubbs told newspaper
men. MY friends have polled more
than twenty-five counties and we have
a pretty clear indication as to the
sentiments of my friends in former
campaigns. These expressions have
come from more than half of the
counties of the state-hundreds of
, them. Only three men active in po-
litical affairs in these. counties, who
were formerly with me, haye discour-
aged my running. 1t is upon my for
: support if I get in this fight. And 1
believe they will be for me-to say
nothing of offers of support from
many men and women who have been
against me in the past. l believe i
will carry my former support almost
solidly. And in that event I can win
, this nomination hands down.
Stubs made clear his purpose to
wage one of his old-time spectacular
wars in event he became a candidate
/ for the senate. His friends in Topeka
today were certain the former COVER
nor would run. They declared they
were assured of practically the solid
support of his former workers and a

Kansas farmers, according to S. d.
Flora, meteorologist, were presented
with a gift of $50,000,000 from the
skies today.
Railroad offices asserted that the
snow which has fallen in the last few
hours over the central Kansas wheat
belt totals from A to 6 inches. Flora
substantiated the report. saying that
the blanket of white can easily be re-
garded as worth $50, 900, 900, for had
it not fallen the wheat crop in
short time would have been "goner-"
Conditions preceding the snow were
serious Since wheat in Kansas was
planted it has been held back by lack
of moisture. The last government re-
port placed it in poor condition, 10 per
cent to be exact.
The snow today is the first one of
any great consequence since January
1. 1916. in the wheat belt, according to
Flora. Lack of snow was to great
extent responsible for the light wheat
crop last year.
The Santa Fe general managers Of
flee here today said that the four to
six inches of snow extends from To-
peka to farther west than Newton and
north to Superior, embracing all the
heart OF the gram Delt. southern
/ Kansas at noon today was covered
with from one-half to one inch of
snow and light snow was falling in the
eastern part of the state and in Okla
home.
Whole State Covered.
/ For the first time in two years the
| entire state of Kansas is buried under
one big blanket of snow. From Den
yer to Kansas City and south to the
northern edge of Oklahoma. the fleecy
covering this morning made the
ground seem even and without harsh
curves. incidentally for the first time
this year the small boy has opportun-
ity to brighten the runners of his SLED
and to risk death and destruction
: while being pulled behind a speeding
automobile. The one and one-half
| inches of snow on the ground at
o'clock this morning registered as 9
inch of moisture here. but it is doubt
full if the effect of the moisture will
have any effect on the juvenile mind
except to dampen its uncertain ardor
