Noble, of Labette county. has bill
before the legislature for the absolute
repeal of the present statewide pri-
mary. There is grave doubt in the
minds of many of the men in the lob
bies and corridors today as to the
ability of the aHti-primary workers
to force the Noble bill through the
present session. Probably a majority
of the men attending todays powwow
and love feast, however, are sworn
enemies of the primary system which
in their judgment has destroyed party
organiza ton and resulted in the de
feats which have occasioned sorrow
in the Republican ranks during the
last ten years. 1t is probable that as
result of the gatherings today,
some program may be perfected for
at least a modification of the existing
law and permitting of the holding of
state and district delegate conventions
fof the nomina ton of state and con-
gressional candidates and selection of
delegates to general conventions.

Presidency Fight Impending.
There is just one fight before the
dinner club this year-that of the
presidency. A contest for the secre-
taryship is possible, but the real con-
test will be for the head of the Re-
publican banquet organization
]. H. Lee of Harveyville. a widely
known Fourth district worker and
head of the speakers bureau of the
Republican state committee in the re-
cent campaign, is here with a strong
following for the presidency. Lee is
a successful stockman and has a
formidable organization. He was the
first candidate to enter the fight and
he will go into the Business meeting
this afternoon with a following from
every section of the state.

Just at this time the party leaders
seem confident the state will send an
uninstructed delegation to the national
convention next year. But the work

which will confront the party in the
next national convention

ID And a gray hutchinson wall
A couple lived on Harney's Hill
When l was small.
Kind they were in deed and word
And as peaceful as the next,
Until they heard the singing bird
That made them vexed.
"The little robineen," said she,
SIS early in his BUSH
"Sure, woman, dear, 0 dear, said he,
at is thrush
Twas then the woman started that
Which lasted for long
Warm while of arguing, as to what
Bird sang the soag.
Four seasons passed away, and then
Said he, "Dear woman, dear,
Do you recall that We heard the wren
This day last yearH"
"You mean the willy-wag tail, said
The wrathful farmer s wife,
And the old discussion that was dead
Came back to life.
So on that day IL every spring,
The arguing couples words
Renew the case to which they bring
Their different birds.
And think II go to Haney's Hill
With the music of my flute,
To settle what is surely still
A strong dispute.
For I could end the long DISCOURSE.
By initiating all
