Governor Capper Was Last
Kansan To Visit Colonel.
They Talked About Western
Conditions for 20 Minutes.
MUCH INTEREST IN FARMER
Great Statesman Also Talked OF
s. Politics in Kansas.
He Would Not Let Nurse End
Governors Visit.

Colonel Roosevelt's last thought was
Of the great middle west, her people
and their interests. That was the
statement today of Gov. Arthur Cap
per. the last Kansan to talk with the
colonel. Governor Capper spent
twenty minutes with T. r. in Roose-.
welt hospital in New York city less
than three weeks ago.
In his office in the state house today
Governor Capper told of the incidents
of ais visit. He had just sent a tele-

at Oyster Bay.

his request, having gone to New York
for a visit. with Will N. Hays, national
chairman.
Help tho Farmer.
sTn spite OF sickness he was keen1y
interested in public affairs and was
much concerned with the situation
which the party would fee in 1920.
I EHe%declaPed that the nation must in
tie future give greater consideration
to the needs and the demands of the
people of the middle west, especially
the great farming and agricultural in
terests.
cit was with genuine interest that
he talked of the results in the middle
west in the last election He was es-
pecially pleased with the returns from
Kansas and saw in the results in these
states the nations return to the Re
publican fold in 920. $ During my visit
the colonel showed me a proof sheet
of a story he had written for one of
the magazines. His story covered
most forcefully the matters we dis
cussed.
Insisted Upon Talking.
when 1 went to the hospital his
nurse warned me the colonel must
talk but little. When she entered the
room after ten minutes, I started to
leave. but the colonel insisted on a
further discussion of conditions in the
| twenty minutes. His only complaint
as to his health was statement that
he was suffering from slight attack
of inflammatory rheumatism. He ex-
pected to leave the hospital in few
days he said. 1 think he went to his
home New Years day. In spite of his
weakened condition and rather pallid
face, he displayed much of his old
time vigor and enthusiasm in a dis
cusston of public affairs"
Governor Capper was the last Kan
san to visit the colonel. The fact that
Colonel Roosevelt sent for Governor
Capper to visit him in the hospital
| in spite of the rigid regulations against
| visiting illustrates the earnest interest
which was displayed in midwest af-
| fairs until the last. One of Colonel
Roosevelts last public speeches was
| at the big wheat show in Wichita in
October. There KanSanS gave the
colonel a characteristic old time re-
! ception. Governor Capper was with
, Colonel Roosevelt constantly During

Col. Roosevelt Most Likely Republicans
Candidate i'm 1870.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Colonel Roose-
velt's death removed a man, who, in
the public mind, was regarded as most
likely to be the Republican presiden-
t: Il nominee in the 1920 campaign.
Close upon the expressions of sorrow
which foiloy ed announcement of the
coloners death, capital politicians be-
gan discussion of the chances of other
candidates
Pershing was the name most heard
in the gossip today. Belief exists in
some quarters that the successful
leader of Americas army in France
would accept the Republican nominal
ton, If offered.
Two elements of doubt entered into
consideration of Pershing for presi-
dent. First, whether he is a Republic
can. And, second. whether he would
gi up his army career to er ter poll
tics.
The friends of many other promf-
nent Republicans, who have been mem
toned heretofore, professed today to
believe that their particular candidate
had now moved into first place In
the line of aspirants.

New Use for Old NEWSPAPERS

A resOurceful motorist whose car
has been stuck in the mud does not
always have to fall back on a pair
Of mules to get free. For such an
emergency the United States Tire
Company offers some suggestions that
have proved valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car a stack
of old newspapers. When the car
gets stuck and the wheels refuse to
take hold, feed in some Of the old
papers between the tires and mud.
Usually only few will have to be
worked in before the wheels will be-
gin to grip and the car start for
ward. This method Of handling a
difficult situation is so simple and
so uniformly successful, that every
motortst should know of it and carry
pile of old newspapers, unless he
Is equipped with some other appar-
atus for such contingency.
Here is the other method suggest
ed by the United States Tire Com
pany: Put the car in low, and If
you cannot feed the gas with your
foot evenly, so that the wheels will

revolve slowly, put your emergency
brake on. Do not put it on so that
the wheels will not revolve at all.
but tightly enough to keep them
from revolving rapidly. With the
wheels turning slowly, the maximum
pull is delivered to them by having
the car in low gear, and so long as
they turn slowly they can get the
benefit of the tremendous power.
1t is not always wise to fill the
hole with stones or bricks, for their
rough edges are hard on tires. Small
branches of trees are better, as they
offer much better tractive space.
Should this method fail, quite often

more than move a baby buggy will

power necessary to get the car 60
