Kansas politicians today have the
greatest off year selection of candf-
dates and possibilities ever presented
in the hotel milling preceding the an
nual Kansas lay club banquet. With
| the prospect that Gov. Henry j. Allen
may be the Republican nominee for
vice president in 1920, or may decide
to plunge into the United States sena-
torial fight, there is the broadest pos
| sib!e opportunity today for dope MAX
| ing by the visitors who have come to
| Topeka from every county in the
state.
| All Republican politics today con-
| Germs the action of Governor Allen.
| And while the crowd mills in the lob
bies and in the state house corridors,
Governor Allen sits smilibg, serene and
| calm in his private office and says
not a word of his plans. There is the
strongest sort of chance that the next
| national convention will push Allen
| into the running as the party nominee
| for the Nice presidency. If that fail,
| then AlHSn is doped for the senator
! ship.
! Senatorial Row On.
| In any event, the situation in Kan

| toriaI row-especially with Governor
Allen a strong possibility for the race.
Senator Curtis is strong in Kansas
mighty strong. He has looked after
a hundred little things and big things
for thousands of Kansans and he has
| a following and an organization abil-
ity that means trouble for any man
who tackles him. On the other hand
both United States senators live in To-
peka. So there you are.

Governor Allen today lost the first

an original motion or substitute Of
