FROM KANSAS ANGLE

William Allen Whites action in refusing
70 20 oDey instructions from ms nome state
Indiana for chairman of the resolutions
committee, really didn't cause big shock.
1t furnished the principal topic for discus
sion among the Kansas delegates for a
day and a few of the members laid bare
some personal thoughts. But White him
self has merely smiled. He not only voted
against his instructions, but he nominated
Mills and contributed one of the three votes
against the Hoosier state senator.
Senator Watson is strong with the Kan
sas delegates. He has come into the state
needed help 1t was in order to safeguard
against Slip that the delegation met and
gave to the Emporian a mandate as to their
desires.
And White was only one day from the
power which elected him He has for years
argued as to the sins of violating or ig-
noring instructions. But in the test on the
Watson issue, White flopped. Fred Trigg

for Watson for anything whether he was
instructed or not.

and women.
Included in the demands for Kansas
ticket apportiouments are requests from
many former residents of the state. The
former kansans look to their old nome
among former kansans in Chicago or those
who came to the convention from other
cities and states and have been unable TO
secure convention transportation.
Governor Allen may go before the Kan
sas delegation with a request for the re-
election of Fred Stanley national COM

already brought much pressure to bear on on

delegates desire to relieve the strains on
party harmony at home by checking the

In that event Stanleys election would be
assured only in event of the nomination of

short time ago | was such a per-

strong and healthy, and as time
passed new troubles set in. Ev-
cry bite | ate hurt me. and l
would have severe cramps. Gas
formed and pressed around my
heart so bad | had to fight for
breath. My kidneys caused me
to have back-ache until thought
it would drive me distracted. and
if | tried to stoop over my back
felt like it would break in two,
and even the weight of my
clothes hurt me so much | had to
have them made so the weight
was all on my shoulders. When
l tried to sweep the floor or cook
a meal became so week and dir
w had to lie down, and my
nerves were so shattered / could
hardly ever sleep at night. This
was my condition for twenty long
years not one day, but every
day-and l could never get any
pleasure out of life.
When you go this way veal
in and year out, and then find
medicine like Tanlac, it jus
seems too good to be true. M!

me any more and the pain in m.
