He is not candidate for vice president.
ms heart is in Kansas affairs.
He will be mighty happy with a second

He favors Gen. Leonard Wood for presi-
dent.
Unmoved by any element of emotion
and desire for high place, Governor
Allen today sidestepped the presiden-
tial boom which was launched in his
behalf by his friend, William Allen
+ White. Allen fatty stated that he
would not be candidate for either the
presidential or vice presidential nomi-
nation-that his desire and ambition is
to serve the state a second term as
governor.
In Topeka Friday afternoon, Will
liam Allen White had declared for the
Kansas governor for president with
out compromise The White state
( ment-informal, frank and without
/ 1rllls-waS accepted in political circles
as a pronouncement- of a boom to be
launched for Allen before the Repub-
lican national convention. No man in
Kansas is closer to Allen than White.
NO man is more earnest in his ambi-
ton to see the governor go to Wash
/ ington. But Governor Allen is un-
moved. He refused to be swayed-
even by the gestures and nominati
speech White offered as he ate a
piece of mince pie and made presiden-
/ tial preferences.

ciate the warm friendship which

, day. But I refuse to permit myself
I to be led by the suggestion of a man
who has, picked more losers than any
other person in the world. Even the
fine enthusiasm and personal interest
which / appreciate so highly in Mr.
White does not remove the feeling
I that there is still some question as to
whether he is politically rational" s.

apparently didn't hear question as
to whether developments of the next

Action by Governor Aliens friends
/ during the last few weeks-backed

publicity in eastern newspapers and
magazines-was for the present at
least, sidetracked in today's statement.

current in state house circles, the gov

TO HOLD ADDICTS FIFTY ARE HURT
Topeka Legislative Bill Would
Put Them in Asylum.
Drug Fiends in Dangerous In
crease Here-McGiffert.

Lunacy commissions in Kansas coun-
ties would be empowered to adjudge
drug addicts temporarily insane and to
have them confined in the state nos
pital for treatment under bill which
may be drawn up by D. II. Brara-
man, city attorney of Topeka, at the
instigation of Robert D. McGiffert,
commissioner of health. and to be in
troduced at the special session of the
legislature which opens Monday.
The city commissioners. on a motion
by N1cGiffert, today endorsed proposed
legislation on the suppression of the
drug traffic in Kansas and providing
some way to take care of addicts.
Following the meeting McGiffert,
Dr. Earle G. Brown, city health officer,
and DR.. r. j. Miller. city physician,
conferred with Judge Ralph H Cav
of the Shawnee county probate court.
before whom lunacy cases come in this
county.
With the advent of prohibition a
great increase in the drug traffic has
been noted, McGiffert stated. More
victims of "coke" and morphine are
finding their way to Topeka and DR..
Miller is called upon to furnish them
with temporary relief in the city Jail.
As the state laws stand now, however,
a person addicted to the use of a drug
cannot be taken to the state hospital
and confined there for treatment un-
less he consents to it, He can be
taken there if he requests 1t.
Conditions are becoming more Sc
rious every day." McGiffert declared.
Legislation such as We are consider
ing for introduction at the special ses-
sion would work for the benefit not
only of the addict himself but of the
whole community As long as done
fiends are permitted to run loose, a
grave danger to the public exists.
IF such a law is proposed at the
special session it will have the unani-
nous support of all the probation Of

1t is doubtful If there has been a
year since "the boom" when real
estate activities in Topeka reached
SUCH proportions as in 1919. Every
month showed a Substantial increase
in property transfers. according to
records in the office of Oran Layton,
register of deeds.
Nor will this unprecedented activity
stop with the opening of the new year.
in the opinion of local real estate men.
They predict that the 1920 business
will be as good as ever and that. while
there will probably be no increase in
prices, there will also be no slump.
The demand for constructed houses
will be great. it is believed, while the
demand for lots will lag, owing to
steadily increasing prices of building
material. This is an admirable time
for property owners to remodel their
homes both for renting and sale pur-
poses, it was pointed out.
Winter LulI at Present.
Just at present there is a slight lall
in real estate activities but with the
opening of spring it is thought the
rush will commence again. Some
dealers estimate that the amount OF
property on the market this year will
not be so large as was the case last
year, owing to the fear of home own
ers of being left out in the cold" il
they sell their places. Only those leav-
ing town. or contemplating a similar
move. will be apt to sell, it was
thought.
During 1919 there were 1920 war
ranty deeds filed in the office of the
register of deeds. upon which SO. 604. sc
in fees were collected. In 1918 the
number of deeds filed was only 1898
with fees amounting to s2,007.50. The
considerations amounted from lone
dollar and other consideration lid tc
$4,000 and $4,000. Farm property
moved exceptionally well and it is
predicted that this activity will be re-
sumed in 1920.
The total number of instruments
filed in the register of deeds office ir
1919 was 14,70S, on which $9.515- IL
in fees was collected, as opposed tc
$3.50 instruments and $5,6SS.S0 in fees
in 1913. 1t is estimated that. after the
expenses of the office are paid, ap-
proximately 5000 will be turned
over to the county treasurer, which
is a larger sum than this office has
made the county in many years.
1919 Instruments Filed.
The various instruments filed ir
1913, with the fees collected, were di-
vided as follows: warranty deeds
1920, $3,60490; mortgages, 2.031
1855: chattel mortgages. 5,147, ST.
