platforms. Neither party endorsed
them. The plank proposed by Cover
nor Allen was rewritten in the meet
ing of the Republican resolutions COM
mittee and called attention to the sug-
gested changes without endorsement
or criticism. Then as the campaign
got under way. Governor Allen him
self altered his speeches and gave
more time to the Industrial court issue.
It looked as tho the amendments were
to be removed from the activities of
the prediction contests.
They Doom Up Big.
Now the amendments are looming
big. Recently farmer organizations
and labor unions have taken free, gen.
erous and healthy swats at the amend
ments The taxpayers league has
jumped on the proposals with both
feet. In retaliation, it now seems that
Governor Allen and the state admin
istra ton are to carry the issues to the
voters in the election.
Considera BILE literature regarding the
amendments was printed under direc-
ton of Governor Allen during the pre-
primary contests. With the slump in
amendment activities after the plat
forms were written, a new interest has
been shown in the measures.
To Inform Voters.
Recently the state printing plant
printed and folded 1905 sixteen page
circulars under requisition from the
governors office. These are to be sent
to voters in the next few days from
the state house.
In addition to the campaign thru
circulars. a publicity fight has been
organized. William Allen White of
Emporia, a close adviser and bosom
the issue. He is writing a series of
articles favorable to the amendments.
These articles are being published in
daily and weekly papers in the state.
Except Highway Amendment.
Except in the lone case of the high
way amendment, the activity for pro-
posed constitutional changes embody
all the amendments-farm tenantry,
classification of property for taxation
and good roads. Automobile organi-
cations, the state highway commission
and good roads organize tons are CIV
ing their attention to the road meas
ure. The state tax commission has
taken a keen interest in advocating
support of the proposed tax amend
ment.
Just the effect which the injection
of the amendments into the campaign
at this time will have, is entirely prob
lematical. The most intense oppose
ton to the amendments has come
from the farmers and labor unions.
Opposition to the amendments is also
displayed by many of~the large tax
paying corporations
Not an issue.
Persons active In the political cam
paign in the state, tho, had seemingly
been assured the amendments were
not to be made an issue. Appearance
of organized movements both for ami
against the measures may now have a
decided effect in the state.
Whether Governor Allen will now
change his speech and take the stump
for the amendments in the closing
days of the campaign is not known
He may merely continue the present
plan of directing a publicity fight thru
his administration. On the other hand
farmer organizations and labor inter-
ests are holding anti-amendment
meetings in many communities. while
many speeches are being made for in
dividual amendments by administra-
ton appointees backed by supporters
of the road measure. Aside from the
