WHY BIDS DIFFERED.
One Proposal for Road Work on Basis
Feet and One of Yards.

Among proposals received by the
Levy Court Tuesday for widening the
Concord pike on Mckee's Hill and put
ting a sidewalk thereon Edward E.
Crlmblish's bid of Sit, 900 was the lowest
and John Fanning's bid of S34, ,355 the
highest. The great difference was due to
an error in the proposal sheet, which
specified square yards, instead Of square
feet. Mr.. Crumblish bid on square feet
and Mr.. Tanning on square yards. Re
duced to square feet Mr.. Fanning's bid
was less than Mr.. Crumblish's, but Mr..
Tanning withdrew his bid because it was
~ uine times the square area intended.
The court will meet Friday morning for
the purpose of considering the bids.

LOWDEN OR ALLEN
AT CHICAGO MEET
d. w. MULVANE.
That Is Word TOpekan Brings
Back From East.
Big -Four Members "GueSseS"
Have Weight Nationally.
ALLEN VICE PRESIDENT ANYWAY
Regards LOWden's AlOOfnesS
From Row as Good Politics.
Declares Kansas Governor
Strongest of Dark Horses.
d. w. MULVANE

David W. Mulvane. whose analysis
OF national politics is perhaps the most
accurate of any Kanssn, is home from
a three weeks trip thru the East with
a prediction that Governor Allen is
the most probable of dark horse presi-
dental possibilities. He also believes
that nomination of almost any one of
the present avowed candidates would
assure the Kansas governor second
place on the national ticket.
Mulvane who runs less to conversa-
ton than almost any man in big league
politics, today gave voice to opinions
which he formed after a careful study
of conditions. During his trip Null
vane was in conference with score of
men whose names will be most fire.
quently mentioned in connection with
the big show in Chicago in June. Be-
cause of his recognized ability to judge
conditions and his intimate relation
ship with the big men of the party,
Mulvane's statement today is certain
to carry much weight.
Dowden or a Dark Horse.
From my frequent talks with close
political observers. including men in
public life and newspaper men in
touch with national politics, it is ap-
parent that there is a growing feeling
that the Chicago convention will nom
mate Governor Lowden of Illinois or
4 dark horse" Mulvane stated today.
There is a feeling that the manner in
which Governor Lowden has stood
-afoof from factional controversies may
tend TO make him a logical compro-
mise in June"
Then Mulvane delivered his verdict
on dark horses.
From every indication it is appar-
ent that Governor Allen is the most
~ -
vention." continued Mulvane. He is
strongly rated as a presidential pos
sibility in the east. His stand on in
dustrial problems is holding the atten-
ton OF many of the big men of the
party and the reception which ,the
governor has received on all of his
eastern trips has been most flattering.
Vice President Nominee Sure?
III the convention deadlocks, I be-
lieve Governor Allen has the best
chance of the dark horse field. If
almost any one of the present aVoWed
presidential candidates should win the
nomination for first place, it seems al
most certain that Governor Allen
would be nominated for vice presi-
dent"
Mulvane's record for clear. sensible.
unprejudiced thinking in politics will
give his analysis more weight. per-
haps. than any recent statement of

with inspection trips thru Pennsyl-

Mulvaue is a member of the Kansas
Big Four to Chicago. His acqbaint-
ance with national leaders and his or
ganization ability are expected to do
much in cementing the following be-
hind the Kansas governor.
