barrassment to the state administra-
ton in the coming election, it is point
ed out An attempt to get united sup
port from the Topeka post failed.
But the state administration did
want to whip Mulvane. And leaders
of the American Legion, particularly
men holding state Offices thru appoint
ment, worked their heads off, SO to
speak, to whip Mulvane. So many
men are wondering why any concerted
action for a bonus was throttled while
fight to put Browne on the delega-
ton desired by state officers brought
on so much activity. In short, the
question is being asked: Does the
state administration control the action
of officers in the American LeGion?"
County candidates even now are
growing apprehensive that with the
new law requiring all voters to re-
register their friends will forget to
register. The task of getting the voters
to re-register has bean checked up to
Fred Shellabarger, chairman OF the
county central committee.
Elmer Robbins, an A. E. F. man.
and a Santa Fe employe, is reported
to be in the race for county clerk with

He is an old man-past the four

to watch him to keep him from eat

has returned.
The old man is quite feeble. He
cannot exercise, but must stay in the
house, usually in his chair, turnout
the long hours of the day. Hence his
doctor has decreed that he shall not
eat heavy food. and has instructed the
family to restrict his diet to soups and
other foods dequiring little digestion.

Recently the other members of the

in the kitchen. One of them, sus-

BY PERCY c. POWELL.

The probability that a certain fac

tempt to break up D. W. Mulvane's

revenge for the terrible walIoping this
machine gave Maj Charles Browne.
ex-service man, in the fight to put him
on the First district delegation is un-
der discussion in county politics at
this time.
That Mulvane controlled the lead
ers in the county central committee
was shown beyond a question of a
doubt when the Shawnee county vote
was cast in the district convention this
week. That the delegates didn't give
4 snap of their fingers for what was
claimed to be American Legion senti-
ment likewise was indicated at the
convention.
Whether the faction which fought
for Browne will keep the barn open
until another horse Is stolen or at
tempt at the proper time to get an eff
fective representation in county af-
fairs is an unanswered question.
Split I'm Legion.
If an attempt is made to add i'm
provements to the county machine
there is little doubt there will be a
split and a row in the American Le-
gion. For there are many members
who didn't look kindly on the efforts
OF office holders to throw the Ameri-
can Legion into politics by the method
pursued in last weeks fight.
There are many who feel that II the
leaders really desired to help its men,
bers they might have abandoned their
too proud to ask" attitude when the
bonus bill was before the last session
of the legislature. They say there is
little doubt if the men, instead of the
leaders, had been asked for an express

would have been for 1t strong. But a

Harry Wright, of Topeka, recently
chosen to succeed J. A. Fansler as
manager of the Kansas Good Roads
association, is well known thruout
this district on account of his activity

Clean a. Well a. Overwhelming

clean az well a. overwhelming
awhile this was undoubtedly very
favorable year for a chairman of the
Republican National Committee to
test theories. the success of them
should not be overlooked. nor the
source Of their inspiration. 1t is in
deed gratifying to recall that Chair
man Hays. doubtless against more or
less opposition, insisted from the first
that the campaign fund should be
raised from the party as a whole,
rather than in large sums from GER
tain ones. So successful was this
plan that it was easy to refute the
charges brought by Cox. Hays has
the shrewdness of the Indiana poll
tician and the good sense to recog-
nizc the kind of method which espec-
tally appeals to the rank and file Of
the Republican party. He is entitled
to all the congratulations he is re-
ceiving on the cleanest and most
overwhelming victory ever attained
under the banner of Republicanism.
