ATTORNEY GENERAL WITH
POLITICAL JUGGLING PRICES

Milwaukee, Wis. Jan. 12-Charges
that Attorney General 4. Mitchell Pal
rner and other government officials are
playing politics in the high cost Of liV'
ing crusades were made today at Il
meeting of women's club representa-
tives. called to discuss high prices.
When Mr.. Palmer, with the power Of
the government back of him, fails TO
do anything concrete TO lower prices,
but instead calls in the women of the
country and leaves them to tumble
at the problem, it looks as though he
and others of his ilk are afraid of the
political results that would follow the
exposure of the men higher up, who are
responsible for high prices" said Mrs
A. J. Roberts.

many of the Kansas eggs in one bass
ket. They will reason that the avowed
candidates, the faVorite sons and the
dark horses controlling the remaining
three-fourths should not be forgotten.
Such a course is held to be politically
wise and prudent in view of the fact
that Governor Allen might later be-
come General Woods residuary lega-
tee, as well as the favorite of a num-
Der of delegates who have no thought
or intention of voting for the general.
Due To Be Great Show
Not in many years has a Republican
convention held so many possibilities
or provided more uncertainty. II IS
this element of doubt which is pull
ing at Kansas Republicans and will
take to the convention one of the
largest crowds ever registered from
this state. The milling and hauling
and bucking and backing and filling
will start a full week ahead of the
opening of the big show. And it will
be a wonderful week-for the select
few, who sit in the inner councils of
the wise men. The others Will reap
much joy and comfort from the lobby
gossip and the printed tfdings.
1t will be a great show, but the
visitors from Kansas will enjoy the
meeting the more if they have made
early arrangements for sleeping quar-
ters and convention tickets.
