IN STATE POLITICS !
EYES ON Topeka
First District G.. o. p. COnven-
ton Here Wednesday.
VIII Be First to Select Dele
gates to Pow.WOw at Chi.
LOOKS LIKE POMEROY- ROBERTS
Report Has 1t Brownies Name
May Not Be Presented.
Carey Sure of Big Four Place,
Leisure Believes.

Political interest during the next
week will center in the First district
Republican convention in Topeka next
Wednesday. 1t will be the first con-
vention in Kansas to select delegates
to the national convention in Chicago
in June. No instructions will be given
the two delegates and alternates from
this district, according to all plans. In
fact, the entire twenty delegates from
Kansas will go to the convention free
from home orders.
Two or Three Candidates.
Three candidates may be presented
before the First district convention.
Senator Frank Pomeroy of Jackson
county and Frank Roberts of Oska-
loosa, will be the two delegates, &C
cording to reports from delegations in
the eight counties of the district. Ma
jor Charles H. Browne of Horton has
also been urged by a large contingent
and by former service men, as a can
didate. He was strongly endorsed by
the convention in Brown. his home
county. and service men in Shawnee
county are favoring him to the man.
That Major Brownies name might
not go before the district convention
has been rumored. If the Pomeroy-
Roberts forces are in control of the or
ganization of the Topeka convention,
some of the Browne supporters are
said to favor withholding his name
from the convention. In that event
Major Browne would doubtless be
urged as a presidential elector from
this district and, in view of his service
record, would be strongly urged to
carry the Kansas electoral vote to
Washington, in event Of Republican
victory in the state and nation.
Major Browne is said to be leaving
Powell, Wyo., today. He has been
looking after land allotment projects
in the interests of service men. He is
due to arrive in Horton Tuesday eve
ming and is expected to come to To-
peka Wednesday morning.
Believe. Carey VIII Win.
Chester Leisure of Hutchinson be-
lieves Emerson Carey, former state
senator and well known Seventh dis
trict leader, will win a place on the
Republican Big Four. Leisure has been
scouting thru First, Fourth and
Eighth district counties this week, and
believes the salt packer will go to the
convention with enough strength to
win one of the four places.
II believe the Seventh district will
be behind Carey strong Leisure said
during a visit to Topeka We are not
fighting Mrs. Grinstead," he said in
reply to a query, land really feel quite
friendly to her.
Carey entered the race in Reno
county as a state administration can
didate, acceptable to all elements in
the party. This fact is expected to
add to his strength in the big admin
istration districts.
County Conventions Next Week.
Many of the counties which have
not already selected delegates to the
district and state conventions will hold
primaries or conventions next week.
All of the district conventions. with
the exception of the Sixth district
will be held in advance of the state
convention in Salina March 81.

COST OF SIMPLE
DRESS WITHIN>
REACH OF FEW

} Cross-Atlantic Correspondence OF The Star.
| LONDON, November 11.-Mere man
always imagines that in woman's
dress simplicity spells cheapness.
Nothing could be further from the
facts.
1t seems rather hard lines. but it is
| true. that beautiful simplicity in
| clothes is so expensive that it is
| within the reach of very few. Not
all have been educated to realize that
the art of looking simple is generally
the prerogative of the frock bearing
Bond street label or the plain little
hat that came straight from Paris.
II do love those plain little dresses
you wear" says the man: only you
could look SO pretty in such simple
clothes"
The girl smiles, but laughs inward
~. knowing how many sacrifices that
very cult of simplicity has cost her
in teas and matineeS.
This does not mean dowdy SIM
plicity. of course-the badly hung
skirt and the ill-fitting blouse-out
the little unadorned dress. the plaln
silk blouse, with lines that seem Just
right" the simple black satin evening
frock. all art and no trimming.
The reason of the high cost of sim
plicity was explained the other day
by famous Paris dress designer.
10 the question, Gould nob the
manufacturers turn out inexpensive
suits made on excellently simple lines,
even in cheap materials?" he replied,
''Impossiblei You do not know how
hard it is to get what the Greeks
called the golden mean,' that line OF
beauty that needs no adornment 10
enhance it. It takes time, thought,
and work to turn out such garments
and to develop taste in the people VINO
buy them. 1t also requires costly
materials to give true look OF per-
feet simplicity to the Clothes.
Although this very costly simple
ity is not for all Of us, the English
woman of all classes is learning to
achieve the smart simplicity which IS
within her reach.
She is sticking to few colors, and
learning which are smart and which
are not. She now knows that it is
simpler, and, therefore. smarter, to
wear a black suit, a white blouse and
white washing gloves, black hat and
dark shoes and stockings. than
powder-blue coat, a mauve SCARF ana
a hat of some other light shade.
THE girls here have gone long
step since they discovered the chic of
dark clothes for street wear" says the
same famous Paris dress designer.
"Oh, those awful greens and mauves
and blues that they used to wear!
Limit yourself to two or three colors,
and stick to them in all your clothes.
Then you will have things that match
and harmonize."
