ance worker. 81 wish she would re-
duce the number at least to 9,999. In
spite of the liberties she has taken in
speaking for this membership, she has
never consulted me regarding policy
or an issue"
Mrs. Kannard Into Game.
According to reports Mrs. Emma
Kannard of Lawrence will be one of
the prominent club women and tenn
peTance workers in the fight on Mrs.
Mitchner's rule. One report today is
to the effect that Representative Min
ME ]. Grinstead of Liberal may be
picked as the opposing candidate
against Mrs. Mitchner. 1t is reported
that the lady from Seward and the
head of the Women's Temperance
Union have had several disagreements
regarding legislative policies. In con-
sequence there is said to be a relation
ship that isn't exactly undying love
and devotion.
In event the Mitchner opposition
does not center around Mrs. Grinstead
there is the possibility that the Rev.
picked for leadership. The Abilene
woman has been a field worker for
the temperance union for a number
of years and is reported to be strong
~ entrenched with the membership.
To Discuss Home for Girls.
The question of establishing a girls
home under control and direction of
the w. c. T. U. will also come before
the convention. Members of the tenn
perance union are decidedly divided as
to this policy. 1t may be one of the
sticks added to kindle flames during
convention week.
Politics as well as policies of the
union will be before the convention
much Of the time. A report today is
to the effect that influences behind
Mrs, Mitchner may propose a resolu-
ton protesting against selection of
Congressman Tincher as successor to
Judge Pollock should the latter go to
the circuit court bench. Such a reso-
luton, it is claimed, may pave the
way for some temperance statements
from Washington and a free and I'M
restrained debate. Reports are to the
effect that at least one colleague of
Congressman Tincher on the Kansas
delegation has offered to supply
Tincher's congressional record and it
has been limited that Volstead him
self may supply a statement endors-
ing the KanSan's votes.
1t is a fine setting for a week of
activity. Once the convention gets a
free. running start, Alexander Howat
may find himself crowded off the
front pages of the Kansas press. AS
for Fatty Arbuckle, he looks like
a bad third for the week.
