Stubbs ruled in state politics with an
iron hand. Some of his old friends
have since made new a1ignments and
in several cases, it is reported, Stubbs
was asked not to get in the race.
In 1912 Stubbs won the admiration
of many of his former enemies when
he showed rare sportsmanship and did
not heckle and quarrel after his over
whelming defeat for the United States
senatorship. Completing his second
term as governor, Stubbs won the
senatorial nomination over Senator
Charles Curtis that year. Then came
the party split, the organiZat ton of
the Progressive movement and the de-
feat of Stubbs for the senate as well
as Capper for governor and loss of six
congressman and both branches of the
state legislature. After his defeat by
w H. Thompson for the senate Stubbs
retired to his mansion on Wind Hill
near Lawrence and was not active in
politics again until 1918.
Broke With Progressives.
Stubbs refused to join the third
party Progressives in 1914. At that
time he broke with Fred Trigg and
William Allen White, who spent muci.
time clamoring for overthrow of the
Republican party in Kansas. In 1919
Stubbs again entered politics and was
a candidate for the senatorial nomina =
tion He was defeated by Senator Ar
thur Capper.
1t was in 1904 that Stubbs first came
into political prominence. He took
the leadership of the Boss Buster
movement and managed and largely
financed the Hoch campaign for gov
ernor. He was a party to the defeat
of Governor Bailey for denomination
in the Wichita convention that year
and his spectacular methods made him
a state character in politics. He was
speaker of the house during the legis-
lative session of 1905.
In 1909 Stubbs succeeded Hoch in
the governors office. He was nomi :
mated over the late Cy Leland in the
first state wide primary held in Kan
sas-the primary election of 1908.
Recently Stubbs lost his fortune in
the cattle business. His beautiful hom-
on Wind Hill recently was sold
Il am rather seriously thinking il
over" Stubbs told The State Journal.

Maybe 1 won't for few days yet. But

YOUR DAY-AND MINE!

You say that your life is so dull, dear,
And the days are, to you, drear and long,
Your path seems so fun of unhappiness!
oh, come, it is you that is wrong.
For the world is so full of real pleasures
That we've never tasted the half;
Each day offers some of its treasures
Take the real joys of life-not the shaft.
As long as there's a new bit of music
That we have not learned to play,
Life surely offers something
To brighten the dreariest day
And what loads of good books have been
written,
And why should we sorrow and pine
When such treasures as these lay before us
gift for your day-and mine?
And artists are still painting pictures
Which will hang in some hail of fame;
Oh, to pine and sigh, when the world is SO
full
OF good things for US, is shame!
And why should we ever be gloomy
While a Masters hands tint thes kies
With colors so glorious and beautiful
They fairly dazzle our eyes.
Life offers us each n tomorrow,
'Tis a gift most PRICELESS and rare
Let us crowd it SO brim full of real
pleasures
That they will crowd out all the care.

Asherville Farmer and Stock
man Heads Kansas Day Club.
Oran B. Layton Reelected Sec
retary by AcelamatiOn.

John o. Evans, farmer and stock
man of Asherville, won in a three
cornered fight for the presidency of
the Kansas Day club at the business
session held Monday afternoon at rep
resentative hall. The other candidates
were. Charlie Townsley, of Great
Bend; and DR.. c. w. Jones, of Olathe.
As president Evans succeeds Wilbur
Hawk, of Atchison, who has held the
office the past year. Oran 3. Layton,
of Topeka, was reelected secretary by
acclamation when it was discovered
there were no other candidates in the
field.
Any notion that the club members
would recognize the right of DIR. Jones
for the position of president inasmuch
as she was the runner up year ago
was entirely lost sight of. The voting
was by ballot and before the counting
had proceeded very far it was evident
that the only contest was between
Evans and TowInsley and the Olathe
physician finished in last place.
Evans, who quickly forged ahead in
the counting and held the lead to the
end, was recognized as the admins
tration candidate for the position.
The vote was as follows: Evans, 375;
Townsley, 224; Jones, Sc.
