HOWAT RELEASE
IS PUSHED BY
LABOR LEADERS
Allen Says He Will Stay
in Jail for Violating
Court Order
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Topeka, Nov. 15.-A new move
ment among labor organizations OF
Kansas for the release of Alexander
Howat, former president Of district
IA, United Mine Workers OF the
World, from the Crawford county
Jail, has started, Governor Allen said
today. Labor organizations seem
to interpret the election Of Jonathan
Davis as meaning that Howat should
be let out Of JAIL" he said. Il have
received numerous requests lateiy
asking the release Of Howat but have
no intention of doing SO. Howat
was placed in Jail for repeated vio-
lation of the industrial court law. 1t
is within the province Of the legisla-
ture to repeal the law If 1t sees ut but
the fact remains that HOwat was
found guilty Of violating the law and
must remin In Jail"
Pittsburg, Nov. 15.-Alexander
Howat is not servin ga Jail sentence
in violation of the industrial court
law, but for contempt Of court In

injunction issued by Judge Curran OF

many WILLING
TO HELP DAVIS
run The STATE
New Governor Finds the
Job Hunters Thick
on His Trail
By A. L. Shultz

Topeka. Nov. 15.-This sudden
and rather unexpected election OF
Jonathan M. Davis to the governor
ship has simply broken up his STOCK
feeding plans for the winter ana ieit
the new executive up in the air as to
what will become Of the farm next
summer. What is more the new
farmer governor-elect Is racing the
immediate prospect Of reading up on
Vogue and Vanity Fair instead OF
Holstein discussions and moving
from the atmosphere Of the barn
ward to life surrounded by mahog-
any furniture and in the midst OF
buzzer systems and job hunters.
The suggestion is likely to bring
howls of protest But Davis himself
was perhaps as greatly surprised as
anyone in the state when news OF
his winning came over the wires the
morning after election. Davis has
made a good hard, game fight. He
had fought with few Of the natural
advantages of modern political war
fare. He had lacked organization,
publicity and campaign funds. But
he had philosophically looked the sit
uation in the face.
When Davis went back to his
Bourbon county farm at the end OF
his hard campaign he felt he had
chance. But he didn't urge his i'm
mediate friends to bet on 1t. He
knew Republican majorities were
coming down. That they would act
ually come down so far, though, was
the big surprise. Davis went to bed
the night Of the election with that
sort of hope that surrounds q person
who feels somehow someone Is going
TO bring in the glad news that he mas
fallen heir to a million. But tne
feeling doesn't exactly warrant tax
ing on new obligations. So DAVIS
hadn't made real changes In calculat-
ing the number Of steers he would
feed this winter or the acreage OF
corn to be planted next spring.
Yet it shouldn't be presumed that
Davis was the only person VINO was
startled by the returns. 1t rather
disturbed the winter plans OF w. I.
Morgan and his wife out in Hutchin-
son. Most Of all, though, 1t sudden
ly knocked all the security and con-
fidence out of a little army OF state
department heads and employees.
The majority of them face the pros
pect of going right back to the OLD
home town just as soon as the new
governor can make arrangements TO
fiji their places. And it is remark
