tributing causes for the heavy loss of

publicans have since been demanding
Motter's removal from federal service
According to the dope in political
circles Motter came to Topeka today
to make peace with the postmaster
general Doctor Work refused to dis
cuss the Motter interview while here
altho it was generally known that he
had granted an interview of the Kan
sas revenue collector.
An additional cause for Motters
present disturbance is declared to be
the charge that he has indulged in
pernicious political activity during his
term of office. Rumors received in
Topeka are to the effect that several
letters written by Motter on stationery
OF his department deal wholly and en-
tirely with political matters. This sit
uatfon might not be so embarrassing
were il no. for the fact that the letters
seem TO have unfortunately fallen into
hands of persons who plan to forward
them to Washington. In consequence
the political upset in Tuesdays state
wide election may be followed by a
change in the revenue department in
Kansas
Another Bit of Bad Luck
The misfortune which has over
taken Motter thru hasty quotation of
Doctor Work is another bit of bad
luck which pursued Motter thru lib
eral discussion of remarks of persons
higher up. Shortly after Motter'S
election as state chairman four years
ago he came home from a conference
with VIII Hays, then national chair
man. and told about a number of
things discussed in the meeting. Hays
denied the interview. And again Mot
ter explained that the newspapers had
misquOted him.
Motter's pilgrimage to Topeka today
to seek some word of comfort from
the postmaster general was regarded
by political leaders as significant of
early developments in the future off
ciaI status of the revenue collector.

aitor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Enclosed please find my cheek for 91.50 for renewal for the Cabin for another year. We are always anxious for our Cabin" to arrive each week, as it is almost like getting a letter from home. 1t is with great interest that we (my family and I read the paper and note the many items of interest appearing each week in our old home county.
 Especially was I delighted to read of my old school mate, neighbor and friend, MT. J. I. Summers, announce ment that he would be a candidate for sheriff and collector of Faulkner county, and that possibly he would have the distinction of no opposition for his first term for the same. Nothing would please me more than to see him elected, and it would be great pleasure to me, if l could have the privilege of being a citizen of old Faulkner at election time and get to cast my vote for him. Know ing him as 1 do and have from boy hood up to the present time, feel sure that the people of that county will make no mistake in electing him. Please pardon me, MT. Editor, for the mention in this letter of my friends candidacy for sheriff, as am so in terested that could hardly help it.
 Wishing you and all the readers a prosperous New Year, am as ever,
