/ ministration during four tumultuous
years. He has gained little that
would not ordinarily be natura
Republican asset. But ordinary poll
teal calculations fail to put him IN
Il position where it is an easy mat
ter to figure his defeat.
What Figures Show
In making campaign deductions
it might be well to consider the bit
ter campaign of 1912. That yeai
George Clark and John S. Dean or
ganized the Republican League-a
stubborn standpat Taft organization
with 10000 members enrolled.
The league spent thousands of dol
lars in a fight on the Bull Moose
candidates. Many of the strongest
Republicans In the state took the
stump for the organization. The
solid Republican press of the state
split in its support of candidates and
the Democrats were the natural
beneficiaries.
When the voters were counted
after the 1912 election Arthur Cap
per had lost to George ii. Hodges by
20 votes. Hodges was one of the
most forceful men in his party and
had made great campaign. But
the state was turned upside down
and inside out for 2 months In that
campaign-and in the end Demo
Gratis won by 30 votes. The entire
Republican state ticket below gov
ernor was elected.
Then there was the unusual sit
uation of 1916. That year the Dem
Ocrats national committee spent
thousands of dollars in Kansas. Out
in the grass country mothers were
singing that they didn't raise their
boys to be soldiers. w. G. McAdoo
came to the state with Wilson's ap-
peal that "he kept us out Of war"
In the railroad districts and labor
lnion centers it was the AdamsOn
let that nailed the voters to post.
Capper, running for reelection as
governor, won by 10000. The war
lppeal and the Adamson law gave
he state to Wilson by $4,000. Not
Democrat on the state ticket reach
d first base.

SUIT OVER AN ISLAND

A quiet title case involving the
ownership of an island in the Repub-
lican river near Clay Center, has
lately been brought in the district
court of Clay county at Clay Center.
The case in question is entitled Re-
publican River Power Company
against the Clay Center Electric &
Water Power company. The new
company organized to take over the
Dexter and Smell interests and make
one big new company, called the
Clay Center Electric and Water
Power company, found the title de-
fective from the fact that COM
pany organized over thirty years ago
had at one time claimed ownership
to the island.

Washington, February 1S.-(Spe- cial. l.)-Providing for the appropria- ton of s1,Ooo.soo to relieve destitu- ton of families of miners in Alabama, Ohio West Virginia and Pennsylvan- ia, Representative W. B. Bankhead of Alabama introduced bill today in the House. A previous bill by Repre- sentative Ben Thomas of Kentucky providing an appropriation of $50O,- 900 is apparently lost.
 There has ben considerable jock eying on the part of the majority members of the mining committee of the house." said MT. Bankhead to- night, and I introduced my bill to force a showdown. If the majorities intend to do something for the min ers, they should proceed to act If they are determined to do nothing In this emergency. the sooner the coun- try knows that fact the better.
 There is no question of intense suffering among miners of the seV- eral states Conditions in Alabama as deplorable as they are, apparently are better than in other sections. Ana in Alabama, there is evidence of des- titution, and near starvation.
 When women and children are forced to dig roots and gather herbs 10 prevent starvation, as is true in at least one section of Alabama, IL is time Congress needs such condl . tions. especially as Congress has Just voted s24,Ooo.o00 to relieve suffering in Russia"
