ing Secretary

Times Staff Correspondent.


KANSAS CITY, Kans., Oct. "a
One thing most Kansas politicians
agree upon is that Arthur Capper
will be reelected Senator. They say
he can not be beaten. A letter which
has Just come to light may throw
some light on Capper's secret. This
letter was addressed to Dan ODon-
nell of this city. 1t reads, in part;
I think Senator La Toilette and
have voted alike on practically all
important matters. For example,
we both voted to throw Newberry
cut Of the Senate. We both voted
fer japanese exclusion. for the child
labor amendment. for the postal pay
bill. We both voted to override the
Presidents veto of the Soldier Bonus
and The Burns pension bill. Voted
against DENLY and Daugherty. We
both voted TO take up the Howell
Barley bill We both voted for all
the farm bloc legislation, including
the bill to prevent gambling in farm
products on the board of trade and
the bill TO place a farmer on the
Federal Reserve Board and the bill
for packers control We both were
against the Mellon tax plan.
It hope YOU will give me your sup
mort. If Won viii confer with Glen
Willet. 7 think he will tell you that
my record IS all right. He is one
Of my strongest supporters"
Stirs Bob Workers
The paragraph concerning Glen
Willet has stirred La Toilette work
ers. Willet has been secretary of
the La Toilette State organization.
He is accused of having sold out
to Camper. Already he had been &C
cused of laying down in the cam
paign. and his opponents now assert
that Capper has been guiding his
movements.
Contrasted with Cappers ability
to carry water on both shoulders is

opponents are not allowing the mat

things White has said in recent
years concerning La Toilette and all
the uncomplimentary things he has

 Paris. July 14.-The three airplanes which are attempting to carry the insignia of the American air service around the world and to girdle the globe by air for the first time in history, today practically finished the Asiatic and European stages of their long flight when they swooped down upon the Le Bourget airdrome field.
 It was ideal flying weather with the sky deep blue and with but a few clouds here and there moving through the practically windless air. When the American airmen were within easy and passed over the Arc de Triomphe, escorted by squadron of French airplanes in military formation, which had met them after they had flown over French territory, relieving & squadron which had accompanied the fliers part of the distance from Stras- bourg.
 As the planes came to earth on the French official landing station, the six Americans were greeted with great enthusiasm by a large throng which had gathered about the airdrome.
 The aviators, although showing the wear and tear of their long trip, were full of good cheer and visbly affected by the warmth of their reception.
 Smith Lands First
 The first of the iiiers to land was Lieut. Lowell H. ySmitfi, looking tired and covered with precipitation. He "as so affected by the enthusiasm of his reception that he replied to M Eynac's greetings only in monosylla- bles. The other two fliers landed as quickly afterward as safety permitted.
 q am most happy to welcome you to France" said M. Eynac. T want to congratulate you with all my heart on the magnificent tour you are mak- ng around the world"
 How do we stand in the Olympic was the first question Lieut.. smith asked. He was highly pleased when told where the United States 'tood and then said: T am all right low. I'm tired and have a lot of ileep to catch up with but otherwise
 am ready to go ahead"
 Besides M. Eynac. representatives 'f the republic, of the ministers of var and the navy. and of the Ameri. an embassy. were on hand.
