White Falls Flat in
Kansas Governor Race;
Republican Is Leading

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 5.-(By the
Associated Press. )-William Allen
White, who entered the Kansas
gubernatorial race as an independent
on an ayowed anti-Ku Klux Khan
platform, ran far behind the sue
cessful candidate, Ben S. Paulen,
Republican, and this morning with
half the states precincts reported
was trailing Governor Jonathan NJ.
Davis, Democrat, by $4,000 votes.
Returns from 1882 precincts out
of 2,591 gave Paulen 155, 1888; Davis,
88,049; White 1906. The Emporia
editor waged a campaign unique in
the annals of American politics. Be
fore the balloting he expressed
fear" that he would be elected, de-
claring he made the race as a
duty" and preferred his editorial
desk to the governors chair.
Mr.. White remained at home last
night, retiring early and announced
he would not examine the election
returns until this morning
In closing his campaign he de-
clared he had accomplished his pur-
pose. II was sure to win," he
said. II started out to prove there
was a tremendous anti-Klan senti-
ment in Kansas. I ran to give men
and women supporting that senti-
ment a chance to vote for some one
not tainted with the endorsement OF
the ku klux Khan.

CABINET SHAKE-UP
SEEN At CAPITAL;
SLEMP To RETIRE
Several Members of Presi.
dents Official Family
Said to Desire Rest

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Several
changes are expected in the admin
istration personnel when President
Coolidge takes the oath of office
next March A.
There have been definite indica-
tions that certain officers high in
the government desired for various
personal reasons to retire to private
life, including some members of the
cabinet.
About the first break expected in
the official family is the resignation
of c. Bascom Slemp, secretary to
the president. Mr. Slemr, has played
an important part in the presidents
campaign, as we'll as handling the
duties of his office, and he is said
to want a rest. 1t is understood
that he is planning vacation
which will keep him in the south
for the winter.
Mr.. Coolidge, naturally, will be
free to select his own cabinet for
his full term. Those members who
desire to leave are expected to com
municate their wishes formally to
him before next March The resig-
nations of cabinet officers are al
ways in the hands of the president,
and although these may be formally
presented by them at any time, Mr..
Coolidge is expected to reiterate the
declaration he made upon assuming
office on the death of President
Harding, that no designations be
rendered now
Some changes are expected in va
rious divisions of the executive de-
partments to put into effect plans
which the president is understood
to feel are necessary, but no whole
sale shifting of government officers
is in sight. Such changes as come
about will occur largely in the nat
ural course of events
