LAWYERSRUN
Seeking Governorship
In Eliminations
For Office

WICHITA, Kansas, May 29.-Two
farmers and lawyer were off today
in the democratic elimination race
for governor.
Jonathan NJ. Davis. operator Of a
large Bourbon county farm. who has
been victor in one of the three final
races he made against republicans,
announced last night his wish to be-
come his party's standard bearer in
the four consecutive campaign. He
made the announcement at the ban
quet which closed the democratic
state convention.
Davis insisted he was not seeking
vindication because of two trials in
which he was cleared of charges of
selling pardons.
Donald Muir. young Anthony law
yer. assured the guests at the same
banquet that he would attempt to
give Governor Davis the hardest race
Of his life" at the August primaries.
III. w. Behrens of Lyndon, a state
senator and farmer, was the third
candidate to start in the democratic
derby.
Davis formal announcement. came
after the state convention refused to
mention specifically his administra-
tion in its resolutions. The con-
Tvention's resolution endorsing "the
past democratic administrations" was
pronounced by the former Governor
as an approval of his own.

Officials Of the school admins
tration state that boys are given the
alternative cf whipping or spend
ing q certain time after school and
that frequently the students take
the whipping. One OF the mothers
said the cadet officers seem to make
il matter Of pride with the boys to
suffer the pain Of fIoEging Ia D.
