Sunflower or Cyclone?
(NeW York TimeS)

Whichever horn of his political di-
lemma Vice President Curtis grasped,
he was certain to be charged with a
peSsimistic outlook for his party. II
he had decided for the senatorship
in Kansas. 1t would have been said
that he expected the defeat of the
national ticket in 1882 and preferred
to take his chances as an individual
with his home folk. Now that he has
announced his candidacy for vice
president. the political gossips won
der whether he has not abandoned
hope that the Republican party can
carry the agricultural states next
year.
Some persons Of this mind are de-
scribed by the correspondent of The
Herald Tribune at Washington as
MIR. Curtis's friends" and therefore
presumably dealing in something
more substantial than gossip. I'm
the absence Of any amplifying state
ment from the vice president runs
the dispatch, "his friends said that
Mr.. Curtis had returned from his
transcontinental trip greatly heart
ened about Republican national pros
poets next year, but not at all cer-
tain any Republican could be elected
to the senate from Kansas" If these
friends are accurate, the second part
OF the view ascribed to Mr.. Curtis
will be held by Democratic politicians
to destroy the first. They understand
1t to mean that he believes industry
will recover before agriculture does
and that the east and north will pro-
vide the electoral votes necessary to
give victory to the national ticket
But they will be unable to make a
Republican political map on which
Kansas gives its electors to Demo-
cratic national ticket. This is be-
cause of their vivid memory of 1916.
In that year Mr.. ShouSe, then ma.
tionally unknown, persuaded the
Democratic National Committee te
make fight for Kansas. To ole
hands it was as If they had been tole
that there was hope that Mr.. Wilson
might carry Pennsylvania. Ever

Kansas would go Democratic, few a.

really what his friends say it is, thel
the Kansas trend IS again Demo
cratic, as Senator Capper som'
months ago indicated when he made
his mournful statement about tn
prospects Of Republicans there.
1t is almost year before the prcsi
Dental election, and things in Kan
saS and elsewhere may shift back tt
normal politically. Meanwhile, tn,
Democrats are jubilant and the Re

out again that If he had chosen tx

AS Mary stood shivering with

and the bump OF a boat as it hit
against the suspended gangway.

along the deck. and almost fell
into the arms of Bates, coming
