LIVELY POLITICS III KANSAS STATE Situation Is Most Complicated Experienced by the Sunflower State.

TOPEKA, Kas., July 31 If the present political campaign in Kansas had much longer to run the big wheat and corn and other crops promised for the state this year would be in grave danger of neglect. But fortunately for

the state and the prosperity of its citizens the campaign will end with the primaries neit Tuesday, leaving the people free to turn their attention from politics. On the eve of the primaries for the choice of candidates for all public officers from United States senator and governor down to county officials, the situation is admittedly the most complicated in the political history of the Sunflower State. About the only feature in connection with the contest that stands out clearly is the fact that Jtepublican discord has increased the prospects of Democratic success in Kansas next November to an extent that would scarcely have been thought possible twelve months ago. That the Democrats are alive to their opportunity is evidenced by the fact that there is a great scramble to get on the Democratic ballot, there being an abundance of candidates in the primaries for every office to be filled. The contest for Republican presidential electors has been bo bitter as to attract nationwide attention. The attempt of the Taft following to de-

ifeat the enemy by injunction proceedings failed, with the result that I bot h the regulars and the progressives will have sets of presidential electors on the primary ballots. The progressives are fighting with might and main for a victory at the primaries. The battle is being directed by j Governor Stubbs, William Allen White 1 and other Roosevelt leaders of nation- ' al reputation. Stubbs Fighting. Governor Stubbs is fighting for the i Republican indorsement for United j States senator in opposition to Senator Charles Curtis, whose term will expire next March and who is a candidate for renomination. Senator Cur'.tls is a Taft supporter, while Governor Stubbs is on of the "seven governors" who persuaded Roosevelt to enter the presidential race. The governor Is making his fight on an out-and-out i progressive platform. Four Democrats aspire to succeed Curtis in the senate. They are Judge ; Thomas L. Bond of Salina, S. H. Allien of Topeka, W. H. Thompson of Garden City and H. P. Ferrelley of 1 Chanute. The Republican contest for the gnbnatorial nomination are Arthur Captper, the Topeka editor, and Frank J. Ryan of Leavenworth. Capper is allied with the progressives and Ryan !leans towards the regulars. The Democratic contest for the gubernatorial nomination is between J. B. Billard, .mayor of Topeka, and George H. 'Hodges of Ola the, a member of the State senate! The chief plank in Bilj lard's platform is the resubmission of the prohibitory law, in which he is opposed by Hodges. In addition to governor, both parties will nominate candidates for justices jof the supreme court, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor, treasurer, attorney general, superintendent of public instruction, superintendent of insurance and State i printer. Practically all the present State officials are candidates for renomInatIon. District judges and members pt the legislature also are to be nominated. Spirited contests are on in nearly iall of the congressional districts. All of the present representatives are candidates tor renomination. Anthony, of the First district, and Campbell, of the Third district, have opposition. Victor JMurdock of the Eighth district, one of the prominent Roosevelt leaders, is opposed for renomination by J. B. Adams, of Eldorado. Joteph Taggert, the only 'Democratic member of the Kansas delegation in the lower house, "will be nominated in the Second district -without any opposition. In addition to the Republicans and l)emocrats, the Socialists will have an almost, complete State ticket on the primary ballots. The Socialist party choice for United States senator is A. W. Ricker, of Girard, and for governor, G. W. Kleihege, of Lawrence. The Socialists will have candidates in Six of the eight congressional districts.

Settling His Bill. The late Eugene Field when a resident of Kansas City drifted into a cafe one evening with a party of friends. Along came the proprietor and asked Field if he couldn't arrange to square up that little account of his that had been running so long. "How much Is it, anyhow?' asked

the future author of "Little Boy Blue." "It's about $38," said the proprietor. "Couldn't you square that up now?" "Haven't got the money," declared Field. "If I had I'd pay you." "Well, I'll settle for whatever you've got," chanced the proprietor. Whereupon Field went through his clothes and dug up from all sources the sum of Co cents. The proprietor was game and settled the $38 account for Field's pile. But that wasn't all. "Isn't it customary," inquired Field, "for the proprietor to set 'em up when a customer comes in and squares up a $38 account?" "Well, yes, I suppose it is customary." admitted the proprietor. "Sure it is. What'll you have?" "I don't know what the rest of the crowd wants," says Field, "but I know what I want. I'll take a bottle of champagne."

T was killed on it two years ago."

The Brown Rat. The best way to make a good clear ance of rats is to turn a cobra into the place they inhabit. It will clear them out in an amazingly short time. But mottt people prefer the rats. Were it not for cats, owls, weasels and a few other animals in combination with man, in a short tirae the whole country would be one vast ratterj, for the rate at which these animals increase Is stupendous. They are without doubt one of the worst forms of vermiu, but they posst-ss one good quality. In a tight corner few animals are more courageous than the brown rat. Rnts hard pressed have been known to fly at a man's thrwit. Two or three, secure in a little fortress with a small open ing only large enough for one at a time to come in and go out, will defy a score of ferrets, and if one ferret with more courage than his brothers does venture to enter the lions' den he must look well to himself or he will never come out alive, London Globe.
