Governor Hoch Doesn't Want to
Name a Senator.
Would Make Enemies anl This
He Doesn't Like.
STUOIiS 0 T IN IT.
Friend of Governor Says Boss
Wouldn't He Named.
ISoch Wants to Go to the Senate
Himself.
"The last thing that Governor Hoch
desires to do is to appoint a new
Vnited States senator in place of J.
Kalnh F.urton." said one of the gover
nor's closo political friends yesterday.
"It can be set down for a certainty that
there is nothing which would please
Governor Hoch so much as to have J.
Ralph Hurton keep up his fight until
the expiration of his term of ollice."
In explanation of this statement
concerning the governor's attitude, the
man said;
"Governor Hoch h:-is a number of
friends who would want the appoint
ment if Burton should quit. To give
the place to any one of them would be
to turn all the others against him. The
result is that it would cost Hoch a lot
of friends to appoint a senator, and
Hoch is earnestly praying that he mav
ii ot be called upon to make such in
appointment.
"Do I think that Hoch is a candi
date for Cnited States senator himself?
I do nut think there is a bit of doubt
that Governor Hocli, would like to be
T'nited States senator; I do not think
there is any doubt that he is looking
with more favor upon the prosnect
everv day. Xot long ago. Hoch 'had
about made up his mind that he would
stay out of the race entirely; he
thought that the governorship 'was
enough for him. Since then things
have been opening up before him in'a
new light, and I feel sure that Hoch
would not run very fast if the senator
ship should take after him. It would
he much easier for the Republicans to
make him a candidate for senator than
it was to m.3ke him a candidate for
governor."
"Suppose the senate should throw
Bu'ien out?" was suggested.
'2i.sa tts governor would have to
appoint somebody, and 1 wish to make
Wiis prophecy; the man would not be
W. It. Stubbs. People who think that
Ross Stubbs has a 'cinch' on that place
in case an appointment becomes neces
sary will be fooled. Stubbs has not
been in harmony with Hoch in a num
ber of important matters which have
come up. While Hoch feels friendly
enough toward Stubbs, he would not
give him the senatorial job, if I can
read the signs right."
It is said that if TV. R. Stubbs finds
he is not able to land a place !n the
United States senate, he will throw
his strength to Victor Murdock. .
Murdock is one of the new men in
the senatorial ring. He has been
coming to the front so rapidly that his
senatorial boom may be looked upon
as premature. Murdock has the sen
atorial ambition, and has many friends
who are anxious to help him realize
that ambition.
Stubbs perhaps wants to put Mur
dock in the senate in place of Chester
T. Iong. Long is not one of the
i Stubbs crowd.
Judge K. H. Madison of Dodge City
was in Tcpeka yesterday to attend to
some legai mutters. In speaking of
political matters in the Big Seventh,
he said:
"I have seen something inthe pa
pers about a new 'Long machine'
which is being organized. This ma
chine, so far as we know out there in
tii Seventh district, exists wholly in
the imagination of the newspaper
men. Wo have not seen anything to
indicate that there is a 'Long ma
chine.' and it rather looks as though
we would he likely to know something
about it.
"I do not know of any new candi
dates for state offices. In fact things
are very quiet. Concerning the report
that Fitzgerald will be a candidate for
lieutenant governor I know nothing.
"Neither have I heard anything
about, Victor Murdock as a possible
candidate for the United States sen-ai,-
Murdock has many friends in
the district, who like to watch him
grow.
"I think that James Nation will
have a great many friends in our dis
trict in his fight for the office of state
auditor."
A prominent business man and
politician at Gay'.ord, Kan., gives this
statement about the Sixth district
congressional situation:
"A. G. Meade, who is said to be mak
ing a still hunt against Reeder is in
reality. I am creditably informed, work
ing in the interests of Senator I. T.
Young of his own court:-. Mr. Meade
is traveling about the district consider
ably, but it has come to the ears of
i Reeder that his mission is to help
Young."
It now seems likely that Bob McGoni
gal of Colby will land the endorsement
of the Sixth district for secretary of
state. It is Burrow's present ambition
to name his successor, and he has se
lected McGonigal for the place. John
Q. Royce is not a friend of McGonigal,
and is trying to stir up something to
beat him.
There was a boom started some days
ago for Charles Landis of Osborne for
the Sixth district endorsement as secre
tary of state. The Burrow people
charge this up to Royce. But it seems
that Landis has been sidetracked. He
comes out with a statement that he is
out of politics, and is busy attending to
his work as president of the First Na
tional bank at Osborne.
It seems to be the general sentiment,
even in the Sixth district that Colonel
Mize will have to stand aside in his race
for auditor. L T. Fairchild stands a
good show for the Sixth district endorse
ment for superintendent of public in
struction. Mr. Mizo, however, is keep
ing up a hard tight. Next-Monday he
will leave Osborne on a tour of the
Union Pacific counties of his district.
Mr. Mize feels very sanguine about his
chances.
According to a special act of congress.
Governor Hoch will have l.fiOO copies of
the lngalls memorial book for free dis
tribution. The governor's quota of
books have not yet arrived, though Sen
ator Long has mailed to each state offi
cer a copy.
The book is a neat little cloth bound
volume, containing a picture of the
lngalls statue which the state of Kan
sas purchased and placed in Statuary
hall, and all the proceedings and speech
es in congress relating to the
statue. About twenty speeches
were made by members of the Kan
sas delegation and other friends of Sen
ator lngalls at the time the statue was
unveiled.
The act provided that 16,r.0O copies of
the book should be printed. 10,000 for
the house of representatives, ii.000 for the
senate and 1,500 for the governor of the
Elate.
There has been such a large de
mand for copies of the speech which
Governor Hoch delivered at the Kan
sas City banquet on the subject,
"There s Nothing the Matter With'
Kansas." that the governor has had
a few thousand copies printed, and is
sending them out to those who write
to him about it, or to those whom he
thinks would be interested. j
People w ho heard this speech de- j
Clare that it was by far the best
speech the governor ever made. '
"Governor Hoch is improving as aj
speech maker." said one of the state
officers the other day. "He is getting
more polish and vigor than ever, and
people like to listen to him. Hoch's
speech making ability is one of the
things which is luring him into the,
senatorial campaign." :
"The First Xational bank of Topeka
will pay a dividend of from 50 to 5 5
per cent, in the next twenty days. It
will pay out in full, but how long it
will take I cannot predict. I have
nothing to say in a political way. I
am out of politics for the present."
Lawrence newspaper circles are con
siderably agitated by the story printed
exclusively in the State Journal con
cerning impending changes at that
town. Charley Finch of the Gazette
says that he knows all about what the
deal is, but won't tell. He follows it
up with this shot, which is evidently
intended to bring down W. R. Stubbs:
"It looks as though there is some
thing doing in Lawrence newspaper
circles. The only trouble about is from
a newspaper standpoint is that when
ever a man buys a paper, he denies it.
We have been in the business here in
Lawrence for "17 years. 17 years today,
and never before suspected that there
w-as really anything disreputable in the
ownership of a newspaper, or that it was
necessary for a man to conceal the fact
of his ownership in order to stand well
in the -eonimunitv. But perhaps we are
getting some old fogy notions. Possibly
the new generation of newspaper own
ers are fixing to do things that they
want their hired men to be blamed
for."

Appeal Can't Be Heard Hefore
March, 1907.
ASPIRANTS PLEASED.
Only W. It. Stulibs Might Profit
by Senator's Kemoval.
Formal Announcement of Can
didates Limited to Campbell.
State Treasurer T. T. Kelly has an
nounced his retirement from politics.
It happened at Kansas City the other
day, when he was caught trespassing
in the Union depot by a watchful
newspaper reporter. Mr. Kelly said; '
Grandfather of Europe.
Copenhagen, Dec. 2. King Chris
tian, who for a long time has been
called the "Father-in-law of Europe,"
is now the "Grandfather of the Conti
nent." The accession of Prince
Charles to the throne of Xorway will
make the second of his grandsons to
be crowned vi::.. the new king and
the emperor of Russia. Five children
and grandchildren of the aged mon
arch will thus be sovereigns like him
self. They are Queen Alexandra, the
Empress-Dowager of Russia, the King
of Greece, the Czar, and the King of
Norway. The example, it is believed,
is unioue in history.
Washington, Dec. 2. The general
feeling among Kansans and officials
and interested persons in Washington,
iu the Burton case, seems to be that
whether the Kansas senator's appeal
goes to the United States circuit court
of appeals or to the United States su
preme court, the delay in the ordinary
procedure will permit Senator Burton
to finish out his term of office.
In other words, pending the hearing
of the case on appeal, the fourth of
March, 1907, will come around, and
Mr. Burton's term w ill have elapsed in
a regular manner.
There is little probability that Sena
tor Burton, even in this case, will have
any of the real participation in things.
It is not likely that he will enter upon
the floor of the senate. He has not
done this since his first indictment in
January, 1904.- Nor is it probable that
there will be much if anything in the
way of official business that he will
transact. For the past two years. Sen
ator Burton has had his rooms in the
senate annex, and his secretary, Col.
W. W. Smith, with a stenographer, has
transacted such work as there was
for his office to do. Much of the cor
respondence has fallen away, part of it
going to members of the house of rep
resentatives; but the greater portion of
It to the office of Senator Long. It is
probable that Senator Burton will con
tinue to occupy his rooms in the an
nex, and that such work as may come
to him will be transacted, but nothing
of an important official nature.
When Senator Burton's case had been
tried early in 1904 at St. Louis, before
Judge Adams of the United States dis
trict court, which resulted in his first
conviction, he took an appeal at once
to the supreme court. The motion co
advance was tr.td, urged by Senator
Burton, and the result was a hearing
in the highest court of the country in
what was a remarkably brief time for
that court. The court assumed juris
diction, and remanded the case to the
court at St. Louis for retrial.
But this time, there will probably be
no effort made by Senator Burton to
have his case advanced in either the
circuit court of appeals or the supreme
court. Rather he will be anxious to let
matters take their turn, and bring the
result nearer to March 4, 1907, when his
term as senator will have expired.
Such action will be perfectly satisfac
tory to all candidates for the United
States senate to succeed Mr. Burton,
unless it be W. R. Stubbs. It is known
that Representa"- p p. Campbell, for
instance, who is one of the leadin can
didates for Mr. Burton's seat; and J.
L. Bristow of Salina, who has not yet
announced his candidacy, but is gen
erally regarded s being strongly in the
race; and doubtless Charles Curtis, as
well, have but one fear for their re
spective candidacies and that is that
the seat will become vacant before
March 4. 1907, and that, in such event,
Governor Hoch may appoint W. R.
Stubbs. While none of the three gen
tlemen mentioned would probably ad
mit that there is any particular ad
vantage in being appointed senator for
a few months, and while none of them
would hardly wish to oe placed in that
position, yet, with one accord. It is sus
pected they fear a, contingency which
would bring about the appointment of
Mr. Stubbs, and the possible leverage
this would give him in the fight for
members of the legislature next year
and in the contest before the legisla
ture in January, 1807.
So. among the leading candidates for
Mr. Burton's seat, it may be said without
any fear of contradiction, that they wish
M Burton no harm in his appeal: and
will be abundantly gratified if the trial of
his case on appeal shall not occur very
much prior to the latter part of the year
or the beginning of the year 1907.
While speculating on the possibilities of
the Burton succession, it has been sug
gested that one fine way for Governor
Hoch, in case he is re-elected governor
next vear. to take action, if there should
be a senatorial vacancy about January 1.
3S07, -would be to defer the matter until
the caucus has nominated Mr. Burton's
successor, and then appoint him to serve
the brief time before March 4, 1907, when
the full term shall begin.
Mr. Campbell, who. by the way, is the
only aspirant for the senatorship who has
thus far reached Washington, is not say
iner anything about his ambition. He has
arrived here for the winter's work in
congress, having put in his time to most
excellent advantage in Kansas during the
recess. While Mr. Curtis and Mr. Scott
were in the Philippine islands, and Mr.
Bristow was concluding his work as spe
cial Panama canal commissioner, ami
later getting settled in his new homo in
Salina : and Mr. Stubbs was engaged in
contracting and speculative pipe line
building, air. Campbell was hard at work
in his senatorial foundation-buiiding. He
accepted every invitation he received dur
ing the slimmer and fall; and attended
college commencements, old soldiers' re
unions, old Eettlers' meetings, picnics,
lodge meetings and what-not. He was
assiduous In his labors, and, so his
friends say. with excellent results.
Mr. Curtis has declared that this Is no
time to announce senatorial aspirations;
and that there will be plenty of opportu
nity later; but has not lost any time in
laying the groundwork for his ambition.
Mr. Bristow has been so busy remodel
ing his new home In Salina, and diting
his paper there, that, outside of Disking a
number of speeches around the state, ha
has not done much to cultivate his
sprouting senatorial boomlet. But It
is suspected that he will improve his tima
from now on.
The campaign for the Burton succes
sion is now on not only in Kansas, but
in Washington as well.
HOCH'S JOKE OX HIMSELF.
Governor Evidently I-'orgot to Get Oil
Train in Topeka.
Governor Hoch is telling a Joke on
himself; at least, there is reason to
suspect that it Is on himself, as the
governor arrived Saturday at 11 o'clock
on a westbound Union Pacific train,
when he was supposed to be coming at
7 o'clock from Junction City. The
governor says:
"There was an old fellow on the
train coming down from Junction City
that amused me considerably. Wre left
Junction at 5 o'clock, which was be
fore those pJaces which are said to
exist there were open for business.
This man I am teiling you about there
fore is likely to have been in a sober
state of mind. But he met a man
named Vincent on the train Bishop
Vincent, who used to be here at To
peka, and says that he became so in
terested in conversation with the
bishop that he did not observe that
his train had reached Topeka. Ha
was carried right through Topeka,
clear to Lawrence, before he discovered
his mistake. At least that's what this
old chap says. The result was that he
had to take the next train back to To
peka from Lawrence. Now what do
you newspaper boys like best: oysters,
ice cream or cigars?"
