KANSAS IS STRONG FOR REPUBLICANS. OBSERVERS THINK (Continued from First Page.) the industrial worker and the manu- facture When the McNary-Haugen bill was before the Senate both the Kansas Senators, Curtis and Capper, voted for the bill. The members of the Kansas delegation i the House, with the exception of Tincher, were for the bill. Tincher was the sponsor of the bill bearing his name and which came to be regarded as the administration bill. This was not satisfactory to the faymers’ organi- zations. They will favor such as the MecNary-Haugen bill legislation again when Congress meets. But the Kan- sas farmers are not ready at this time to rise up and throw the Repub- tican administration out on this issue. They are not down on the Republican protective tariff. Indeed, they are anxious to have the tariff made more eftective for the farmer. For ex- amble, the livestock men and the farmers generally believe they would e helped by the imposition of a duty on hides which are now on the free list. ‘While the sentiment in favor of the MecNary-Haugen bill is - widespread here, there are not a few farmers who are inclined to doubt its effec- tiveness, especially when other crops besides wheat and cotton are con- present stands six Republicans and two Democrats. It is probable that the delegation in the new Congress will be seven Republicans and one Democrat, and there is an excellent chance that the entire delegation will be Republican. The Republican gov- ernor, Ben S. Paulen, will be re-elected over his Democratic opponent, former Gov. Jonathan M. Davis, though prob- ably not by such a majority as will be given Senator Curtis.” An evidence of the low ebb of Democratic fortunes in Kansas s found in the fact that for five of the principal offices on the State ticket the Democrats have named no candidates this year. Rep- resentative Anthony in the first dis- trict, also has no Democratic ©oppo- nent. Such a Republican sweep even in this State which is strongly Repub- lican, could scarcely be expected if were hard and the farmers in Kansas is essentially an agri Southwestern Kansas is in better shape than it has been for years. It has had a record wheat ) and its wheat crop a year ago good and_ brought good prices. outheastern Kansas where wheat and corn are raised, is about normal. In that section are located coal, lead and zinc mines, and their busine: has been good, too. The stock raisers, particularly of cattle, are not so well off and some of them are grumbling. In the north cen- tral part of the State there was a corn crop faflure this year, due to the weather. That section has had several successive crop failures, and conditions are not so good. The condition of the farmers is re- flected generally in business in this State. The merchants in Topeka and other cities are doing fairly well, which means that the farmers have money and are buying. Kansas, in- deed, is one of the States which has revolt. made it possible for the Federal Re. | serve Bank of Kansas City, Mo., to show a more healthy report of busi- ness as reflected by financial transac- tions. The record of the banks in- dicates that business moved at a higher rate of activity through the third quarter of this year and into the fourth quarter than it did a year or two years ago. The bank’s survey shows that out of 23 leading crops in the area covered by its operations, which includes part of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Wyoming and a number of other States, 14 have been larger this year than last and 9 not so large. Both flood and drought conditions have been responsible for farm losses in some sections. ~An indication of the Improvement of business in Kansas is found in a report on the sales in four department stores in Wichita during the month of September. These sales aggregated $450,000, as compared with sales totaling $379,000 in September of last year. In Kansas City, Mo., the sales in four large department stores aggregated just about the same, no less, in_September this year, as they did in September last year. This in spite of the fact that two large mail order houses have this year opened up big retail establishments in Kansas City. Capper Lauds Administration. Senator Curtis and Senator Capper are both strong supporters of Presi- dent Coolidge, although they differed with him in regard to the McNa Haugen bill. Senator Capper in hi: speeches and his newspapers gives ise to the President for ais ad- ministration of the Governmént. He is preaching better co-operation be- tween business and agriculture. At the same time, Senator Capper insists that the farmer has not been given a square deal. But he expresses a belief that the farmer will yet get a better deal. “The outlook for the immediate future of the Kansas farmer is quite encouraging,” sald Senator Capper, addressing a meeting of business men. “The gross farm income for 1926 will be nearly $500,000,000 in this The Hecht Co. ports women's silk im- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, State, and at least $70,000,000 greater than in 1925." Senator Capper deplored, however, the fact that the purchasing power Farm prices, he sald, have dropped a total of 13 points this year, al- though the prices of other commodi ties have dropped only 8 points. The purchasing power of the farmer ! dollar has dropped, therefore, to 85 cents, the Ibwest in two years. There must be a halt to this, he said. He urged that more help be given by the Government In co-operative market- ing, and said: ¥ *“I look for further marketing legis- lation at the next session of Con- gress.” The campaign in Kansas is causing little real excitement this year. Sena- tor Curtis is campaigning all over the State, in considerably better health than he was earlier in the year. His opponent, Charles S. Stephens of Co- iumbus, is making the best of a hard job. He amuses himself and his auditors by taking the votes of Sena- tor Curtis and Senator Capper on various measures which have come before the Senate, where one Senator voted “aye” and the other “no.” His argument that both Senators could not be right and that now is the time to replace Senator Curtis. He has the support of the railroad brother- hoods because Curtis opposed the ‘Watson-Parks railroad labor bill. Davis Was Attacked. In the gubernatorial race former Gov. Davis is seeking election as a friend of the farmer. He was the “dirt” farmer candidate in 1922 and won. But he lost to Gov. Paulen in 1924, Gov. Davis came in for a great deal of adverse cr m in the last his term of office because of f the parole and pardon of the govern Indeed, he i and tried on charges of received money for pardons, but was not convicted. He is char ing now that his enemies sought to ruin him, caused the death of his wife, and fed him typhold germs. Gov. Davis, when he went into office "appointed a tax commission which increased the valuation for tax purposes of the utility corporations and raflroads by $151,000,000, or 30 per cent. This meant an increase of some $3,000,000 in taxation. The corporations went to court and at- tacked the increase. The case was pending_when Gov. Paulen came into office. "He appointed a new tax com- mission, and finally the case was com- promised so that the increase should be 5 per cent instead of 30 per cent. Gov. Davis now charges Gov. Paulen did the bidding of the corporatio and that the farmers have to pay more taxes because of the reduction of the taxes which he, Davis, would have caused the corporations to pay. Duri the 18 an Gov. Paulen was opposed not only by Da- vis but also by William Allen V who ran as an independent and anti. Klan candidate, charzing that Paulen was the chofce of the Ku Klux Klan. Paulen received 320.000 votes, Dav 189,000 and White 149,000. This year, however, White is supporting Paulen, holding that he has made a better record as governor than did Jona- than Da The Klan is not openly IS YOUR CAR INSURED —against_accidents, and liability for accidents?

D! satisfaction with appointments made by Paulen, who failed to give the Klan all the jobs it thought it should have, is given as a reason for the | organizations’ coolness to Paulen. The Klan, generally speaking, is not as | strong in Kansas, as it was two years |ago. " This is particularly true here |in Topeka, it is said. Paulen Is ex- !pected to win by from 60,000 to 70,000 votes. Ayres Has Hard Fight. The two congressional districts now represented by Democrats are the second and the eighth. The sec- ond 1is regarded as the most likely fleld for Republican gain. It is rep- resented by Chauncey C. Little, and his Republican opponent is U. S. Guyer. The district is_considered normally . Republican. Representa- [tive W. A. Ayres, Democrat, faces a {hard fight in the eighth district, | where he i3 opposed by Fred L. Bell, now county clerk. While Ayres was | being elected by 16,000 votes in 1924, | Bell defeated his Democratic opponent | for county clerk by the same number of votes. Bell and his Republican supporters in Wichita, have obtained |an old church bell, which they have hung up in a much-frequented part of the street. Dangling from the bell is a rope, and Republicans are urgec |to give it a yank as they walk by The result has been an almost inces sant clanging of the bell. Little belly have been adopted as the campaigr emblem of the Republican candidate, and Republicans ring them too. This constant din is beginning to get on the nerves of the Democrats. Representative Tincher s not a candidate to succeed himself in the clections this [Fall. His announce- ment that he would not be a candi- date, however, is attributed by men who know him not so much to fear that he could not be re-elected be- cause of his opposition to the MeNar: Haugen bill as to cther and more personal reasons. Court Ts Not Issue. The World Court and prohibition are not figuring in the campaign in this State. Generally spraking sentiment is adverse to the court, though not so strongly as in Missouri and Illinois. Kansas has been dry so long that no wet candidate would dare to raise his head. Nevertheless, there is more illicit manufacture of liquor and boot legging in the State than there was before prohibition, it is reported. This largely due to the fact that Kansas can not now, as they did before Vol- steadism, go over into Missouri and get all the liquor they wanted. In 1924, President Coolidge recelved 51407,671 votes in Kansas against 156 319 for John W. Davis and 98461 for the late Senator. LaFollette. The vote this off year is not expected to be nearly so great. President Coolidge was on the of the wave of popu- “PERPETUAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION PAYS 5% Compounded Semi-Annually Assets Over $13,000,000 Surplus, $1,000,000 Cor. 11th & E Sts.

He reccived a larger vote by 40,000 than did Presi- dent Harding in 1920. This year he is not a candidate for office. Tf some | of the farmers have cooled toward Coolidge, it may be set down in part | as a reaction from the heights of popularity he attained here in 1924, | and in part because some have been | disappointed that he did not take the Western point of view re ng farm relief.
