If Governor Won't We Will Is the
Substance of the Resolution
Adopted.
Oklahoma City August 3. The an-
swer of the state board of education
constituted as it was before Governor
Cruce ordered the removal of certain
members to the action of the gover-
nor in refusing to approve the bonds
and sign the contracts with successful
bidders for school textbooks is con-
tained in a set of resolutions which
were adopted Thursday night by R.'H.
Wilson president of the board and
Robert Dunlop. Scott Glen and Frank
Hayes "deposed" members.
The substance of the resolutions is
that if Governor Cruce refuses to O.
K. the bonds and sign the contracts
the president and secretary of the
board will approve them in behalf of
the people of the state. It is further
set out in the resolutions that the
bonds which were presented to the
governor for bis approval are furnish
ed by the same people who have hlth
erto furnished bonds for book com
panies qualified under the lttws of -the
state to execute such bonds.
The state treasurer Is ordered to re-
turn to bidders the certified checks
which were deposited at the time the
bids were entered.
Whether this action of the board
wil start the court proceedings which
will determine whether or not the gov-
ernor has the power to remove mem-
bers of the board and if so under what
conditions remains to be seen. Gov-
ernor Cruce said Friday that he had
not yet made up his mind fully whom
to appoint as successors to Dunlop
Glen and Hayes but he intimated that
'his mind was made up to appoint cer-
tain men whom he knows "will be a
credit to the state." More than twenty
applications have been received by the
governor for membership in the school
board -but the governor says tbwt ta
this case the effice will seek the maa
and that the man need not attempt
to seek the office.
One man was mentioned as being a
possible appointee provided he will
serve. This man is out of the state
now and no appointments will be made
probably until the entire slate is completed.
is a Taft supporter while Governor
Stubbs is one of the "seven governors"
who persuaded Roosevelt to enter the
presidential race. The governor is
making his fight on an out-and-out pro-
gressixe platform.
Four democrats aspire to succeed
Curtis in the senate. They are Judge
Thomas L. Bond of Salina S. N. Allen
of Topeka W. H. Thompson of Garden
City and H. P. Ferrelley of Chanute.
The republican contest for the guber-
natorial nomination is between Arthur
Capper the Topeka editor and Frank
J. Ryan of Leavenworth. Capper is
allied with the progressives and Ryan
leans toward the regulars. The demo-
cratic contest for the gubernatorial
nomination is between J. B. Ballard
mayor of Topeka and George H.
Hodges of Olathe a member of the
state senate. The chief plank in Bal-
lard's platform is the re-submission of
the prohibitory law in which he is op-
posed by Hodges.
In addition to governor both par-
ties will nominate candidates for jus-
tices of the supreme court lieutenant
governor secretary of state auditor
treasurer attorney general superin-
tendent of public instruction super-
intendent of insurance and state prin-
ter. Practically all of the present
state officials are candidates for re-
nomination. District judges and mem-
bers of the legislature also are to be
nominated.
Spirited contests are on in nearly
all of the congressional districts. All
of the present representatives are can
didates for renomlnation. Anthony of
the First district and Campbell of the
Third district have opposition. Victor

FIGHT IN KANSAS
Topeka Kans. Aug. 3. If the pres-
ent political campaign in Kansas had
much longer to run the big wheat and
corn an dother crops promised for the
Btate this year would be in grave dan-
ger of neglect. But fortunately for the
state and the prosperity of its citizens
the campaign will end with the pri-
maries next Tuesday leaving the peo-
ple free to turn their attention from
politics.
On the eve of the primaries for the
choice of candidates for all public offi-
cers from United States senator and
governor down to county officials the
situation is admittedly the most com-
plicated in the political htetory of the
Sunflower state. About the only fea-
ture in connection with the contest
that stands out clearly is the fact that
republican 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 opportun-
ity is evidenced by the fact that thero
is a great scramble to get on the demo-
cratic ballot there being an abund-
ance of candidates in the primaries
for every office to be filled.
The contest for republican presi-
dential electors has been so bitter as
to attract nationwide attention. The
attempt of the Taft following to de-
feat the enemy by injunction proceed-
ings failed with the result that both
the regulars and the progressives will
have sets of presidential electors on
the primary ballots. The battle is be-
ing directed by Governor Stubbs Wil-
liam Allen White and other Roosevelt
leaders of national reputation.
Governor Stubbs is fighting for the
republican indorsement for United
States senator in opposition to Senator
Charles Curtis whose term will ex-
pire next March and who Is a candi-
date for renomination. Senator Curtis
In additioh to the republicans and
democrats 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 so-
cialists will have candidates in six of
the eight congressional districts.
Despite the bitterness of the pres-.
mt fight between the two factions of.
the republicans the opinion prevails
among the foremost of the party lead- j
ers that after the primary battle is
over the rank and file of the party will
get together for a united fight against
the democratic opposition at the No-
vember election. The harmony work-
ers find much encouragement in the i
fact that even the most enthusiastic j
of the progressives have hesitated to i
suggest placing a third state ticket in i

on business returning on the after-
noon train yesterday. When he alight-
ed from the train he volunteered to
assist a young woman who had been
riding in the same coach in carrying
her suitcase.
The suitcase was unusually heavy.
Mr. Cook pulled away on the baggage
shifted from one hand to another
wondering all the time what could
make a suitcase so heavy. Then he
began to reason. "I remembered I
was in Fort Smith where there is an
abundance of liquor on sale" said Mr.
Cook. "I also remembered about a
young girl from Afton being arrested
for bootlegging. I put the two things
together and nearly dropped the suit-
case in the excitement of the revela-
tion and realization of the conse-
quences. "This will never do. I may be ar-
rested" I thought. "So I just low-
ered the suitcase mumbled something
about being in a hurry and walked to
Broadway with 'eyes front.' Just
think how embarrassing it would have
been for me to try and prove an alibi
when the liquor supposedly was my
own. I am glad It wasn't necessary
for me to get 'stung' before I learned
better than to be so accommodating.
