Topeka, Kas., Jan. 29. Kansas ex
pects to elect a Republican United
States Senator to succeed W. H.
Thompson, Democrat. The choice of
a candidate will be ma.de in the pri
maries next summer and the election
will follow in November. Already the
G. O. P. generals are mustering their
forces, and the majority by which Mr.
Thompson was elected in the Demo
cratic landslide in 1913 is to be re
verEed and a Republican-will be sent
to Washington to occupy a seat in
the upper house of Congress.
The Republicans will have a variety
of aspirants from among whom to se
lect their senatorial candidate in the
primaries, and this fact is considered
by the party leaders as a most favor
able indication. With the primaries
still more than six months distant,
there are three announced candidates
for the Republican senatorial nomina
tion, and a fourth whose friends ex
pect to come out. Those Jwho are
hopeful for the success of the Re
publican party next fall view with
complacency this contest for nomina
tion. The three announced candidates for
Senator Thompson's togs are Arthur
Capper, Topeka newspaper publisher
and present Governor of Kansas;
Charles F. Scott, Iola newspaper jpub
lisher and for many years a represen
tative in Congress, and Walter C.
Stubbs, who was Governor of the
State in 1911-13. The fourth aspir-
ant, whose formal announcement is
expected daily, is Joseph L. Bristow,
owner of the Salina Journal, former
United States Senator, and for many
years a Republican leader of nation
al prominence.
The first candidate to announce his
intention to ran for the Republican
nomination for Senator was Charles
F. Scott, His announcement was
made at a convention of Allen -county
Republicans held March, 1916, to se
lect delegates to the State convention.
Mr. Scott is a native Kansan and has
a wide acquaintance extending to ev
ery part of the State. He has been
in the newspaper business since .1882,
the year following his graduation from
the State University.. Some 25 years
ago he started on his public career us
a member of the Kansas Senate. In
1896 lie was chosen a presidential
elector and in 1901 he was sent to
Congress Durinr his service of five
consecutive terms Hn the National
House ?.of "Representatives he made a
record for ability and reliability.!
MT. Capper is credited with baring
entertained an ambition to go to the
Senate ever since he was . elected to
the governorship. Mr. Capper is a
Journalist of note with an 'excellent
record, of administrative foresight
and courage to his credit since he
took up thefreins of government. He

years to make the transition from en

cess he owes to his, progressive poli
cies ,and to the nerve and directness
of his methods as a propagandist and
as an administrator. He is far from
being, a militarist and used his influ
ence officially and personally against
the nation's entrance into the war un
less absolutely forced to by Germany.
Since the issue was Joined, however,
he has 'heartily supported the admin
istration. But if elected to the Sen
ate he can be counted on, as another
member hostile to war as war, and
eager for judicial and arbitral settle
ment of international disputes.
Present indications are that the Re

does not get into the race. With
Bristow In the running , the complex
ion of the contest will be materially
changed, for "Joe" Bristow, as he is
familiarly known to every Republican
in Kansas, is certain to be a factor of
first importance
tfo Kansan In public life is more
widely known than Joseph L. Bristow.
As owner and editor of several daily
newspapers he has wielded much in
fluence in his own section of the
State for more than a quarter of a
century. In 1895, as private secretary
to the Govemoretashrdl,XZro& &
to Governor Merrill, - he extended hi3
acquaintanceship to party leaders
throughout the State. He made a
national reputation in the office of
fourth assistant postmaster-general,
which he filled from 1897 to 1905.
rrom 1909 to 1915 he -sat in the Unit
ed States Senate.

Democrats of Brunswick county are
urging former Senator W. B. Cooper,
of Wilmington, to enter the race this

distriqt, composed of Brunswick and
New Hanover counties, in the next
Legislature, so well pleased are they
with the record he made when in the
General Assembly four years ago.
The announcement from Wilming
ton Sunday that the New Hanover
Democratic Executive Committee had
held a meeting on Saturday and se
lected the date for the primary was
received with interest here, since it
is In this primary that the next Sen
