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 Deganiue as a compositor on tnepa per he now owns. It took hini six years to make the transition from en ployee to employer. His politlcal'su 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 publican senatorial contest is likely to be Tought out between Scott and Cap pei providing Joseph L. Bristow. 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.
