New Governor in Kansas?

By Kansas tradition, popular Governor Andrew F. Schoeppel, who has served two terms, will not run again next fall. His probable successor: heavy-browed, hard-working Congressman Frank Carlson.

Republican Carlson, 53, has served eleven years in Congress, almost seven years on the Ways & Means Committee, is one of the committee's most conscientious members and an expert on taxes. He is a conservative on domestic policies, was an isolationist before the war.

Carlson backers include Alf Landon, still a potent figure in Kansas politics, and Senator Arthur Capper, who owns a string of influential Kansas newspapers. Capper, 81 next July, will probably retire when his Senate, term ends in 1949. Washington quidnuncs guessed last week that he was grooming Frank Carlson as his successor.
