Canfield downplays endorsement stir in gubernatorial race
Ken Canfield, Republican candidate for governor, minimized a controversy over an endorsement from a Newton Christian newspaper. Publisher Russ Jones urged support in the Aug. 1 primary, though Jones did not disclose ties to Canfield's campaign. Barnett campaign cried foul while Canfield defended himself, noting the paper did not endorse him personally. The piece also mentions Barnett's ads and a broad political context amid a neutral voter polling backdrop. The report blends with notes on Llewellyn Crane's appointment and Kansas tax reminders for cigarette purchasers.
