WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Winter wheat planting in Kansas is almost finished.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas political legend Bob Dole says that recent stops in his just-finished tour of the state have him thinking that U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts’ chances of winning re-election are “looking better.”

Dole told The Associated Press on Monday that he believes Roberts has picked up a little momentum and has been getting a good reception at recent events.

The 91-year-old former senator last week finished a months-long tour of all 105 Kansas counties and spoke by telephone from Washington. He was the GOP presidential nominee in 1996 and is a former U.S. Senate majority leader.

Dole made multiple campaign appearances for Roberts and Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

Roberts is in a close race against independent candidate Greg Orman. The challenger told reporters Monday that he greatly respects Dole.

DETROIT (AP) — Federal regulators are investigating whether Honda Motor Co. failed to report deaths and injuries that occurred in its vehicles.

Federal law requires automakers to submit quarterly reports on deaths and injuries, warranty claims and other incidents. Legal claims alleging that a defect caused a death or injury must also be reported.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says Honda may have failed to report incidents related to Takata air bags as well as other defective parts. Honda has recalled more than 5 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix their air bags, which could injure occupants if they deploy after a crash.

Honda could face fines of up to $35 million if NHTSA finds it failed to report the incidents.

A message seeking comment was left with Honda.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and Democratic challenger Paul Davis are making multiple stops across Kansas as they try to pick up the last few votes ahead of Tuesday’s election.

Davis started Monday by greeting western Kansas voters in Dodge City. He then traveled east to Greensburg, Pratt and Great Bend.

Brownback toured south-central Kansas and had stops in Garden Plain, Derby and Andover.

The governor is pressing his case that personal income tax cuts enacted at his urging have spurred an economic comeback for Kansas.

In Topeka, retired nursery owners Jim and Diane Herynk (HUR’-ihnk) said they voted in advance for Brownback because he lowered taxes as promised.

But Davis told The Associated Press that there’s general dissatisfaction with Brownback over the budget problems his tax cuts have caused.

POTOSI (AP) – A 75-year-old man who was given the death penalty for killing his wife in a 1992 courthouse shooting rampage has died at a Missouri prison.

The state Department of Corrections on Monday said Kenneth Baumruk died of apparent natural causes late Friday at the Potosi Correctional Center in southeast Missouri.

Baumruk shot and killed his wife, Mary, at the St. Louis County courthouse in Clayton on May 5, 1992, as their divorce hearing was about to begin. He also wounded both of their lawyers, a security guard and a bailiff, and fired shots at the judge, three police officers and others.

Police returned fire, striking Baumruk nine times, including twice in the head.

Prosecutors said Baumruk had flown to Missouri from his home in Seattle with two handguns in his luggage.
