THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. POLITICS IN OTHER COUNTIES VOLUME VI. The Plaindoaler Scribes Circulates Over the State and Interviews a Few of the Candidates for the Various County Officers. They Deserve the Suffrage of the People. HUTCHINSON NOTES. Andy Sims is at Hot Springs for his health. W. W. Fisher spoke at Garfield last Tuesday night. Mr. Fisher made a great hit. Arrangements are being made for him to speak here again during the campaign. J. B. Bass of THE PLAINDEALER was in town this week. A large crowd attended the big rally at Wichita Monday. Rev. Griffith, the new presiding elder, held quarterly meeting here Sunday. The people are very much pleased with him and are taking a new start for this year. FOR DISTRICT JUDGE. F. P. Hettinger of Hutchinson, Reno county, is making the race for district judge from the Ninth judicial district composed of Reno, Harvey and McPherson counties. In this contest he has the hearty support of a large number of the leading colored citizens in Reno county and they are anxious that the colored voters of this district should know of his friendly attitude toward the race that he may get the support that he is deserving from their hands. Mr. Hettlinger has been a resident of Reno county for the past 19 years where he has practised law, the Hettinger Bros. being the name of the firm. He is one of Hutchinson's progressive citizens, an able and experienced lawyer, who would bring to the judgement all of those high ideals which go to make a fair and impartial judge. There is strong sentiment throughout the district in his behalf for the position, and he will receive a hearty support from the colored voters of the district. All of the colored people of Hutchinson speak of him in the highest terms. Because he has at all times taken a keen interest in their advancement, they feel assured that in his election to the judge-ship of this district they will have a judge who will dispense justice in a fair and impartial manner. Mr. Hetlinger is a genial and pleasant man to meet, and his fair dealing and friendly acts have enlisted for him an army of supporters for the position to which he aspires from all classes and from all parties. SALINA NOTES. Nearly all of Salina's colored families own their homes. Several former Topeka residents are living here. Politics have begun to warm up, and it is going to be a warm contest for sheliff. Geo. H. Meyer, the popular undersheriff of this county is making a splendid canvass for the office of sheriff. It is admitted on all sides that his long and successful career as an officer in this county entitles him to that position. The business interests of the city are supporting him to a man. Many of the leading colored citizens are for him; in fact it is conceded that he will receive three-fourths of the colored vote. Mr. Meyers was raised up in this vicinity and knows personally all of our people. He has always been fair and there is no question of his friendship towards our people, and they will, regardless of politics, support him for any position to which he may aspire. Our people at this time receive no official recognition and know that in supporting a man who has always shown his friendship as Mr. Meyer, that they cannot at least lose anything. J. B. Bass was in the city last week in the interest of THE PLAINDEALER Johnny Neal, who runs in here on the Missouri Pacific, is on his vacation visiting the world's fair. has arrived, and has taken charge of the A. M. E. church. The town of Bassett, adjacent to this city, is putting on airs; a new jail is in process of erection. The colored people of Iola in large numbers are looking with favor on the candidacy of W. H. Thompson, the brilliant young attorney of Iola for county attorney. They take this view for various reasons, that aside from being friendly to them both himself and his father have always been interested in the advancement of our people. There is no question but that the tax prosecution of late years has increased crime in this community, and for what a few isolated criminals do, a stigma is cast on the race at large. A more popular nomination could not have been made than that of Mr. Thompson. He is making an active canvass, and there is no question but that he will get a strong support from all classes, and with a fair share of the colored vote there is no question of his election. E. E. ENOCH. Probate Judge E. E. Enochs of Wichita, Kansas is one of the pleasantest men to meet in all Kansas, and when once you have met him you cease to wonder at his immense popularity throughout Sedgwick county. The judge makes everyone feel at home in his presence and the humblest citizens receive as much attention as the most influential. The judge has always been a Jonah until appointed to the office of probate judge, as far as serving in the office was concerned. He was elected as police judge by the largest majority ever given a candidate for that position, but just about the time he was to assume the duties of that office, the Supreme Court said it was an appointive one. He was also elected justice of the peace and the legislature took away the fees. Mr. Enock, aside from serving in this position since January 11, was for five years deputy to Judge Thos. Wilson, and in electing Judge Enoch the people are not experimenting. The colored voters will stand by judge as a unit; even the ones who are fighting other portions of the ticket. WICHITA NOTES The Reflector has been revived as an anti-Republican sheet, edited by the veteran journalist, D. L. Robinson, and managed by Captain Sam Jones. They are creating quite a furor in political circles in these parts and Dan'l Boone has put some of the colored boys to work. The move has accomplished that much, if no more. Daniel Boone seems to be very unpopular as far as the colored population is concerned; probably it is a case of no love lost. W. L. Appling will get the solid colored vote as he is one in a very few of the officials in Kansas who believe in recognizing the colored vote to the extent of giving them a position in their office. The big barbecue at Riverside was a decided success. The fire started was so warm that Henry James has been working over to put it out. W. R. Ady of Ottawa is making a great race for sheriff. Many of the colored voters are for him. ATCHISON COUNTRY POLITICS. The people of Atchison county do not seem much stirred up over politics at this time, Lut probably may later on. We called upon the following nominees on the Republican ticket and found them happy, and they spoke favorably of the coming majorities which will no doubt be large. The men of this county always treat newspapermen right, and this class are always placed before the public: Hon. Frek Gliem, candidate for register of deeds, is now serving his first term, and the Republicans have nominated him for that office. He has filled the office creditably and now asks the people to give him their support. He has no opposition and they should give him no less than 1200 majority. Mr. Gliem is of German extraction and this county is full of Germans who support the Republican ticket. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 21, 1904 The popular county clerk, S. S. King, who came to Atchison forty years ago and who is a life long Republican standing well with the people, is a candidate for re election to the office which he has so admirably filled. He usually has no opposition, but some young man has decided to contest with him for the office which is of no use, because Mr. King is so well known and liked, having filled the office to the satisfaction of everybody, therefore he will be supported by both parties. His majority is never less than one thousand. The Republicans of this county can well be proud of their district judge, Hon. B. F. Hudson. He was appointed by Gov. Stanley to complete the unexpired term of Judge Bland, and has now been nominated for that office for the first time. So well has he filled this office and judicated all matters before him that he has won the esteem of all regardless of party. He is an old soldier, and was an adjutant in the Forty-sixth colored infantry. Judge Hudson was born in Chester county Pennsylvania and came to Atchison in 1870. He is a graduate of the University of Ann Arbor, Mich., having come directly from there to this county. He has filled the office of city attorney and there is but little or no question of his election. We called upon one of the stalwart Republicans of Atchison county last week, whom we claim to be one of the best mixers in the state, Hon.W.D. Kasey who is at pres nt, judge of the city court of Atchison. He has been nominated by the Republicans for probate judge, and the people will not regret the support they will give him, as he is a gentleman who respects the rights and feelings of everybody. He was appointed judge of the city court by Gov. Stanley, and it seems to be a tradition of his to climb step by step in the judgeship line until he has surmounted one of the highest rounds in the county. Mr. Kasey was born in Carroll county Mo., and was brought by his parents to Atchison when thirteen years of age. When a mere lad he was a newsboy, and it was at that time that he saved enough money to educate himself. He graduated from the law department "Depaw," Green Ca-tle, Lud. He afterwards distinguished himself as a jurist by the fair and impartial decisions rendered in all cases brought before him in the city court. There is no doubt of his election—the question that now confronts the people of the county, is what his majority will be. The Republicans of Atchison county have done something toward recognizing the colored voters, in that they have nominated Dr. G. G. Brown for coroner. While the office carries no remuneration, it is of some honor to be recognized by the pary to which he is allied. Dr. Brown was born in Missouri and came to Atchison in '86 where he has since lived. He is a graduate of the high school of that city and also of K. U. He completed a course from the medical and surgical department at the Howard University, and afterwards served a term in the Freeman hospital, where he equipped himself to go out into the world and compete with the best physicians of this country. There is no doubt of his election and we are told that the Democrats will give him their support which with his own party will in all probability make his majority large. Dr. Brown is a man of family, and very recently was blessed with the arrival of a baby girl, Marie Artoria. LEAVENWORTH POLITICS. R. G. McFarland, the popular clerk of the city court of Leavenworth has given entire satisfaction to the people and knows how to manage that office. Leavenworth is one of the closest counties in this state, and it is very hard to tell who is going to be elected sheriff. The Republicans and Democrats have off years, and do not follow the dictates of the party, but the Democrats have nominated for their standard-bearer for sheriff, Hon. Stance Myers. He is a candidate for re-election and is now serving his first term in this office. He served four years as under sheriff, and so well did he perform the duties of the office, that the voters irrespective of party elected him to the office he now holds. Mr. Myers was born in Leavenworth county in 1863 and was educated in the public schools of Leavenworth, and was circulator for the Leavenworth Times a number of years. He is a self-made man, having earned his education and won his reputation by the sweat of his brow. He is a property owner and tax-payer and contributes to the burden of taxation of the county. Mr. Myers is popular in several secret organizations, being a Modern Woodman, A. O. U. W., and an Elk. His majority was 1700 two years ago—the largest ever given to any one candidate in that county. Hon. J. W. Corey, the popular county treasurer of Leavenworth county, has no opposition for the office and will be elected by one of the largest majorities ever given a candidate in this county. He is one of the most successful farmers and stockraisers in this section of the J. H. HON. J. W. COREY. state, and is a gentleman of honor and ability. Such a man as Mr. Corey is the kind the people of the county want for state treasurer, so they will roll up a handsome majority to show how well he stands with the people of the county. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING! Gov. Bailey Starts a Fire in His Own House in Order to Escape Under the Smoke. TOM KELLY IS ALL RIGHT! The State Treasurer Can Account for Every Cent—His Bondsmen are Satisfied. Had Gov. Bailey used as much energy in trying to hold down the "machine" Legislature in the creation of useless offices and expenses to pay election promises and make a United States Senator and two United States Judges, as he is in trying to prove Tom Kelly a delaulter, he and all of us would feel better. The treasurer of this state has given a million dollar bond for the safe keeping of the state funds—one of these bondsmen being C. J. Devlin, a capitalist, a gentleman and a philanthropist. He says that he is confident that Kelly is straight and the state will never loose a dollar. Mr. Devlin thinks of and transacts more business in one day than all of the state officials do in a week, and mind, he has never had a law suit. He is not worrying about the treasurer being short, and why should a lot of howling Dervishes go about the street claiming that fourteen hundred dollars has laid out of the treasury for more than a year? Suppose it had, has anyone charged Tom Kelly with attempting to steal it? Rowett's trips don't prove anything and his examination of the state treasury does not show the state to be short one penny, and not until all of the descrepencies found by him has been traced down and money found missing for which no account can be given, then Mr. Kelly and his bondsmen will have to make good. What prompted the Governor to examine the treasurer's office? Was it because he knew something was radically wrong? No, but he was aware of the fact that he had been drawing money out of the contingent for groceries and washwomen, who by the way, has received more for washing than any women we ever heard of. The Governor drew his voucher for his salary ahead of time, and Honest Tom always honored them. Is this in accordance with that particular section of the statute, the Governor trying to make a defaulter out of Mr. Kelly? We thoroughly understand the Governor's nightmare; he is sore because he was not renominated for governor, and had he been, the people would not have heard of this treasury examination for it is an established rule that all political parties do not raise a scandal in their own party. The time to examine the treasury in all of its accounts is when the out going treasurer turns over the office to his successor. The treasury is operated like a bank or clearing house, it is not expected that the unpaid balance would be in the treasury all the time. The law requires the Governor, Secretary of State and Auditor to count the funds once a month—the money is always there. There is a big speculation in school bonds in this state and every fellow who has a pull tries to get on the inside, and if there is any profits or snaps, the friends of those in authority will naturally give it to them. This is the condition of the Commanche county deal. Had Gov. Bailey's friends made the $8,000 the Topeka State Journal would have been allied as the grave. The bonds are all right and the integrity of the people to pay them is all right. We who signed Mr. Kelly's bond are perfectly satisfied that the money will be accounted for when he goes out of office which will be after he has finished his second term. The people know the method that is used to put parties in power—co operation and individual. Put up the cash and when the men are once in office, they pay it back by legislation, appointments to office, etc. The Governor well knows that he owes his office to a set of men whom he had to favor and do their bidding after his election. We small fellows managed to get five and ten once in a while and were not to complain. Now let the fellows who Kelly won't let in on the treasury keep still, and see if he really means to steal. The money is there and he can account for it. NICK CHILES. It Was Our Mistake. Editor Topeka Plaindealer: You stated in your paper on the front page, under the head of "Conference Notes" that Rev. J. R. Ransom "made the largest presiding elder's report." If you mean that he made the largest report in the Fort Scott District your are correct, but if you mean that he made the largest presiding elder's report Kansas Annual Conference, then in they ou are wrong, and the state ment is not true. I hope that in justice to the Omaha District people and myself that you will correct the same. I give the districts below as reported to conference: Fort Scott District, Rev. J. R. Ramson, P. E. $760.35; Topeka District, Rev. J. W. Braxton, P. E., $738.35; Omaha District, George A. Griffith. P.'E., $852.30. At the hour of 2 p.m. according to appointment invited guests crowded the United States Legation which was most artistically decorated with flags, palm branches and the like. The city brass-band stood by which added considerable lightness and activity to the occasion. The day was fine. The sun displayed the granduer of its light willingly. This day marked the One Hundred and Twenty Fourth Birth Day of the independence of the United States of America. * Dr. Lyon, United States Minister Pesident and Consul General, being ill was unable to act his part and therefore deputised his Secretary, Mr. Ellis, to serve for him. Soon after the arrival of His Excellency President Barclay and his Lady, Mr. Ellis ask the guests to dinner. Every business was fixed, sumptuous was the feast. But Minister Lyon, being a man whose efforts are not easily silenced, was present with his lady. All filed and fragments still many large basket tulls, "The praise of Bacchus, then, the sweet musicians sung, of Bacchus ever fair, and ever young. Rich in treasure, sweet in pleasure, sweet is pleasure after pain." The verandas and parlor were occupied. Hilarity reigned supreme. But the Doctor lay quiet. His Excellency President Barclay, Ex-President Coleman, Secretaries of Treasury and Interior, Judges of Courts and Foreign representatives were asked to the Doctor room, where the following toasts were proposed:— Mr. Ellis, after expressing regret that the Minister's illness had disabled him to that extent that he could not speak for his government informed them that he had been requested to speak for him. He then made a few remarks concerning the lively friendship which exists between the government of the Republic of Liberia and that of the United States, asked that the gentlemen drink heartily with him the health of President Barclay. President Barclay then made a brief scholarly speech in which he gave many reasons why the happy friendship which has and now so easily exist between the two governments and said that he hopes no circumstances will ever arise to disturb the reciprocal feeling of friendly interest. He then proposed the health of President Roosevelt which was heartily drank. Mr. Ellis responded recounting in as brief a manner as possible the assailing features of the President's life. He spoke of his achievements in the police and civil services, military operations in the Spanish American war, and finally the success he is now making in the presidency of that great state. After this Secretary Ellis solicited association in drinking to the future prosperity of Liberia, To this toast ex president Coleman responded. He referred to what Liberia has done, expressing his firm conviction that the government of Liberia under the management of the wise and progressive President Barclay, will make leaps and bounds towards prosperity. After a few other complimentary remarks the happy company dispersed and celebration ended.—The Libera Recorder. Missouri Conference. The Missouri Annual Conference at Poplar Bluff last week handled a grand total of $3631. 60 for all purposes. Presiding Elder Snelson was treasurer of the Dollar Money fund and Disbursement Committee and handled all receipts and appropriations. The last dollar due on the Episcopal residence at 532 Washington Ave. Kansas City was ordered paid in full. Elder A. A. Gilbert is treasurer of this fund. Four were ordained Elders NUMBER 42. The Liberia Recorder Tells in its Own Peculiar Way of a Fourth of July Celebration in the Fatherland. Geo. Ellis, Formerly of Kansas Witnesses the Celebration. and seven deacons on last Sabbath by Bishop Grant assisted by Dr. Snelson, Rev. Buren, Rev. Barksdale, Dr. Vernon and Dr. Parks. It was an impressive ceremony. By a joint resolution introduced by Dr. Snelson, the entire Fifth Episcopal District, in every mission circuit and station will join in celebrating the semicentennial Jubilee of African Methodism in Missouri and all the west next June, when an attempt will be made to raise several thousand dollars for Western University and for the pioneers of the church.

Parks, Dr. J. Frank McDonald, Dr. Peck and Rev. C. R. Vaughan preached an able missionary and educational sermons. Dr. Roberts of St Paul Church of St Louis preached his farewell sermon and left for Chicago to take charge of Quinn Chapel. An appropriation of $300 was made to Western University and over $500 was paid to widows, missionaries, and superannuates of the Conference, which was a large increase over last year. The TOPEKA PLAINDEALER will get the printing of the minutes. Prof. Reynolds of Lincoln Institute. Jefferson City, read a matchless report on the Sunday Schools as did also Dr. Vernon of Western University on the state of the country. Bishop Grant simply surpassed himself in his ordination sermon Sunday morning. A dozen or more came forward and were enrolled as seekers. Presiding Elder Ransom of Kansas, made the "welkin ring" in a great effort Sunday afternoon and Dr. H. P. Parks poured our lightning at night. Five of the white ministers brought their greetings in well chosen sentiments. Memorial meeting in honor of Elder James Madison was participated in by Elders Stewart, Watson and Barkesdale. Peace to the memory of this grand old veteran. A surprise of the Conference was the marraige of Rev. P. S. Cheatham and Sister Lula Thomas, conference Evangelist Monday morning.

Atthe recent meeting of the Republican league which met in Indianapolis, the doctor was elected as a member of the Executive cum- mittee, and that committee will have the appointive power ofthe next place of meeting. He will do what hecan to briug the teagu, which meetsin 1906, to Topeka. This is ahigh recognition for the doctor, and Te Praixpearer *s proud that he was fortunate to get this place, as he is one of our strongest physicians and surgeons and will no doubt add strength to the committee. Another candidate who is popular with the people, and oneof the larg: est contractors and business men in the state,is Hon. J. B. Betts, who hasserved his county twice in the legislature,and has aow been nomi~ nated for the senate. ‘The people of this county can well be proud of him foz the reason that he is interested in the apbuilding of the state as well asthe county. Mr. Betts is one of the most successful politiciana we know and he has never met defeat. His friends are innumerable and we have our first timeto hear of any op- position to him. Heis a resident of North Topeka and has been for yeare He did much to alleviate the suffer- ing oof the people who were in the recent flooded disteicts of this city He owns one of the most handsome residences in Topeka, and still cling tothe North Side, and he and hi: estimable wife will do what they car to bring that side up to where it wa: some yearsago. Mr, Bettsis a large taxpayer and can be relied upon tc look after the interests of the ta payers. All Republicans should be on th alert and register in time, as ther are some machine fellows who ar trying todefeat Hon. Charles Curtis candidate for congressman. W. want him in congress and must elec him by a large majority. Let's d it. We understand that there i some slush money which has bee: sent in to defeat Mr. Curtis by pur chasing votes, Have nothing to di with this, but stand shy and suppor the straight Republican ticket. Mr Stubbs is nut to be led off by variou accusations made by the Topek Journal. He knows the turns of th party and the candidates and wi have nothing to do with wrong, an it he sees anything going wrong h will be quick to say so. The ma- chine fellows cannot play with him, as he stands for nothing but square work. He bas fulfiiled his promises aud will see that the party marches to victory. F.C. Bowen, candidate for re- election to the effice of county treas- urer, is filling that office credilatly, and can give account of every cent ef the coun'y’s nioney at any hour of fhe day or night, and will be elec by an orerwhelming majority. No Jone can he found who is better in- formed on the financial condition and the situstion ef the preperty of Shawnee county. Politics in Other” Counties. Cy earn hy 0 county have decide. to cect tieir: candidate for county attuincy at! che coming election, and have nomi- nad Hon, Lee Bond to fill the position. ‘There seems to be no doubt av to fis election, a3 he is wall thought ot by both parties and the people of the county admire his abity as a lawyer.

Mr. Bond hae practiced law with the firm of Atwoud & Hooper tor years, and the people of Leaven- worth say they will not be surprised fi he is elected by a majority of one thousand, The days ot bachelors hulding elective cflices in Kunsas ure drawing to a close, and Mr. Bond’s opponent happens to be one of this unfortunate class, and he is now serving his last term; for popu- larity does not extend to those why ure too close to support a family. One of Leavenworth'’s popular young bays, D. J.

Kavsas Federation Commer lat Interests, Wichita, Kansas, Dear Sir: Tam fn receipt of your circular le! ter of the Cth Inst. and have carefully Tead the name I can assure you that ‘any legitimaie effort to secure the pis- eago of amvadments to our present railroad law, making it more eifcctive fn correctiag the abuses complalae? of will"mect my hearty approval anu commend my most earnest support. In the printed card enclosed with your letter you state that you are in favor or the non-partisan movement to elect J. W, Robison (Republican), W, E. Ferguson, (Democrat), and 1°. H. Chase, (Populist), as members wf tho board of railroad commissiouers, but-you fail te give any reason why these geatlcmen are any more worthy of support than Mr, Walker or Ni- Whestley, bath of whom are cam @ates and were nominated on the “game ballot with Mr. Robison. I know “Mr. Robison, whom you recommes? and Uelleve he would make an escei- lent rallroad commissioner. As tz the other two gentlemen you name 1 Know nothing personally, but their 22 lection by a convention dominated ‘ the most {silvential railroad attorne: In the state fs caleutated to male a suspicion that sf elected they will Le ‘very weak chemptons of the interests of the massrs when ft comes to an Is sue between the shippers and the rail- roads. As ilese two gentlemen were nominated by regular political con- ‘ventions. I fail to see why you should showld call them “uon-partisan.” Tam pezzonally acquainted with Mr, Wheatley and Mr. Walker and ve | lieve them Leth gentlemen of Ks judgment .n tkat they wonld de! fairly with every phaso of the tra: — portation p14tem which may be pr. sented for their consideration, ‘The writer haa the honor of sers- ing on the board with Mr, Walher ant knows hereof he speaks when ho says that his sympathfe, are with the people and that ir all cases brought before the board the complaints or shippers have receiv as careful consideration and as jus a decision fiom Mr, Walker as any in: partial board could render. I notice that Mr, Robison, whom the Federation 1ccommends as a momber of the boar, also bears witness to Mr. Walher's efficiency and Impar tality. 1 would he cbliged to you, Mr. Reis- ing, if yon would cite me to a sing! ruling or deeision of the board that has not becn given the consileraticn ft deserved, cr has the board ever | rendered a decision unfavorable to pny of your members that you would reverse if yau had the power? Is it not a fact that you are blaming the board for Its failure to accomplisi the impossible? While limited in itr bowers to the state, are you not blam- ing it for not correcting abuses of Interstate Commerce, over which 1% fas no jurisdiction? It looks 23 though the Federattor was being worked by parties who have an ax to grind and who desire Bfr. Walker's dcfeat for revenge and not for the goo! of the people. I bellevs that the party led by Roosevelt and Hoch have nominated men for rail road commissioners who will be bette | champions «f the cause of the people | than the so-called non-partisan cantl | dates, for whese action no party caz De held responsible. Therefore yot + need not count me as one of the ten }| voters in tuls township on whom you | can rely 10 defeat as good, honorable || and efficient men as have been nomi | mated by either party for any positior | on either ticiet.

Scales, from the trustee board by Thomas Nepper, show the onward march of this Christian band under the faithful and devoted leadership of Rev. D. B. Jackson. The new church being erected at 5th and Oakland shows the strength, unity and zeal, and the self sacrifice of the workers of the Rose Hill Baptist Church. THE PLAINDEALER congratulates them upon such a remarkable showing and wishes them many a pleasant repetition of the occasion. Rev.

Cook, has made one of the best Register of Deeds that the county ever had. He has rightfully been renominated and should be re-elected by an increased majority. Mr. Cook, despite anything that may be said to the contrary, is a friend to our people and there is no reason or cause why he should not get the solid vote of his party. We knew that he is a supporter of enterprises conducted by our people and no one would wish to meet a fairer man; the efforts of no one who circulates a campaign story to injure politically, cannot count against him. The leading colored citizens of the county are supporting him and the many readers of THE PLAIN-DEALER will make no mistake in their continued support of this splendid young man. CHANUTE ITEMS.

I hope to see the time when our people will learn the good of a band. Every town or city that has a band shows industry for its citizens. J. B.
