Sr SY The Old South is Growing Calm, But the Negro Should Always Keep His Trusty Winchester and Plenty of Coal Oil Close at Hand! ‘ / \ . f THE MGOR) FARMERS * MEET! An Organization of Men and ‘Women Who Have the Best Interest of the Race at Heart, The Suotiower State Agricultu: rists held their second trf-annual meeting at Lake Virn as beautiiul Nittle burg, five miles Northweat of Lawerence on the Santa Fe, Repre: sentatives from the varioue localities were present to discuss sub jects aod their common causesin agriculture and the body politic or social sci- ence as well as an outing after many days of toi! and harvest. From the firat this meeting was of untold interest because of the num ber of men who have risen through hardship and sacrifice into promi- nence and have gained 2 commer- cial standing. It was also interesting to note that these men invariably attributed success totheir everlast- ing stick-to-it-ness and the superior wisdom and judgement cf their ‘bet ter halves.’ Our venturing to say, “that a man could not be » successful farmer without a wife,” Fridey afternoon session was held upon the farm of Authur Emery first wice-president and a progressive young single farmer who owns 240 acres three miles west of Lake Virn. Here the agriculturists feasted upon the hospitalities of a well managed farm home which stands in an iso— lated district ae a monument to all races, Mr. Emery’s doings for years from the kitchen to the corn field was carefully scrutinized, and every intermediate exacted praised and admired. J.C, Carson says, Emery has at least been “sawing wood" and is doting more to so-called race problem than all the curbstone poli- ticlans in Kansas” J. G. Groves says, “Emsry is atrue Kansan and a protege.” The agriculturists left their best wishes rnd pragera fur the continued success of Bro, Emery who was also aduised by a senior member to “look well hejoee he leaped.” Saturday's session began with the “Glory of Farm Tife’ Walter P. Groves who pointed out the many ways in which farm hfe could and should be made more attractive for the young and how in modern times the riding tools, which are an eco nomic necessity, have made farming a pleasure and a luxury, Some of the strong points of this paper were: “[ belleve the only solvation and true bappinees for our people is through God's soil for itis through this medium we moke rapid strides towards the mark of higher recogni- tion sn all vocations os life.” Hap- pines and success are synonymous terms upon our modern farms and are sure to attend those who have been trained to work to the best advantage, to think with precision and act advisedly " What could be more glorious and aspiring than our farms of fourish- ing flelbs of golden grains and ore charde of a reddish hue? We have coro or potatoe rows for streets, Our own vehicles for atreet cars, box cars for commission houses, our signature for security and our deter: miuation to accuraulate our aepira: tion, Weknow no humiliation te endure except to toiland reap the benefits thereof.” This paper enyoked many com meats and was ably discussed with mianp additional points. “More Domestic Science in Farm Hoes", by Mrs, R. P, Brown, Loring, should be read by every girl in Kansas and ite advice heeded, Bhe points out toe sbrolute neceasity offour farm gitls receiving more attention, being educated and proficient fromthe wash board to the Bradbury, “To edacate-the gnen only is to rreate s bacholor ——e a oo er Peveese OES ignorance and education will not go hand in hand.” We must impress upon our gitls the fact that the larger end cf the heart of an Afro-American ia greatly infloenced by hie stomach and that this end roust always be first and life will be happier and fewer family epats and divorce cases, “Girls become proficient fo higher domestic science and arts or you willide old malds‘ hereafter.” Mrs. Brown left many valuable recipes and sugges- tlons fur digestion and azsimila- tion.” W"Camp Dinner by Farm Girls,” could not be surpassed, Mrs, Brown verified her paper in toto, “Advan tages of “Smalt Fruits for Uplands.” 11.8. Furuch, Mancie, This paper was based upon the doings uf Mancle agriculturisss, He cited many ad- vonrages of small frults over field cropsfor uplands ond abvises the fartaers of all sections to utilize their waste lanes by this method os cul- ture giving the best kinds of fruits | for the differenrslopes and svil, Mr. French predicts that within ten yeats every railroad station in Eastern Kansas will be a market for any small fruit or vegetables ond advises the farmers to begin now so as to be prepared to reap the cream inthis new move, He names a number of homes won by small fruit culture and the adaptability of our people as horticulturists. Mr, French answered many questions quoting standard authorities. “Renting as a Menace to Our Progress,” Authur Emery. Com: ments of any kind upon this paper will not suffice for every renter should heed its wisdom and truths, portrayed the condition of our people ten, fifteen years ago from Kansas City to Topeka, and today, The contrast was very striking and forceful, andthe impression will not beforgotten saun. Emery shows how, if he had begun renting instead of buying, by this time he would have paidtwicethe value of the land and still without an equity. “Do not become marned to a section of country where you aro lurced to rent.” C reon, Groves, Wm, Hines and French corroborated Limery'’s statements, Many farmers expressed themselves well repaid by hearing this ous subject of so much vital importance so discusscd. “Poultry Kaising for Profit,’ by A, Lewis of N, Topeka. The several essential pointa of poultry raising was presented and was highly com. mended especially by farmer wives, Nre, R, P. Brown told how ehe had | been able to support a family, buy herown clothes and place sixty dollara to her creait in the bank sn], the last three months all from the}, sale of product of two cowa and poultry yard, Mee j.

By this hour Groves had become so eethused by interest showa in previous discus sions uotil he seemed touched by the Anircit and turned ta the higheat NEGROES MUST STAND PAT!

A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of the new Rotterdam quay is related by the Technische Dundschau. Rams had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the pilots. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some pilots, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been carried entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. Whe leaving the plies in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remaining crinned to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings.

FULLER, C. P. A. Topeka, Kus B. W. Shelton's TOM M'NEAL FORCES THE EXREBEL TO SHOW HIS HAND. HARRIS PRAISES ROOSEVELT But McNeal Makes Him Admit He Is Sorry Roosevelt Is President—Democratic Campaign Managers Are In a Big Row—Jarrell Raps Overmyer and Joe Wright Paya Hia Compliments to Col. Harris. 1 Col. Harris of Chicago, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Kansas, has been trying throughout the campaign to curry favor with Republicans by throwing bouquets at President Roosevelt in his speeches. Col. Harris would persuade the voters that he is very much a Roosevelt man and that he could be depended upon to carry on the state government on the Roosevelt model. That this sort of talk from Col. Harris has been only buncombe intended to catch Republicans with a leaning toward independent voting, everyone has known all the while but Harris' absolutes insincerity was never fully exposed until a meeting at Siegel last week when he was compelled to admit that he is sorry that Parker was defeated for President and Roosevelt elected. As Kansas gave Roosevelt nearly 139,000 majority over Parker, Kansas voters will probably greatly appreciate the statement of the Illinois "colonel" that he is sorry Parker was defeated. However, the admission was forced and came only after Harris had been nettled by several hand raps from T A McNeal, the Republican mayor for state prison. Harris had just preceded McNeal as a speaker. He had paid his usual "soapy" compliments to Roosevelt. When McNeal began speaking he referred to the endorsement of Roosevelt by Col. Harris. "I am glad to hear a Democrat speak so highly of our Republican President," he said, "and I infer from Col. Harris' remarks that although he voted for Parker he is really glad Roosevelt was elected." A laugh started and it was too much for the touchy Chicago man who jumped excitedly to his feet and shouted "It's not so I said nothing of the sort. Can't you be fair?" "There is no intention on my part to be unfair," McNeal replied quietly. "If I have misrepresented Col Harris, I beg his pardon. I simply inferred from his speech that while he voted for Parker he is pleased at Roosevelt's election. Of course I Col Harris is sorry that Roosevelt was elected and his tribute to the President is therefore meaningless, I stand corrected." The Chicago man made no reply and left the platform "madder than a wet hen" IN A BIG BOW. The fact that the Democrats made a mistake in turning W F Sapp down for reelection as chairman of the state committee and a bigger mistake in placing W H Ryan in charge of affairs at campaign headquarters has become so apparent that even the Democrats are acknowledging it and some of them are doing a mighty lively lot of kicking about it. Ryan has been an absolute and positive failure in his work as chairman up to this time and his incompetency is so marked that even David Overmyer has been prompted to admit that a mistake was made in the deposition of Sapp. It is rumored here in Topeka that Overmyer went to Democratic headquarters recently and kicked up a big row with Ryan because the latter has been doing nothing toward building up an organization. Of course neither Overmyer or Ryan will discuss the matter for publication but there is little if any doubt regarding the authenticity of the rumors. Perhaps the best evidence that all is not moving smoothly and that there is dissatisfaction with Chairman Ryan is furnished by the Kansas City Star. The Star is the official organ of the democratic party in Kansas and it gets inside information direct from all the Democratic candidates in an editorial published only a few days ago the Star openly and frankly acknowledged that the Democratic campaign lacks ginger. The editorial also intimates that the Kansas Democracy has lost its power of action and indicates that the chances of the election of Col. Harris of Chicago as Governor of Kansas are not strong. The editorial was as follows: It may be their strong feeling of reliance on the strength and popularity of Colonel W. A Harris which causes the Democratic leaders in Kansas to content themselves with the policy of letting the campaign for Governor sort of take care of itself. It is certain that they are not displaying the energy and the aggressive spirit which a leader like Colonel Harris might well inspire. It is most unfortunate that a protracted lease of power tends too violate a political organization and render it faithless to its duty, and that, on the other hand, when a party remains out of business for the period of time that the Democracy of Kansas has been idle, it seems to lose the power of action and to become listless and flabby. JARRELL BOLTS WEBB. And Tells What He Thinks of David Overmeyer. First district Democrats are having lots of trouble. First they nominated a Democrat for Congress against Congressman Chas. Curtis. The Democrat knew the nomination was an empty honor and withdrew. Then the Democrats spent two or three weeks trying to get a Republican to accept the Democratic nomination on a tariff revision platform. Finally they were successful and Judge W. D. Webb of Atchison was influenced to permit the nomination to be fastened on him. And now the Democrats are bolting Webb and a big internal row is stirred up. J. F. Jarrell, editor of the Holton Signal and chairman of the Democratic press bureau, has bolted Webb, although he says there was nothing to bolt, and announces his intention to support the Prohibition candidate. Jarrell charges the Democratic congressional committee with exceeding its authority in nominating a Republican and has landed squarely on the toes of David Overmyer, who with the assistance of the Kansas City Star, engineered the deal for the nomination of Webb. Overmyer is tremendously angered at Jarrell because of the latter's open bolt and charges it up to Balle Waggener. Overmyer says Jarrell is "only a tool of Balle Waggener." Jarrell comes back in a signed statement in which he intimates that a man who would make such a charge would violate the trust imposed in him if he were made attorney general. The closing paragraph of Jarrell's statement is as follows: Hon. David Overmyer is greatly disturbed about the "bolt," and he is quoted as saying that I am a 'tool of Italio Waggener. That assertion, if Mr. Overmyer made it, is untrue, and even if it were true, it wouldn't be anybody's business, for I am not a public official, nor do I aspire to any political honors. I have enjoyed the friendship of Mr. B P. Waggener ever since I was a boy, and I value it very highly. The kind of politics that leads one man to attack another because of personal friendship and associations is evil enough to prompt him to betray a trust. SHE MUST SIDE STEP. Mrs. Burton Must Stop Denouncing One Democratic Candidate. The Democratic committee has employed Mrs. Ella Burton of Topoha to make speeches against Governor Hoch and the Republican state ticket this fall Mrs. Burton won Democratic favor by an attack on Governor Hoch for appointing D. O. McCray as a member of the state text book commission. The attack was made in a speech at a Labor Day celebration in Topoha. Mrs. Burton chats, that McCray is a tool of the alleged book trust and that she took Governor Hoch so before McCray was appointed d. Because the Governor did not believe her unsupported word Mrs. Lutton says the Governor is also a tool of the book trust When Mrs. Hinton was trying to keep the Governor from appointing McCray she was making a particularly bitter fight against the appointment of Prof A B Charny in concordia. She made all sorts of claims against McCray and Carney and was particularly bitter toward Carney whom she also characterized as a look trust employ. Governor Hock appointed both McCray and Carney. Carney is now the Democrat nominee for state subordinate of school so he has been nominated by the Democratic party as well as by Governor Hoch. Mrs. Hinton will therefore be in father an inconsistent position when she goes out to fight Hock and support Carney. RAPS HARRIS HARD. Populist Editor Says the Colonel Be- teaved His Party in 1897. Joe Wright of Smith Center, one of the host known Populists in the state and editor of one of the staunchest Populist newspapers in Northwestern Kansas is fighting Col. W. A Harris of Chicago and the Democratic state ticket very bitterly. Wright was a stalwart Populist in 1896 and 1897 and is among those who attribute the disasters which overtook the party to the perility of Col. Harris and those other fusion senators who betrayed maximum freight rate legislation during the Leed) administration. In a recent issue of his paper, the Smith County Messenger, Wright prints the following reply to a Populist to know why he fights Harris more than Governor Hoch "You say more against Harris than Hoch," said a subscriber the other day. Certainly we do, just at this time. Governor Hoch never stole us blind and then betrayed us while pretending to be our friend. To us, that is the limit of forebearance in politics. Does he or any of his Parker corporation acrobats deny it? Not one. The Senate records of Kansas amply prove it, and still every few days some Populist wants information as to why we are not for Harris." Still, for some reason or other, the wonderful things done by Colonial Harris in the senate which prove his superior qualifications for the governorship are yet unspecified. Why this delay? Perhaps Colonel Harris, of Chicago, thinks the Kansas old soldiers will vote for him through gratitude that he didn't kill them when leading his Confederate regiment against the Union.

MESSRS FARRELLY AND RYAN ALSO RECEIVE ATTENTION FROM THE POPULIST LEADER. Says Pretensions of Democratic Candidates Are Not Honest. Col. W. A. Harris, the Chicago man the democrats have nominated for governor of Kansas, is getting small comfort from his former populist aliens. The populists have no use for Harris because he broke faith with and betrayed him in 1897 after he had used them to boost himself into the United States senate. The public record of Col. Harris will receive no more severe exorbitation during the campaign that it received in the letter of Horace A. Keefer in accepting the populist nomination for governor. Keefer's statements regarding the record of Harris are entitled to serious consideration for three reasons. Keefer and Harris were neighbors in Leavenworth county for years, they fought side by side politically in Leavenworth county in the '90's when the populists and democrats were allied and they served in the legislature together when Harris betrayed the populists by defeating promised railroad legislation in order to bring about his own election as a representative of the populist no nation. Keefer handled Harris without gloves and present many proofs that Harris' present position of reform principles are not honest. Mr. Keefer said in part "The democratic nonhoe, Col Harris, was called from Chichester, where he is guarding the railroad Battle Dealers' association, the control of which he wrenched from the real producers at the recent convention in Denver, the producers being compelled to form another association for their protection—by the very men who have always stood for railroad interests in the democratic party; and in accepting the nomination Col. Harris saved the men (Parrelly and Ryan) who, with him, were the most realious in defeating everything the fusion forces were pledged to and had proclaimed the people in 1821. They are the trio who are responsible for the delivery of the populist and democratic anate of 1827 to the railroad lobby The Harris re-1831 was in the interest of those corps of men and was conceived at Col Harris' home before the life-nature convened, and was disentitled to illumination, attorney for the Mourn Pacific railroad company of western Mn. "Col Harris now says that the railroad line did not put in this manner in life is consistent in this because it never has been a paranormal issue with him. He makes a two-cent car fee the license to attract the unpleasant yet an state senator he would not consent to any bill giving relief from excessive light rates, and I now contends that his action was justified. "The Kau is farmer who has corn, wheat and live stock to put on the market, should have a 25 per cent reduction in freight rate to the Missouri river, and this should be urged in our campaign. This reduction would save every farmer owning 100 acres of land at least $200 per year. If he rode a 400 mile trip to Kansas City, a two-cent fare would save him $4, and it would take 50 such trips to make the saving equal to the reduction in his freight rates." KEYNOTE MISSING. Democratic Candidate Refrains From Indicating His Position. Newspaper representatives have been trying for some time past to induce Harris, of Chicago, to make a plain, open statement of his position on the enforcement of the prohibitory law for publication. Col. Harris will not make the statement requested. Instead he says he made his position plain in his Fort Scott speech. It will perhaps be remembered that Col. Harris failed to furnish the press with copies of his Fort Scott speech and that the democratic committee has failed to have copies of the speech circulated. Who knows just what Col. Harris said about the prohibitory law at Fort Scott? Why should he be averse to restating his position? It is because he knows that he can not make a statement on the prohibitory question that will please his prohibition supporters in some regions and also please his "liberal" backers in other localities. COUNSEL TREASON. David Overmyer Wants Republicans to Commit the Error. Republicans should not fall to remember what David Overmyer has stated as his opinion of the party man who votes other than his party ticket. In his Kansas City speech Overmyer said: "The democrat who falls to vote the democratic ticket is not a democrat but a traitor to his party." Still Overmyer hates his only hope of election as attorney general on the deluded idea that he can induce a great number of republicans to become traitors to their party. What Governor Hoch Has Done for the People of Kansas. Kansas has every reason to be proud of the administration of Governor Hoch and the Republican party in the past two years, and Governor Hoch and the Republican party have every reason to expect that that pledge will be expressed by the vote at the polls in November. Governor Hoch's administration has been free from scandal. The administration of every trust has been marked with fidelity and honesty. There are two or three little things that bear frequent mention in this connection and are of interest to the taxpayers. The last distribution of the semiannual school fund to the school district of the state amounted to 46 cents per capita, or two cents more than it has been at any previous distribution in ten years. The present commission has not bought a single issue of bonds for the permanent school fund on which payment is defaulted. And this has been true too with the fund flush with money. But the commissioners have kept it invested in reliable securities. The administration of the state government has been so economical that the state board of equalization found it possible to this year reduce the tax levy for state purposes to 42 mills, or just 1 mill less than the levy made last year. These things were made possible by the conservative wisdom of the legislature at its last mission state affairs. The new state prater and the economical administration of law made possible a saving of $25,000 annually. The Board of Control made possible a saving double that amount to the new state's law at night the state in criminal income from interest on public funds of something like $1,000 a month. The law prater for the tax levy of pipelines and private car lines of service, as it increased the taxable property of the state by several million dollars. And these are only a few of the things that have been accomplished by the Hoch administration. The new railroad law, the maximum freight rate law and antidiscrimination laws for the oil producers and a dozen other pieces of good legislation would necessarily be mentioned in the list of reasons for the re-election of Governor Hoch. It is because of these plain facts well known to most of the voters that the Democrats are having so little success in their efforts to make people believe that Kansas is walking in the shadow of a political revolution and the voters about to elect a citizen of Illinois as governor. TWO TO ONE. The Democrats who pro- bate this trial Hands of the Co- has a show to be elected gov- ners are showing no signs of will- ings more to no fright than in Two weeks ago $100 was at a Top of the State to be recelection of Gove not Po' at alls of two to one. No Democrat has offered THIRD WEST PUNSON to cover all or any part of the amount. A few days ago a well known Republic in was on a train not pulling into Parsons. A Democrat was fondly predicting the triumph of Harris and the Democratic state ticket "Have you any money to risk on that proposition?" the Republican asked "Yes, I have $1,000," the Democrat answered. "Put it up," suggested the Republican as he pulled out a roll of bills and prepared to post a forfeit. The Democrat said he could not bet quite as much as $1,000 "Well, then, let us bet $500" the Republic said "What you won't do that? Well, then, I bet you $500 to $250 that it will." The Democrat did not bet "These two cases are simply straws showing within the political wind is blowing in Kansas this year. Hoch's Policy Vinjicated. The resignation of W W Rose as mayor of Kansas City, Ks., marks the end of a long drawn out fight for decency and law enforcement at the Kansas metropolis, and, incidentally, it indicates Governor Hoch and Attorney General Coleman of the charge that they were simply persecuting Rose without warrant of law. The final victory over Rose and his almost unconditional surrender show that the administration at the state house has been on the law side of the controversy all the time. Rose will retire as mayor and a special election will be held to supply his successor. And in the meantime C. W. Trickett, the assistant attorney general of Wyandotte county, is going right along cleaning out the joints and gambling houses. Better Than Two Years Age. The reports coming to Republican headquarters at Topeka from every part of the state show a condition much more satisfactory to Republicans than existed two years ago. There is no longer any question as to the triumphant election of Hoch and the entire state ticket. It is only a question of the size of the majority.

Eyster, candidate for Justice of Supreme Court, short term, on the People's Party ticket. Mr. Kyster is not a Populist "for revenue only," but is conscientious in his belief. In his nomination the Populists have bestowed an honor where it belongs. He is one of the grandest old men that has ever entered the borders of Kansas. He knows no man by creed, color or past condition of servitude, but by principle and manly qualities. That Mr. Eyster is eminently qualified for this position is beyond question, and in cases where the rights of any people are concerned he would deal squarely and according to law and Constitution, not color. We know of no man whom we would better like to see upon the Supreme Bench than Mr. Eyster; we have been closely connected with him in business matters practically and in all that he has done in the state polite, for a honourable gentleman we first met so many years ago Although Mr. Ester's connection with the newspaper business has been largely from the editorial side, he is a printer of ye olden times, and oil and lond during the past half dozen years he has held office on The Prairie, and we are glad to say that for integrity, honesty and uprightness he stands the equal of any man in the state. He is an able writer, and has been connected with some of the best reform papers in this and other states, among them being The State Record, of which he was editor and proprietor. Mr. Eyster graduated from Penn sylvania College with the degree of A. B., receiving the degree of A. M. two years later for literary work done in the memoirs. He served or notably in the army and was for five years a professor in the Gettysburg Female Institute. He was No. 9, Dept. of Penna., becoming a P. P. C. in 1868. Subsequently he united as a charter member with Post 271, Manhattan, Kans., with which he still retains membership, having been P. Adjt. and Chaplain. He read law in the office of the then district attorney of Adams County, Penna., and was admitted to the bar after a rigid and thoroughly satisfactory examination. In 1869 he homesteaded in the southern part of Washington county, Kans., living there and at Barnes a large part of the time until 1894, when he moved to Manhattan, coming from there to Topeka in 1898. He has had a large experience in educational matters, and upon examinations in this state, received three first grade certificates. He was admitted to practice in the courts of Washington county in 1872, and those of Rileys in 1894. Since coming to Topeka he has been engaged principally in newspaper and literary work. He was one of the proprietors of the North Topeka Daily Newsletter; was with Col. Tomlinson for over a year on the Daily Democrat, carrying on the paper during the sickness of the colonel resulting in his death. The State Record was always an able and fearless exponent of unilateral People's Party principles. North Lawrence, B. F. Bates. Argantine, J. W. Williams. Lawrence, G. A. Griffith. Topka, J. E.

P. of the state and its jurisdiction, and Mrs. Essex Allen, who was appointed Hon. G Lady Faith. The rooms were beautifully decorated with autumn flowers and the Chapter colors. In the dining room the table had a centerpiece of Battenburgon which rested a huge vase of flowers; suspended from the ceiling were streamers of the Chapter colors extending to the four corners of the table where were ret candles with red shades. The Chapter color scheme was also carried out in the ice cream and bon bons. Mrs. James H Green and Mrs. James Beck presided at the table, and Misses Lulu Bell and Edna Lee at the punch bowl. Assisting the hostesses were Mrs. David Osborne, Mesdames Abraham Quarrels and Miss Elizabeth Bell. The Rev. and Mrs. J. G. Caldwell left Tuesday to attend conference at Columbus. They will be absent possibly a couple of weeks, visiting Independence, a former charge, and the Kansas City conference. The Clay Philanthropic Reading club met with Mrs. Amos Johnson. After the general routine of business the club proceeded with the study of the lesson.

Mrs Essex Allen was elected treasurer and Mrs. Mason critic, after which light refreshments were served and the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Mason October 12th. The Douglass Lyceum opened for the season on the evening of Emancipation day. Quite an interesting program was rendered, patriotic songs were sung by the choirs of the several churches in unison. Mrs. Frankie Robinson was up from Kansas City to attend the funeral of Mr. William Hassie. The Charity club met October 5th with Mrs. Laura Welton and elected officers. The funeral of Mr. William.

FROM CORPORATIVE COUNSEL Horace A. Hewlett of Leesworth county, the populist nominee for election, is determined that no popu- list or former populist shall vote for Col. Harris of Chicago this fall without knowing the political record of the Illinois man the Democrats have nominated for Governor of Kansas. Mr. Hewlett is a former political associate of Harris and has an intimate knowledge of the political methods and plans of the Harris Farrelly-wagg- ener crowd of Democrats. When Col. Harris lived in Kansas his residence was in Leavenworth county, Keefor tow was a resident of Leavenworth county and as a leading populist he was thrown much with Harris in the old fusion days when the Pops thought they could depend on the Democrats. While in Topeka attending the meeting of the Populist state central committee Keefar spoke his mind freely concerning Harris and some of the things he said, and will repeat in each speech he makes this fall, are costing the Chicago man hundreds of supporters. Keefer's story of his first suspicion of Harris is interesting. "In 1896 Harris wanted to be the fusion nominee for Governor," he says "Harris has asked me to become a candidate for state senator from Leavenworth county. Harris was defended as a candidate for Governor and came home from the Abilene convention and in order to help him in his scheme to be elected United States senator I withdrew as a candidate for state senator in his favor. Through the influence of myself and some of my Populist friends he was elected state senator and I was made a member of the House. "After the election Harris asked me to come down to his house and participate in a conference regarding proposed railroad legislation I asked who would be there and he said 'Judge Robinson and a few of the boys.' "Do you mean Judge Elihu Robinson, of Kansas City?' I asked. "Yes," he said. "Why,' I replied, 'He is a Missouri Pacific attorney. "T know that,' said Harris, 'but he is a good fellow and he is my brother-in-law. He will give us some good polaters about legislation next winter. You batter come down.' "From that time on I became suspicious of Colonel Harris. I could not understand how he expected to profit or do the people good from 'pointers' which he would receive from a Missouri Pacific attorney. I watched the colonel from that time and found that he was working entirely too much with Judge Robinson, Balle Waggoner, Hugh Farrelly and W. H. Ryan. Ryan, Harris and Farrelly were in the senate that winter, and they worked together to fool the people. They succeeded fairly well in the railroad measure they put through, but they could not fool Governor Leedy. They came so near succeeding that time that they think they can fool the people this year. They are mistaken We will call attention to the fact that Colonel Harris insisted upon being surrounded this year with Ryan and Farrelly. He had worked with these men in some of his former deals and knew that he could get along with them. Consistency is a jewel. Populists who contemplate voting the reubilized pop state ticket this fall should remember that George Hanna, the chairman of the so-called populist organization, was a member of the Kansas state senate during the Leedy administration and fought every bill introduced to redeem the pledges of the populist platform—Independence Times. And yet Senator Hanna voted the same way as did Senator Harris on all important pop measures, including the railroad bill that session Why doesn't the Times denounce Harris, too, instead of supporting him?—Kansas City Journal. Senator Long will describe all of his time from now until the election to the campaign. He has arranged his private business so that he will be free until November. With W. J. Fitzgerald, republican candidate for lieutenant governor, and C. E. Denton, republican candidate for secretary of state Senator Long will make an automobile trip through the five southwestern counties, which have no railroads, next month. The party will start September 17, and will make speeches and campaign through the counties until September 24. --- "David Overmyer, Lightning change artist and red fire expert of the democratic party, is the only living man who can quote from some speech made by himself to prove that he was all one time right on every question." says Gov. Riddle. "This is true, because David has spoken on all sides of all questions that have ever been before the people." Lengworth's Great-Grandfather, Congressman Nicholas Longworth's great-grandfather was a native of Newark, N. J., but in the early part of the last century went to Cincinnati and laid the foundation of the Ohio branch of the family and incidentally made a fortune in real estate. When a man talks through his hat a woman may be pardoned for laughing in her absence. HE DISLIKESBRYAN HE DISLIKESBRYAN W. A. HARRIS CONCEALS HIS HATRED AND NOW DODGES. Desires To Prevent Bryan From Speaking in Kanese. THE DEMOCRATIC PROTESTS ONE OF THE LEADERS GIVES TRUE EXPLANATION. Of Real Attitude of the Chicago Candidate for Governor. "W. J. Bryan will not make speeches in hansas this fall if W. A. Harris can help it," remarked one of the best known Democrats in the state at the conclusion of the Democratic state committee meeting in Topeka last week. "I know Harris has denied the truth of the published statement that he wants no outsiders to come to Kansas this year but his denial is not founded on truth. I was in the meeting and heard the matter discussed so I know what I am talking about. "Harris hates Bryan and makas no secret of his hatred when he thinks himself among friends. Harris knows that Kansas people would like to hear Bryan this fall and that the Nebraska would do the party much good in the state. I do not mean by this that Bryan would make votes for Harris. I think the contrary is true. But Bryan is going to be the Democratic candidate for president in two years and by two or three speeches in Kansas this fall he could stir the voters up so we would have no trouble in carrying the state in 1908 "Harris does not want Bryan elected besides he does not want to stir the Republicans up on national issues this year. The presence of Bryan would draw the lines in the present campaign on a partisan basis. That is the thing Harris does not want and in order to accomplish his own purposes he is willing to injure Bryan's chances in two years. Fearing to openly acknowledge his hatred for Bryan, Harris does a meaner thing and stabs the Nebraskan in the back under the cloak of friendship. It is the old story of Harris—he is for Harris all the time and never for anyone else. I am first a friend of Bryan and do not like to see him get the worst of it from men who should be his friends. While I am supporting Harris you can say that most of the enthusiasm has been taken out of me by Harris' attitude toward Bryan and that there are hundreds more who feel just as I do about it" JACKSON, ALL RIGHT. Next Attorney General Is Honest And Capable. F. S. Jackson, republican candidate for attorney general probably is one of the best qualified men for the place he seeks of the candidates on any ticket. He is the present assistant attorney general and has had a great deal to do with the work of his department in making trouble for the tenants and big corporations. He has devoted his time to a study of the inquiries of the trust problem and probably is as well informed on the subject as any lawyer in the state and in much better condition to handle such problems than any candidate against him. Mr. Jackson is one of the brightest of the young atrotnes in the state. He has practiced law for a number of years in Greenwood county and was county attorney there for a term. He made one of the best prosecuting officers the county ever had and it was largely on account of the good record he made in that office that he was selected to fill the place of assistant attorney general when Jay F. Close died. He has declared himself in favor of those reforms which the Republican party has been advocating for years and he will be one of the strong men of the next state administration. He has repeatedly said that he will do what he can to bring about reforms wanted by the people while his opponent David Overmeyer, goes up and down the state discussing any issue to keep away from state reforms. NO SIMILARITY. Comparison of W. A. Harris With Governor, Folk Is Amusing Governor Folk is Amusing. The Kansas City Star (Dem) tries to compare Colonel W. A. Harris with Governor Folk of Missouri and to make its readers believe that conditions in Kansas are as bad as they were in Missouri when Folk was elected. The attempt to make the people of Kansas believe that Harris is of the same brand as the governor of Missouri is laughable. How many people recall a single action of Harris, during the six years he was United States senator from this state that is worth remembering. Even his maach admirer, the Star, can find only one qualification which ought to command him to the people—that of his honesty. The time has come when honesty is not the only qualification needed by a man who would manage the affairs of a state. It would be a very difficult matter for the Star to convince Kansas people that Harris is any more honest than Governor Nech and as for being as well qualified in other ways, the argument is all on the Nech side of the question. Colonel Harris served the state six years and left no record on his deeds behind him. ballot by the following title: "The probate-judge amendment to the constitut and all be voted for or against as provided by law under such title.
