In the Senate, the House bill modifying and
partly repeating the section of the Revised
Statutes requiring proof of subsequent loyalty
before pensions are granted to veterans of the
Mexican war as prerequisite in any applica-
tiOn for bounty land gave rise to discussion
and some opposition. In favOring the bill Mr..
George declared that there were very few Of
these claimants surviving, and that the debt
was just One and that payment was with
held simply because these men were afterward
C0nfederates.
Dir. Platt opposed the bill and said there
were thousands of these old claims II too

ust-ThreS Men Scattering "LitsrAture."
Chairman Breidenthal of the Populist
state central committee, said this morn
ing that he does not expect to open for
NAL headquarters until the first of Aug

This does not mean, however, that he
will not begin the campaign until that
time, for the POpulist campaign has not
ceased since the election of two years
ago.
Chairman BreidenthaI has had three
men constantly engaged since the first
of January mailing and distributing
campaign literature and these men will
look after the work of billing speakers
and arranging county meetings and
picnics until the state headquarters are
formally opened.
The news had just come to Mr.. Breid-
enthal that Mrs. Clara B. Colby of Wash
ingtOn, d. c.. editor of the Woman's Tri-
buEe, has come out for Populism. She
has volunteered to devote a mouth to
the campaign in Kansas.

black lace in fashionable favor.
Among summer tints for evening pale
rose color and honeysuckle yellow vie
with each other and often appear to-

Beautiful white toilets for dress occa-
sions and chic white costumes of serge,

special favor the summer season
through.
Small fruits appear among the hat

These trimmings are much liked and
very often worn by the daughters of

Black, in combination with pure
white or softer, less trying cream tints,

z. M. Cockrell,
TO Be BACKED UP BY AFFIDAVITS

That He Used Improper Methods to

ttcians Make Light OF Cheaney's
Charges.
Local politicians. are considerably ex-
cited over the report that Justice A. T.
Chesney has decided to use his influence
to defeat the Republican nominee for
clerk of the district court, E. d.
COckrelI.
1t was limited before the vote was can
vassed that Chesney, who was a candi-
date for the nomination, would contest
the RICH of Cockrell to the nomination
on the ground that he had made use of
money to buy votes, but nothing was
done, and Cockrell was declared the
nominee by the county central commit
tee.
Justice Ches1fey was asked today by a
JOURNAL reporter whether he intended
to contest the nomination and said: mo.
1t IS to late now to contest the nomina-
ton. l will issue an address in few
days reciting how the nomination was
secured if l can get the afidavits that
have been promised me and which l
have good reason to believe will be
made.
II am told that free beer was kept
during the time the primaries were held
on Saturday ct place near VOLTS
packing mouse ana the fellows there
were whooping it up for CockreH all
day. am also told that free beer was
kept on tap all day at the old Logan
house in the interest of CockrelL
lis it true reported that you will at
tempt to prove that Cockreu spent $4,000
to secure the nomination."
81 will not say what will attempt to
prove. In my addresses l will cover
every point upon which can secure
affidavits."
The county officers laugh at Chesney's
position. They say that he is the last
man who should make charges against
any of the candidates, and if there is any
one of the many candidates that did not
spend money that one is CockrelI.

HOWARD NOT ANXIOUS
To Contest the North District With
A. c. Sherman.
SOME GOSSIP ABOUT The PROSPECTS
who the POpuIfst Candidates May
Re-Other Political News-

There will be an interesting contest for
the election of the member of the legis-
lature from the Thirty fifth representa-
tive district this fall.
This is the district north of the river
including the First ward, which was rep
resented in the last legislature by a Z.
Sherman, who seat was contested by ID.
NJ Howard, who was declared seated by
the Populist house although Mr.. Sher-
man received majority of 444 votes. 81
At last Saturdays primaries Mr.. Sher-
man was renominated by a majority of
over 500 votes, receiving a majority OF
the votes cast in every precinct IN the
district
Who the Populists will nominate is not
vet decided, but it is known that they
expect to make a fight.
Mr.. Sherman says if Howard is renom-
mated he will not be satisfied unless ne
(Sherman) receives a majority OF $50,
Just double the vote of two years ago.
Mr.. Howard has said he was anxious
to meet Mr.. Sherman again before the
voters of the district, but to STATE
JOURNAL reporter who asked him about
the matter he said he would prefer not
being the candidate this year. He said:
There is only one condition under which
/ would accept the nomination, and | do
not propose to name that condition for
fear my friends would bring it about.
There are other men in the district who
can make just as good fight as l. and 1
am willing that they shall have the OPP
portunity."
There was some talk of fusion can
didate for representative in this district,
and for some time the leading PopuIists
of the district agreed that they would
be willing TO endorse Mr.. William Green,
of Green & Kale, if he should be nomi-
mated by the Democrats, but since the
commonweal movement has been
much talked about, Mr.. Green has given
some utterances the Populists say they
can't stand, and all prospect Of his en-
dorsement from that source has now van
ished.
Among the middle of the road Popu-
lists who are talked of in connection
with the nomination are ID. III. Howard,
John Schenck North Topeka lawyer.
Z. 7. James and VIM. Bond of Ro5sville
and Andy Coleman who lives just north
of the city.

meet next week to fix the date of the

sentative.
The Republican railroad men say that
d. l. Furbeck who was nominated by
the Populists for lieutenant governor is
not a representative railroad man as has
been claimed for him.
F. w. Wright, chairman of the griev-
ance committee of the Order of Railway
Conductors who lives. at Wichita in an
interview said:
"The Populists claim that Furbeck is
representative railroad man is ranking
in our breasts. Furbeck is not repre-
sentative railroad man. He has not been
identified with their interests for years.
His nomination was not at the solicita-
ton or by the consent of either the Order
of Railway Employees or the Order of
Railway Conductors. We regard any
attempt of the Populists to represent
him as such a wilful misr epresenta-
ton"
