1t is the general opinion Of the suf-
frage leaders among the women that
Miss Anthony went too far at the Popu-
list state convention in pledging her in
fuence TO the Populists. but even then
she promised no more than to make her
appeals for suffrage from Populist plat
forms and she will redeem her promise
even though she will devote only a week
to the campaign.
1t is said that Chairman Breidenthal
attempted to secure Miss Anthony's ser
vices early in the campaign and he and
the other leading POpulists were disap-
pointed in not being able to secure her.
The appointments have not yet been
made.

IA
Burlingame's.
friend Of A. L. Williams tells the
following good story about him, which

years and determined to visit his old
if he could avoid it, and as he did not
"stand inn with the railroads, he Dor
rowed the annual pass belonging to
Ward Burlingame, who was then well
known Topeka newspaper man.
It was Hannibal & St Joe pass and
Mr. Williams took the train at St Joe
and handed the pass to the conductor. 1t
happened that the conductor was Quin-
cy man who knew Williams, but was not
recognized by him He took the pass,
recorded its number and handed it back.
After the conductor had finished his
rounds he returned to Williams and said
s'Mr. Burlingame you are from Topeka.
l used to know Quincy boy who is now
in Topeka, Archie Williams son Of Judge
Williams. He used to be rather Wild in
Quincy but 1 understand he is now re-
puted to be one OF the brightest lawyers
in Kansas and will probably be the next

him?"
This was too much for Williams van
ity and he replied quick as a fash: 81 am
the man."
ION, very WELL" replied the conductor,
styour fare is 1910, Mr.. Williams

Ony but IL Didn't Get Through
Chief Justice Albert H. Horton Of the
Kansas supreme court says he does not
believe in the present system by which
railroad passes are placed in the hands
Of judges and other public officials.
Before Judge Horton was elected to
the supreme bench he was at one time a
member Of the state legislature from
Atchison county
W lille Judge Horton was member of
the legislature he framed and introduced
a bill forbidding the use of passes by
public officials Judge l. tons anti

state officers to accept free transporta-

1t was a long time ago that this bill
was before the legislature, and public
sentiment had not been so thoroug hly
aroused on the pass system iniquity as
at the present. which accounts for the
bill not becoming a law.
An anti-pass bill will no doubt receive
