&C. 5. Hutton, a representative of
the Topeka State Journal, was doing
business in the city last week. Speak
ing of the political situation IN the
state, Mr.. Hutton said If the election
should be beld at this time, the state
would go populist by an overwhelming
majority. He says the Journals course
in condemning the present administra-
