candidates for the legislature ana coun-
ty officers viii be held tomorrow In
the city the polls viii be opened at 1 p
IN and viii be closed at z % M They
win open an hour later in the country
The candidates are all working hard to-
day. eor it is their last chance. The
fact that the Australian ballot and
Crawford system viii be used. pre-
cludes much of the work of the ward
heller AS usual there is a great deal
of talk about Democrats voting. and
an unusual vigilance viii be observed
at the polls to keep Democrats from
voting.
The legislative fight is the most in
teresting- j. Ralph Burton is still here
and another candidate has come out
for ingalls,. 1T seems that Mr. Burton
presence is having the effect of driving
all the legislative candidates into the
Ingalls, camp OF the nine candidates in
the three districts, but one is left who
has not publicly declared himself for
ingalls,. and that is Col Neale-
AS Colonel Neale thus leaves the pe0-
pie Of this city in doubt as to his posi-
tion, he should be defeated This COM
munity lis strongly opposed to Mr- Bur
ton for United States senator and
Colonel Veale's refusal to come out
squarely should beat him IOpekans
know they do not want Burton and
they should not take any chances by
voting for a man ON the fence" as
to the position of being for or against
very unpopular man in this locality,
SO far as United States senator Is con-
cerned. Id NIcKeeEer. that brilliant
young Topekan has all along been pro-
nOunced against Burton and CllI
Baker has now been compelled to state
where he stands on this question
Some of Col. Neale's friends are con-
cediuE the nomination of Ackeever
fin the city district today, and men who
ought to know say that there is no long
er any doubt of his nomination.
Senator @EaTne returned
from Sedalia. where he has been Wis
iting his father-in law. who is sick, and
he is comforting with his friends today
The opposition to senator Sterne is not
considered dangerous, and his friends
have at no time felt the least alarm.
He Will be renoninated because he has
weu represented the people Of Shawnee
county.
Senator Sterne was one of the
strongest opponents of Mr.. Burton and
he has stood on that ground ever since
I'm the south district Col Hughes is
Well in the lead and viii undoubtedly
be nominated The stories circulated
that Hughes was for Burton We're with
out foundation, as Hughes has been
strongly opposed to him A plain card
from Col Hughes in today's paper sets
the ridiculous story completely aside
The colonel is natural diplomat and
win make q strong puller for his com
stituents if his friends do their duty
lin the north district the fight is three
cOrnered with the three candidates all
pledged to vote for ingalls,. Mr.. Hol-
man is working hard and he has many
friends who want to see him in the leg
islature. His friends say that his only
competitor is Mr.. James though there
are few who insist that Brooks viii
win
Tt is not thought that the A. r. A. is
entering into the contest though the
report has been ndustriously circu-
lated that some Of the candidates were
members While among the A. p a.
themselves there are also reports that
some of the candidates are Catholics.
No candidates have been endorsed by
the a. p. a. SO far as known
Ihe county attorney contest is be-
tween Iiuotson and Jetm0re. Mr. Til
lotson is doing good work The fact
that he was defeated for the nomina-
tion once by a scratch is having the
effect Of helping him and he has a large
following. JetmOre is also wen to the
front
There is little doubt Of the nomina.
ticn Of Judge Hazen for district Judge
his hard work on the bench has
shown that he is not merely
an ornament to the flldfciar-1r
but the contest for probate judge viii
be close one though Judge Woods
long term as an Office holder will mill
tate against him.
