Is the ResubmissfOn Organiza-
tiOn For MORRILL,
Indications That 1t Is Growing
That Way.
MOONEY is A WORKER
In the o. M. B. Ranks and a
Leader.
Pushing Morrill, as the Resub-
mission Candidate.

A strong effort is being made to
carry the o. M. B. for Governor Morrill,
and there are some indications of sue
cess.
For months Police Commissioner
Charles K. Holiday has been Organiz-
ing o. NJ. B. lodges in Topeka. There
is a drinking annex to all these lodges.
The fact that these club rooms are not
molested is pointed out as an in
stance to show that Governor Morrill,
is not in favor of the enforcement of
the prohibitory law.
Simon Greenspan, who has assisted in
the organization of nearly all the lodges
of the o. NJ. B. in Topeka, said today
that there are 5000 members in Shaw
nee county. I'VE have II or Is lodges
in Topeka" said he, "and the town is
thoroughly organized. There is one
lodge with over 500 members"
This rather large story of Simon's is
weakened by the fact that this power
full o. NJ. B. organization permitted
three radical prOhibitiOnistS to be nom
mated for the legislature from this
''Wili the o. M. B. support Governor
Morrill?'' asked the reporter.
Il do not know" replied Mr.. Green
span. THAT matter has not been set
tied. There will be state meeting in
Wichita in September, when it win be
settled
Are the members of the o. NJ. B. in
Topeka favorable to the nomination of
Governor Morrill, -
Il do not know how they stand"
"Wiu you vote for Governor MorriI -
4 have not yet decided"
Police Commissioner Holiday is out
of the city and could not be seen.
Another prominent member of the or
der said to a Journal reporter: I know
that everything possible is being done
to carry the 0. M. 3. for Governor Nor
riH The report comes from Wichita
that things have been fized there to
deliver the members to Morrill, We
cannot tell how this will result until
the state meeting, which viii be held
there in September.
'Al Mooney is a member of our larg-
est lodge, and he has been working in
the organization with all his might to
pledge the members to Governor Nor
rill, AS far as I am concerned, I am
satisfied that the fxers viii not be able
to control the members"
Al Mooney is a well known Republi-
can worker. He has done work in
ward politics in Topeka for years.
A well known Democrat, who is not
a member of the O. NJ. B., said to a
Journal reporter who asked him
whether he knew anything about the
plan to deliver the organizations sup
port to Morrill,:
Commissioner Holiday has been work
ing with all his might and main to get
everybody into the 0. NJ. 3. and he is
one of Governor MOrrilPs appOintees-
That is enough for me-. They show
their members that Governor Morrill, is
against the enforcement of the law by
pointing to the drinking places which
they conduct"
Frank Durein, who is an old line
Democrat, says that he intends to vote
for Governor Morrill, this year. He is,
however, not a member of the O. NJ. 3.

SUES MRS. GREENSPAN.
Large Damage Suit Brought Against
the Wealthiest Woman in Topeka.

Suit for IS, $50 damages has been be-
gun against Mrs. Sarah A. Sells
Greenspan in the district court by Mrs
Rebecca A. Samuels.
Mrs Samuels says that in March
she leased for a period of one year Mrs.
Sells -Greenspan's house at 514 and SIG
West Tenth street and agreed to pay
her $40 per month for it.
In less than three months Mrs. Green
span became dissatisfied with her ten
ant, and although Mrs. Samuels says
she paid her rent promptly and in every
other way kept up her contract, Mrs
Greenspan, through her agent, Simon
Greenspan, her husband, began a sys-
tematic- method of getting her out by
making it as unpleasant as possible for
her.
They began, she says, by serving her
with notices to get out of the house for
non-payment of rent, though Mrs. sam
uels says she had always paid her rent
promptly, and they had no right to do
this. Twice they began suit against
her in Justice Furry's court, but each
time dismissed it after giving her con-
siderable trouble.
The last notice was served on Mrs.
Samuels a few days ago and she i'm
mediately began the damage suit
One hundred and fifty dollars is for
costs in the suits brought in the justice
court against her and $4,000 is for dam
ages.

WILL WORK FROM CHICAGO.
National Democratic Headquarters
Will be Located There.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, arrived in Washington to-
quarters of the Democratic congress
ional campaign committee and was
busy all forenoon with correspondence
and kilograms, = besides seeing the
more prominent Democratic arrivals in
the city. He was not ready to an
nounce the executive committee, or
state what decision had been reached
regarding national headquarters.
It is known, however, that the deter
mination has been reached to locate
headquarters at Chicago. There will
be maintained in Washington a branch
headquarters in connection with the
congressional campaign committee,
which will attend to sending out all
the necessary literature and will work
also in connection with such other
campaign committees as may be es-
tablished here and are interested in the
success of Mr.. Bryan. The pressure
from the west to have the headquarters
in Chicago has been more than the
committee and the campaign managers
could Withstand.
1t has been pointed out that the Re
publican headquarters are practically
in Chicago and that the hard fighting
during the campaign will be in the
west.
It is predicted Senator Jones will an
nounce the decision of the committee
in regard to the headquarters and the
appointment of the executive commit
tee later in the day.

A QUARREL AT ATCHISON.

Atchison, Aug. 15.-The Republican
county central committee met Thurs
day to fix the date, place and apportion-

mate district judge, county attorney
clerk of the court and probate judge
There were two surprises at this
meeting, one the selection of Effing-
ham as the place of holding the con-
vention, and the other the leaving out
of the call the nomination of represen-
tative from the city district. This
motion was made by James NJ. CHS
ham, who is generally conceded to be
ingalls, manager in this county, and
some are inclined to regard it as a stab
at John Seaton and a boom for Ellis

Iature who attended the meeting, was

TO JAIL MRS. LEASE.
The New York "Press" Hints at Suck
Punishment.

New York, Aug. 15.-The Press pub
fishes the following suggestive editor
ial today:
IF a German woman jabbers an
archy in a New York square, prestol
the police, the TOmbs prison, the Isle
Of Blackwell for six months are her re-
ward. If a Kansas woman splutters
anarchy in a New York hall sardonic
cheers, laughter, a pun on her middle
name and a reference to the meniaI
domestic occupation of her husband
are her only punishment. Is this logi-
cal? Is it fair?
In a model state the officials could
certainly find no sound reason for Jail
ing Miss Goldman and letting Mrs.
Lease run free
The Press speaks of Mrs. Leases re-
marks as "incendiarisms'' and adds:
TT is expediency rather than justice
which leads society to deprive Emma
Goldman of the right of speech in the
denunciation of law and to allow Mary
Lease to retain it. It may not be fair
It is not logical; but it is the way of
human government -
