TELLER THE IDEAL MAN,
So Says Senator Dubois and He Can

Garry the South
St. Louis, June Ex-senator Dubois
and Senator Teller had a long confer
ence at the st. Nicholas hotel today.
but neither would state after the con
ference what its purpose was. This
was the only new development in the
silver situation.
In discussing the general situation,
however, Dubois spoke with frankness.
Said Senator Dubois s'The Democrats
now have an opportunity to redeem the
pledges which they have been making
to the people for so many years. We
offer them Senator Teller in the utmost
good faith. The fight for currency re
form cannot be won this year with any
body else. The situation is simple.
With the strong anti-free trade feeling
in the middle and far western and
northwestern states we couldn't hope
to give to the Democratic ticket headed
by an old time Democrat more than
sixteen votes in the electoral college.
These would come from the states that
withdrew from the St. Louis cOnven-
ton.
But with Senator Teller at the head
of the ticket bearing the Democratic
standard and with the organization Of
that party at his back, we are sure to
deliver to the party 81 votes west Of
the Missouri rive. We who have quit
the Republican party are intensely IN
earnest We are willing to make any
reasonable concessions to the Demo
Gratis and as I said before, if they can
give US a man who can win this fight.
we viii be with them. But they have
not yet brought that man forward, and
they can't do it simply because they
have not got him. This is plain Eng
! lish but it is solemn truth.
The south will support Teller and
there we have 125 votes that need no at
tention. He saved the south from the
/ horrors of the force bill, and that one
! act endears him to the southern peo-
pie He is the ideal western man-rug-
ged, honest. wise, broad and direct.
/ With him as leader, a combination Of
the south and west could be brought
about that would be the controlling in
/ huence in the national affairs for half
/ a century. The interests of the two sec
tions are identical and the people in
/ them are ready for unificatiOn. 1t would
sweep into the Democratic party new
/ blood and new energy, and guarantee
| the control by that party of all the
/ states in the west that have made Re
publican supremacy possible They can
! not be driven in any other way.

A QUIET PRIMARY.
None But Troutman Delegates are
Being Elected


The Republican primary this after
non is the quietest ever held in Topeka
and at some Of the polling places there
will not be a great many more than q
dozen votes cast. This inactivity re-
suits from the fact that there IS no
contest

in any of the wards and a single ticket
is being voted In many Of the voting
places there was great difficulty 10
organize the board because there were
not enough people present 10 serve as
judges and clerks.
In the fifth ward there was slight in
dications of trouble when it was found
that the delegation was printed On the
ticket as instructed for Troutman when
an uninstructed delegation had been
minated. When it was explained that
the mistake was made by the printer
and new tickets We're furnished there
was no further objection
There viii probably not be more than
300 votes cast in the city

Up to Date Farmers.

Every great manufacturing plant has
now its chemist. Every mining COM
pany has its expert who is expected to
know whether it will pay to work this
or that lead and what the cost will be.
Every railroad company has its mechan-
ical engineers, its corps of inventors and
superintendent of construction.
Only the farmers of this and other
countries have supposed they could
slump along haphazard, anyhow and
every how, and work just as their an
cestors did 100 years ago.
The consequence is that the agricul-
turists of this country and Of Europe
have been left. They are down in the
mouth; they are abandoning their
farms. The reason is not far to find.
They have not improved on the old slow
and laborious methods and peasant lg-
norance of a century ago.
If agriculturists will wake up from
their Rip Van Wrinkle sleep they will
find mechanical and chemical invention
will do as much for them as for any
body else. The government has taken
their case in hand. The bulletins peri
odically issued from the United States
department of agriculture many of
them contain knowledge priceless to the
farmer, knowledge that is distributed
free. The agricultural colleges now give
him really practical information how to
improve his condition. Let him avail
himself of such sources of improvement
Let him know that in these days it is
no more necessary for the manufactur-
er of breadstuffs, meat and dairy prod
ucts to be drudge and serf than it is
for the manufacturer of soap or silks or
railroad cars.
