ADVISES THE PRESIDENT.
Ex-Miniater Hannis Taylor Afraid
That Mckinley Will Make

on Cuba. would be delivered. was found to
be inadequate to hold them. and the meet
ing place had to be changed to Library hall,
where about 1000 people We're accommo-
dated. The audience was strictly in SYM
pathy with the speaker in every statement
regarding Cuba. Mr.. Taylor said. in part:
Events are moving fast, and no man, not
even the president, can stop them. No real
statesman ever tried to avoid Il crisis by
turning his back upon it or by self-decep-
ton. If the president makes the fatal mis-
take of attempting longer to muzze con-
gress by putting his imprimatur upon false
hopes and empty illusions. before the ink is
dry on his message events will diScredit all
his predictions.
Let congress but speak the final and
emphatic word-recognition-and in ninety
days the long and bloody tragedy will be
over: the whole Christian world will re-
joice and say amen; Spain will be rescued
from an impossible situation: there will he
no war with the United States; Cuba will
be free"

be disappointed In fact. revision of the
financial system of the government along
conservative lines is to he made a distinct
policy of the administration.
Although it is true that short time ago
President Mckinley was rather dubious
about the ACCESSIBILITY of making an earn
est effort this winter from the administra-
tion initiative. TO carry through the revision
measure. he is now pretty well convinced
that 1t is his duty to throw all his infiu-
ence in favor of currency reform. He will
do this not only in his message, but in
divers other proper ways after the as
sc milling of congress.

FRANK NOVAK'S DEFENSE.
IOwan Who Was Pursued to the
klondike Sets Up a Novel
Plea.

Virton. Ia. Nov. ia line Of defense
without parallel in the history of muruer
trials has been adopted by the attorneys
for Frank Novak. accused of the sensa-
tiona! murder of Edward Murray, ON the
night of February . last.
Summarized. it is claimed that on the
night in question Novak was awakened by
the fire which destroyed his store but only
after he had been SO overcome by the
gases in the building that he was not ac-
countable for his actions. and that, after
he had recovered from his temporary aber-
ration of mind, he had wandered so far
away from home that it was then impossi-
BILE for him to return.
On the other hand, it is claimed that
Murray did not arouse and was totally
overcome by the gases; that in falling to
the basement below he struck his head in
such a manner as to cause a fracture of
the skull and rupture of the dura mater:
that this occurred before life was totally
extinct. and that this accounts for the
blood ciot found within the skull. and
which the prosecution claims resulted from
blow inflicted by Novak.

Topeka, Kas, Nov. I9-,SpecialD The
growth of the new ,socialist-labor party in
Southeastern Kansas and its determination
to break away from all old parties are caus-
ing the Populist administration considerable
uneasiness The accessions to the new
party are coming from the Populist ranks
almost entirely, and If the socialist-labor-
ties put up a state ticket next year they
will take away a large number of Pop
votes.
The scheme Of the socialist-labor crowd.
as outlined 10 The Journal correspondent
by one of its members Is to be the first
party in the state TO nominate state tick
ct. Not having cast any votes last fall as a
separate party, the socialists will have 10
resort to petitions 10 get their ticket in the
field But they say that they will have no
difficulty in getting the requisite number OF
names TO force recognition on the official
ballot. The socialists have a scheme where
by they hope to swallow up the Popullst
party next year. In effect II is to nominate
their ticket by petition and put sufficient
number OF the old Populist state officials on
fl TO force the Populists al their state con-
vention TO indorse their ticket.
Attorney General Boyle, State Auditor
Morris Secretary of State Bush and State
Treasurer Heffiebower are on the slate of
the socialist-laborites. They will be NOM
mated by the new party Governor Leedy
and State Superintendent Stryker are billed
to go. Who will be nominated in their
places has not been decided upon. BY rec
ognizing four members of the administra-
tion the promoters of the new party Will
place the old Populist organization in a
very awkward position. 1t Will have TO ac-
cept the situation or make campaign with
defeat staring il straight in the face. II it
accepts il, the socialists believe they have
a fighting show to win.
Just how the fusion Democrats of the
state will take to the scheme is probIeniat-
ical. Some of its leaders are strong social
lists David Oyermyer has strong leaning
in that direction. ]. Mack Love, chairman
OF the state committee, is an out and out
public ownership man. He was converted
last winter and now claims that the saliva
ton of the republic depends on the govern
ment securing control of all public utilities.
While the leaders of the new party will not
talk much about the probable course of the
Democrats. they assert that no trouble is
expected from that source. 1t is the opinion
Of some that the scheme to nominate
ticket embraces plan TO make David Over
myer the nominee for governor.
