.eTHROW OFF THE YOKE"
a. w. Smith Has Fallen Out With
His Old Gang.

emDhaticaIIy denies that he has re-
nounced or proposes to renounce Re
publican faith and espouse the cause of
POpulism. 1t was reported last week
that he was about to flop but he as
serts that he is guilty of no such inten-
ton.
Mr.. Smith believes it is high time for
the Republicans of Kansas to throw off
the yoke of Cyrus Leland but says:
THE Republican party is good enough
for me. I love it's principles and ad-
mire it's craftsmanship. 1t is the party
of the people and for that reason the
members of the organization in this
state should not permit the party to be
despOiled by Leland or any other self
STYLED boss

this matter. He said: L do not con-

that these orders should be placed here.

the Floral parade had passed Seventh

cars was going south on Kansas ave-

As soon as the end of the wire came

CHIEF srEELEs GOOD WORK
Streets Were Kept Clear as They
Never Were Before.

Chief of Police Steele deserves credit
for the manner in which the crowds on
the streets have been handled during
parades. Last year the parades were
crowded so that it was almost impOs-
sible for any except a few to see any
thing. This year the crowds were kept
back on the walks and everyone was
given an opportunity to witness the
professions.
People are impatient and it is natur-
al for them to crowd as closely as pos
sible to the parades. It is necessary to
take severe measures occasionally but
as a rule there is no fault to be found
with the manner in which the police
acquitted themselves.
