and Republicans appointed at once to
do the work.
Mr.. Sutton will appoint Republicans,
shove the Democrats out, and if they
retain the offices it will be through an
order from the proper courts.
The Republicans, especially the party
managers. have been greatly discOm-
flied by the operation of the civil serv-
ice regulations. Political campaigns
cannot be conducted successfully un-
less there are rewards to bestow- To
secure possession of these offices the
president must interfere.
To induce the president to interfere
is the object of a general and spirited
campaign which is now going on in
all of the western states. The prest-
dent is being besieged by letters and
personal visits to revoke at least a part
of the civil service order made by
Cleveland The politicians are demon
Strating as far as possible to the presi-
dent that unless he takes care of the
Office seekers it will be useless for him
to seek denomination and reelection
1t has been announced that Rankin
Mason would make a test case in Kan
sas and ascertain the true extent of the
operation of this law. To this report
a prominent Republican said today:
Mason won't get an opportunity Mike
Sutton will take possession of his office

NEWTON IS COMING.
An Immense Delegation to the Fal
Festival Expected

CF'rom the Newton Daily Republican,
By the arrangement Of the programme
for the coming Topeka Fail Festival,
Wednesday. September 2S, has been set
aside exclusively for the Santa Fe sill
yer anniversary celebration. In the
morning will be the parade, in the aft
ernoon the reception and another pa
rade in the evening
This festival, especially since there
will be such a magnificent railroad eel
ebratiOn. and more especially after the
letter of General Manager Frey. which
appeared yesterday in the Republican,
should greatly interest Newton There
is no reason why there should not be a
good attendance from here, not only of
railroad men but of all classes. To-
peka amply demonstrated last year her
ability to take care of her thousands
and thousands of visitors, and will do
it again. OF course the reunion of the
old soldiers will not be held in Topeka
this year, but there are other countless
attractions and they will be interest
ing.
