ALL CUT UP.
No End of Candidates in the
Field For the Doll.
Shall the Topeka Club or the
Elks Garry the Days

The polls in the Hawaiian doll election
close tomorrow night.
The people of Topeka who have not
yet voted should do so tomorrow bright
and early and repeat as many times as
possible. The Australian ballot law
cuts no figure in this campaign but the
old fashioned way of stumng the ballot
box goes.
Yesterday afternoon the following an
nouncement appeared and created some
excitement at the polls:
DOLL CONTEST.
TO voters: Please Don't forget me!
I am too modest to say who ought to
have the doll Humbly yours,
DEAN LOW.
At II o'clock the following appeared:
AN OUTRAGE.
At the last count I had only seven
votes. Every TOpekan knows full well
that there must be corruption some
from AtchisOn, been recognized as THE
society leader in Topeka. All Topeka
young society ladies can verify this
statement. l leave you to draw your

Are you going to permit it? Yours
socially, THOS LEADER KING.
Vote this way:
For the Doll, Thos. L. King, XXI
Following close upon the others came
the announcement of Hon. Jas. E.
Larimer, the rising young attorney.

of the many things the Hot Foot So

support Of all who believe in Greater
Topeka JAMES E. LARIMER,
Lord High Chamberlain, Topeka Hot
The above resulted in bringing out

The following was the last announce
ment to appear:

Girls: I did intend getting out a
dodger but was afraid my wife might

stay in Europe but conhdentialIy I want
that doll. Yours on the strict Q. T,
BENNETT r. WHEELER.
At noon today the Hon. John Charles
rage on the street with placards and a
small boy carrying large banner that
read First Ward Waters Club" The
action Of Mr.. Waters of late since he
has been rather sure of the election has
lost him many votes and it is safe to
say that by tomorrow he will be dis
popularity fast.
The vote now stands as follows: Hon.
John Charles Waters, 55' Gen. Eugene
Hagan, 27; Col Chas. Lagerstrorn- 27:
Bennett r. Wheeler, 1; Hal HazIett, 1;

Of True Democracy to a man. Some
thing like $50 votes is rumored. Just at
present the Hon. Johnnie Charlie Wa

go back on a man of their choice. The
Hon Mr.. Waters has caused a few enc

speeches he has made in which he de-
nounced the Yale Lead but the Elks
have decided that they will stand by
the youngest member in the herd and
Hagan may not receive the coveted
prize after all. Williams claims the
First Second and Third wards for Ha-
gan by enormous pluralities but Char
ley Holiday is certain that Waters will
carry the Fourth and Fifth with enough
