Gov. Leedy's
Acceptance.
Kansas Best Governor Stands Up for
Kansas and Renews Pledges for
Good Government.
OTHER OFFICERS ARE PRAISED.

1t was not possible to secure all of
Governor Leedy's address at the con-
vention but the following extracts will
give an idea Of the views expressed:
ITO be endorsed by denomination is
the highest honor that can be paid to
any man in this State. can only say TO
you, and say not only on my own be-
half but on behalf Of other members of
the administration, that to have an en-
tire administration renominated, and an
administration that has stood by me
during the past two years, Is the high
est encomium you could bestow upon It,
want to say that every member OF that
administration has been loyal to me
and without their support the admins
tration could never have been made o
success.
I'VE have been standing up for Kan
sas In the past two years, More than
that we have been standing up for the
State Of Kansas. We have State here
that we may be proud Of When our
friend, the Federal Judge of Arkansas
took 1t into his head to run things his
own way in this State, he told Mr..
Boyle and Mr.. McNall that they should
disregard the laws of the State and do
certain things. Mr.. Boyle and Mr.. Nc
Nall told him that they were officers of
a State that was State, and proceeded
to ignore the Federal Judge, and when
he saw the way they were acting he
said, Well, II you folks are going to
act up this way I'm going back to Ar
Fanoad anh Uhuf hn In cnt oh
It.. He's there yet, and as far as 1t con-
Germs the State, haven't noticed that
Mr.. Boyle Is losing any flesh, and as for
McNall, he couldn't because he is only
skin and bones now. CHEERS and laugh
ter.) And 1t wasn't long ago that the
Secretary Of War found out that we had
State out here In the West When |
wanted to commission some old soldiers
as officers Of volunteers, an officer Of the
United States came to me and told me
that the Secretary Of War had ordered
that no pensioners should be sworn In.
Well, sir, said |, L intend to commits
sion these old soldiers and the SecTe-
tary Of War can do as he likes about
swearing them in. That was the first
time the Secretary of War found out
found 1t out he was as shy about saying
anything about not swearing In old
soldiers as he was at the battle of Chan
cellorsville"
The Governor then repeated his well
known views relative to the commercial
possibilities which will develop as a
result Of the war He urged vigorous
prosecution of the war and intimated
that the dillydally policy Of the national
administration was pursued in order to
unduly prolong the war to assist in tho
election of Republican tickets this fall
on the war record.
Proceeding, he said: "Will we aban-
don the proposition of regulating the
railroads because the Supreme court
handed down an adverse decision In the
Nebraska freight rate law? Why, Of
course we won't. It will only increase

ment of the Present State
Officers.
GOOD GOVERNMENT ENDORSED.

David Overmeyer was elected tempo
rary chairman of the Democrat State
convention at Atchison. He congrat-
ulated the party on the revival OF the
old Democracy of Jefferson, Jackson
and Benton and upon the action of the
Chicago convention. He spoke in COM
plitnentary terms Of Bryan and ex-
pressed hope for his safe return from
the patriotic mission upon which he is
now going. He referred to the former
position of Republicans in Kansas and
to the partys downfall. He said that
there were times when he did not like
the terms upon which the result was ac-
complished but that he would not go
back to the old conditions. He eulo-
gized Governor Leedy as the greatest
Governor of Kansas with the exception
of Click, and added
John w. Leedy is just like him.
When Webb McNall came into power as
Superintendent of Insurance the insur-
ance companies laid down the law.
Their law was larceny" he fairly hissed.
"Then Webb laid down his law and
made them understand that his law was
law. The Stock Yards Company robbed
the farmers. 1t was made to obey the
law. The book trust was made to obey
the law. The transportation companies
were made to obey the law. The min
ing companies were brought down. Will
you commend these things or will you
condemn them? You will do one or the
other by your acts to-day"

retary and John O'Connell of AtchisOn,

KNEW THE SAFE COMBINATION
Frank Pittman Charged with Robbing
ID. 1. Scott & Co.

Detectives Asch and Dugan yesterday
afternoon arrested Frank Pittman for steal
ing money from a safe in the carpenter
shop of David !. Scott & Co., No. 337
Massachusetts avenue. Scott told the de-
tectives that during the last six weeks Pitt
man had stolen from him about So Pittman
was once employed by Scott. and during
that time he learned the combination of the
safe. When he left the carpenter shop he
took with him a key to the door. He has
lately been working at a jewelry store. 1t
is alleged that several times during the last
six weeks Pittman has gone to the shop at
the noon hour, when there was no one else
there, opened the safe and taken money.
AT noon yesterday, the detectives say, he
stole s. from the safe and was seen coming
out OF the shop. The detectives arrested
him and took him to the police station. He
denied that he had stolen money from
Scott. He was then taken to the shop and
questioned further In the end, the detec-
tives say, he confessed to them. The de-
tectives went to the jewelry store and
found $3.50 hidden in the cellar at place
described by Pittman. He will be tried in
Police Court this morning for grand lar
ceny.
Pittman is unmarried and has been living
at No. 50 North Pennsylvania street with
relatives. When he was employed by Scott
he became i'll. Scott sent him to the City
Hospital and paid his expenses until he
recovered.

CAUSES OF THE VICTORY
CHAIRMAN HANNA, OF MONETARY
COMMISSION, INDICATES THEM.
Where Sound Money Was Not In
voIved i'm the East the Demo-
Gratis Made Gains.

The monetary executive committee, with
headquarters in this city, had exceptional
opportunities for observation during the
campaign. The committee was in CORE
spondence with list of over 100000 business
men scattered through $50 congressional
districts in the country, and was actively
at work in the effort to elect sound money
legislatures in the thirteen States where
legislative contests seemed at all doubtful.
When a Journal reporter asked Mr.. II. III.
Hanna, chairman of the committee, for his
views upon the result yesterday he replied:
Every citizen who believes in sound
money and desires the prosperity of the
American people has reason to feel graft
fed at the result. We usually seek general
causes for election results. In this election
we can trace two distinct causes that had
a very general effect The first was the
belief of the people in sound money and the
desire to guard against the possibility of
silver legislation. The second was a desire
on the part of the people to support the
administration on account of it's successful
conduct Of the war.
,'You will be surprised that put the ques
ton of sound money as of more general and
uniform effect than the desire to support
the administration on it's war record, but
you will note that in the congressional cleo
lions in New York and Pennsylvania, where
the money question was ignored and Demo-
cratic candidates were generally understood
to be sound-money men, the Republicans
lost heavily. There were spots in the East
where the financial issue was brought to
the front, notably in New Jersey and where
this was the case the Republican losses
were slight, even in localities that have
been Democratic strongholds in the past.
In large number of districts in the East
both wings Of the Democracy got together
by ignoring the silver question and making
their fight either on State issues or On
criticisms Of the War Department. On the
other hand in those States where the silver
issue was clearly defined, the Republicans
made heavy gains, notably in California,
Washington, Wyoming, Kansas, the two
Dakotas and Michigan, while they held
their own in the congressional elections
and won handsomely in the legislative con-
tests in Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and other
States where the issue was clearly defined
and discussed. Unquestionably the desire
of the people throughout this Western ter
ritory to support the administration upon
It's war record cut q very large figure. The
people of the West are more enthusiastic
than those of the East and not so critical
and the war aroused among them a very
great enthusiasm"

The report of State Librarian William T..
Henry was filed with the Governor yester-
day. In it he holds that only a small pro-
portion of the people of the State have any
access to libraries and that not enough at
tention is paid to books written by In
dianians about their own State. There are
$4,000 books now in the State Library, but
dianians which are not among them. There
is now a bill ready for presentation to the
Legislature providing for a system of state
libraries which will supply books to every
citizen of the State.
Among the recommendations in the report
are:
1.-THE usual appropriation for the purchase
and binding of books should at least be in
creased to $500.
Increase office expenses and distribution
fund appropriation to $1,000 annually"

State Labor Commissioner Mccormack
has about given up all hope of effecting a
settlement Of the painters strike in this
city, for the present at least. Yesterday he
had a conference with the master painters
and found them a unit against making
any compromise with the painters until the
present boycott is removed from Fertig &
hevers. The master painters refuse to take
any part in the internal troubles of the
union. and, while they claim no right to in
terfere with the union disciplining its mem
bers, they refuse to become a party. either
jointly or severally. to any such move by
the union. The state labor commission re-
fuses TO discuss the merits of the stand by
either party. but men who are strong adj
hereats to organized labor say fatty that
the position OF the union is untenable and
will probably result in nonunionizing the
painters craft in this city If adhered to.

A few days ago the News printed under a
Dillsboro date line the news that the city
authorities of Aurora, Ind, had taken steps
against the owners of the match factory in
that city to prevent the employment Of
child labor and that many were found in
the factory. The article attracted the at
tention of State Factory Inspector McAbee,
who yesterday said that the Dillsboro report
was without foundation so far as the en-
ployment of child labor was concerned, be-
cause not week before the story was
printed he had personally inspected the fac
tory, saw every employee and failed to find
any one who was under the legal age.
