TO HOLD AN "AUTOPSY."
How the Kansas State Socialist Par
ty is Expected to Be Born.

The spectacle of a political party hold
ing an autopsy over itself to decide
whether it is really dead or only stun
ned by defeat will be seen here early in
January, according to the plan an
nounced by Taylor Riddle. chairman
of the Populist state central committee.
Mr.. Riddle says that he will call a
meeting of the state central committee
soon after New Years to discuss the
causes of defeat and TO decide on po-
htical plans for the future. The chair
men of all the county committees viii
be invited to participate in the meeting,
and the future of fusion will be freely
discussed. The idea is to gain the senti-
ment of the leaders over the state with
regard to whether the Populist party
shall be continued as in the past or
merged with the Democrats in forming
q. new Democracy. If it is decided that
the party is dead many Of the conserva-
tives, who were originally Democrats
anyway, will favor going into the Demo-
cratic party. and the old-Iine, middle
of-the-road Populist viii not consent to
any such plan When the merging
begins about So 600 old Pops" Will
emerge and organize a straight social
list party.
The state officers will be called into
the conference and allowed TO express
themselves as to the future.

a prize to the city school giving the
largest proportionate amount to the
fund and a. like prize was offered to the
country schools. The city prize was
won by the Harrison school and was
awarded some tnie ago. but the coun-
try prize has just been awarded. It
was won by the Dover school. which
gave an average of As cents for each
pupil The South Mission Creek school
gave nearly as much.
A committee composed of ex-senator
John Martin. A L. Rogers. Elias Shuu
and John Dudley, drove out to Dover to
deliver the flag. They went past the
South Mission school and left a smaller
flag there, and reached Dover about 1
o'clock. The entire town turned out to
the ceremony Mr.. Rogers turned out to
ter of ceremonies, Mr. Shu1 as flag
bearer and Senator Martin as orator of
the day, and there was patriotism by
the barrel as one Of the party ex-
pressed it.
The flag was a fine silk one designed
for interior decoration
