A MAJORITY OF13
Seems Assured to Republicans in the
National House.

Washington, Nov. live have re-
ceived confrmatory information from
every district in the United States, "said
Chairman Babcock of the Republican
congressional committee today. This
shows that the Republicans will GER
tainly have 13 majority and perhaps
more than that over the combined op-
position in the next house of represen-
tatives. Any changes which subsequent
returns may make will be in the direc-
tion of increasing our majority. The
straight out Republican strength shown
will be 185''
Representative Cochran from the
Nineteenth New York district was at
Republican headquarters today. On the
face of returns so far received, he has
been defeated by IA votes, but Mr.
Cochran claims that when the votes of
the soldiers of his district now at Camp
than majority and show that he is
elected. The Republicans are counting
on this as a strong probability in which
case they would have 10 majority in the
house. Word has been received at head
quarters that in the Second California
and the Twelfth Texas district which
were considered doubtful the Democrat
ic nominees have been elected. Chair
man Babcock has received information
indicating that the Republican nOmi-
nees in Tenth Kentucky, Ninth North
Carolina and Ninth Virginia will con-
test the election of their Democratic Op-
Republican nominee Twenty-sixth Penn
sylvania will demand a recount of the
official vote which gave the election to
A. CASTOR, the Democratic candidate.

DESERTED THE TICKET.
Some Populists Say Tt Was the Veto
of the Railroad Bill.

Governor Leedy's veto of the railroad
bill is according to the conclusions which
some of the Populists are reaching. re-
sponsible for the defeat of the Populist
state ticket. Many of them assign vari-
Gus causes 'tfor publication" but private
ly say that the governors veto was not
taken in the spirit that he intended it
John Martin, ex-United States senator
and at present clerk of the supreme court

permitted to become q law was RESPONSE

THE returns from the various counties
indicate that the Democrats voted the
fusion ticket very generally. From out of
the country precincts come returns which
show Republican gains. This unquestion-
ably means that the old-time Populist de-
serted Governor Leedy.

M'NALL STILL FIGHTING
Acts Decisively in an Accident Policy
Case From Wichita

Notwithstanding the result of the cleo
ton, Webb NcNan is still doing business
with the insurance companies the same
as ever. In the mail which he opened
this morning he found a letter from T.
K Sexton Of Wichita, stating he had
heard Governor Leedy say in a speech
that one of the purposes of the depart
ment of insurance was to make insurance
companies live up to their contracts. He
said that he had been carrying an acci-
dent policy in the Preferred Accident In
surance company of New York; that he
had taken out the policy and paid the
premium for one year, but during the
time had suffered a fall in a street car;
that he had collected insurance from the
company for part of the time that he was
disabled, but when they paid it the com
pany Cancelled his policy. although 1t
lacked some time of running out. Mr.
Sexton asked if the company could be
compelled to let him keep his policy.
Mr.. McNau Immediately wrote to the
company that they had no license to do
business in Kansas and in soliciting busi-
ness they were violating the insurance
laws. He further said that if they did
not carry out their contract with Mr..
Sexton he would turn the matter over to
the attorney general, with instructions to
prosecute them and their agent at Wich-
ita for violating the Law

FOR DEPUTY WARDEN.
D. B. Dyer of Smith Center, Has Ask
ed for the Place.

D. b. Dyer of Smith Center has an
nOunced himself as a candidate for dep
uty warden of the state penitentiary.
He is the first man in the field and is
making all the progress possible in the
way of securing endorsements from the
Republican workers in different parts
of the state.
Mr. Dyer has been travelling through
the northwestern part of the state for
several years representing a Republican
paper and has thereby gained a large
acquaintance. Smith county, it ig
claimed, will be unanimous for him.
The Sixth district will undoubtedly seek
considerable recognition this year be
cause it pulled a Republican majority
out of a POpulist stronghold and that
without a single candidate on the state
ticket to aid the workers. AS a matter
of fact the victory of w. a. Reeder in
the Sixth is the most conspicuous fea-
ture of the campaign which ended with
the election.

between this country and Spain. did
it at the direction of the president of our
country. Peace, I believe. was the pur-
pose of the American people. When war
did come, however, your president was a 3
quick, as resolute and sure in striking
a decisive blow to Spain as he had been
patient and forbearing before.
But now that peace has once more been
restored. the American people are face to
face with a grave question. What is to
be done with the Philippines? Our flag
is in Manila bay. Every instinct Of our
people is averse to what has been mis-
taken for Imperialism. And yet, after
giving the Philippines a taste of freedom,
to leave them to their fate now would be
crime against God and man.
