WATERS. (X)
John G. Waters,
Who wants the

Who wants the doll
Tip-If you haven't got the dime see
me at my Office.
Last night at the performance of 1.-THE
Three Hats" at Crawford's Opera House
the following circular was distributed
among the audience:
To the Voters in the Doll Contest-Do
not be misled by campaign stories. Po-
Htical and economical questions do not
enter into this contest. It is purely a
social matter. 1t is contest for social
leadership I am in the race In my
humble opinion the contest lies between
me and Col. Charles Lagerstrom. Jack
Waters claims place, hut he uncOuples
just above the shoulders. So pay your
money and take your choice.
ARCHIE F. WILLIAMS,
Member 400.
Tt is evident that the candid announce
ment of Hon Mr. Waters has done a
great deal to win him votes. Had he
eVaded the question as did Mr. Williams
by saying that it was a contest for
social leadership, and as did Mr.. Hagan
by saying he was forced into it, he
would not have received so many votes,
but the Hon. Mr.. Waters statement
that he really was in the contest be-
cause he wanted the doll is a statement
that appeals to the public the same as
the cry of a baby for a rattle. 1t makes
no difference who Mr.. Hagan is or what
Mr.. Williams humble opinion is, the
fact is apparent that Mr.. Waters is a
straightforward and honest campaigner
and if he wins the beautiful bisque doll
he viii be the happiest man in Topeka.
The statement that Mr.. Waters likes
two dolls better than one will be proven
to the public by an authentic photo
graph that will be placed on exhibition
in Moore's book store tonight. 1t is a
photograph of Mr.. Waters, taken last
summer, where he has a doll in each
arm and the look of peace and content
that Ger spreads the face of the fond
adopted doll papa is enough to soften
the hearts of the voters. The photo
graph will go on exhibition without fail.

Mr.. Waters vote this morning when
the polls opened was one. It Immediately
jumped to Al, and some malicious person
has started the story that Mr.. Waters was
seen to draw a check for s4 payable to
the Orphans home this morning. Such
slanderous stories as this should never
enter into the campaign. 1t should be
fight clean and above board. Mr.. Waters
denies it, and says he has no bank ac-
count
The citizens of Topeka should turn out
as one man and see that this fight is
fought out to a finish.
There is no doubt that several dark
horses will soon be in the field.

ASSISTANCE TO BUSINESS MEN.

In today's issue the BULLETIN
publishes a letter compiled by
committee from the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce setting
forth in brief and explicit
form the business conditions in
Hawaii. While this is not to be
regarded as an official document,
il lays the situation clearly before
the people whose attention has
been turued toward Hawaii since
annexation. Unfortunately many
people in the st ties have gained
the impression that this is land
whare milk aud honey can be had
for the asking.
