than the clubs from the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth wards appeared. They came

ment that no Republicans Were to be found
in that section Of the city. Then came
the Eleventh and Twelfth wards. TIL men
from Westport and the southern portion of
the city We're not only patriotic, but they
knew how to cheer.
One by one the various ward organiZa-
tons in the original wards reached the
scene. Nearly all of them were headed by
bands of music. BY $50 O'Clock every avail,
able niche in which a person could stand
was occupied and hundreds filled the hall
ways leading TO the main entrance. John
j. Green was one of the first arrivals. He
was for the ticket, and he wanted his
friends 10 support 1t. AT the request of
Chairman Love, of the city committee, he
called the gathering to order. His appear
ance on the rostrum was the occasion for a
demonstration of great enthusiasm.
j. J.. Green Called Meeting to Order
At $40 o'clock John j. Green, late candi-
date for the nomination for mayor, called
the meeting to order and introduced Hon.
J.. H.. HAIRLESS as the chairman for the
evening.
Another biennial election is upon u.s."
said Mr.. Harkless, and the Republican
party again comes before you with a ticket
never before surpassed: the party comes
before you confident in the victory that is
before US. We have but to be UP ard do
ing and the verdict is made up. He who
runs may read that the people of this city
are determined that ]. NJ Jones shall be
the next mayor of Kansas City. He makes
no apology but stands upon the record of
the past TWO years.
At this point Mr.. Harkless was interrupt
ed by the arrival of the great Ninth Ward
Club with a band and torches. The club
was greeted by the audience and filled the
hall to overlooking.

REGAIN WILL BE A FACTOR,
Lawyers Say the Attempt to Get Him
OF the Ticket Will
Fail.

II any attempt is to be made to prevent
Martin Regain from making the race as an
independent candidate for the lower house
of the council from the Sixth ward. moth
ing official is known at the Office of the
election commissioners. The official tick
cts will not be given the printers before
Monday next, however. and should a pro-
test be filed against the placing of Regan's
name on the ticket it will be disposed of
before that. time. The point made against
Regain is that the petition asking him to
become an independent candidate bears the
lanes of men who voted in the nominating
primaries of March :: and that it is not
lawful for these parties to participate in
the nomination of two candidates for the
same office. Some of the best attorneys in
the city say there is nothing in the con-
tentI9n: as an investigation Of its merits
of voters. thereby doing away with the sa-
credness supposed to envelop this privilege
of the voter.

Charles Z. Small was the next speaker.
James NJ. Jones will be the next

made the best mayor Kansas City ever
had, and because, in the language of the
scriptures, the people are not ready to re-
turn like a dog to its vomit or like a swine
to its wallow in the mire. Mr.. Sebree is
a good man, but the Democratic gang is
behind him. James N. Jones has cleaned
out the gamblers and that is a greater
service than any man ever rendered the
people of Kansas City. Almost single
landed and alone he ran them out. If
you want these places opened again, cont
vote for Jones. The women oil Kansas
City are praying for his election. He
cleaned out the police department so far

Two years ago the Democrats couldn't
find a Democrat to run against Jones. SO
they harnessed up that good old Republican

SUITS THROWN OUT.
whisky Cases Appealed to District
Court Observation-Disclosures
to Pay Costs,

Court Observation-Disclosures
to Pay Costs.
Judge Alden, of the district court in
Kansas City, Kas., yesterday dismissed all
Of the appealed whisky cases which AVE
past two years. The cases were dismissed
at the request of City Counselor Watson
and City Attorney Pollock. who represent
ed the city. The dismissal of the cases
was agreed to by the attorneys on both
sides and according TO the. terms Of the
compromise the jointkeepers must pay all
of the costs, which have been created by
virtue of the litigation.
There were about 200 of the cases and
the total amount of money involved was
about 10000. While it has not been be-
lieved that the city could win the cases.
yet the fact tina they have been dismissed
will set at ease the minds of the various
whisky men who were made defendants in
the suits.
The litigation grew out of an attempt on
the part of Governor Morrill's police board
in Kansas City, Kas.. to enforce the pro-
hibitory law. The police commissioners
served notice on all of the %jointists that
they would rave to quit business. The
whisky dealers refused to close their dram
shops and as a result they were arrested
every time a policeman could get into
their places of business. The jointists soon
learned that the police meant what they
said and the whisky men formed an or
ganiZation for the purpose of lighting the
authorities. About fifty of the i~ointists
who were determined to do business
pledged themselves to donate $40 each
monthly to be applied to a defense fund.
The money was raised and Attorneys Hale
and McGrew represented the jointists.
The police authorities paid no attention
to the jointkeepers' association and each
day a squad of the city's finest raided. all
the joints found open. The defendants
were taken before Judge Leland. then po-
lice judge, who imposed the maximum fine.
The iointists' attorneys carried each case
to the district court. This was kept up
for a month or two. when finally the po-
lice board was changed and the ~jointists
We're allowed to run under police protec-
ton. paying Il fine every two months.
The cases which We're appealed have
been pending in the district court ever
since the attorneys failing to take them
TO trial. Similar cases have been tested in
other parts of the state and it is claimed
that the city could never have collected
the fines had the cases gone to trial. The
present legal department Of the city coun-
Gil is inclined to believe that the city Is
very fortunate in escaping the costs Of
the litigation.

Persistent Rumors Say the American
and Pacific Express Companies
Are to BE Combined.

Rumors have been circulated through the
city and among business men for the past
week concerning the probable consolidation
of the American and Pacific express COM
panies. One rumor has it the American is
to absorb entire the business and organiZa-
tion of the Pacific and the rumor is also
in circulation that it will he the otiec way
about. Men in the employees the companies
here deny all knowledge of the authenticity
of the rumors and profess to believe there
is nothing whatever in them. The origin
of the rumors here IS n lesser officials of
one of the companies at St. Louis who said
the talk was general there concerning the
probable changes but hat no official infor-
nation was obtainable.
