The Democrats. especially, declined to be
committed to the haul down the flag part
Of the fusion platform. The candidates
have had hard time of it. The radical
Populists insist they should have stood
square on the platform; should have stood
Up for Aguinaldo and his dictatorship,
which he calls a republic.
POP COMMITTEEMAN's VIEWS.
This is nonsense" said a committee
man yesterday IF the haul down the
flag sentiment of the Populist platform
were TO be voted on as a separate propo-
sition, It would lose by 1900 votes. 1t
was not good politics to put that fool
plank there. The only thing we can do
now is to let the people forget that IL
is in the platform at all. Probably not
one in five has read it" So the candi-
dates are lodging They don't want to
talk to any newspaper man for fear they
will say something that will help to re-
call the unpatriotic and thoroughly de-
testable haul down tAe flag plank.
THE TWENTIETHS WELCOME.
The sixty thousand men and women
from all parts of Kansas to welcome the
Twentieth Kansas and the gallant Cen
eral Funston, was news that sent a
heavy chill to the local haul-downers No
expression could be gotten from the wise
ones as to the political significance Of
the reception given the Twentieth Kansas
troops. IF Funston should come to
Wichita Saturday night" said a fusion
leader yesterday, there is no telling what
might happen to the ticket 1t might
mean a possible stampede, but l don't
look for that. Funston will not be here"
ASHAMED TO DEFEND PLATFORM.
The situation is becoming serious for
the fusionists. They will not personally
defend their own platform. They are both
afraid and ashamed. Nor will they de-
fend their past record on the money ques-
ton. But they catch at straws. They
quote Carl Schurz, who censured Lincoln
in 1862, and left the Republican party to
support Greeley in 1872. With this name
they seek to get German support.
POPS APPEAL TO w. c. T. u.
Then ehey quote the w. c. 7. U. reso-
buttons condemning the canteen in the
army as a concession to the prohibition
vote. All the votes Carl Schurz will give
them from the local German people and
all the votes the crusade against the cam
teen viii make them from prohibition
lists will not be sufficient to determine
this election or to justify the shameful
sentiment of their PLATFORM. The candi-
dates must defend the platform. When
taken to task about it they refuse to take
a stand and throw up their hands and
quote with a great puff the resolutions
of a w. c. T. Z. convention in Chicago
ON the canteen question

GASOLINE STOVE EXPL0DES
Causing some Damage 10 Rooms on
West Douglas

The explosion OF a gasoline stove in the
room Of Mrs. Deerdorf, over Il6 West
Douglas avenue, came very near causing
a destructive fire last night about S
o'clock. The fire department was early

the flames with the aid OF the chemical
engine, not. however, before considerable

Nm. SPlEA Is DEAD
Popular Mo. Pacific Conductor
Victim of Heart Trouble.
DIED AT 1890 YESTERDAY
How He Figured in the Guam
treII Raid in '63.

William Speer, one OF the best known
and most popular railroad men in this
city, died at the family home, 1893 St.
Francis avenue, yesterday morning at
11:30 o'clock. Death is supposed to have
been the result OF a long siege of heart
trouble, which has been especially severe
for the past year, giving the family a
great deal OF concern for the patient S
welfare. OF late the spells had become so
acute that they could no longer be en-
dured and yesterday the life of a good
and noble hearted man passed away.
Owing to the absence of the deceased S
father. Mr.. John Speer, no arrangements
for the funeral services have been at
tempted and will not be until he can be
heard from. He was wired at PhiladeI-
phia yesterday, and is expected to reach
home by Saturday. All arrangements will
be carried out according TO the fathers
wishes, and it is probable that the funeral
will take place Sunday. The deceased
was 32d degree Scottish Rite Mason and
he will be given a Scottish Rite funeral
ceremony, though the wishes of Mrs.
Speer will be consulted as to whether or
not it shall be conducted at the home of
the deceased.
