gave Stuart a majority of Sc votes. 1t
seems that the numbers on none OF the
tickets were clipped off the ballots by
the judges in this precinct, as provided
by law and the confession will move TO
have these ballots thrown out entirely.
If this is done it will decrease Stuart s
net majority to POI.
The attorneys for the confession have
two objects in view in bringig out the
testimony they have thus far. They
claim that under the Kansas election
law any candidate who gives away or
offers to voters either cigars, whisky or
money is disqualified from holding the
office even if he should be elected. They
hope to connect Stuart with the var
ious transactions of this character and
thus disqualify him from serving on
the bench.
Their other purpose is to show that
there was considerable drinking at Troy
and Highland Station on election day
enough, in fact, to make a rough
house, of the voting place while the
election was in progress. If they can
accomplish this it will constitute cause
for throwing out the ballots of these
two precincts. Troy gave Stuart 1873
majority and Highland Station gave
him 49, If these townships are thrown
out it will lack just one of taking away
Stuart's net majority in the entire dis

Some Interesting Evidence Given
This Afternoon.

GUY Anderson, the boy whom Cy Lee
land is accused of persuading to vote IL
legally. was placed on the stand this
afternoon and testified that he was
only 16 years old when he voted last
fall.
II met Mr.. Leland in hall of the court
house" he said in answer to different
questions, land L said to him, 1 wish
I was old enough to vote He said,
How old are your I said, Sixteen.
Then he said, H you will make a
good voter I went up to the election
Judges. but was challenged by James
Traut 1 started out, but Mr.. Leland
said wait. He asked me if wanted to

Leland said needed assistance. and Mr..
Graves went into the election booth and
fixed my ballot. 1 voted the straight
Republican ticket"
The boy was brought to Topeka today
bv Frank Elliott, who was Governor
Ieedy's executive clerk. On cross ex-
animation the boy was asked if Mr.. Ell
liott had not frightened him into giving
this testimony by threatening to prose-
cute him for illegal voting, but that he
would let him off if he (Anderson) would
testify Anderson denied all this, but
acknowledged that Elliott would not let
him talk to J. J. Baker coming down on
the train.

MAN WITHOUT A TICKET.

pocketful of all kinds of passes can ride

have the audacity to break it! A police
man saw the ''dead-head.'
He spat on his hands and was determin-
ed that a tourist riding on the ''side-door

when he landed. He grasped his club.
You might well telephone for the
