has been particularly active in looking
after that class of people. IT am the

his friends are compiling from that the

Mr. Ryan was asked his opinion as
to the issues which will make up the
next campaign. He replied by saying:
In our state affairs it seems to me

legislature was wild-eyed on the sub

rows over the distribution of patron
age, it seems to me, are other sources
from which we can obtain ammunition
for the campaign.
II believe the money question will
receive some attention, but the anti
trust, anti-expansiOn, anti-imperialism
sentiments will be uppermost. These
new questions have arisen and we must
meet them. New issues cannot be
neglected. The time is ripe for the
people of this state and this nation to
begin an amending and relentless war
upon the trusts and combines which are
gaining control of the business of this
country. We will meet these questions
in the open and our policies will be in
the interests of the people.
There are many local issues which
will be made up when the campaign
reaches US, but the national questions
are now getting into such shape that
think we will have the principal battle
centering around them"

The British Guards Band Will Be In
duced to Play Popular Selections.

There will be splendid music and
many interesting novelties in the pro-
grammeS to be heard here at the con-
cert of Lieut. Dan Godfrey's British
Guards band. The critical ear will de-
light in such music as the william
Tell" overture, which the British Guards
render with most beautiful orchestral
effect, the splendid Faust selections
The cornet solos by F. L. KettlweH, the
premier cornetist of England, are an
unalloyed joy. while in f. S. Redfern
the public will hear the very first hau-
fist in Great Britain. A unique and
pleasing solo will be the ''Drummer's
Dilemma" in which the one artist, Mr..
Byrne, plays no less than twelve diff
ferent instruments. In marches the
public will delight in Ivan Caryll's PA
troll March, which represents the
march past of a regiment until their
steps vanish to the faintest possible
sound in the distance. The British
Guards is an especially effective new
march written by Charles A. E. Barriss.
Many persons will wish to hear a
few of the more livelier and popular
tunes and Director ]. B. Marshall prom

is recognized that some of the theaters

HERE Is ANOTHER.
Prohibitionists Think Senator PETER
False to Them.

The Prohibitionists don't like it be-
cause Senator PETER has gone over to
the Republican. Just why is not ap-
parent for he announced when he ac-
cepted the nomination as Prohibition
candidate for governor that he did not
believe in the third party but accepted
simply to get a test vote.
Chairman Williams of the Prohibition
committee says in his call for a meeting
of the committee:
1T is a bitter dose but we will take
our medicine. Second Peter, End chap
ter, 22nd verse;" will be an appropriate
epitaph for our late candidate for gov
nor, viz:
But it happened unto them according
to the true >proverb. The dog is turned
to his own Vomit again, and the SOW
that was washed to her wallowing in
the mire.

for our cause. Don't get discouraged:

long as there is collision between the
officials and the jointists. If our weak

dition existing in Leavenworth county

Crawford County Statesman
Hears Buzzing of Bee.
Tells Him That He Should Be
the Next Governor.
TOO SOON TO TALK.
The Senator Says He Is Now
Undecided.
Explains How Fusionists Will
Win Next Campaign.

The sentiment among the members of
the Democratic and Populist parties
seems to be generally in favor OF a
fusion of those elements in the state
campaign again next year. The fol-
lowers of that faith are confident of
success at the polls and the selection
of a clean, capable candidate to head
the ticket is now the principal subject
of conversation among them
There is another sentiment often ex-
pressed. to the effect that there will
be a change of crowds in the state cam
paign. No party in the state has as
many factions as are found in the Pop
by John Breidenthal and w. A Harris
United States senator. Then comes
the Lewelling faction and the Leedy-
ties.
The existence of these factions, al
though the antagonism is not marked
sufficiently to be discernible on the sur
face, has given rise to the theory that
a new man, whose identity is not
part of either of the old factions, will
be selected to fight the battle at the
head of the ticket. There are several
men willing to take the chance for vic
tory, but none of them are avowed can
didateS.
One man to whom some attention has
been given is Senator w. H. Ryan of
Pittsburg. He has been mentioned in
connection with the office, but has not
formally entered the race, although
there is every reason to believe that he
will do so at what he regards the
proper time. Mr.. Ryan was a Topeka
visitor this week and while here talked
to Journal reporter upon this sub
ject.
When asked if he had determined
what he would do, Mr.. Ryan said: Il
have given the matter very little
thought. Some Of my friends have
asked me to go into the contest, but
am undecided. The reason why am
undecided is, principally, because 1 be-
lieve that it is now too early to take
definite action on such important mat
tiers. Next year will be early enough
to settle these questions"
Mr. Ryan'S friends are grooming him
carefully for this race and he is, by the
Populist and Democratic leaders, look
ed upon as a candidate.
One of the principal arguments which
is made for Ryan is the fact that he
lives in the most thickly populated sec
ton of the state from which the Popu-

IN THE COURSE OF TIME
Topeka Peace officers Always Find
Things Out.

The officers of the law have discover
ed that a very lively cooking main took
place last Sunday just west of town.
The main was arranged several days
beforehand and only about 25 of the
best members of the sporting fraternity
were given the tip. There were two
battles, between local birds, for $50 a
side in each event. The crowd left To-
peka Sunday afternoon in carriages for
the scene of the encounter and a To-
peka jointist was selected for referee.
The fight was commenced as soon as
the last carriage reached the battle
ground. Before the battle was well
under way a quarrel arose over the
bets, and while the stakeholder and the
betters were arguing the matter two of
the birds were killed and another con-
troversy arose as to how they had been
killed while the principals were not
giving their closest attention.
A free fight was imminent, when it
was suggested that the party return
to town, take the dead chickens with
them and have an inquest when they
reached town. A secret inquest was
held in the rear room of a joint. After
the verdict was reached, which was not
given out. the dead chickens were
thrown out into the back yard.
