POLL OF KANSAS TAKEN.
It Shows Majority for mckinley Of
More Than $4,000 Votes.

Topeka, Kas Oct. 22.-The totals in
what is regarded as close poll OF
Kansas were given out last night by
the republican state committee, and
they show a majority for Mckinley OF
24,196. This poll shows that there are
100000 voters in Kansas. Five thou
sand of these are socialists, and will
support the Debs ticket. Three thou
sand are third-party prohibitionists,
and will support Wooley. OF the re-
naming $4,000, $4,000 are for McKin.
ley, $4,000 are for Bryan, and 5000
are doubtful. OF the 100000 voters in
the state 100000 will go to the polls
and vote. OF this number Mckinley
will have 176,250, Bryan 151,250, Debs
and Wooley $500. This estimate
gives almost two-thirds of the doubt
full vote to Bryan. Chairman Albaugh
said last night:
Both branches of the legislature
will be republican. Our poll shows
that Mckinley will carry thirty of the
forty senatorial districts, and there is
no good reason why republican SEN
ator should not be elected in each Of
these thirty districts"

University Attendance at standstilI

Iowa City, Oct. 22-The attendance
at the University of Iowa up to today
is 1924. This means that the total
enrolment will just about equal that
of last year. 1t was 1,40O last year. 1t
seems pertinent to inquire why the at
tendance has thus decreased or at most
held it's own. The other large univer-
sites have had enormouse increases,
especially the universities of Wiscon-
sin, Chicago and Michigan. The con-
dition here would seem to predict a
better enrolment for the state univer-
sity; excellent executive management;
an augmented staff, and prosperity
everywhere. No one here seems able
to answer the question why the uni
yersity attendance has not increased.

SPLIT IN THE SECOND.
Henry Vollmer Fights With Free
Silver Organ.

Davenport, Oct. 2o.-tspeciaD-
There was a big political sensation
here today. Vollmer sent letter to
the Times demanding the withdrawal
of his name from the columns of the
Leader" the democratic free silver
organ, alleging as a reason that the
paper has made secret attacks on
him.
He denies he has receded from the
position taken in his acceptance letter
or that he is attacking the banks.
The Democrat" (gold) is now the
only paper supporting yonmer. The
Leader" is for free silver. A bitter
fight is likely and it will serve to
strengthen Rumple's candidacy.

make wagers among themselves on
majorities. No democrats can be
found who will bet cent on Steck, or
in fact any: of the county ticket.
