Both Sides of the Campaign.

The Kansas City Star has decided
upon special feature for the presi-
Dental campaign which was never
undertaken before by any newspaper.
At its request the chairman of the
two national committees, Messre. Jas
Z. Jones and NJ. A. Hanna, have Sc
lected and appointed two dlstin-
guished writer's to conduct, in the
Star, a department to be called "The
Campaign Forum" To this depart
ment the arguments of each of the
two great parties will be presented,
side by side, day by day. To con-
duct the democratic side, Mr.. Jones
has selected aud formerly appointed
Willis J. Abbott, chief of the press
bureau of the democratic national
committee, and, for the republican
side, Mr.. Hanna has selected and ap-
pointed the famous journalist and
literateur, Murat HaIstead- Upon
learning the decision of the two chair
man, the Star Immediately engaged
the two gentlemen and on Sunday,
August IS, the Campaign Forum will
be ineugursted, to be continued in
the regular issue of the Star, daily
and Sunday, until the end of the
campaign. An interesting feature of
the Forum will be the answers to
questions upon campaign topics, sub
united to the Star to be answered by
either Mr. Halstead or Mr.. Abbott. or
both. Under the circumstances, the
answers thus given will have the
stamp of authority OF the national
committees.

monied monopolies, the spirit of
which has carried US farther than we
prophesied, and we fiud ourselves
face TO face with the problem of inn
perialism and all that it eatalls with
increased taxation to support stand
ing army destined to grow, and to be
used to sutjugate and Cypress our
own citizens as we'll as those of weak
er nations.
This new and alarming phase of
danger, which threatens our liberty
and the overthrow of the republic, is
but the natural development of the
methods and power of the great CEN
trahzing monied monopoly. which is
determined to control the machinery
of our government in every depart
ment, and use its power TO compel
the people to pay tribute to capital,
in every act and necessity of life. All
means of production and distribution
are rapidly passing to the control of
trusts. The small manufacturers,
millers, grain dealers and merchants
are the doomed victims of the mighty
trust. The farmers of Kansas, while
enjoying the result of bountiful har-
vests and abnormal foreign markets,
ought to reallze that they, too, are
doomed to pay a steadily increasing
tribute to trust monopolies, in unjust
freight tariffs and determinations
which, IN the end, is to reduce the
purchasers of farm products to one
great monopoly.
Our party stands as the peoples
organization, to rescue the govern
ment from an imperialistic policy,
policy fed by centralized wealth and
used to plumber and oppress the peo-
pie on every hand. I sppesl to all
members of our party, and especially
to those who for years have stood
shoulder to shoulder 10 the long
struggle for industrial and CONNER
cial freedom, to rally once more and
enter this campaign with the oldtime
zeal and self sacrificing spirit that
has characterized the party since It's
inception, and which has brought VIC
tory and corresponding benefits to all
the people of Kansas.
IN meeting the enemy in it's new
guise we are not losing sight of the
fact that the ultimate relief from ex-
listing conditions must come along
the lines of mUre extensive govern
ment ownership of the means Of pro-
duction and distribution. We are
still battling for system of govern
ment money instead of bank money,
and a government system of transport
tation instead of a private system,
and never before have we had the
sympathy and CO operation CT our
allies as we have in this campaign.
This should be encouraging news to
every veteran in the work and should
inspire him to renewed energy in the
peoples cause.

Chairman peoples party state COM

TO THE PUBLIC

Six years ago the Deering Roller and Bali
Bearing Binders and Mowers were placed on
the market. At that time the progressiveness
of the Company was jeered at by competitors,
and failure was predicted. Today the only
competitor the Deering has, has adopted, as
near patents will permit, the principle of
roller and ball bearing. Bnt the Deering of
today and that of six years ago are very diff
ferent, and the old reliable, the DEERING,
is still six years in advance of all others. See
them at local headquarters.

MEETING POSTPONED.
The Campaign for Constitutional Con-
vention Opens Tonight.

Owing TO a misunderstanding as to
whether the City Democratic Committee
or the Old Dominion Club should have
charge of the meeting at Old Market
Hall last night, the opening OF the cam
paign in behalf of the constitutional
Convention was postponed
Judge William Hodges Mann. who was
to have made the principal address, will
be heard later on.
There will be d meeting at Belvidere
Hall tonight under the auspices OF the
Clay Ward Actives. State Senator VIII
liam P. Barksdale. of Halifax, will be
one of the speakers.
Chairman Ezjlyson said yesterday he had
received reports from every section OF
the State and they We're all of a very en-
couraging nature. The Republicans do
not seem 10 be very active in their OPP
position to the convention. but Mr.. Ely
Tyson is taking no chances. He wants
the local chairmen to be vigilaut and to
keep up the work they have so enthusi-
astfcally begun
There has been much opposition to the
convention in the Ninth District, but
Chairman T. A. Lynch writes MIR. Ell.
Tyson that everything is now in good
shape out there. The Democrats of the
Southwest are very well satisfied with
the action of the Norfolk convention and
they will vote for revision OF the Con-
stftutiou.

The crowd in front of The Times BtISd-

phone was one OF the largest ever as
sembled in the Capitol Square
Some time before the hour for the mil.
Ito be pulled off the crowd began to as
4sernble. and showed their interest in the
light by cries for news, and calling on the
tmegaphone artist to begin the game, al
though the big fight had not commenced.
They were amused for while by tho
results of the preliminary bouts and
choice bits of telegraphic news. The ex-
element began when the words vera
sent out that the principals were entering
the ring
As soon as the fighting began it was
evident that Corbett was the favorfre.
Jeffries also had a large number OF friends.
In the assemblage. and as ne landed
good one he was heartily cheered.
AS the fight progressed the crowd In
creased until the entire hillside waa
covered by the admirers OF the contest
who were eager to learn the result. They
iollied the megaphone man in the nosi

were disappointed when the result wai

in chief the accused was several timex
overcome and his voice trenibied.
Walter Duke, an employees OF tho Has
ker-AIarcuse Company testified to tbs
fact OF Barnett and the young woman
getting off from work upon the day that
they were alleged TO have gone to tha
home OF Rhodes. His memory was very
bad He could not say that Rhodes had
ever told him anything about his wife
before the circumstances Of the visit of
Barnett and Miss Meoni to the Rhodes
residence.
James A. Hunt. a Hasker-Marcuse en-
ployee, was the next witness. He said
that he carried u message from Miss
Meonl 10 Mr.. Rhodes concerning the ru-
mors about her visit to his home.
Counsel for the defence then stated that
they were through with the probable eS-
eeption of one. more witness. and the
prosecution said there would be about
half a dozen witnesses in rebuttal. and at
$50 o'clock court adjourned to 10 O'Clock
this morning.
The case will probably be concluded to-
