LIQUOR men ANGRY.
Hold an Indignation Meeting
Over Election of Mayor.

A meeting of Topeka saIoonkeepers
and agents of wholesale houses was
held last night at a former place of
business on Kansas avenue. 1t was in
the nature of an Indignation" meeting
for the expression of opinions concern
ing the recent action of Mayor Drew in
endeavoring to make Topeka a dry"
town, and incidentally the primary
election of today was discussed. The
discussion developed the fact that it
was practically the unanimous opinion
that Galen Nichols was the best man
for the liquor interests of Topeka
among the candidates for county attor-
ney, and before the meeting adjourned
every one present had pledged to work
in his interest today.
Several of the joinists expressed the
opinion that Mayor Drew's action is
simply a "grandstand" play. However,
it was decided that it would be best to
'lay low for a few days at least, and
as a result all the joints are still closed

WILL TAKE 1T UP.
Senate Will Act on Subject of
Popular Election.

Washington, April 14.-At the begin
ming of today's session Of the senate,
Mr.. Morgan (A1a-) offered and secured
the adoption of a resolution requiring
the attorney general to transmit to the
senate all papers filed in the Union Pa
cific railroad case and to inform the
senate why the Union Pacific received
in settlement of the case $4600,000 and
the United States only about $500 900.
Mr.. Berry (Ark.) directed attention
to the fact that the house of represen-
tatives had adopted a resolution in ia
vor of the election of senators by the
people, and he appealed to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections to
which his resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution for the
election of senators by the people had
been referred, to present a report either
in favor Of or against the resolution.
He regarded it as one Of the most i'm
portant questions before the country.
Mr.. Chandler. chairman of the com
mittee on privileges and elections, said
the committee had been very much en-
gagged thus far this session, but now
that the opinion of the senator from
Arkansas has been REINFORCED by ac-
ton of the house, doubtless the com
mittee will Immediately proceed to con-
slider the subject.
Mr. Chandler said that personally he
was opposed to the election of senators
| by the people, but he would be glad to
| have the question considered.

precinct Of the Second ward than any
where else on the east side. There We're
40 votes cast within two hours after
the primary opened, and at 1 o'clock
there were II men in line waiting for
chance to vote. The line extended out
of the building and across the walk,
and all around the outside was a large
crowd Of workers.
County Attorney Jetmore was there
putting in his best ticks for his I'M
derstudy, Galen Nichols, but no one
hazarded a guess on how the precinct
is going on the county attorney fight.
The friends of Dodge for representa-
tive, and Stephenson for county COM
missioner, were also working hard, and
it is probable that these two will carry
the precinct, as it is their home.
Judge Hazen was one of those in line
at 1 o'clock and it was his second at
tempt to vote Not that he was trying
to repeat, but there had been such a
crowd around the first time that he be-
came discouraged and went home. The
second time he came back the crowd
was about the same, and the Judge
lined up with the rest.
In the east precinct of the Second
ward, Dodge is also running we'll for
representative against Stafford, as the
shop men are largely for the former. If
carriages were any indication of the
fight on county attorney, Spencer has
the best of it in that precinct, as his
carriages seemed very numerous. There
had been 121 votes cast at 1870 O'Clock,
and Y men who had attempted to vote
were challenged on suspicion Of being
repeaters.
Down at the Hoffman House, the east
precinct of the Fifth ward not a white
man was in sight but the colored e1e-
ment was out in force. Immediately
around the voting place it was very
quiet, but gathered in small groups in
the neighborhood were 80 or 40 colored
! men, arguing the merits of the various
candidates. There had been 81 votes
cast shortly before 2 o'clock, and only
two challenges. 1t was claimed by those
around the polls that Nichols was in the
| lead for county attorney, and McKeevel
for representative.
At the middle precinct of the Fifth
ward at Seventeenth and Kansas ave-
nue. there had been 10 votes cast at 2:30
and no challenges. No one attempted
| to predict the result.
