NICK CHILES. ABROAD.
Experience of Breezy Represents
tive of "Colored'. Newspaper.

Philadelphia, Pa, June ia
breezy colored man f1oated into the
corridor of the Walton and announced
himself as the business manager of the
Topeka Plain Dealer. From the lapel
of his coat hung three orange ribbons,
upon which were printed the advant-
ages of kansas-wheat, politics. and
newspapers. The streamers were fas-
tened to his coat with a two-inch but
ton bearing McKinley'S picture.
Where's HANNAH was his first
query No reply came from the Won

I represent the only 'colored' news
paper worth reading, and I'm here to
do business with the committed" the
advance agent continued, without no.
ticing the silence.
Some one ventured that the commit
tee might be found on the tenth floor.
That's where l do business said the
hustler. as he grabbed a pile of papers
from pickaninny, who was almost
hidden by a bunch of streamers, and
made for the elevator.
Garter, the committeemen's door
keeper, did not take kindly to the ad-
vance of the Kansan, and his papers
were not distributed. Leaving a lot of
cards bearing the name of Nick
Chiles," the African went down town
again to hunt up the Kansas delega-
ton.

He is a western man and is well known
and liked in Kansas. During the time
that he was sent here by the national
committee to make speeches he made
many friends and proved himself to be
a strong reaSoner and an orator. OF
course. we had all read of him before
but his coming to the state made US
all take more interest in him.
THE trust question is one that we
do not know all about and it is hard to
tell exactly. how far the party will go
in regard to it but it certainly VIII

the Democratic party will go still fur

II. c. Stafford did not hesitate an in

not Only go on record as being against
trusts but it should do something and
do it hard. 1t is the proper thing to do
and believe they viii do it.
A. W. Dana said: Roosevelt is a very
popular man in the west and partic-
ularly so in Kansas. He made many
friends on his trip through the state
by his speeches and he seems to have
the western spirit. AS he IS not can
didate l think the majority of KansanS
favor Mr.. DOlliver who has spoken here
several times both for the lecture
bureau and on the stump. He made
many personal friends here and OF
course a personal acquaintance cuts a
great figure in politics. He is a power
and it would be difficult to make bet
ter choice.
IN regard to the trusts believe that
something should be done but I do not
think that they should De exterminated.
A wise and reasonable control of the
trusts is the popular thing and it must
be done. do not think the party should
go to extremes in the matter and do
not believe it will. believe that the

fall even if they do not mention trusts
in their platform, but it would be due
to the great popularity of Mckinley and

would mean defeat four years later"
T. F. Doran said: 1T seems to me

that the party should take stand

the wise thing to go on record as

WHEAT-Liverpool cables were strong
er than anticipated today and continued
dry weather IN the northwest, causing Sc
we're damage beyond all question. The
most rabid bear has now given IL up and
bear traders who went tel see the crop, or
sent good men. have admitted that 1t is
fact that spring wheat is in very bad
shape and there will be a calamity unless
rains comes in the next three or four
days.
Cash markets are improving and the
foreigners who are always slow to be-
lieve crop damage reports are awakening
to the realization that with dark political
clouds gathering in the Orient, involving
two of the greatest wheat producing coun-
tries in the world and short wheat crop
for America. beyond question wheat will
be worth more money than for years.

REPUBLICANS WAITING.
Will Not Establish Headquarters Till
They Hear From Chicago.

The removal of the Republican head
Quarters to the new rooms either on
Kansas avenue or on Seventh street,
east is being delayed until the estab-
lishment Of the branch of the national
committee headquarters at Chicago.
This branch is in the hands of the
national congressional committee, and
has charge of the work of campaigning
in the western states.
From the Chicago headquarters the
assignment of speakers for Kansas will
be made, and until that work is under
way the state committee can make no
definite plans as to the future.
1t was the expectation that the ma
tional committee would begin business
in Chicago today. but no announcement
to that effect having been made it is
the suppOsition among the Kansas Re
publican managers that the opening
will now be delayed until after the ma
tional convention next week.
At that time, or at such time as these
headquarters are established in Chi
cagO, the Kansas committee head
quarters will begin active work of
planning for the campaign. The out
lines of routes for speakers will be de-
termined; the dates and places to which
the speakers will be sent; the polling
of precincts, and other detail work will
begin in earnest.
The active speaking and Smelling the
woods will begin in September, and
by that time the Kansas committee
hopes to have all of the preliminary
work completed SO that the campaign
may be carried on increasingly in every
corner of the state until election day
It is practically assured that there
will be no executive committee in con-
nection with the Republican state COM
mittee'S work during this campaign

monthly meetings. the work which. has
been generally in the hands of an ex-
ecutive committee being disposed OF

gossip and informal conferences among

sentiment around any individual for the
vice presidential nomination. Neither
Senator Hanna nor those VINO are close

If you would take us into your con-

it would simplify the situation greatly

the president would like" said a prom

Senator Hanna's only observation on
the situation was that until the delega-

VIM. Stryker Says Republicans
Are Helping Jim Orr.
Lending Aid to Defeat Nominal
ton of David Martin.
HE WILL BE NAMED.
Mr.. Stryker Says Martin Can
Not Be Beaten.
If Democrats Insist There viii
Be a Split.

William Stryker. ex-state superin-
tendent, who is conducting the Wa
baunsee county institute, spent the day
in Topeka visiting his political friends.
Mr.. Stryker is one of David Martins
warmest supporters and is confident
that Mr.. Martin will be the nominee of
the fusionists for associate justice.
Il have not one word to say against
Mr. Cannon or any other man who seeks
the nomination as Democrat," said
Mr.. Stryker, but things are getting IN
to such shape that whoever makes a
fight against Martin will have to face
the charge that he is the tool of the
railroads or at least the railroad candi-
date brought forward under a Demo-
cratic disguise.
THE Democratic railroad managers
can not organize against the Martin
forces successfully. The POpuliStS and
Democrats of Kansas are too shrewd to
be captured by railroad scheme
planned by the Republican and Demo-
cratic railroad officials jointly Mr.. Orr
of AtchiSon who is making the fight
ing of the Republican railroad officials
and so the plans are made to overthrow
Martin.
Martin will be the nominee for as
sociate justice" continued Mr.. Stryker.
IF the Democrats will not accept that
then there will be a split. But, the time
has not come in the fusion politics of the
state when the Republicans aided and
abetted by Democrats who really be-
long in the Republican party, can fur
nish the candidates for places on the
supreme court
Mr.. Stryker says the Populists are for
Judge Martin and that Jim Orr's state
ment, later shouldered by Mack Love
to the effect that the railroads will
spend $50, 600 to defeat Martin will as
sure his nomination. Such things as
this establish a mans reputation" saiL

roads are against Martin makes him al
once a friend of the people,

They differed somewhat on the trust

agreed that the party should declare
