CHECK FOR $4,000.
Large Contributions Pouring
Into Strike Headquarters.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 23.-Secretary
Wilson of the United Mine Workers
today received check for $50. 600 for the
strike fund from the Illinois organiza-
ton. The Illinois N liners have within
four weeks given the national organize
ton 100000 for strike funds and still
have nearly a half million dollars in
reserve.
This donation, it is said, is the largest
received for a strike.
Wilson has received notice from in
dividuals of checks for as much as
81 900 that are now on their way to
headquarters, indicating that the appear
to the public for funds has been effec-
tive.
Secretary Wilson says no attempt will
be made to pay the anthracite strikers
stipulated sums of money weekly
Our intention" said he, lis not to
pay regular benefits but merely to take
care of the strikers and their families
1t is believed that the miners will not
attempt to keep bituminous coal OUT
of the anthracite markers, except as a
last resort.

Fusion Nominee For Governor.

II believe there will be larger vote
polled in Kansas at the election next

This is the prediction made by w. H.
Craddock. fusion candidate for COVER
nor.
Mr.. Craddock is in Topeka this after
noon. He has just returned from a trip
through the southern part of the state,
coming in from Barton county this
morning. If his prediction Is true the
vote next fall will go above 100000,
whereas it was below 100000 in 1898, the
last 'toff year" election.
wherever I CO." continued Mr.. Grad
dock, Il find plenty of people willing to
discuss political questions. The people
are taking great deal of interest
in politics this year, and this coupled
with the fact that there will be SO
many influences to get out a big vote.
the election of all county officers and
other things, will tend to make a rec
ord breaker of the next election.
"Of course, these meetings that we
candidates are called upon to attend
just now have no special political sig
nificance. We are asked to attend re-
unions and celebrations simply as at
We have to take our chances along with
the rest of the shows. The principal
good it does us is that we have chance
to meet a great many people and get
acquainted with them
THE campaign this year will be one
of good feeling and will be free from
personalities SO far as / am concerned.
Indeed I could say nothing against Mr..
Bailey personally if were disposed.
He is a good man. Governor Stanley
is also a good mani have known him
for thirty years. The campaign will be
along the line of the principles laid
down by our respective parties and viii
not be a personal fight between the
candidates. The Republicans are claim
ing that Mr.. Bailey will be elected by
5000 ma jority, but have my own opin-
ion on the subject and am not worry
