Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1902-09-27

Claud Duval, fusion nominee for
Secretary of State, spoke to few peo-
pie in the court house, Monday after
noon. He denounced very vehement
ly the Republican party and made
very painful effort to denounce the
Stanley state administration, begging
for votes and claiming il the fusison-
lists are elected the burdens of taxa
tion will about all be shifted to the
railroads. Does the Honorable Claud
suppose the people have forgotten the
Llewellyn and the slate" Leedy adj
ministrations. both were elected on
just such ''bOgwash" promises as the
Hon. (?) Claud gives out and when in
stalled into Office did nothing but
spend the peoples money in a very
foolish manner, and created good
big scandal in every state institution
and plainly showed themselves to be
wholly incompetent to run the affairs
the state, and from the past record of
the fusion state Candidates if elected
nothing better can be expected from
them than was ''doled out" by the
two fusion administrations, which
gave out stencil that rent the sky,
and caused blush of shame to come
over every citizen of the state.

THREATENED DISASTER.
Midnight Blaze on Dexter Avenue
Mastered With Babcocks.

An alarm of fire was turned in this
morning at 1890 from Dexter Avenue.
Patrolman Story. who was on that
beat, saw volume OF smoke coming out
the hallway at 100 IL Dexter Avenue,
between Shulman's bargain house and
Avinger's barber shop. AT the same time
the alarm was called out from a window
of the building by one of the inmates
The fire started between the ceiling OF
Shulmans store and the flooring upstairs.
1t was apparently caused by defective
fue. The entire fire department was on
the scene in a few seconds. When they
reached the avenue smoke was pouring
out the hallway and flames had broken
through the floor. Quick work with the
Babcock's soon mastered the blaze, which
at one time threatened the block between
Perry and Lawrence Streets.
The damage done was slight The
building was used as an apartment house
by Mrs. s. f. Doster. a dressmaker. and
two or three other families
A second alarm was telephoned In from
the same place about an hour after the
fire was extinguished. and when the fire.
men arrived a brisk blaze was found In
the floor about three feet from where the
first fire originated. This was extin-
guished and a thorough examination was
made. It is thought the rich pine floor
ing had retained some of the fire which
was overlooked at first.

the general home market idea. Beet SUI
gar was one of the few things upon which
"a splendid protective argument for the
farmer could be made. We made II. the
Republican party made 1t on the stump
throughout the West. Protection for the
eet-grower was a very substantial issue;
1t appealed to districts where protection
of wool had ceased to be of much value
because the industry had moved vest
ward
Il do not see how we could go before
the country having made only one change
in the tariff, and that against the farmer
1t would be a tactical mistake of the first
magnitude"
These views are quoted as illustrative Of
the arguments which are obviously hav-
ing so much effect upon the House or
Representatives. At least two MasSachu-
sets Republican members are strongly
inclined to vote for beet sugar, and prob
ably will do so, even though Massachu-
sets. and especially the districts they
represent. will never have any relation
to sugar except In refining and consum-
ing Sugar Is at the basis of large
number of Eastern industries; the re-
filming itself Is great Eastern indus
try: the westward movement or sugar
from the Eastern coast is very large
item Of profit to the railroads. which are
in any event hauling westward many
empty cars. II thus appears that every
Eastern interest is with the cane sugar.
in addition to the opportunities through
reciprocity for new markets in cuba, SO
MAT when Massachusetts Republicans
vote with the beet people 1t VIII reveal
more clearly than anything else can the
cohesive force of public plum that is, OF
the protective principle.
The thing which the party leaders fear
most Is that In some way the harmony
Of the majority ranks may be broken.
1t will not do to permit any Republicans
to vote with the Democrats, for by so
doing the Babcock bill and much other
legislation calculated to unsettle tarin
and business conditions could be passed
through the House. 1t Is agreed that
House Republicans must stand together.
however dissatisfied any may be with the
conference conclusions finally reached.
The course of the Senate is still uncer-
tain. 1t is holding back the revenue-re-
duction bill, which was hurried through
the House, and will doubtless return
whatever it intends to do for Cuba, II
anything as a part of that bill. The
struggle will then come in conference.
For many year the Senate has written
the sugar schedules of every tariff bill;
there Is a tradition that sugar legisla-
ton belongs to that body Just as certain
Offices are by tradition denomnated
Senatorial patronage" The beet sugar
people of the House seem to think that
they are going to have something to say
In the present sugar controversy as tney

conference. and expect TO commit the
ference. The situation Is highly compli-
Gated To dispose of 1t without opening
up the entire tariff controversy and the
trust question in its relation with the tar
