annual dinner of the Kansas Dav club
l ask you to present my most cordial
greeting to all its members. Standing
for party loyalty, but insisting always
that it's members shall stand for sound
political principles, for wise laws and
honest administration, the Kansas Day
club has been powerful factor in re-
storing to her place in the column of
Republican states, and tonight it be-
gins the campaign that shall end on the
Sth day of next November with a hun
dred thousand majority for Theodore
Roosevelt and the whole Republican
ticket. CHAS. r. SCOTT
Here was another:
Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 90, 1904.
Secretary Kansas Day Club, Topeka,
Kan.
Greetings and best wishes.
ELI H CHANDLER -
Chandler was one of the charter
members of the club and was its first
secretary. He lived in Kansas City
Kan, but went east.
During the evening John H. Crider, of
Fort Scott, proposed the following, and
it was adopted by common consent:
Resolved. That the president of this
club be directed to wire Mrs. Mckinley
assuring her that all members of the
Kansas Day club, assembled at Topeka,
and wearing his favOrite flower, keep
fresh and green in their hearts the
memory of her distinguished husband,
whose career is and ever will be an
inspiration of loyalty to every Ameri-
can citizen"
President Murdock announced the Sc
lection of officers of the club for the
/ coming year as follows:
President, D. a. Valentine of Clay
Center.
Secretary-Treasurer, Luther Nellis of
Topeka.
Vice president by congressional dis
tricts:
First-w. D. Ross of Oskaloosa.
Second-James Stewart of Wyan-
dotte.
Third-C. D. Shukert of Sedan.
Fourth-W. S Kretsinger of EN-
Dor5a-
F'ifth-Walter Reid of Concordia.
Sixth-J z. Marshall of Lincoln
Seventh-H. F. Cornwen of st. John.
Luther Nellis was reelected secre-
tary-treasurer over his protest. To
Linn is largely due the credit for the
success of this years banquet, and the
members thought he was too good an
officer for a 'tone-termer." The selec-
tion of vice president for each con-
eress.onaI district is an innovation.
The chief duty of the vice presidents
is tc have their names printed in the
list of officers.
In taking the vote of the banqueters
President Murdock said:
"An who are in favor of this slate
will keep seated. Those opposed will
rise

Governor Willis ]. Bailey this after
noon announced that he will not be
candidate for denomination before the
Republican state convention which Will
meet at Wichita on March 9.
This means that e. W. Hoch of Ma
rion wiz receive the gubernatorial nom
ination by acclamation.
Governor Bailey's announcement
comes as the result of the bitter fight
now waging in the Republican party
of Kansas. He could undoubtedly
make a strong fight against those who
are opposing him, but he fears that it
would mean the defeat of the party at
the polls in November, and rather than
sacrifice his party he is willing to sacri-
flee his own political ambitions He
therefore releases those counties which
have been instructed for him and his
many friends who are ready to stand
by him to the last in order to allow
them to make new alignments and
look after other interests with which
his personal candidacy would inter
fera.
This fight is the elimination of
contest which has been waging within
the ranks of the Republican party IN
Kansas for ten years. Cyrus Leland,
who has for years been a close personal
friend of Governor Bailey has been the
target at which many Republican poll
ticians have been shooting for years
He has at times met with temporary
defeat but he has a long list of vic
tories to his credit. One of the great
est of these was the nomination of
Governor Bailey at Wichita two years
ago, in which Leland was recognized
as a strong factor. Before that was
the appointment of Judge Hook to the
federal bench, which was largely a
personal victory for Leland Since the
Wichita convention was the senatorial
election which placed Chester I. Long
in the United States senate, and more
recently the contest over federal Judge
which resulted in the appointment of
Judge Pollock. in both of which Mr.
Leland was recognized as a strong
factor on the winning side. In the or
ganization of the legislature a year ago
and in many of the measures which
came before that body. Mr.. Leland was
successful, and each of these things
lined up somebody against him.
Associated with Mr.. Leland was Nor

YACHTS AND BOATS.

Capt. T. D. Barr has sent down the Flo
cruising.
The steam launch Idalette was in Dyer's
dock last week to receive new shaft and
minor repairs.
The yawl Tarpon, owned by Mr.. Biddle, a
summer resident at Ryder's Cove, arrived
at this port last week to be hauled out at
Macomber's.
The sloop yacht Yvette, bought last spring
in New York by the Pendletons and used
the past season at Islesboro, is in winter
quarters at the lower bridge. She is II
tons net, A feet, 8 inches over all, feet, 8
inches beam, feet, 2 inches deep, and was
built at New Rochelle, n. Y, in 1898 She
has lofty rig and the lines of racer.
The schooner yacht Brentwood, owned by
Fritz Jordan Of Portland, struck on Inner
Bay Lodges, a few miles to the northward of
sank soon after. The yacht was valued at
about $1,000 and is insured for 5000. 1t is
thought she will be total loss. The Brent
wood is large schooner yacht, s. feet over
all, and was to be hauled up at Northeast
Harbor for the winter.
One of the largest steam yachts that has
been in the harbOr this summer is the big,
black May of Philadelphia, lying off the
end of Custom House wharf. The May is
famous from the fact that she was designed
by G. L. Watson, the noted Glasgow, Scot
land, designer, who made several of the
cup defenders, including Sir Thomas Lip
tons Valkyries. The May was built at
Glasgow in 1901 and is, therefore, new
craft. Her builders were the Rowens.
The yacht is owned by A. Van Rensselaer,
OF Philadelphia. She is bound to New
York after cruise along the Maine coast
to the eastward-Portland Express.
The May has made Gilkey's Harbor her
/ home port this season and was at this port
the week of the Waldo county fair.

The constitutional amendment pro-
vIding for an increase in the compensa-
ton OF our legislators was defeated, as
every one supposed it would be, al
though there is much to be said in favor
of its adoption. As the Boston Herald
points out the compensation of the
Maine legislators is the smallest lump
sum paid by any State i'll the union.
New Hampshire comes pretty close to
matching it with $500 salaries, while
Connecticut pays $500. Other States
are more generous in this respect.
Massachusetts pays her legislators
$50 for the session, New York and
Pennsylvania pay $500, Illinois 81 900
and Ohio 5000. Five other States paw
all the way from 5000 to $3.50 for the
session. All the other States pay their
legislators a per diem of from SO to IS,
which is generally made to figure up to
about the average of the lump sum pay
ments in other States, the average
length Of the legislative sessions in
these States being about sixty days.

1t is evident from these figures, says
the Bath Times, that only thrice since
the eve of the Civil War has the bemo-
cratic vote in Maine been as small as it
was this year; in 1864, when Democracy
in the North was at its lowest ebb, and
in 1896 and 1900 when the East had been
alienated by the free silver craze. The
normal Democratic vote in Maine is
several thousand more than the vote
last Monday. On the other hand, the
rs, 400 votes cast for Hon. William T.
Cobb constituted the largest Republi-
can vote in Maine in the party history
with only two exceptions. Edwin c.
Burleigh received 79,401 votes in 1888
and Powers had 81, 1896 in 1896. Cobb's
$4,000 votes are more than 10000 above
