him Judge H. L. Buck spoke !
Mr.. Johnson was the last speaker
His reception was most enthusiastic,

Labor in every sphere is the real

THE Mercer.

Two years ago the one important
issue in that campaign was that of the
so-called merger of the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern railways.
The people of the state spoke in no un-
certain sound in tho election which
followed, and Endorsed the present ex-
ecutive and his official action with a
majority unparalleled In the history
Of the state. The party which gave
him such a phenomenal majority two
years ago has as it's candidate to sue
coed him, one who IN every interview
and utterance by him has taken his
stand In opposition to the policy of
the present state administration and
in accord with those who sought to ef-
feet and did effect combination of
these two vast railway systems. The
platform on which he. stands was
adopted before the convention was
organized and those instrumental in
his nomination evade the issue with
the declaration that the party really

The exercise of discretionary
power and thus setting at naught the
laws OF the land can only result in
government that is contrary to the
best interests of the state. It is al
legged that by the exercise of this dis
cretionary power great gain has come
to private individuals and corporations
and great loss to the educational insti-
tutions of the state The state has
safeguarded its interests by laws for
the proper regulation and control Of
the public business and no man has q
right to set aside that law and safe
guard. I do not make the charge Of
personal interests or dishonesty on the
part Of my opponent, but the charge Of
usurpatior of authority which did not
belong to him is graver than the other.
And the same course followed in the
CONDUCT Of: the greater Office to which
he &aspiresi would endanger the law,

were the property Of the people and
/ to protect this property proper laws
were enacted. One provision of these
laws absolutely prohibited the state
auditor from making any settlement
for trespass at any amount less than
double the value of the timber taken.
The law gave no discretion beyond
that limitation. For violation and
total disregard Of the law It, is INSULT
cient to say II would do the same
thing again." neither is it sufficient to
state that his record was better than
that of his predecessors The execu-
tive arm Of the government is not
greater than the legislative. They are

Rowett as state accountant he did so
on the strength of recommendation
from some large banking institutions.
J. D. Buckingham, who is assisting Mr..
Rowett, was brought to Topeka by
Mr.. E. P. Moxey. who is recognized
as the leading expert accountant in
America. Governor Bailey tried to Sc
cure Mr.. Moxey's personal services for
the investigation of the state treasury,
but Mr.. Moxey was engaged elsewhere
and he brought Mr.. Buckingham to do
the work. Mr.. Buckingham is mem
Der of the Moxey firm, which is sui
ficient recommendation as to his ablll-
ty and fidelity as an accountant. Mr..
Moxey further stated that he would
guarantee the correctness of any re-
port Mr.. Buckingham would sign.
Charles Rowett-he pronounceS his
name with the long sound of CO. as
though it were divided 'Ro-wett-is
an Englishman, a native of Liverpool.
His father was commodore captain
with what is now the White Star line
of Transatlantic steamships. Mr.. Ro-
welt was educated in the different
schools of Liverpool, finally graduating
with honors in mathematics from
Liverpool college. where Gladstone re-
ceived part of his education. While in
college Mr.. Rowett was a fellow stu
dent with Hall Game, the author, and
the two were companions in their lit
erary societies.
In business Mr.. Rowett served his
apprenticeship IN the accounting Oe-
partment of a large firm of German
merchants. and was afterwards. for ten
years manager for Gabriel sNacouz' q
Co, one of the largest firms of Egyp-
tan merchants and private bankers.
During this time he mastered the
Arabic language SO that he could make
an important investigation in the ac-
counts of the Alexandria and Cairo Of
fees of the company. For this work
he was highly complimented by the
late lord chief justice of England, Sir
Charles Russell.
This and the fact that Mr.. Rowett
has successfully passed high in the
English government examinations and
also those OF the society of arts and
sciences in accounts and commercial
law. indicates his standing in England
as an accountant
In December, 1891, Mr.. Rowett came
to New York in the interest of one of
the largest provision firms of London,
Bristol and Liverpool to examine the
books of their New York house. The
same firm afterwards sent him west
to Kansas City on important financial
business with the packing houses.
OF course Mr.. Rowett liked the west
and he decided to make it his home.
and he began business there on his own
account as an expert accountant and
auditor In the examination of ac-
counts he has done some very intricate
and delicate work, both in England and
America. He has had practical expert
ence in nearly all lines of business,
chiefly municipal and general indus
tries In 1898 he was entrusted by the

EPIsCoPALIANs CLOSE.
Next Convention Will Be Held at Rich
nfond, Va, in 1907.

Boston, Oct. 26.-The triennial gen
eral conference of the Episcopal
church which has been in session here
since October ended with a public
service in Trinity church.
From the pulpit Bishop Potter, OF
New York, read a pastoral letter ad-
dressed to the church at large. The
communication, which consisted of
more than 5000 words, considered the
problems now before the country. Re
garding divorce the pastoral said the
facility with which the marriage rela-
ton may be taken on and put off is
one of the menaces of American civili-
zation, to the possible perils of which
the Christian people are as yet very
imperfectly aroused. The letter made
a plea for the permanency and secu-
rity of the family. 1t also discussed
the negro problem, stating that the
church was taking steps to correct the
situation so far as possible. Other
pressing questions were dealt with.
The next convention will be held at
Richmond, Va, in 1907.
