Federation of Commercial Interests
Resent His Attack.

ST see Mr.. Hoch says the Fedora
ton of Commercial Interests is all
made up of Democrats" said Chair
man sapp of the Democratic state
fattering to the Democrats. AS
matter of fact never saw the secre-
tary of the federation. Mr.. Hoch
seems to be mad at the federation
about something. It strikes me that
1t is rather peculiar that the business
men of the state cannot work for fair
and equitable freight rates without
arousing the luminosity of Republican
candidates. / don't know anything
about the federation personally. but
am glad to see them classed with the
Democratic party.
H. L. Reising, secretary of the fed
Grafton, does not like Mr.. Hoch'S at
tack on the federation.
81 have been a Republican for thir-
ty-five years" he said, land l don't
like to be classed as a Democrat now.
up of Republicans. We will support
the two Democratic candidates for rail-
road commissioners because the DEM
ocrats nominated them at our request,
son on the Republican ticket. We
worked a great deal harder to get the
Republicans to nominate the kind of
men the business interests wanted than
we did the Democrats. We had $50
business men at Wichita for two days
during the Republican convention
men who represent big interests.
I'VE propose to have talk with Mr..
Hoch about this matter, because we
think he is misinformed. George H.
Hunter OF Wellington, candidate for
presidential elector on the Republican
ticket, and also one of the leading
members of the fedora ton, has been
designated to see Mr.. Hoch and ar
range a meeting between him and our
committee. We will have a committee
of thirty or more men who represent
big interests wait on Mr.. Hoch He is
a busy man and don't know just how

over with him. After We make sure
he understands it. if he still attacks

FAILED TO ARRIVE.
Followers of Football in Topeka Were
Disappointed Today.


For some unknown reason, the Kan
sas City Medic football team failed to
come today, and the game scheduled
for Washburn park this afternoon will
not be played.
The Medics were expected on the
1890 Santa Fe train this morning but
they did not arrive on that, nor on
either of the other trains which reach
ed here prior to 1880 this afternoon.
There is said to have been some sort
of a misunderstanding about transpor-
tation. It is said that the Medics were
expecting to have transportation sent
to them, and that Washburn did not
understand that it was to send trans
portation.
Another report is that the Medic
team was unable to get together SUI
f1ciently strong aggregation to make
creditable showing and therefore de-
cided not to come. The manager OF
the Medic team was very anxious that
his team should make good showing
in this first game.
It is greatly to be regretted that the
game was called off, as the weather Is
favorable, and large crowd would no
doubt have attended the contest
Arrangements are being made for a
practice game between the Washburn
