In Shawnee County.

1t is also interesting to note the kind
of a race made by Messrs. Kelly, Bur-
row, Coleman, Dayhon and walker IN
the home of the State Journal, Shaw
nee county. These men are all more or
less known here personally Kelly has
lived here for six years and the others
have been holding office in Topeka FOR
two years.
Journal was the only Topeka news
paper that opposed these candidates.
The other papers all strenuously de-
Tended and upheld these candidates
Little was said about any others Here
is the result:
Justice Smith received a plurality of
1922 and Congressman Scott 3,S2S- The
normal Republican plurality was
therefore about $500. Roosevelt ran
more than 1000 ahead of this figure,
receiving 5,968 plurality. incidentally
it might be stated that President
Roosevelt was just as warmly support
ed by the State journal as Kelly was
opposed.
Walkers plurality was 2,416. or about
500 less than the normal republican
plurality, and more than $500 under
RooseVelt'S.
Burrows plurality was 1878, or near
ly 1000 less than the normal Republic
tcan plurality, and about 1000 less than
Roosevelt's-
Dayhoff's was 1902, each about $500
less than the normal Republican plur-
atty, and nearly 400 below Roosevelt.
Kelly's plurality was only 1852, about
$500 less than the normal plurality
and $500 less than Roosevelt's.
This is the way these candidates ran
where the State Journal is best known
in comparison with other Topeka pa
pers, and where they have been hold
ing office for from two to six years.
The following figures show by COM
parison how the principal candidates
on the Republican ticket ran in Shaw

SHIP SUBSIDY AGAIN..
he Pe..sylva.i. Republican. .,a
the Merchant Marine.

vAe PeAAsylvonia Republicans ana
the Merchant Marine.
The Republicans of PENNSYLVANIA NJ
their late state convention deplored the
condition Of American shipping and
'the fact that nine out of every ten
ships which brought our imports and
bore away our exports last year were
foreign vessels. built abroad, officered
and manned abroad, a part of the DO.
tential naval reserve Of foreign gov
ernments." This depressing fact SEEM
cd to have weighed upon the mind
OF Senator Quay. who dominated the
convention and who wrote or was re-
sponsible for the platform, for the
platform continues that it favored
the building of an American mer-
chant marine. that American built
ships and American seamen may have
the carrying Of ut least fair proper
ton Of American passengers and
freightage." This apparently patriotic
utterance did not evidently tighten the
gloomy feelings of Senator Quay, nor
even one Of the hundreds of his satel-
lttes that attended the convention. No
suggestion was made of any hope Of
way to improve this desperate con-
dition. The convention wishes to leave
it to the voters to discover the rem
edy. But this lack of foresight or
statement Of what would quickly re-
lteve the American ship trust mag
mates from the slough of despond
was we'll known to Senator Quay.
Only a short time before the platform
was concocted he had promised Girls
com and Cassatt respectively the ship
trust and railroad magnate. that such
plank would be included, so that
when the ship subsidy bill was receiv
ed in congress all the Pennsylvania
delegation could justify their votes for
subsidy. The prospect Of good large
subsidy always cheers the dropping
spirits Of Pennsylvania Republican.
but it does not always do to publicly
resolve for it, SO Quay left the voters

over the decline of the American ma
rine.
Quay and the trust magnates know
there is millions in it If the subsidy
bill can only be passed, but the people
are rather ticklish on subsidies. They
know they will have to pay the big bill
and are not so enthusiastic for the old
nag and an appropriation as Quay and
the ship trust magnates are. In some
other states the same tactics will be
used to bolster up the discredited ship
subsidy, and If President Roosevelt
does not carefully watch the incuba-
ton of the national platform by Sena-
tor Lodge he will be committed to the
scheme, as the Pennsylvania delega-
ton are.
Only eternal vigilance will prevent
the subsidy hunters from loading the
taxpayers with this enormous expend-
iture for a long term Of years, and
their persistence would have been re-
warded ere this if the Democrats had
not been on guard against it.

how near President R0Osevelt's cabi-

the moment they are severed from
their official duties. 1t would hardly
be expected for the ordinary man to
believe they were not insensible to
trust and corporation influences while
still officially employed and paid by the
people to look after their interests.

THE PAPER TRUST.

The Newspaper Publishers Call For
Its Overthrow.
The International Paper company,
commonly called the paper trust, is
very indignant at the newspaper pub
fishers who lately appeared before the
judiciary committee Of the national
house Of representatives and gave evi-
dence that the paper company was a
trust and combination in restraint
of trade. The company through its Of
ficers presented an affidavit signed by
them denying practically all the ale
cations made by the newspaper repre-
sentatives. Representative Lilley of
Connecticut, who introduced the reso-
luton on which this investigation is
being held, declared that unless the
committee favorably reports his reso-
luton, as he is confident they will do,
he will himself lay the testimony in
the case before the attorney general
with a view to action under the Sher-
man law"
Az there are on file in the office of
the attorney general Of the United
States a number Of cases with evi-
dence against trusts, such as the coal
trust. the tobacco trust and others, up
ON which no action has been taken. 1t
would seem to be waste Of time and
energy for more cases to be presented.
The attorney general onlya week OF
two ago gave out the Information that
he was not going to run amuck
against the trusts" and, it IL said,
President Roosevelt authorized this
statement. The evidence accumulates
that the administration has completed

ment. The Republican machine in
Massachusetts and the other states,
notably in Iowa, are fighting tooth and
nail to prevent the spread Of reciproci-
ty sentiment and to defeat Mr.. Foss
in Massachusetts, Governor Cummins
in Iowa and Governor La Toilette in
Wisconsin.
In Iowa the protectionist ring is
making an especially bitter fight against
Governor Cummins, and the Protective
Tariff league, through it's organ, the
Economist, says Of him:
"Cummins and his followers have
shown themselves to be the enemies of
true Republicanism. They have inau-
gurated a policy Of rule or ruin, and
they should be compelled to take the
consequences. Over and over again,
with brazen effrontery and degree of
zeal worthy OF better cause, he-Gov-
ernor Cummins-has attempted to force
upon the Republican party in his own
state and in the nation as well doc
trines and policies that are in opposi-
ton to settled Republican principles"
When it is remembered that Govern
or Cummins demanded that the tariff
that shelters the trusts must be re.
formed it explains the vituperation of
the Economist, whose life depends up
on contributions from the trusts.
This factional fight in the Republican
ranks can be viewed with equanimity,
IL not delight by Democrats, for it may
result in many Republicans voting for
the Democratic candidates when they
see their demands spurned by the Re-
publican ringleaders. There is no
more hope for these Republican re-
formers now than in the past, though
they are more numerous and insistent
than heretofore. The only hope Of
tariff reformers is with the Democrats,
who favor all and any reforms that
will lessen the burden upon the tax
payers and tighten the trust load of
high prices which the people now have
to bear.
