HANNA FOR ROOSEVELT.
Platt Says Ohioan will Not
Permit Use of His Name.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Platt,
who has returned from Aiken, S. G.,
where he has been for two weeks, ap-
peared in public and talked presiden-
tial politics. He had a conference on
the floor of the senate with Senator
Hanna The conference was so earn
est and lasted so long that it attracted
much attention. Senator Hanna talk
ed with great vigor making many gem
lures, and now and then Senator Platt
head in disapproval.
When Senator Platt separated from
Senator Hanna he went to his com
mittee room, and there he was asked
to discuss the somewhat confusing sit
uation in the Republican party in the
state of New York.
Are the stories true that the New
York state convention is likely not to
pass instructions for the presidents"
who says we are not going to in
struct?" asked Senator Platt.
Such a story is very generally in cir
culation at the capitol. 1t is believed
by many members of congress outside
the state"
We'll" replied Senator Platt, Il can
not say whether we will instruct or
not. If there is any necessity for in
structions they will be passed. [ ex-
pect that story is circulated by Dem
ocrats.'
lis it not generally understood that a
large number of Republicans in New
York desire the nomination of Senator
Hanna, and is it not the fact that there
is pressure to prevent instructions for
the PRESIDENT"
Il will answer that by saying that
Senator Hanna is not a candidate for
the presidency. 1 have just had long
talk with him. He will not allow the
use of his name. In addition to that,
he is for the nomination of President
Roosevelt There need be no doubt on
that score.

An accidental killing by the electric

personal reasons.

THE JACKSON PRIMARIES.

The Republican primary contest at
Holton and in Jackson county generally
tomorrow is of more than local inter-
est. The outcome VII be interesting to
the entire state. Putting aside the mat
ter of congressman, and even of gov
ernor, Kansas is vitality concerned in
whether A. D. Walker, the present rail-
road commissioner, or W. A. Thompson.
a candidate for the nomination, shall
win in the primaries.
The railroads are for Mr. Walker,
whose conduct during the years which
he has served on the board since the
new railway law was enacted has GER
tainly met with entire approval-from
the railroad companies.
But what has Mr.. Walker ever done
for the patrons of the railroads; for
the shippers and receivers of freight
involving the milling, manufacturing,
farming, stock-growing and nearly all
the other productive interests of KAN
Sas9
Why should the railroads agree to a
freight rate which enabled Topeka to
become one of the great milling CEN
ters years ago and then recently aboI-
is hthe rate and check the progress of
the milling business in this town of To-
peka, in this state which is the great
est wheat growing state in the union?
The state is said to have a good rail-
road law, but when the commissioners
are selected when they permit the rail-
roads to continue to maintain unjust
freight rates in Kansas what reform
may be expected.
Unjust freight rates stare every Kan
sas man in the face. Why should To-
peka pay $1.40 per ton for hauling coal
from the southeastern fields, when
Kansas City, the same distance away
pays only so cents?
Why should Lincoln, Nebraska, pay
Is cents per ton for hauling anthra-
cite coal from Omaha, when Topeka
must pay s100 per ton for hauling the
same coal from the Missouri river, which
is the same distance from Topeka that
| it is from Lincoln?

but the contest will be continued. Mr.

ing, who is not being supported by the

ing vote, POI to 68. its opponents being
unable to secure roll call on the bill.

ucts which belong to interstate or for
eign commerce.

authority to employ such chemists IN
spectors, clerks and laborers as may
be necessary for the enforcement of the
act.
OIe section OF the Dill provides penal
ties for the introduction of adultered
or misbranded foods or drugs and an
other section requires the secretary of
agriculture to prescribe rules and reg
ulations to govern the director of the
bureau of chemistry and food in artic-
les required to be inspected under the
law.
