SUIT AGAINST KELLY.
Governor Bailey Begins Action in
Supreme Court.

n. H. Loomis and Judge Frank
Doster, representing Governor Bailey,
today filed in the supreme court the
mandamus suit to compel State Treas
urer Kelly to cOuntersign and register
the warrant issued by the state
auditors Office in payment of the
for the maintenance of the executive
residence during September and Oc-
tober.
The court will also be asked to hear
the case at an early date in order that
it may be decided before the end of
the year and before Governor Bailey's
term of office expires.
Judge Doster also files the custo-
mary affidavit showing why the suit
is begun in the supreme court instead
of in a lower court. He assigns the
following reasons:
First: The action is brought by the
Kansas for the determination of a
question connected with his official
position as governor, and final de-
cision of the question involved should
be had before the. expiration of his
term of office, which occurs on the 9th
of January, 1905.
Second: Because the appropriation
out of which the warrant in contro-
the 1st day of January, 1905, and a
final decision upon the merits of the
cause should be had before that date.
Third: Because the question at is
sue involves the integrity of the chief
executive of the state, and a prompt
decision is important as a matter of
public policy"
Assistant State Auditor Nation says
that Governor Bailey was ANXIOUS to
have the matter passed upon by the
courts and suggested that his warrant
be held UP in the auditors office Mr.
Nation said that he did not feel war
ranted in doing SO, however, in view
of the opinion of the attorney general
that the governors vouchers were cor
rect.

disclosing any figures until after the
polls close. This plan adds somewhat t
to the expense of the election, because
it necessitates a second set of judges
and clerks in each precinct.
The other plan of reforming both the
casting and counting of ballots is the
adoption of voting machines Kansas
now has a law which allows the use of
voting machines where they are de-
sired, but they have never yet been
used in this state.
The great objection to voting ma
chimes is the expense of installing them.
1t is urged, however, that it would be
a. saving in the long run to adopt ma
chimes. 1t cost the average county in
eastern Kansas this year about 81, 800
to conduct the election. With machines
this expense would b.. about cut in two.
1t is urged that this saving would pay
the interest on the investment in voting
machines and pay for the machines
themselves in few years, besides prov
ing much more satisfactory than the
present system. With voting machines,
too, there could be no contests, except
over challenged voters, and there could
be no recount of ballots.

The storm windows on the windows

Purdue'S candidacy may break into a
combination which is said to have been
fixed up in the Sixth district some time
ago-a combination whereby Charles z.
Hall of Russell was to succeed J. r.

Burrow was to go after Congressman
Reeder's place. Burrow is from the
Rock Island counties of the Sixth dis
trict while Hall is from the Union
Pacific counties" 1t is alleged that the
combination was that Hall should throw
his influence to Burrow for congress-
man while Burrow was to throw his in
f1uence to Hall for secretary of state.
AS Purdue is a close friend of Congress-
man Reeder they may have a combina-
with the Burrow-Hal combinat ton. Hall
is the newly-eIected representative from
Russell county. He was elected by just
six votes over Frank Rockefeller. Pur-
due is said to be the better politician of
the two.

representative from Mitchell county
for the third time and for whom a
boom for speaker was launched a day
