HOCH's STATEMENT.
Says That His Victory Brings Grave
Responsibilities.

E. w. Hoch, governor-elect, has is
sued a formal statement. in which he
says he realizes the grave responsible
tiles resting upon the Republican par
ty in Kansas. and that there shall be
a searching investigation of every de-
partment of the state government.
His statement is as follows:
THE Republican party of Kansas
was won a great victory, the greatest
in it's history. This victory has been
won upon a high plane of politics
Not a letter has been written nor a
piece of literature circulated that we
would be ashamed to see printed in
the public press. No contribution has
been received or used during this cam
paign from any source whatever that
carried with it any condition or OBJ
legation or understanding of any ma
ture whatsoever Not a promise OF an
office has been made to anyone.
1.-The victory is a clean one in ev-
cry particular, and its overwhelming e
character is especially gratifying in
view of these facts, but this victory
brings grave and. great responsible
ties. In a good old book is laid down
the eternal principle that much shall
be required of those to whom much is
given. The Republican party of Kan
sas must now measure up to its great
opportunity and grave responsibilities.
It's platform promises must all be full
filled because a platform promise is
as sacred as a business contract.
Personally, I desire to reaf1irm the
promise frequently made during this
campaign that there shall be a thor
ough and searching investigation of
every department of the business af-
fairs of the state and the absolute un-
vanished condition given to the pub
lie without fear or favor imm ediateIy
upon my inauguration as governor of
Kansas.
"I am profoundly grateful to the
people of Kansas for their expression
of confidence as shown by yesterdays

ORGANIZE WALKING CLUB.
Cross Country Tramp Proposed by
College Young Women.

Wellesley Mass, Nov. 10.-Girls of
Wellesley college, who do not look up
golfing, rowing, shot putting and
basket ball as womanly pastimes, have
organized a walking club, to be known
club,
1t was Miss Ida Parker, 1906, who,
at a class meeting last week, called
Miss Lucille Hills attention to the
fact that there are girls at Wellesley
who rarely take exercise because they
diSdain boisterouS athletics. Miss
Hill, who is physical director of the
college, stated that it was not her
aim to make athletics a specially for
a few, but to induce all the girls to
take regular exercise in some form.
At Miss Parker's suggestion, a walk
ing club was formed. Miss Alice
Walmsley, 1906, was elected president
and Miss Amelia st. John, 1907, Sec
retary.
The registering of the members has
closed. This walking club is the most
exclusive in Wellesley. No freshmen
are allowed to join and there are but 40
charter members. Later more will be
admitted.
The only rules of the organization are
that each member must walk at least
three hours each week, and each walk
must last an hour. Each member must
keep a journal of what she has seen
and turn it in to the secretary.
In this way the Cross Country club
expects to become a sort of information
bureau of the geography of the sur
rounding country ana pf places where
botanical and geological specimens can
be found.
OF the club and its purposes Miss
Walmsley said:
THE minimum length of time for
walking each week is three hours, but
every girl is expected to do more. We
will take long tramps into the country
and then come back on the street cars
if we have gone too far Each girl will
keep journal and describe her trip.
Wellesley is gradually taking her
place with the foremost colleges in ath-
letics, and Miss Hill hopes this walk
ing club will be the means of inducing
the quiet girls to try more vigorous ex-
ercise.
Later we are going in for hill climb
ing and snowshoeing, and each girl will
be furnished with pedometer and try
to outdo the others in distance"
Among the enthusiastic members of
the club are the Misses Florence Besse,
Ida Parker, Grace Herrick and lone
Morrison.

100000 FOR DEBS.
That Is the Estimate of His Cam
paign Managers.

New York, Nov. 1O.-William Mall
ly, national secretary of the Socialist
party, wires to a local newspaper that
incomplete returns justify an estimate
of 100000 votes cast for Debs and
Hanford Tuesday.
He says Illinois leads with $4,000
votes, of which $4,000 were cast in
Chicago.
Mr. Mailly's statement continues:
Two asSemblymen were elected in
Illinois and the Socialist Labor party
there loses official standing. Milwau-
kee gives $4,000 for Debs; five assem-
blymen and one senator were elected
in Wisconsin. Berger and Gaylord in
creased their vote two thousand in
congressional districts, running ahead
of the Democrats
Estimates of the vote in Wiscon-
sim California Minnesota, Indiana,

Cottonwood Falls Woman at Head of
Equal Suffrage Association.

At this mornings meeting of the
Kansas Equal Suffrage association, the

this and take up the subject of full

The election of officers for the ensu-
ing year followed the discussion and
the results were as follows:
Mrs. Sadie B. Grisham of cottonwood

IN DOUBT.
ROOseVelt's Plurality in Mary
land Down to 126.
Official Count May Divide the
Electoral Vote.
PLURALITY GROWING.
On President 1t Is Expected to
Reach 100000.
He Has a Lead of l3, ,l9S Votes
In Missouri.

New York. Nov. 10.-After-election
interest was today suddenly centered
upon Maryland by the announcement
that that state yesterday conceded to
the Republicans is now in doubt.
Late returns have reduced Roosevelt's s
plurality to the narrow figure of 1876,
and it will take the official count to
determine whether Maryland will be
placed in the Republican or Demo-
cratic column. There is also possi-
bility that the states electoral vote
will be divided. Beyond the situation
in Maryland and the fact it is now
admitted that Roosevelt carried Mis-
souri,, in which state the legislature is
also Republican, today's election news
is devoid of feature. Returns show
steadily increasing Republican plural
tiles, and it now seems probable that
Roosevelt's plurality in the popular
vote will be in round numbers 2,0OO,-
900.
In Colorado both parties are claim
ing success on the state ticket.

FIRST TIME IN SO YEARS.
Democrats Have Lost Control of Mis-
souri, Legislature.

st. Louis, Nov. 10.-UnofficiaI re-
turns from S5 out of ia counties in
Missouri give Roosevelt a plurality of
10,495 over Parker, and Folk (Dem) }
for governor a plurality of S6,813 over
Walbridge (Rep.) According to DEM
ocratic authority the other counties
yet to report will show a gain for Folk
and a probable loss for Roosevelt.
There is nothing in the returns re-
ceived thus far today to indicate any
change in the statement made last
night that Aissouri's congressional
delegation will stand eight Democrats
and eight Republicans, a gain of seven
for the latter. This much is conceded
by the Democratic leaders. A Repub-
lican majority on joint ballot in the
general assembly is conceded by the
Democrats, who have lost control of
the legislative body for the first time in
Sc years. This will insure the election
of a Republican successor to United
States Senator Cockrell. 1t is claimed
that the Sixteenth district is in doubt
and may go Republican.

Colorado Conceded to Adams.

Denver, Col, Nov 10.-Republican
Chairman Farley today conceded the
defeat of Governor Peabody.
The Post which supported Governor
Peabody, says this morning:
1.-The latest returns from all over the
state today indicate that Peabody will
come to Denver with a plurality of be-
tween 1000 and $500. With Adams
plurality here of between 5000 and 5000,
Adams will be made governor by a
plurality of between 5000 and 1000.

froth congressman-at-large and a ma

WISH STOESSEL
TO CAPITULATE.
Japanese Officials Are Fearful
of the Consequences
If Port Arthur Is Ever Taken
by Storm.
SOLDIERS ARE ANGRY.
On Account of Alleged Abuse
of Their Wounded.
1t May Be Impossible to Prevent
a Massacre.
SOLDIERS ARE ANGRY.

Toxic, Nov. 1O.-It is reported that
Gen. StoesseI, commanding Port Ar
thur. has asked the japanese for an
armistice, the purpose of which is not
stated. A confirmation of the report
is not obtainable- 1t is hoped here
that Gen. StoesseI will capitulate be-
fore the city proper is taken. The
Japanese soldiers are angry and in
famed on account of the alleged abuse
of their wounded by the Russians.
They believe they will be murdered if
captured. Under these conditions it
will probably be difficult to avoid a
massacre when the troops meet in
the final combat.
Itz Mountain Is Costly.
Chefoo, Nov. 1O.-Itz mountain, ac-
rived here today from Port Arthur, is
proving a costly obstacle to the Jap
anese. On the mornings of Nov. 3
and fierce assaults on the position
were made by the Japanese, who were
repulsed- During the second assault
shell, soaring over the other hills
from Palichuang, dropped on Itz
mountain and demolished a land mine
controlling the station, and exploded
other mines.
The Russians were holding the
trenches on the boundary of the mine
In the section Six or seven hundred
not reached the place, were unhurt.
Itz mountain owes the best part of
Its strength to the peculiar topogra-
ply of the surrounding country,
which prevents a direct artillery fire
and does not enable the Japanese to
advance trenches with the success ev-
ident elsewhere.
The japanese advanced on it in
both instances from distant hills with
the fullest force the ground would al
low. but in the long distances which
they were compelled to traverse in the
face of machine guns their ranks were
melted. Both times the Japanese
broke the wire entanglements in plac-
80. One soldier with a leg torn off
was seen trying to bite the wires.

Mickey Appears to Have Won.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 10-Enough re-
turns have come in to leave little doubt
that Governor Mickey is reelected by
from 5000 to 1000 plurality. The fu-
sionists have not formally conceded
Mickey's reelection but several leaders
today said there did not appear to be
much doubt left that Berge was beaten.
Complete returns from about 80 coun-
ties are available, which show a net
gain for Mickey of nearly Il 1,500. This
warrants a conservative estimate of
800 plurality for the governor, who
ran considerably behind the rest of the
state ticket. Pluralities on the rest of
the ticket are expected to reach about
Ii 600

MAY BE MIXED.
Maryland Is So Close That Official
Count Is Necessary.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 1O.-Upon the face
of unofficial returns Roosevelt has car
ried Maryland by a plurality of 126. The
actual result will not be known until the
official count :''s been made The count
begins in the counties and in Baltimore at
noon today anJ may be completed during
the night, but the supervisors are not linn
tied S to time in declaring the result,
and it may be some days before the off
cial reports in all the counties are given
out. Both che Republican and Democratic
chairmen are claiming the state.
Another situation resulting from the
cIoseness of the vote in Maryland is the
probability of mixed electoral vote from
the state and the 1e!initS facts in this
respect will not he known until the Off
cial count has been made.
