NOT ON STATE TICKET.
Republican County Nominees VIII Be
Placed Where They Belong.

The Republican candidates in Shaw
nee county, whose names might ap-
pear on the state ticket on the official
general ballot at the election Novem-
Der 9Th, do not wish their names in
such positions and will have them in
stead on the county ballot where they
belong.
The candidates whose names might
be placed on the state ticket are:
For judge of the Third judicial dis
trict, A. w. Dana.
For senator of the Seventeenth sem
atorial district ]. B. Belts.
For representative Thirty-fifth rep
resentative district, Robert Stone.
For representative Thirty-sixth rep
resentative district, John Howerton.
For representative Thirty-seventh
representative district, w. A. S. Bird.
In the list of the party nominees for
the national and state tickets certified
to the county clerk by the secretary
of state the spaces for the nomination
for judge, senator and three repre-
Sentatives were left vacant and there
fore was within the jurisdiction of the
county clerk to decide whether the
names of the four candidates should
be placed on the state or the county
ticket.
In many judicial, senatorial and
representative districts in the state
several counties make up the dis
tricts. In such cases the county clerks
of the various counties making up the
state the nominations of each party
for senator, judge and representative.
The secretary of state then places
them on the state ticket on the gen.
eraI ballot.
In Shawnee county, and a few other
counties, the judicial, senatorial and
all representative districts are within
the borders of the county, and no
other counties are interested. When
In such cases the nominations are GER
titled to the county clerk they are not
certified to the secretary of state, and
the custom heretofore has been for
these nominations to appear on the
county ticket.
Some question arose as to whether
the nominations for judge, senator and
representatives should be placed on
the state or the county ticket. Dana
and Bird requested a ruling from the
attorney generals office Friday. The
attorney generals office held that the
nominations could properly be placed
on the county ticket. The nominations
for judge, senator and three represen-
tatives will be on the Shawnee county
ticket.
The election law provides: "a clear
space of one-half an inch shall be left
between the circle and the device or
emblem above it. Below the circle
the party name of the ticket shall be
printed, in plea capital letters, which
shall be followed by the respective
lists of candidates, arranged in such
order as the officer charged with the
preparation of the ballots shall de-
eide

TOPEKA MAN GETS PATENT.
William w. Roblyer Has a Move
Change Maker.

William w. Roblyer, of 406 East
Eighth avenue, has invented ma
chine which he calls a change maker.
1t is a device for use by street car
conductors so as to stop knocking
down" fares. The instrument is so ar
ranged that the insertion of the coin
unlocks it. There are five tubes, one
for five cent pieces, one for dimes, one
for quarters. one for half dollars and
one for dollars. A series of keys mark
ed with the various sums between five
cents and one dollar are arranged on
the machine, and these when pressed
will give the desired amount of change.
Mr.. Roblyer secured a patent right
on the machine from the department at
Washington on October 4. He Is a dem
fist by profession.

veIoped in the hearing this week to be
given members of the Letter Carriers As
ISOLATION and the Association Of Railway
Mail Clerks before the House Committee
on Post Offices and Post Roads. These

est hind Of an effort to influence The mem
bers OF the committee for an increase Of
salary.
The Railway Mail Service is in a partic-
it's lack Of adequate force. which makes
1t rather hard on the present force, and
this is. in a measure, the fault of the
Post Office Department in failing to make
both reasonable and seasonable estimates
to the Appropriations Committee of the
House.
