he had waited but a few days more,
he might have made the total an even
$4,000, but he has been urged to &C
ton by disappointed lawyer-politi-
clans and by impecunious individuals
Jealous at the success of the State
Journal financially and in puncturing
frauds and hypocrites-
Mr.. McColIum is exceedingly modest
in his demands. He might as well
have sued for 100000. The State
Journal has told some rather I'M
pleasant things about Mr.. McCollum
but there are things yet to be told
ANY one who knows any thing about
the LIQUOR situation in Topeka knows
whether there has been any founda-
ton for the articles which have been
published in the State Journal.
1t is doubtful if Mr.. McCollum con-
sidered this action seriously He may
hone that it will serve to retain him
in the position of chief of police of
Topeka position which he has dis
graced. In his desire to hold his po-
sition he will have the hearty cooper
alton of the men who have controlled
the liquor situation in Topeka. He
will also have the cooperation of
very few so-called law and order men
who are blind to the real conditions
that have existed in Topeka several
months--who are blind because they
will not see.
Chief McCollum's past and official
record requires an airing and the ac-
ton against the State Journal may
therefore prove to be an excellent
thing for the community at large.

Saturday afternoon at five O'Clock
the attorney for A. E. NIcCollum, city
marshal, known as chief of police, filed
suit in the district court against
Frank P. MacLennan. editor and pub
Usher of the Topeka State Journal,
asking for s37, 900 and charging that
McCollum had been damaged to that
extent by Is different articles which
had been published in the State Jour
nal
Troutman & stone and Redden &
Gillully are attorneys for McCollum.
Mr.. McKeever, whose name was used
as attorney, says he has no connection
with the case.
The Mr. Gillully in the case is the
special attorney for c. J. Devlin, the
wealthy coal man who has recently in
vested a large amount of money in the
effort to establish a newspaper in To-
peka.
The many articles which McCollum
states in his petition are libelous and
which he thinks have damaged him are

for in each instance shown:

WILL MAKE FIGHT
SAYS MAYOR BIRD
Thinks That He Has Chance
of Being Named for
Governor

Politics and labor were a unit today
each taking a holiday to itself and
"nothin' doin" was the usual reply to
questions regarding the political situa-
tion.
In the rooms Of the Young Mems
Democratic Club the Democratic coun-
ty committee met at 11,3O o'clock and
made a canvass of the votes cast at
the primaries. There were no con-
tests filed and the vote as presented
was accepted. The only contest that
was spoken was that of delegate from
the First district of the tenth Repre-
sentative district CNew Castle Hun
dred) where it was said that William
II. Cooper Jr., would contest the cleo
tion Of Henry Holschumaker. Mr..
Cooper, however, this morning an
nounced his determination to stand by
the returns as shown whereby Hol-
schumacher received a majority of
forty-one votes. Nearly all the can
didates for county office, both victor
torious and detected were present at
the canvas.
Mayor Charles d. Bird is armed + r
! a fight at the meeting of the state del
egates in Dover tomorrow.
The New Castle county delegates
will meet in Dover tonight and Mayor
Bird declares that the delegation will
support him in the convention tomor-
row.
In speaking of the situation this
morning he said: I will make the
of my life tonight and will have the
New Castle county delegates with me
If the two lower county delegations le-
clare against me then 1 will step dowr
and out. I shall support the success
ful nominee for Governor to the best
of my abilities"
Today is an off day i'm the Republi-
can camp and beyond dessolutary di-
version as to the possibility Of the two
factions coming together little is be.
ing done except TO await the action o
the Union Republican State COMMITTEES
which is expected to meet tomorrow 1,
discuss the harmony proposition Of
the Regular Republican State Commit
tee as embodied in its resolution pass
on Saturday.
There seems to be a determination
on the part of the Union Republican
to accept no common primary PROPOSE
ion from the Regulars unless II EN-
bodies a cleause calling for revisio
of both State tickets and the formatio
of one containing the names of Conra
for Governor and Knowles for Con
gress.
This proposition, it is said, the Regu
lars Republicans will positively declin
to accept as under no consideration wi
they take down the name OF DR.. Jospe
