GOV. HOCH RENOMINATED
Boss Stubs Went Down to Defeat. The
Machine Wins Everything and
HOch Zines en-

IHc Olu lIldClllIe dlQeQ by the
railroad influences swept the plat
ter in the republican state conven-
tion at Topeka last week. The
test of strength first came on the
temporary organization and it was
apparent at least day before the
convention was called to order that
the old machine crowd had every
thing. They won out over two to
one. On the nomination of lieu
tenant governor the delegates were
first called to show their hands IN
dividually. w. J. Fitzgerald of
Dodge City was the machine and
corporation candidate and Ansel
r. Clark of Lyons was the anti
machine and common peoples
candidate. The result: Fitzger-
aid got $751; votes; Clark got $685.
votes. The Barber county delega-
ton voted tor Fitzgerald.
The board of railroad commits
sioners is strictly a representative
body of railroad interests. Wheat
ley, the only present member of the
board who had the nerve to stand
for renomi ination, was defeated by
a narrow margin but Barber coun-
ty went into the ditch with him.
The ones nominated, however, are
just as satisfactory to the railroads
and are not handicapped by a
record.
The ticket nominated.
Governor--E. W. Hoch Marion.
Lieutenant Governor--W. ]. Fitzgerald.
Ford county.
Secretary of state--C. E. Denton. Harper
county
State Auyiltor--James NJ Nation, Neosto
county.
State Treasurer--Marlz Tulley. Montgomery

term; Silas Porter, Wyandottc. and G. B..

Superintendent of Schools--E. I. Fairchild,

Usage county.
Railroad Commissioners--Fran<L L. Ryan,
Leavenworth county; c. A. Ryker Reno
county; George W. kanavel. Harvey county.
State Printer-T. A. McNeal, Shawnee
county.
The platform is a conglomera-
tion of stuf-it's a Joke. 1t con-
tains hogwash about the republi-
can party's enacting the only rail-
road law, but is silent as the tomb
about nominating and eIecting
railroad commissioners to represent
ther ailroads, instead of the people.
1t is in favor of both high tariff
and tariff revision-anything to
catch votes. The anti-pass plank
was defeated and law enforce
ment and honest government were
ignored. The treasury shortages
and Crookedness were hushed and
if there is anything in the platform
as whole to inspire hope for any.
thing good in the event of the
tickets election it is too we'll con-
cealed for an ordinarv rcaSe. to
discover it.
i The two tickets are now before
the voters of Kansas. 1t ought
not to be difficult for them to make
a choice.

INTERESTING INVENTION
Strong Company to Be Organized
to Market 1t.

Mr. Harry f. Smith, Richmond
genius. has just obtained a patent on an
electric device, out of the sale and use
of which will probably grow n big busl-
ness to add to the commercial Importance
of Richmond.
Messrs. George j. Hooper and J. Stuart
Hopkins are joint owners with Mr.. Smith
of the device, and these gentlemen pro-
pose to capitalize it at once and organ
ize n strong company to put it on the
market. The Invention has been named
the emergency lock-" or electric lock
strike"
The invention is simply an electric ar
rangement operated by small battery,
which can be attached by wires to any
number of doors in building. These
doors, five hundred or more in number.
may be ever so securely locked, but by
simply touching button, an electric
current will be turned on from the bat
terry that will sound an alarm in every
room. and at the same time unlock and
throw wide open every door in a building.
In case of a fire or panic from any cause
in hotel or a large apartment house, or
a large factory the value of this inven-
ton is manifest.
An electric expert who has seen the
operation of the device. declares that
had 1t been known at the Hme. and in
use in the Iroauois Theatre in Chicago
when that awful fire occurred there, no
loss of life would have resulted. The
people who We're burned in that fire We're
in locked rooms. and in the panic that
ensued could not or did not find the keys.
or did not know, In their excitement, how
to use them.
The simple machinery necessary to the
business will be made in Richmond, and
the company will be formed at once.
