The denomination of William Green
for city councilman from the Third
ward by pronounced majority Is a
deserved recognition Of the services Of
one of the best members of the city
council Topeka has ever had. 1t is evil
dence that Mr.. Green has the conf
dence of the people of the Third ward
in a marked degree.
However. the overwhelming major
ity of more than two to one was a
great surprise to Mr.. Green as we'll as
to the supporters of his opponent
Major Harvey. for the latter is good

vey's diseredit that he was defeated by
Mr.. Green. but it was rather his mis-
fortune to be pitted against an official
whom the majority of the people wish
to continue in the council inasmuch as
he is willing to do so.
In the Fourth ward the contest was
largely on the wet and dry issue, and
the dry candidate, z. Montgomery,
won by majority of 40.
The dry victory was much more
pronounced, however. in the selection
of members of the city committee in

of the leaders of the Schlitz combine,
filed the names Of several candidates
for members Of the committee in an
attempt to secure control of the COM
mittee. He selected the most popular
men he could find. among them, in the
Fourth ward. Major T. J. Anderson,
w A. /. Thompson. and others. Most
of his candidates withdrew, but all but
one remained on the ticket in the
Fourth ward The fact that Bauer
was behind them, however, was
enough to cause their defeat, notwith-
standing their personal popularity,
Judge T. F. Carver winning over Ma
jOr Anderson for committeeman
large by heavy majority, and the
Bauer candidates in the first, second
and third precincts likewise going
down in defeat.
There will be two changes in the
city council as result Of yesterday

will be succeeded by c. E. Jordan. S.

in the Fourth ward. but otherwise the
old councilmen are renominated.

MAD ar THE PRESIDENT.

There may be some reason in the way
things are done at Washington after
all Joseph L. Bristow, who knows
something Of the legislative game as it
is played in Washington, throws this
Sidclight On the present situation there:
There is a strong sentiment in the
west in favor Of the admission Of ok
lahoma and Indian Territory as a state
and leaving New Mexico and Arizona
as territories speaker Cannon does not
have the sympathy of the people Of
Kansas in his stand rat policy on the
statehood question This viii not have
any great effect on the speakers attf-
tude, however. He is in a sense play
ing a game with the senate. During
recent years the senate has not only en-
croached on the p~erogatives of the
house, but to a certain extent also on
the executive. The house win pass a
bin and it goes over to the senate and
there is radically changed to put it in
shape to suit few Of the senators and
then it comes back to the house to be
accepted or die. Cannon resents this
very much. The senate stands there
ike a rock and the house usually
anxious for the legislation yields the
points at issue to the senate in order
to save the bill. While there Is genuine
opposition to the admission OF New
Mexico and Arizona as one state by a
number Of senators. vet the house meas
ure this year would probably have

Republican senators had not been mad

on railroad legislation. These men are
