David Overmyer, Democratic candi-
date for attorney general. Fred 5
Jackson. Republican candidate for the
same office, and Hugh p Farrelly,
Democratic candidate for lieutenant
governor. were the speakers at mer-
chants picnic IN Kansas City, Kansas,
Thursday afternoon. Overmyer talk
ed most Of the afternoon, and Jackson
and Farrelly had to conf1ne their re-
marks to a very short time.
The guest of honor. Colonel W. A.
Harris, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Kansas, missed his train at
Bonner Springs late in the afternoon
and could not get to the picnic grounds
in time to speak Mr.. Overmyer was
interrupted on two occasions. The
first outbreak come when Overmyer
spoke Of C. W. Trickett. assistant at
torney general. who was appointed in
/ Wyandotte county by Governor Hoch
TO close the joints Overmyer said
Trickett was reaching far out, and If
! not watched closely would be getting
! across the line into Missouri in his
crusade. He said afterward that he
] only meant the remark as a pleasantly,
saying what he did as he called for
drink of water.
We'll. Trickett is doing his duty"
1 interrupted an old gentleman in the
audience.
That's right" answered the speak
/ er. 'Trickett don't need to dodge,
and, as he raised his glass; Here's
hoping he won't dodge"
Overmyer confined his remarks
/ principally to railroad legislation of
the last Kansas legislature. He said
he began hearing Of railway abuse Of
the people twenty-five years ago, when
I he settled in Kansas, and that the rail-
way question is still the issue of the
day
"Hochs railway Iaws=thIrteen of
them, passed by the last legislature
are all farce. and the people have
no rights under them" he said Even
when the square deal faction of the
4 Republican party went into the re-
cent state convention they got Moth
ing out of it because they had no one
back Of them but the people. and in
that convention. dominated as it was
by railway influence, the people didn' t
count"
Then Overmyer launched into a
criticism Of Bale WaggeneT's railway
bill passed by the recent legislature.
One Of his auditors shouted that that
bill was drawn by a Democrat
You mean that bill was drawn by a
Democrat who is q Republican. who
says he will support Hoch and who
has helped you all your life, - answered
Overmyer.
We'll. I agree with everything you
say again Interrupted the other Il
tried TO get away from 1t myself
Il don't know who you are" said
Overmyer. Your heart seems to be
in the right place. but your head is all
wrong"
The person who held the heated dia-
logue with Overmyer was z. K. Rob-
nett Republican member of the leg
lslature from the Ninth district and
the man who introduced the bill then
under discussion.
Overmyer closed his remarks with q
promise to his supporters that if elect
!. ed he would do his duty as prescribed

win make the race against c. L Day.
idson. the banker and lawyer who rep
resented Marion county in the last ses-
sion.
Riddle is one of the foremost of the
old-tirne Populists in the state. He now
trains with the Democratic party, but
he is in favor of a change in Democrat
ic policy, and a strong stand for the
enforcement of the prohibitory law. He
will undoubtedly make a good fight
against Davidson, but it is not likely
that he can overcome the normal 800
Republican majority in his county.

WAVE BLOODY SHIRT.
A Circular Letter Appeal to War
Time Prejudices.
Taylor Riddle Nominated for
Legislature III Marion.

To offset the attacks which the Dem
ocrats are making on the old soldiers
support of the Republican ticket. 1t is
said that Thea Republican state com
mittee is preparing a circular letter to
be sent to the old soldiers of the state,
in which the record of Col. A. ". Har-
ris in the Confederate army will be set
forth in considerable detail. and the
bloody shirt VIII be placed on exhi-
bition The old soldiers are appealed
to to save the state" from the dis
grace of having a former Confederate
soldier in the governors chair
Meantime. the Democratic fight is
being carried on with great vigor among
the old soldiers Of the state. The basis
of the attack is the action of the judges
of the Kansas supreme court in electing
L. J. Graham to the position of supreme
court reporter over the head of an old
soldiers applicant There are some of
the old soldiers who claim that this
was rank violation of the old sol
diers' preference law, which the su-
preme court itself had sustained.

lshed a special edition some time ago
devoted to abusing the supreme court
for its action in the reporter case, and
I the Democratic state committee mas
been sending out thousands OF copies
Of this paper to the old soldiers To
help the thing along, there have been
other thousands of copies sent out to
every G. A. r. post in the state, ana TO
Kansas newspapers generally from he
q. A. R. headquarters at the state
house. 1t is claimed, however, that the
G. A. r. Fas nothing to do with the
copies of the paper being sent out from
] his own HEADQUARTERS; that these pa
pers are distributed wholly on the re-
sponsibility of Cyrus Corning. editor Of
the paper. and that Corning pays for
mailing the papers. A little slip is en-
closed with the papers asking the re-
cipient to subscribe for the paper.
While the G. A. R. may have no Off
cial connection with the mailing of pa
pers from its headquarters, it undoubt-
! edlV svmpathizes with the fight which
is being made on the supreme court
