MAYOR ROSE is REELECTED
Peculiar Legal TanEIe Grows Out of
Liquor Law Enforcement at
kansas city. Kan.

KANSAS CITY. May S-William ". Rose,
democrat, who resigned the ofhce Of mayor
of Kansas City Kan, recently pending
state custer proceedings against him for
nonenforcement of certain laws and who
was later ousted by the supreme court.
which disregarded his resignation was re-
elected mayor by 1900 plurality over f. E.
Venard, republican, and David Harris So
sialist, at a special election today.
The issue OF the election was the enforce
ment Of the prohibition and anti-gambling
laws. Rose was supported by the element
which believes that the best interests OF the
city demand the licensing OF joints and
gambling halls as they maintain that a
strict enforcement OF the Law against such
places deprives the city OF its necessary
revenue. +. f.. Venard, who has been act
ing mayor since Rose resigned was sup
ported by the temperance people The So
cialist vote was light Many women voted
and most Of them supported Venard.
The question of Roses right to hold the
ofice Of mayor will now be tested. The
supreme court held that its action In GUST
ing Rose rendered him ineligible 10 be a
candidate for Office again at this time.
Rose contends that, as he had resigned
before the supreme court acted in his case.
the custer proceedings against him were
ineffective
