NO RAILROAD INFLUENCE
Bale Waggener says It Wasn't Used
in Second District.

This talk about railroad influence
in the Second district congressional
fight IS ali nonsense. II the railroads
had taken any part in that fight
would have known about it. have
not issued any railroad transportation
to anybody in connection with the Sec
ond district fight"
This is the statement made this
morning By. Bale P. Waggener, of
Atchison, state Senator from Atchison
county and general attorney for the
Missouri Pacifc railroad.
LAS a matter Of. fact continued Mr..
Waggener, the railroad companies are
not in politics in this state. They have
come to the conclusion that it is bet
ter for them to stay out of the po-
litical business. It does not pay
What is the significance of the Sec
ond district fight and its outcome ?"
was asked.
'tIt means said Senator Waggener,
that the people of the Second district
were satisfied with Charles Scott as
congressman. Scott has made a good
record in congress, and the people did
not think it advisable to make
change. There was no good reason
for fight on Scott.
It do not consider that W. r. Stubs
had anything to do with SCOTS Sue
cess. II Stubs had stayed out Of 1t,
Scott would have had larger majority
Ihan he did have. The people or this
state are on to Mr.. Stubs. They
know him for what he IS His talk
against railroads is all froth and feath-
ers OF course he will assume to him
self a lot of credit for Scott's victory,
and it is hard to tell what effect it will
have on his future. There is a wave
of hysterica1 sentiment sweeping over
the state, and it is impossible to tell
what will come Of It. I do not believe,
however, that Stubs part in this fight
will put him in the Eaddle, as some
people assume it will"
what about the Democratic noni-
nation for governor
"It's all up in the air" said Mr.
rWaggener. IF we could get some
good. able man like Harris to run,
believe we could give Mr.. Hoch a
pretty close race. This is an off year
in politics. and people are not as hide
bound as they might be on political
lines. Col William F. Sapp, of Ga
lena, would be a strong candidate. He
would make a good race, and I be-
lieve that he would take the nomina-
ton if it were rendered him"
would you consider being a candf-
date yourself?"
mot for a minute replied Mr..
Waggener. ST am out of It, abso-
lutely My railroad connection would
bar me. People wouldn't vote for me
for superintendent of the pest house. "

tate the Question.

Additional pressure to secure a par
don for Arthur E. Irelan will be
brought to bear upon Governor Hoch
by the labor unions of Topeka. A big
mass meeting is to be held on April 8,
at which number of prominent
speakers will be on the programme.
David Overmyer will be one Of the
speakers. The object viii be to discuss
labor matters. in general but the
Irelan case and the case Of the labor
leaders under arrest in Idaho in par
ticular
Meyer, the president Of the western
Federation of Miners and Haywood.
another labor leader, are In Jail out IN
Idaho charged with the murder of
Governor Stuenenberg. The Topeka
mass meeting is one OF a large number
of similar mass meetings which are
being held all over the country on this
matter. The Irelan matter gets a
place IN the Topeka meeting because
the labor unions think that Irelan Is
fnistreated in the same way the Idaho
labor officials are.
Irelan is vice president of the ma
chinists' union and is serving a six
months sentence IN the Cowley coun-
ty Jail for assaulting J. D. Harrity, a
"scab" machihist.

came engaged in an argument which
finally ended in blows and in the melee
most of the occupants of the room join
ed in the fight which took on a free for
all aspect.
TIRE is nothing about the place this
morning to indicate that such an affair
was pulled off last night excepting the
fact that there is a large pane of glass
broken in, one of the cases and that
ties about the place. The matter was
not reported to the police though
policeman was calledein to queH the
disturbance.
The police department deny an
knowledge of the affair though 1t IS be-
ing generally talked OF on the streets.
When seen this morning Mr.. kohl,
the proprietor of the place, said: /
did not close the store last night but
as far as I know there was no trouble
Of any kind. There are q, few broken
bottles about but any one might nave
stumbled on to them and broken them
and I am sure that if there had been
any trouble Of any kind that would
have heard of it. Ny night man has

fight Of any kind here I am sure that
he would have left a note so that I
