KANSAS DAY CLUB MEET

NAlNShS LA SLOD wi
rhe Kansas day club held Its
regular annual meeting in Topeka,
last Monday. There was an immense
crowd there, the largest in its his
tory. The club meeting and the
meeting Of the eml-centenlal being
held on the same day, filed the
capital city to overflow. So much
so, that it was very difficult to get
anything to eat or secure respect
able bed. In this connection we
wish to say that Topeka hotels seem
to be in sad need of general re-
ncvation and reorganization. How
would they entertain big fair
crowd2
But to return to the day club.
t.. hole thing seemed to be
bowling success. The crowds mllled
around the lobby of the Copeland
while the medicine makers piled
Their schemes in private rooms.
Kansas day has become the great
political day in the state. It's then
the politicians HE themselves away
to the capital from every part of the
state and concoct the various politi-
ca brews for the rank and file of the
patty to swallow. Many bark is
launched on the tempestuous sea of
politics at this time. Last Monday
was no exception.
One of the most notable events
of the occasion was the wonderful
ovation rendered ex.Gov. Bailey at
the forenoon meeting of the dele
gates to the semi-centennial. 1t
was but spontaneous demonstra-
ton of respect to the ex- g'vernor,
but it stirred up the Hoch men and
set them hustling and immediately
after dinuer the Governor opened up
quarters at the Copeland and his
trusted lieutenants hust' I'd through
the crowded Copeland Lobby, steer
ing the throngs up to the Goveraer's
room. At the banquet at night a
counter demonstration was made in
aver of the GovernoC. Right or
wrong, there was no Disgusting the
fact that there was very strong
element In the crowd opposed to
Governor Hoch's denomination and
casting about for a likely candidate
to lead the fight. That the ,apposi,
tloa was strong cannot be denied.
However, it was composed of
many discordant and jealous
elements and seemed to lack a prom
lnent and trusted leader who was
willing to assume the responsible
ity of naming a candidate.
There were three probable can
didates discussed and all had their
followers. OF the thee ex-Goy.
Bailey is decidedly the strongest
man. There is quite a feeling over
the state that he has been mis-
treated and should an organized
fight be instituted in his favor, khis
sentiment will be proven to be very
strong.
The old medicine mixers, Cy
Leland and Mort Albaugh and
others of the old machine seemed
to be keeping quiet and sawingl
wood, at the same time winking out 4
of the other eye at those who we're
inclined to get off the reservation. |
Burrows and Grimes we're putting |
in hot ticks for their chief in the
afternoon. Why should they
not they are under obligations.
This meeting was of the politi-
clans, the sentiment of tn. politi-
clans does not always 60 in Kansas.
The voters have found they can
exert their power and will not hest
tate to do so in the coming eonyea-

along the line. Farm land and small
tracks along this line and nearby
are today selling at from IS per
cent. to 100 per cent. more than
before the road was constructed,
while residence properties in viii
lagos are selling at greatly increased
prices. Business in these towns has
improved and everybody seems to be
prosperous and happy.
Merchants conducting stores in
villages say that the farmers living
at a distance of even seven to ten
miles away come to town now more
frequently than before and make
many more purchases, because they
now find the towns paying as good
price for farm products as the
larger cities. Many additional facts
might be given but these should be
sufficient to convince even the most
skeptical.
LOCATION OF FACTORIES
Another important observation
made is this, that since the advent
of electric lines, factories and es-
pecially those manufacturing light
weight goods, are locating in the
smaller towns, and it is highly pro-
bable that during the next decade
the trend of shops will be in that
direction"

and elbows last night at Colma that
the sixteenth round was reached before
Joe Thomas could find an opening for a

Fitzpatrick made money for his friends

win within fifteen rounds vas at even

results was at 10 TO 3. with Thomas on

The Fitzpatrick crowd, knowing OF
Dicks staying qualities. liked the round
betting proposition better than the

tie fifteen rounds 10 a decision in this
city before the Eureka Athletic Club

The contest Will take the place OF the
much-talked-of argument between KID

Sullivan, as since his match with Nc

1t seems that Sullivan will now be
