as 1.-The field against Curtis" who has
the support of the railroads. Thus far
Curtis has been unable to break into
the ranks of 1.-The field" and create dis
sension, but q great deal depends upon
the ability of the Curtis people to
create bitterness with the antirailroad
crowd.
The Democrats will have about So
votes in the house and senate at the
coming session, but the Republicans
do not propose to allow them to have
anything to say about the election of
senator. The Republicans declare
that the senator will be nominated IN
the caucus and that no Republican

w. j. HcaIy Makes a Statement About
His Ohice

The State Journal recently printed
an article headed why Not Stop It,
having reference to assessments made
In "a certain auditing Office in the ac-
counting department of a railroad
with general headquarters in Topeka,
against the clerks" An example was
given of a young girl employed as
stenographer at $40 per month, and
requiring her to work nights and then
contribute 81 toward:
First=Buying for the chief clerk a
wedding present
Second-To buy Christmas pres
Third-A monthly assessment to
buy flowers for the prospective dead.
Fourth-A monthly assessment to
buy mineral water for the clerks.
w. j. Healy, freight auditor of the
Santa Fe today made the following

the article above referred to- He
said:
.sThere is no record of the employ
ment of such girl.
1.-The least paid stenograph er is
$40 per month and no night work is
required of them.
.'sThere was no fund raised nor con-
tributions asked for a wedding pres
ent for the chief clerk. He is a mar
ried man and has been for a number
of years.
There was no contribution asked
with which to buy a. Christmas pres
ent for the boss as it is strictly
against the rule of the office that
presents he made or accepted by hea DIS
of departments. The rule was made
by the boss some fifteen years ago.
There is a floral fund, made up Of
voluntary contributions, of not to ex-
coed ten cents from each contributor.
Two contributions were made during
the present year, the first one in
January, the last one in June The
