l. d. Young. of Mitchell, moved that

resolutions and platform.
w. Y. Morgan moved as an amend
ment that the committee on platform
be composed of 33 members. one from
each judicial district, the member to
be selected by the members of the
council from the respective district.
w. X. Stubbs spoke against the
amendment He said that the platform
committee should be named by the
chairman.
w. Y. Morgan defended his amend
ment and said that it was more in har-
mony with the spirit of the policies

form committee. My motion is made
in the best of good faith" said Mr..
Morgan. without any reflection on our
candidate Tor governor. We are max
ing a political mistake to leave this
matter to a committee named by the
chairman. and thus leave the selection
or this committee to few men,"
w. X. Stubbs replied that he had un-
derstood that if the committee were
selected as Mr.. Mogan proposed, Ii
would be to bring in a minority report
and create a division of sentiment on
some of the vital issues of the cam
paign. Il want to see a resolution
committee that is in sympathy with
the progressive element of the Repub
iican party" said Stubbs.
J. L. Bristow of Salina declared that
the motion of Senator Young was the
usual motion in such cages. and that
il would be unwise to precipitate
controversy in the party council
Mr.. Stubs called for a rising vote.
The vote for Mogan's amendment
was 4s. The opposition vote was so
overwhelming that it was not carefully
counted. The secretaries estimated il
at IS. and it was SO reported to the
council 1t is likely that a count would
have shown about 100 against the
amendment. A good many delegates
known to be against Stubbs voted with
him on this issue, presumably for the
sake of harmony.
The vote was: For the amendment
AS: against IS. The amendment was
defeated.
J. W, Bergman of Clark moved as
an amendment that the platform COM
mittee be composed of one member
from each judicial district to be ap-
pointed by the chairman.
The amendment was defeated.
Senator Young's motion was then
carried unanimously.
Several motions to adjourn were
made. and Chairman McNeal declared

Mercury Reaches a Maximum of 7S
This Afternoon.

The meeting of the party councils of
the different political parties of the
state today may be responsible for the
weather conditions which exist today
for they are ideal, though the same
conditions may not exist as far as the
councils are concerned. Small patches
of clouds have floated leisurely about
the sky since early this morning, but
at that there have been but a few
moments at a time during the day
when the sun was not shining.
The temperatures have been consid-
erable below normal, in fact the max
imum of the day was but 79 at 2
O'Clock, though 1t is possible that the
point may be passed before sun down.
There was no rain last night, which is
the exception for the week as far as
Topeka is concerned, though there
were a few showers in the central por-
ton of the state. The wind has
blown from the southeast most of the
morning at the rate of IL miles an
hour and the forecast indicates partly
cloudy weather for tomorrow with a
rising temperature. The following is

outdoor life glowing in his cheeks and
carrying his years with the ease of a
young man of twenty, Judge Botkin
said: ''Never felt better in all my life.
1 have campaigned now in As coun-
ties of the state; I spoke in Highland
on Friday and in Easton, up in Atchi-
son county, on Saturday, and every
where 1 find a universal courage and a
substantial hope such as have never
seen equalled since 1896. / am en-
tirely satisfied with the conditions
thus far and 1 have every expectancy
of becoming elected governor"
"The primary law?' in answer to a
query.
We'll, I find that the people think
that the principle and purpose back
by they realize that 1t must be
changed in a number of particulars.
The law is being tested and expert
mented with and a great many things
will have to be worked out which
have not yet been perfected. 1 can
say this much that the Democrats Will
make number of amendments two
years hence.
Sentiment for Popular Election.
1.-The sentiment, too. Is favor of the
election of a United States senator by
popular vote instead Of the present
method by districts. Personally I am
in favor of making the county the unit
instead of the precinct, by this I mean
the circulation of petitions for the
nomination of a candidate. I think
that 1t should not be restricted as to
circulation to the precinct but to the
county, the county is interested as a
whole in the same thing.
And then, too, / am agitating the
use of a blanket ballot placing all the
parties on one ballot but requiring the
voter to vote in one column making
the ballot illegal if it is voted other
wise. We have had only a few months
in which to try out this law but / find
mitted to the idea. 1t is the answer
to a demand for direct legislation.
People are demanding it and I am
for anything that they want They
are going to take more and more power
in their hands and following out this
idea I have paid special attention to
the initiative and referendum in
cluding the recall of representatives
There have been number of in
stances where this privilege of recall
would have been exercised during ouI
last legislature If it had been a law.
Along with the primary law, the
bank guaranty law vies for popularity
with my audiences. There is no hall
way opinion among them concerning
