improved until about six weeks ago.
He again went to the hospital, where
the kind sisters of st. Francis spared
no pain and labor in lovingly admins
tering to his bodily needs, and where
he received the best medical attention.
Gradually and persistently, however,
his sickness gained such firm foot-hold
that, altho he received every attention
that love and medical science could
offer at the hands of the kind sisters
and physicians, he succumbed on Fri
day morning, August Il.
The deceased was of a kind, jovial
and winning disposition and was loved
and respected by all who knew him.
His interment took place at Munjor
last Monday at 900 a. m. in st. Fran
els cemetery. May his soul rest in
peace.

Violated the Law.
]. N. DeLLEY, CHAIRMAN.

The State Republican committee
composed of a chairman of each county,
met in Topeka Tuesday and chose Sen
ator J. N. Dolley as State Chairman
on the dictation of candidate for Gov
erner, Stubbs and candidate for U. S.
Senator, Bristow and in doing so we re-
gret to say, violated'the laws OF Kan
sas he same any common a w
breaker.
The Republican Legislature, to carry
out their purposes, enacted a State
Primary Law and it was first tried
August last.
To carry out that law to the letter
three men in every voting precinct IN
the state threw out thousands of illegal
votes, made illegal by the terms Of
that law. In many counties and town
ships, if not senatorial and congress
sional districts it changed the result
from the intent of the voter. Many a
man was defeated who would have
been the nominee had the intent OF the
voter been taken, but the law was
law and must be obeyed.
That law also says each county COM
mittee shall select a chairman who
shall be state committeeman.
So los of them were elected. It also
says mo man who is candidate for
any other Office can be committee
man." It was done to stop manipulat-
ing, give every voter a S QUARE DEAL
Senator Dolley was candidate for
Senator and nominated. He couldn't
run for committeeman but his county
violated the law and chose him both
Senator and Committeeman and these
officers dictated him for State Chair
man. Was that square deal to the
other lO4 chairmen2
These men sworn to obey the law
knowingly violated it. It was down
with the Leland Long ring of the par
ty and up with another.

that turned decent votes and the SO, goo

anarchy. The opposition have put up
good candidates for Governor and Sen
ator and it won't take many changes
to make it a democratic victory, for
both Stubs and Rristow urged openly
this violation of the law.
Senator Dolley is splendid man but
should have been given charge of the
campaign in some other manner. Not

olated law.
If the men high up in the councils OF
the party violate the law now, how
can they be depended upon to carry
out laws if elected, is the ammunition to
