RAILROADS CARE
LITTLE WHO WINS

TOPEKA, Oct. 24.--"From rail-
road standpoint there is but little pre-
ference in the national election this
fall" said 4. p. Ripley, president Of
the Santa Fe, who was here attending
the annual meeting Of stockholders OF
his company.
Personally We all have our prefer
ences, but the railroads are fearing lit
tie from national legislation, and we
don't want to be dragged into any
political controversy, nor do ! want to
talk politics. No matter which way
the national election goes IL will take
business conditions just so long to adj
just themselves.
1t Is the state legislatures that We
fear most. But regarding hostile legis-
lation from these sources the railroads
ere optimistic. Probably they have
done us all the damage they can"
