TEN MORE TOWNS.

State Chairman J. N. Dolley was in
conference with the officials of the
Santa Fe this morning in regard to the
schedule and stopping places of the
Taft train through Kansas on the day
of Oct. 8, and while it has not yet been
finally settled it was practically de-
cided to have the Republican presi-
dental candidate speak from the rear
platform of his train at Dodge City at
g a. m. on the morning of Oct. 3.
Kinsley will be the next stopping place,
then Larned, Great Bend, Sterling,
Hutchinson, Newton Florence or Pea
body, Strong City and Emporia, in the
order named. Taft will arrive at To-
peka at $50 in the evening and speak
here at the Auditorium at s o'clock
that night.
The Taft special will leave Denver at
IL o'clock on the evening of Oct. and
run on a very fast schedule to Dodge
City, arriving there at 8 a. m. the next
morning.
Chairman Dolley has been over
whelmed all week by a flood of tele-
ters and delegations coming from every
section of the state, all asking, implor-
ing, requesting and making demands
for Taft for their various towns. They
promise crowds of from 10000 to $4,000
If the big man with the big smile will
only be given to them for one day. Mr..
Dolley regards as a good sign this ter
rife demand for the Republican nomi-
nee. He will place Taft at every single
town in the state that he possibly can,
but has no power to grant even a small
part of these calls from the grass roots
of Kansas.
The state chairman is getting many
calls for Sherman, too, and now that it
mas been definitely settled that the vice
presidential nominee is coming to Kan
saS, there are three times as many
calls as Mr.. Sherman can I'LL.
Chairman Dolley wants to impress on
the people of Kansas the fact that
City, Mo, Oct. 4, in convention hall,
that the meeting is to be held under
the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A. of both
Kansas City Kan, and Kansas City,
No, and that therefore 1t is a Kansas
as well as Missouri meeting.
