Topeka Correspondence.

Chairman Dolley of the Republi-
can State Committee, during the
past week, has reached into every
county in the State for information
as to political conditions, with
special reference to the national and
state tickets. He has received
glowing reports from practically
every county. Now and then a
county is found that needs close
attention, but on the whole the
information received is of fatter
ing nature. The Taft disaffection,
which the Democrats harp about,
is like the milk fever, it is always
located in the next county. "Taft
is certainly strong in Kansas" said
Chairman Dolley, after perusing the
reports. "Why shouldn't he be2
Kansas was the first state to declare
for him. The people here know
that he is the best equipped man in
America for the presidency and they
are gong to help him to get the
place by giving him the ten electoral
votes from Kansas"
Although the democrats are laying
plans for the purpose of capturing
the negro vote of Kansas for Bryan
it is doubtful if they can make much
headway in that direction. 1t is no
more natural for a negro to vote the
Democratic ticket than it IS for a
preacher to run a saloon. The
Republican party has always de-
Tended tke negro and has made
sacrifice in doing so on frequent
occasions. 1t has given him every

of the Republican State Committee.

Dog Stops An Electric
Car.

Chicago, Aug. 81 Alice P, drc, six
years old, went out for walk this
evening with hsr Newfoundland dog,
Don, and while crossing the street car
track at North Clark street and Sun
nyslde avenue, she caught her toe and
fell to the ground. Not far to the
northward a trolly car was Joining
toward the chlld, who, shocked by
the TALL, lay ln the middle Of the
track,
1t took the dog about ten seconds to
take mental notes Of the situation,
and then he began to show signs OF
great distress. He gazed anxiously
up the track in the direction OF The
approaching car. He pranced about
the child and barked. He took her
dress In his teeth and pulled, but the
dress tore. For a moment the dog
seemed to be in despair. The car was
coming fast and something had to be
done, aud then he wheeled about and
started up the track as fast as his
oodY would allow, to flag the car.
Barking furiously, the big dog ran
right in ths Mlddle Of the track. II
there ever was clear case Of reason
IN animals there was one here. The
motorman saw the dog coming and al
first he thought the beast was mad.
He clapped on the brakes and as tht
or slowed up aud stopped Don was
compelled to run backward 10 keep
out from under the wheels. He would
not get off the track.
The instant the car had come to a
standstill the dog bounded back to
mis- small mistress, who by this time
was on her feet. The only reward he
asked was a pat on the hsad.-Our
Dumb Animals.

Double SOmersauIting
Automobile.

Ringing Brothers present this sea-
son In their Worlds Greatest Shows
the most dangerously ingenious act
ever seen under canvas. A daring
young French woman seats herself In
a heavy steel automobile at the re-
mote top Of deep, sharp incline,
fiercely pluuges down the deadly
precipice, leaps from the suspended
trach thirty feet from the ground,
turns two complete somersaults and
drops thunderingly upon distant
platform, from which it wheels with
lightning velocity into the hippo
drome track. The aoysmal leap at
the end OF the fascinating flight down
the shudderiug precipce of death.
and the triumphant landing after the
terrific double revolution OF the heavy
car, thrillingly demonstrates the most
desperate, blood-curdling performance
ever witnessed la the history of the
world. Some wonderful iaventions
for exploiting the reckless courage Of
man have been seen in late years, but
for downright disregard of natures
laws and devlsh daring the perilous
ride OF this French woman is the ST.
preme sensation and greatest thriller
Of them all. 1t is impossible to
picture In words the tense, pale faces
Of the crowd as they look up toward
the cool driver, who bows aud smile,
as she seats herself Ia the "mschine
of DEATH" The person who wants a
thrill for his money gets 1t vii
emphasis in this game with destiny,
and is sure to go away with white
face and haunted memory.
The furious fl ght OF the ponderous
automobile down the incline. as sheer
as the face Of precipice, fearful,
whirliug over and over Ia mid-air, and
finishing fash into the hlppodrome
track and safety takes only about
three seconds, but in that brief tick
ing there Is a gasping for breath by
all beholders. This staggering deed
of nerve and ingenuity has created a
tremendous furore with the big show,
and is the climax OF a long list OF
European novelties and exclusive fea.

RAPS BRYAN AND
GOMPERS.


William R. Hearst delivered an
address at Davenport, Iowa, at a
Labor day celebration, and said in
part:
"When first urged labor unions
to 90 into politics Mr.. Gompers
disagreed with me, and declared
that labor unions ought to keep out
ofpolitics.
"Now Mr.. Gompers agrees with
me that labor unions ought to 60
INTO politics, but don't agree with
him on the way labor unions ought
to 20 into politics, and inasrnuch as
he was wrong and was right before,
maybe he is wrong now, and l am
right now.
"Mr. Gompers thinks that the
right way is for sll labor unions to
Law their votes in his basket like
lot of good, dutiful, political hens,
and for him then to take his basket
to market, and peddle the contents
to the Republican party or the
Democratic party.
elf any one tells you that the
Democratic party is new party
with a new attitude toward working
men, l stand ready to prove that it
is the same old Democratic party
with the same old deceitful attitude
toward working men.
"When, years ago, working men
were in Washington arguing for
what they honestly believed to be
best for themselves, their families
and their fellow citizens generally,
and Mr.. Bryan called them public
beEgars,' he did not show spirit in
sympathy with American labor or
in harmony with American ideas.
~And when Mr.. Bryan the other
day appointed treasurer of the
Democratic campaign fund this man
Haskell, member of a secret
citizens alliance, hostile to labor In
a mean cowardly way, he did not
8 show in that either spirit in SYM
pathy with American labor or in
accordance with American fair
play"
Mr.. Hearst then went into details
concerning his charges against Mr..
Haskell, quoting from a resolution
Mr.. Hearst said was introduced by
Mr.. Haskell before meeting of an
alliance, to bear out his assertions;
and the incident during which Mr..
Hearst said Mr.. Bryan termed work
ing men "public beggars" and man
ufacturers "robbers. Concerning
the latter charges against MIR. Bryan,
Mr.. Hearst read sffidavits from

POLITICS..

Politics don't boom much these
days. We have had no speakin G
yet and the campaign boomers seem
to be only manufacturing their dope
for the dear people. Our opinion
is that the spellbinders are not goil G
70 draw very big crowds this year.
The people are doing little think
ing on their own lines these times.
They have listened to the kid orators
and squirt. gun politicians till they
have discovered that there is but
little to be learned from them.
They only talk for effect and to
advance their own personal interests.
What the people want now days
are the facts put down in plain black
and white that they may read them
over carefully and form an intelll
gent judgment.
More and more each year are the
people ignoring the campaign orator
and turning to the newspaper and
other documentary evidence for a
substantiation of the faith that is
within them.
The Democrats recognized that
truth when they proposed to the
Republican committee of the state a
joint debate campaign. Realizing
their inability to draw a crowd to
listen to a Democratic wall they
thought best to invite the Republi-
cans to assist In raising a crowd d.
However the Republican state cam
paign manager, Mr.. Dolley, saw
through the subterfuge and said
them, Nay!
The Republican managers are
recognizing the potency of the press
Offering to furnish it with all kinds
of political plate matter and suppl
ments free. Lists of the voters in
every precinct have been sent in to
headquarters and soon the mails
will be flooded with campaign docu.
ments and political tracts and the
voters will read and digest them al
their leisure and the tyro campaign
orator will find, this fall, if he does
aot post himself thoroughly, that he
will be trying to discuss questions
that his hearers know more abou,
and can discuss more Intelligent,
than he can himself.
We are glad to see a literature
campaign, for by it men will make
up their minds by honest conviction
from a process of reasoning and no
from any emotional excitement.

the Democrats to capture the negro
vote in Kansas is amusing"
Henry Jacoby, an old soldier OF
Reading, Kansas, contributes the
following for the edifcat;on of those
old soldiers, especially pensioners,
who are thinking of voting for
Bryan:
"Whea the bcys in blue were
marching, fighting, starving, bleed
ing and dying to save this nation in
1861 65, w. J. Bryan was babe in
swaddling clothes. November IL,
1892, after ripe age Of 80, this
Bryan wrote, of the survivors OF
those boys in blue as follows: 'The
next Congress will have to wrestle
with one deficiency Of $50, 900, 900.
This tremendous sum of itself would
be enough 10 run a reasonable
government. One would not COM
plain If 1t were an honorable debt,
because il was never earned by any
act of patriotism or honorable SER
vice. The government is held up
and despoiled of no mean portion
of this, and it seems helpless to
defend itself. One cannot help
being curious to know how many
more years it will take to exhaust
the generation which feels itself in
jured by the war. If is safe to say
that never did generation display
such longevity
Will those Of the old boys whose
remarkable longevity still keeps
them with US and their relatives and
friends march proudly to the polls
and vote for this same Bryan for
President of the nation they pre-
served, or will they not2"
"The Republican end of this State
campaign is going to be clean and
clear cut" this is the statement of
Chairman ]. N. Dolley of the Re-
publican State Committee upon
talking over his duties. "There will
be no tricks played and everything
will be open and above board. We
will get every good speaker that we
can muster and send him out over
the state and we will food the state
with literature, but if we can't win
without r-sorting to low tricks we
will have to lose. l stand for a

Chairman J. N. Dolley of the
Republican State Committee and
Henderson Martin otthe Democratic
State Committee met by acciden,
the other day.
"I'm glad to meet you Senator,

"but l want TO inform you that we

DANGEROUS Situation.

Forest fires are raging in Mime
sofa and several small towns are in
fair way to be wiped out.
Grand Marais, a town of several
hundred inhabitants on the shores
of Lake Superior, is entirely hemmsd
in with no means of escape but by
water. A boat has been dispatched
to their rescue.
Several other towns seem doomed
to destruction.

now" replied Dolley, 'for it is
certain tina. you will not be after
the election. The Republicans are
just as sure to carry Kansas this
fall as the sun ris S in the east"
Governor A. B. Cummins of Iowa
whom the National Republican
Committee will loan to Kansas for
short time during the campaign is
in great demand over the state.
The Republicans in every city ap-
pear to be active and are anxious to
nave him for a speech. He will be
in the state but short time and
will make only two or taree speeches.
Abilene is likely to get him about
september 23rd. Wichita is very
anxious Ito secure meeting fsr him
and several other towns have made
application to the heaG arters.
"Canned" speeches arc likely to
play an important part In the Re
publican campaign In Kansas this
year. With the perfection of the
phonograpn has come new era in
campaigning. One day not long
ago Secretary Taft took half day
off down at Hot Springs and re-
hearsed portions of his speech of
acceptance into a phonograph and
records were made. Other records
have been made from taese and are
being sent into states all over the
country. The Kansas committee
has received tN elve Of them, con
tanning twelve different portions of
the speech of acceptance, aad they
will bs used over the state ring
the campaign. Hearing Taft speak
is an evenings diversion in Topeka.
These records are turned loose at
the Copeland every few evenings
and great crowds gather to hear the
voice and sentiments of the Re-
publican candidate for the presi-
dency."
| Up to the time Of the primary
election it appeared that the Re-
publican party in Kansas was pretty
well split up-even more than is
usually the case after convention.
There are always few who are
"sore," but party leaders were
somewhat uneasy over the feeling
exhibited after the primary. Now
it has been forgotten. 1t has dwin-
died away in the face of the op-
position to the common enemy, the
Democratic party, and the letters
received by the State Committee
from every section of Kansas indi-
cate that the best of feeling exists;
that all Republicans, no matter to
what faction they belonged, are
now ready to take off their coats
and go to work for the success of
the Republican ticket, state and
national. This situation is very
fplsasing to Chairman Dolley, but
IN justice to him it should be said
that he is one of the party leaders
WHO predicted it from the start.

of certain interests that the old man
should not rest, and in the bitterness
and strife that he suffered there was
enacted again in frenzied politics a
scene that has come to be disgrace on

and a menace to the republican form of
government.
