Committee Issues Appeal.

tribute to Campaign.
ON BEHALF OF BRYAN.
Chairman DoIley Will Look Al
ter Republican Funds.
Oberlin Eye Deserts Congress
man Reeder's Standard.

Chairman Henderson Martin has is
sued an appeal for funds to the
Democrats of Kansas. Chairman
Martin says that he not only wants
money, but wants all the earnest
Democrats of Kansas to lay aside their
private affairs for sixty days and help
elect Bryan.
This is Mr. Martins proclamation
which goes forth to the Democracy of
Kansas today:
ITO the Democrats of Kansas:
GAS we enter upon this sixty day
campaign, 1 desire to appeal to every
Democrat in our state. Whether you
are candidate or not; whether you
are a committeeman or not, / APP
peal to you for assistance. 1 cannot
appeal to persons whose assistance
can be secured only by promise of
special favor 1 appeal only to the
men and women who love their coun-
ask only for fair chance in an open
field. L appeal to those who have
convictions and are willing to sacrifice
for them. Kansas must be carried for
Mr.. Bryan. On my part, pledge you
sixty days of hard work. On your
part l beg you with all the earnest
ness of my heart to lay aside for sixty
days, so far as possible, your private
affairs and help-help with your
money. your time and your in
fiuence. Fraternally,
III S. MARTIN,
chairman Democratic State Central
Committee of Kansas
Chairman Dolley of the Republican
state committee says that he will look
after the raising of funds for the Re
publican state campaign.
1t is likely that the national COM
mittee will devote to the Kansas
campaign for Taft as much money as
Kansas will contribute to the national
campaign through Frank Grimes, the
chairman of the Kansas financial
committee.
The Oberlin Eye, which for more
than twenty years has been one of the
leading Republican papers of the
western part of the state and whose
editor, Columbus Borin. is probably
as well known and has as wide an ac-
quaintance as any country editor in
the state, in it's issue this week comes
out in support Of John r. Connolly
the Democratic candidate for con-
| gress, against Congressman Reeder.
J. L. Bristow, the Republican can
! didate for United States senator was
| in Topeka Tuesday on his way to Bax-
! ter Springs. where he opens his cam
paign today, at the Baxter Springs re-
| union. Mr.. Bristow called at Repub-
lican state headquarters.
1t is not generally known that Mr.
Bristow has been sick for the past two
weeks. Shortly after the conclusion
of his strenuous campaign for the SEN
\ atorial nomination. his system relaxed
| from the strain that it had been Iin-
/ der. and for some days Mr.. Bristow
was confined to his bed. He is now
back on his feet, and feeling as well

81 believe that things are looking
I IL
| Republican state and national ticket
and that they are looking better ev-
cry day. BY the time of the election
the outcome will be foregone con-
clusion.'

Cornl Cornl Corni

The display of corn at the street fair
convinced me that the farmers in this
section of the country are very much
interested in raising good corn. In
order to encourage the farmers in that
respect make the following PROPOSE
ton:
l vii! give S. in cash for the best l2
ears of corn, S3 for second best l2 ears,
and 50 for third best y ears brought to
the Bank Of Jasper on or before Christ
mas day. 1 will sell all of the corn to
the best advantage, perhaps by auction,
then send to the agricultural depart
ment of the state of Missouri or where
ever we can get it, and buy pure seed
corn and divide it equally among the
parties contesting for the prize.
All corn brought in to be tied together
with strong twine, wrapped in q paper

DR.. Knight Finds Liberal Support of
Plan to Raise Big Fund for Pres
byteElan School Andrew Carne-
gle One of the Donors TO Extent of
$25, 5,0OO-WiH Be One of Largest
Colleges in West When Completed.

That Caldwell, Idaho, a small town
not one-third the size of Pendleton, is
going to be able to raise over 100000
for the college of Idaho, Presbyter-
ian schoon, is the firm belief of DR..
H. B. Knight, formerly financial
agent of Pendeton academy who was
in the city last evening between
trains.
DR.. Knight raised a sustentation
fund of $4,000 for Pendleton acad-
emy last year and also secured the
$4,000 donation from w. w. Brown
of Crook county by which. the ele-
CANT dormitory for boys was erected
during the past three months.
He is now engaged in raising the
fund for the Caldwell college and has
already succeeded in raising about
$50, 900 of the sum which the college
hopes to raise. DR.. Pearson, a
wealthy philanthropist of Chicago
has given $4,000 to the Caldwell
school, Andrew Carnegie has promised
$4,000 provided Caldwell raises a
like sum. That Caldwell will do this
is Mr.. Knights firm belief.
With the fund now being raised the
College of Idaho hopes to erect a
number Of buildings and will estab-
lish one of the largest colleges and

PROF. LYMAN FOR CONGRESS.
Whitman College Instructor Promi-
nently Mentioned in Third WASH
ingtOn District.

Something new is transpiring in the
political field every day, and politi-
clans are kept guessing as to what is
to be the next act in the drama of
coming elections in this county and
state. The latest surprise to set party
leaders buzzing is the rumor that
Professor w. d. Lyman of Whitman
didacy, within the next few days, for
the office of congressman from the
third district, says the Walla Walla
Statesman.
News of the professors aspirations
has been common talk on the streets
today, and in almost every quarter,
where an opinion was expressed, Mr.
Lyman's announcement met with
popular favor According to the an
nouncement made this morning, Mr.
Lyman will make his run on a
straight open-river platform with pol
itics eliminated, other than that he
will be a republican ticket nominee.
During the past several years Mr..
Lyman has won an enviable reputa-
tion throughout the state of WASH
ington, and, in fact, in the entire
northwest, as a tireless and energetic
worker for all that pertains to the ad-
vancement of this part of the United
States. As an open river advocate,
he is in the lead, and has made deep
research in the endeavor to secure
data regarding the improvement Of
Washington waterways and an open
stream to tidewater
A member of the Historical society,
one of the officers of that organiza-
ton, and probably better versed on
the conditions, history and require
ments of the different parts of the
state than any other one man, Mr. Ly-
man, his friends say, would be a for
midable opponent for candidate
making the run for office on straight
political lines.
