For the first time in the histocy
Of the Democratic l4.ty N LcD sas-s.
ut declared IN favor OF the election Of
all officers by a direct vote OF tie
people. Not as much was made of
this plank in the platform as could
have been done, had the people been
educated to rea.iz its importance.
The very worst thing in political
campaign, is the many different ques-
tioas sought to be discussed l.. so
short a. tine. Dyan, NsS On lied
the idea Of he election of United
States Senator's by direct vote of
the people Nv eve years ago lie has
pushed this idea for doz !, ears.
We see now that it is soon to be
adopted everywhere. Recelt.y he
has declared in favor Of the election
OF Post Master. With that re-
form will come the election of our
federal Judges. If Bryan will now, as
private CITIZEN, lead p.opog- ada
In favor of the election of all Of
ficers, it will come about in 10 years.
II he does not other men will contin-
ne to advocate this great truth IN
til it will be accepted in the state
and in the nation. If the Democrat
ic party in Kansas will center its
strength on this one reform. 1t viii
soon be adopted in this state, and by
doing so, it win blaze the way for It's
acceptance to the nation.
The Democratic party in the cam
paign just closed, made the best
fight In Kansas, 1t has ever made. It
made gains everywhere. 1t is now a
vigorous minority and If It continues
to fight along this line it will soon
become majority.
The election Of all officers by
direct vote Of the people Is the road
to a democracy. The appointive sys-
tenn is sutocrstic. The elective idea
Is democratic. And the question Bry.
an raised IN this campaign !. "shAll
the people rule" must continue to |
be the paramount question until. the
people do rule In TACT a. ven - IN
name. 80 - -" !" = i
Shall We have q democracy or des-
potism IN this country! Il is idle
to expect that 1t will not become
the one thing or the ether. For a
long time there has been seces- |
sion Of democracy, while Autocracy |
has been growing apace. Patronage
has done more for Autocracy than |
all else, and the only way to destroy |
patronage is by the election of all |
officers.-Saina Union.

Topeka, Nov. 1.-THE state cam
lpaign this year cost the Republicans
a little more than $4,000 and The
Democrats little more than s7,4OO.
The exact expenses of the two CON-
mittees have not been figured up, as
there are a few small bills that have
not been presented to the committee
chairman for payment
: The largest bill in both parties
was for postage. The Republicans
spent more than $4,000 for postage
and the Democrats nearly $4,000 for
the same item. The next largest
bill was the printing. the Repubh-
cans spending more than $4,000 and
the Democrats more than $4,000. The
speakers travelling expenses in both
parties viii run something more than
$4,000. Salaries, telephone, tee
graph, office supplies, rent, express
and other items win. make up the bal
ance.
There was no "slush' fund to be di
tributed this year. The Republicans
usually had quite sum Of money
to be paid to different men for lin
ing I'D their friends and getting
out the vote. Neither party had mon
ey for this. Everybody that worked
was paid good wages, and no one was
paid for standing around and talking,

Washington, Oct 22.-Definite an
nouncement has been made that An
drew Carnegie will be one of the prin-
cipal speakers at the Nation, Rivers
and 'Harbors congress in Washington
in December The steel magnate, 1t is
said, has already commenced work on
his address, which will be a mastery
presentation. of the desirability of the
extension and development OF water
ways traffic.
Andrew Carnegie, while not actively
engaged in business, is still interested
as a stakeholder In factories and
mines whose output runs in the hun
dreds of millions, and as a shipper OF
iron ore, coal, steel, iron, ETC., is Pc
culiarly fitted to speak as citizen
of the. United States upon existing
conditions In the transportation BUSH
ness of the country, and the needs of
waterways to move the bulkier
freight.
4 Not alone as citizen of the United
States can Mr.. Carnegie speak on the
imperative needs of better water ia
cilities for handling our products, but
as cosmopolite who fNs made a
study of water and rail transporta-
ton of many countries and as the
rest of the world is competitor or

tons for the Improvement Of our
waterways will emphasize the ad :
Rvanced position taken by the National

e. e. Cole, one OF the democratic
home from a ten days visit in Chica-
go, and unbosomed himself as follows
to a representative Of The Forum:
Il have some information which I
doubt IL some of you republicans will
relish. i talked with many Of the
leading politicians OF both Of the lead
ing parties, and they were both equal
~ confident OF the success of their
favorites Personal investigation, as
far as my opportunity afforded, leads
me to say. without hesitation that Mr.
Bryan has fine chance of election.
To all his friends and well wishers,
would implore them to stand Arm
The actual condition is matter OF
speculation more than ever before, be-
cause, as far as was able 20 ascer-
tain, not a single state had been fully
polled; this being largely due to lack
of funds with both national commit
tees. The democratic national COM
mittee, in all its various departments,
is headed by able men, with a full
corps of assistants, every one of whom
is working like beavers, and If we
meet with defeat 1t will be through no
fault Of any one connected with the
national committee, from Chairman
Norman e. Mack to. the office boy. To
everybody who wishes to see Mr..
Bryan in the white house, would say,
instead of being frightened by news
paper reports as to his probable de-
feat, to redouble their efforts, and
never stop until the last vote is
polled." "A

dining room adding greatly to the gen.
eral attractiveness. In the receiving
line, besides the hosts and hostesses,
were President Cooper. Mrs. Elizabeth
Ware, the head Of Wheeler hall, and

somehow, some other change takes
place in the status of the wife and

seems repugnant but 1t does seem to
me possible to give the mother an in

shall give her an independent econom-
