HE BI4AMEs THE DEMOCRATS.


c. d. Walker of Atchison, who was
defeated for the Republican nominal
tion for the legislature in Atchison
county by E. H. Johnson, was in Tope-
ka today.
1.-THE way the Democrats voted up
there in my representative district
district was a fright" says Mr.. Walk
err. 81 was the Stubs or square deal
candidate for the legislature, and Bale
Waggener fixed it up for all the DEM
ocrats to come in and vote against me.
am told that Bale Waggener himself
asked for and voted a Republican ball
lot, and that his brother did the same.
1 think that 500 Democrats voted I'm
our district, and they all voted against
me. Had it not been for the Demo-
Gratis. 1 would have beaten Johnson
easily."

FIGHT TO LAST DITCH.
Mr.. Dayhof Appeals to Governor Not
to Grant Requisition.

Whether or not one good turn de-
serves another, is the question before
Governor Hoch this afternoon. The
Shawnee county authorities will at
tempt to get requisition for Mr.. I. L.
Dayhoff, alleged libeler, who prefers
ney, o. n. Hungate, will appear before
the governor. and object to the grant
ing of a requisition.
This might look like an easy propos-
ition for the governor. without the
key. Here is the key: Two years ago.
fore a Labor day meeting at Vinewood
park, Topeka. In the course OF her
speech, she took a shot at Governor
z w Hoch, chief executive of Kansas.
Dayhoff, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction of Kansas at that time,
ran little paper at Hutchinson called,
1.-The Kansas Educator" 1t was sup
posed to be an educational organ. but
in the issue following Mrs. Burton S
anti-Hoch speech, a large portion of
its space was dedicated to the abuse
of Mrs. Burton, for daring to attack
the sacred name of Hoch. Dayhoff,
who wrote the article in person, gave
alleged history of Mrs. Burton and
made ill advised and unwarranted in
timations. His entire crusade against
Mrs. Burton seemed to be instigated
by his love for Hoch. Now Hoch has
a chance to return good for good by
refusing a requisition for his friends
removal from Missouri. 1t is under
stood by the officers that Dayhoff, who
is employed in Kansas City, imme-
diately got in touch with Hoch over
the telephone as soon as he was ar
rested by Sheriff Wilkerson.
Should the Shawnee county author
tiles win with Governor Hoch this af-
ternoon, they have still to deal with
the governor of Missouri. Dayhoff
says he will fight requisition to the last
ditch, and has hired an attorney in
Kansas City to accompany him to
Jefferson City tomorrow.

GO AHEAD SAYS ROYCE.
Says Kansas Should Pass a Guaranty
-.--y-> s-'s Deposit Law: ..z

State Bank Commissioner John Q.
Royce thinks that Kansas should at
the next session of the legislature go
ahead and pass the guaranty deposit
law for banks. regardless of the ruling
of the comptroller that national banks
can not participate.
1T is my judgment" said Mr.. Royce
today. that one of the first things
congress ought to do when it meets in
the fall is to fix it so that national
banks can participate in the state
guaranty deposit laws. I do not think
that a national guaranty deposit law is
essential. 1t will be hard to pass
national law which will suit the vary
ing conditions in all state. What
Louisiana. Hence i think 1t is better
to allow each state to pass just the
kind Of a guaranty deposit law 1t
wants. Then the national banks
should be allowed to participate.
IF congress refuses to take this ac-
ton, / do not think that the various
states should be thereby deferred from
taking action for the protection Of the
state banks. 1 certainly don't want
anything done to hurt national banks,
but at the same time, each state must
reserve the right to protect it's own
banks. This is bankers proposition.
No bank should be compelled to coma
under the provisions of the law, but
each bank should have an opportunity
to do so.
'I don't believe this will bring about
a very serious condition in Oklahoma.
The national banks will continue to do
business on the national plan, without
the benefits of the guaranty law, until
the next session of congress, when the

Mr.. Woodruff said:

KNIGHT PREFERS
TO SIT WITH TAFT
San Francisco's SpeIlbinder Does Not
Like Gen. Stone and Cuts Short
Proposed Speaking Tour
with Perkins

Having been invited by Chairman
Hitchcock to sit on the platform with
William H. Taft on October % in Madi-
son Square garden, George A. Knight
of California has Cancelled his speaking
engagements of that period and will
quit California in peeve.
This has embarrassed the state Re
publican committee some, as joint
trip with Senator Perkins had been ar
ranged for Knight.
Behind this move lies story.
Knight had told intimate friends it
is stated, that he regards the present
state committee as an aggregation of
''mummies and old women" his pet
aversion being Gen. George Stone,
whom the orator Is quoted as having
once called fossil"
Fortified with a bundle of invitations
from various national committeeman to
speak in their states, Knight served no
tice on the committee that If he was
drafted for the war here he would ac-
cept these invitations and desert.
The loss OF Knight was only one of
the disappointments suffered by the
Republican committee.
Senator Beveridge wired from Rose
burg, Ore, that he had broken down
and would cancel the Sacramento en-
gagement, but afterward was persuaded
to talk briefly
1t has been hinted that Senator
Beveridge's "breakdown" was not seri-
Gus and that it developed only after he
learned that he was billed at Sacra-
mento instead of San Francisco.

Many Votes
Especial to The Herald. ]

SANTA ANA, Oct. 14.-Local Demo-
Gratis who are in touch with the sit
uation over the district are daily re-
| ceiVing evidence that Lafayette Gill,
candidate for tie state senate, is gam
| ing strength, and unless something un-
foreseen happens before election day,
| he is assured of being elected. These
men estimate that Gill will poll the
full Del. -ocratic vote in Orange coun-
ty, amounting to nearly 5000, and VIII
| split the Republican vote with Estu-
| dillo about half, thus practically roll
ing up a majority equal to the full
| Temocratic vote of about 5000.
In Riverside, Estudillo will lose
many Republican votes, and conserva-
| tives on both sides are reported as
| figuring that the final result will be
an even break, although it is safe to
say that Estudillo viii have consid-
| erably the best of it in his home
county, where the normal Republican
majority is approximately 1900.
A feature of the Republican cam
paign thus far has been the gum
shoe" methods practiced by the can
didate for the state senate, as he visits
Santa Ana only in the evening and
late at night and with one notable
exception his departure has been taken
early in the morning of the following
day.
Estudillos attitude on the notorious
Abe Ruef change &C venue bill and his
| known affiliation with the Southern
Pacific machine have made him en-
emies that in this city alone, will take
500 Republican votes for him out of a
possible 1700
Estudillo has never addressed a pub
| lie meeting here, but one is arranged
for next Tuesday, when he, with Con-
gresham S. C. Smith, Governor Gill
| lett and possibly Frank G. Tyrrell OF
Los Angeles, will be the speakers.
The coming of Gillett, as sponsor for
Estudillo, will not strengthen matters,
however, and Attorney Tyrrelrs recent
prominence as Lincoln-Roosevelt
| league leader also will put him in an
unenviable position as an apologist for
the man from Riverside.
! Attorney Gill, on the other hand, has
made a close personal canvass of the
county and has made hosts of friends
| and is now holding a series of meet
| ings at which he is received most
favorably. Last night Mr.. Gill spoke
| at Huntington Beach and this after
| noon at Garden Grove. Tonight he
| will speak in Tustin, an Orange coun-
ty Republican stronghold that thi;
year will give the Democratic candi
date for the state senate a majorit!
of its votes.

citizens are being informed daily by the

Ralph Cameron has captured Cochise
