select me as your senator, this pledge
I make:
"T will serve you honestly and to
the best of my ability. I will devote
my time to your service, and will
stand for your interests as against the
interests of those who seek to plumber
you OF your earnings and deprive you
of your rights. 1 am a Republican
and ardently believe in the principles
of my party. I am proud of its
matchless history and glory in the
achievements Of the great statesmen
that 1t has given our country. 1t was
born to promote Justice and 1t is the
duty Of those upon whom the respon-
sibilities of this generation rest to do
their part to keep the party ever true
to the principle that gave it its birth.
This We can do by standing for the
things advocated by such progressive
leaders as Taft. Roosevelt LaFollette
and Hughes, and by sustaining them
in the fight they are waging for the
triumph of Righteousness in all the
departments of political life. But
while am an ardent Republican am
not an ultra partisan. I will cooper
ate with the members of any political
party in behalf of measures that are
for the best interests of my consti-
tuents. And now, with an abiding
faith in the ultimate triumph of the
principle for which we stand, not only
in Kansas but in the nation, I con-
| fidently await the verdict of the peo-
pie on August 4th.'"

day of August could cite many
other examples of rates just as in
iQuitous as those on wheat. 1t is
well known fact that on a number or
staple articles the freight from New
York to Kansas City is higher than
from New York to San Francisco.
kansas is in the center of the con-
tinent and every shipper and student
of transportation knows that the rates
have been constructed so as to secure
the largest possible revenue regard
less of the cost of the service. Be
cause our soil is rich and our annual
productions enormously large, the re-
suit of the energy of our people, the
highest rates have been imposed. and
INthis state instead of having a friend
in the United States senate to pro-
tect her has man who boldly and
defiantly announces that he proposes
to help perpetrate this ubiquitous
system under which we are now
burdened.
1.-The president of the United States
has protested against this system; the
interstate commerce commission de.
clares that it is wrong and has been
for years, but our representative in
the highest legislative body in the
land declares that he proposes to vote
to maintain it. The senator says that
there are special rates from the east
to the Missouri river that greatly help
Kansas.
wichita Illustration.
I'm your own city you have an illus
tration of the utter falsity of Senator
Longs position. The Yucca company
which started here has established a
branch house in Buffalo, N. Y, and
ships it's products from Buffalo to
Kansas City for distribution rather
than from Wichita. The rate on its
goods from Buffalo to Kansas City.
about LOO miles, is 10 cents per hun
dred, while the rate from Wichita to
Kansas City 226 miles, Is Sc cents per
hundred. The rates on their supplies
from points of origin into Buffalo are
so much lower than into Wichita that
| it makes it profitable for them to ship
from Buffalo to Kansas City instead
of from Wichita to Kansas City. Three
years ago this company did about 66
per cent of its business in Wichita;
now it does about 80 per cent of Its
business here. 1t finds it more profit
able on account of the freight rates to
ship it's goods to the Pacific coast from
Ruffalo rather than from Wichita. Yet
Senator Long has the amazing hardi-
| hood to stand before the people OF
Kansas and defend this system-a
| system that brushes like wise the
| struggling industries of his own state
and against which its people have

Long Votes Against Kansas"

IF, however, the amendment to the
Hepburn bill which was offered giving
the interstate commerce commission
authority to fix rates upon its own
motion. to correct injustice wherever
it found it, had been adopted, the
commission would have had power to
correct these rates.
This would have saved the wheat
growers of Kansas millions that they
pay annually for which they receive
no service in return. Senator Long
voted against this amendment. Now
let me ask, when the senator cast that
vote did he cast 1t in the interest of
the wheat growers Of Kansas or the
railroads that carry their wheat to
market? This is the question which
the people of wichita and Sedgwick
county are to help. answer on the 4th

THE NATIONAL PRoHIB1T1oNIsT

Christmas sales were larger than ever
before and more clerks had to be EN-
ployed to take care of the trade.
Mr.. J. F. Harbour, of the BASS &
Harbour" Furniture Company, one of
the largest concerns this side of New
York City, said their sales this Janu--
airy were much larger than January OF
last year; this, too, in spite of the finan-
cial trouble.
Mrs. Mellon, wife of the late T. P.
Mellon, of the Mellon Store, the largest
womens furnishing house in the city,
said their sales this January over last
January were $1,7OO. Attributes it to
Prohibition.
Mr.. Kroh of Frederickson & Kroh,
music dealers, said their sales were just
double those of last January.
One business firm was somewhat I'M
easy about the January collections this
January, on account of the money situ-
alton, but says collections were better
than ever, and that they were most
aereeably surprised. Gives Prohibition
the credit.
A real estate man, who did not favor
Prohibition, and who did not vote tor
it, in less than a month after ProhiDi-
ton carried was forced to acknowledge
that he was perfectly satisfied with re-
suits so far as his business was con-
cerned, and was convinced that the
adoption of Prohibition was the best
thing that could have happened to us.
Another real estate man says that
since Prohibition went into effect he mas
sold and rented property to as many as
ten persons who had come to Oklahoma
solely because we had voted out the
saloons. One of his customers had
brought with him 100000 which he had
deposited in Our local banks. This same
man said he had had no idea OF coming
TO Oklahoma until we carried Prohlb1-
ton, and then his wife says "That's the
place to raise our boys"
On January 81 and %, still another
real estate man made six sales, all OF
which were attributed to Prohibition.
A man who had been owing lumber
bill of 5000 for two years, and who had
been repeatedly called upon to please
remit" called at the office few days
AGO and paid the bill in full. This SO
surprised the clerk that he had to ask
the man what had happened. He an

A tailor told of customer OF his
who had been in the habit OF buying
his suits piece at time. One month
he would get the pants, next month the
coat, and so on; but since he was not
spending his money over the bar, he
was able to purchase the whole suit at
one time.
A certain gentleman of the city inter
viewed several men who had been rent
ing their buildings for saloon purposes
and found that in almost every case the
buildings had been released, and at a
higher rent.
We have heard of two former saloon
men who say they are making more
money now than when they were in
the saloon business.
These are only few instances of the
wonderful effect of Prohibition in our
city, but enough to show that lit pays"

BURNS MANAGER DECLARES
 THE PALMER REPORT FALSE

New York, May 10-(Special,) ,)-Blly Neail, manager of Tommy Burns, writes the Burns end of the argument with Jack Palmer
 ''This was - lie about the Palmer fight being fixed" says Neail ITO pulp fish such thing is a huge joke. The whole sporting world knows what Palmer is, and also that Tommy Burns is not trusting any one out of his sight with s25Oo. (The alleged Palmer letter said Burns handed him S250O to put up as a fake side bet) Tom balled Palmer out in Dublin for having a fellow there with him and they were both trying to bet on their finger, not expecting to pay, and MT. Fitzgerald of the Dublin syndicate, threw them both out. This is the only reason I can see for Palmer saying such unreasonable things-if he did. I could stop him myself, so why should Tom enter into any sort of an agreement with him? I would have known it if there had been any such thing-and I certainly didn't. I do know the story to be a lie.

GANS- -UNHOLz NEXT BATTLE
 THAT ATTRACTS ATTENTION
BY JEFF THOMPSON.

New York, May 1o-The next import ant battle in the prize ring scheduled is that in which Joe Cans will meet Boer Unholz. The bout is to be fought in San Francisco Thursday. The men are to go 20 rounds, and naturally the negro is a hot favorite. For long time I have made it rule not to prophecy concern ing any sporting event. I have seen too many sure things go wrong. l will ven- ture to say however that cannot figure this fight any other way than victory for Cans. It may go the limit. I would not be surprised if it did, but unless Joe has entirely lost his cunning he should so far outpoint the Boer that even a draw would be out of the ques- ton, and it must not be forgotten that Cans has a sleep-producinG punch about him. So has Rudolf for that matter, but am skeptical as to his ability to land it on the champion.

Atlanta, May 0.-(Special) l)-The cham pion baseball team of the south, to-wit, Atlanta. makes it's first appearance in the west since attaining that title on Wednes- day. when the Crackers open in Little Rock.
 The Atlantans play four games there. Then they move on to Memphis, Mobile and New Orleans in the order named, playing four games in each city.
 The Atlanta team of '0S has demon- strated that it can more than hold its own at home or on the road against the weaker eastern teams. The first real test comes during the next few weeks, how ever, when Bill Smiths men get a chance to show what they can do against real western opposition, and on the road at that
 The coming week will see the cutting of all teams down to the 15-men limits and an idea can then be gathered about the make-ups of the teams.
 The Atlanta team, now that it is shaken down about to it's regular lineup, is hard ly the youthful and inexperienced thing that it was when the full squad first re- ported As was prophesied, the kids have been pretty well thinned out and one player of mature age and experience-Ed Hurlburt-added.
 The average age of the players Bill Smith ordered to report in Atlanta was A years. The average age of the team that will, in the writer's opinion, represent Atlanta this year is 27 years-above the average.

 The international sporting feature of the week will be the championship round of the British court tennis tournament at the Queens club, London, next Saturday. In this event Jay Gould, the American and British champion, will defend his title against either V. H. Pennell or Eu- lastice H.

GAMBLING MANIA UNIVERSAL.
Russia Particularly Is In the Grip oi
 the Gaming Fever.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 It was not liquor alone or lack of dis cipline that defeated the Russians in their late war with Japan. One man at tributes the unpreparedness and utter ln- efficiency of the Muscovites to card play ing. Possibly he is right No game so saps the vitality of a player as persist ent poker or its equivalent. The poker fiend will pursue his chips until both money and credit are exhausted and body and mind are a wreck.
 We in America know what 1t is to sit up night after night at game of draw, fearing to lose and thirsting to win. The strain is awful The wages of the Rus sian soldier are practically nothing. He quickly loses them at fool, your-own- trump, three leaves, kings, windmill, etc, and when down and out doesn't care whether he obeys his bugle call or not the morning after.
 England is a gambling nation. America is fast becoming one. France has been in the lead for centuries, almost every public institution being founded on chance. All Russia is ready to play cards morn- ing. noon and night Shuffle, shuttle, shuffle and deal. The Emperor's whole court plays; the aristocracy plays to a man; the ladies of all grades fill up their time at cards.
 The shopkeepers sit for hours playing cards at the shop doors. The bargeman in his boat, the peasant in his hut, chill dren, young men, girls, all play cards. Many an estate changes hands in an evening. As many as 800 men, women and children and large property have been staked on a single game.
 I am not sure if Willis Russell ships more than 5000 pounds of cards annually to Russia or not He is the master card manufacturer and could tell wonderful story. hut he won't talk.

THE SPORTING CALENDAR
 FOR THE COMING WEEK

Wednesday the running horse races will be transferred to Belmont park. The feature event for that day will be the Metropolitan handicap, in which are en- tered some of the best stake horses in training.
 Tomorrow in New York will be held the annual meeting of the middle states regatta association, at which officers will be elected and course chosen for the regatta to be held September '. The senti- ment of the oarsmen apparently tends toward the selection of the Potomac river at Washington for this years races.
 A meeting of automobilists will be held in New York next Friday for the pur- pose of discussing and endeavoring to bring about a speed and endurance run from New York to San Francisco.
 This week the National league clubs of the east will invade the west, and the western clubs of the American league will play in the east.
