TAFT WAS AWAY.
Bryan Says That Is Only Excuse for
Last Years Panic.

Medina, N Y. Sept. 21.-Renew-
ing his campaign in New York state
territory william J. Bryan denounced
the record of the Republican party,
accused President Roosevelt of pur-
Joining Democratic ideas and owing
Mr.. Taft with being unable to effect
any reforms, and declared that
Democratic victory would do more to
coerce Republicans in congress than
any persasion that Mr.. Taft could
bring to bear IL a Republican victory
was achieved on that party's record.
Having travelled all night from
Albany a short stop was made in
Rochester between trains. Proceed
ing on to Buffalo, addresses were
made at Brockport. Holley. Albion
and at this place, where Mr.. Bryan
spoke from a platform in the school
campus 1t became evident from the
outset that President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Taft were to be made the objects
of Mr.. Bryan's attack. At Holly the
president was criticized for not en-
forcing the antitrust law against
many of the trusts.
This Is their record and they can
not escape from it," Mr.. Bryan said.
At Albion, the Democratic ,candi-
date made reference to Mr.. Taft's
lengthy absences from Washington,
while he was a member of the Roose-
welt cabinet and in that connection he
spoke of the panic of last fall. Ac-
cording to their own theory he main
tanned the Republicans could not es-
cape the responsibility for the panic
because it must be charged to the
president in power.
mot only did that panic come I'M
der the Republican president, who
picked out the Republican candidate
now running. but that Republican
candidate waa in his cabinet at the
time and was associated with the
president all the time when he was
away from Washington
Amid laughter Mr.. Bryan said that
the only way the Republicans would
be able to get that panic off Mr.. Taft's
shoulders would be to argue that the
president allowed it to come when Mr..
Taft was not there; that If Mr. Taft
had been there he could have pre-
vented it."
Mr.. Bryan also spoke of 'the old
Republican campaign slogan of the
full dinner pail" but said that that
was no longer their slogan or en-
blem.
Their new slogan is he said, cit
might have been worse"
The speech here was along similar
lines with some additional remarks in
which he answered several questions
put to him by the Chicago Tribune.

OFFICER DUNCAN's STATEMENT.
Discharged Because He Was n Friend
OF Jenkens. He Says.

Referring to his discharge from the
city police force Saturday evening F.
NJ. Duncan. who has been a member of
the police force of Topeka for six years
said: My discharge was caused by my
friendliness for Sergeant Jenkins who
was discharged two or three weeks
ago on statements made by two disre-
putable negro women.
Il was on duty at the station at
the time Jenkins alleged misconduct
occurred and 1 know that the charges
specified are untrue. 1 have repeated
ly made this statement to the men
working with me on the force and
suppose that Chief Eaton heard of my
statement. 1 have stated from the first
that I would tell the entire truth about
the matter though it cost me my place
as an officer.
II do not believe that because a man
is policemen that he should be asked
to perjure- his soul by his superior. and
while Eaton has said nothing to me
about this case I know what he did
when Sergeant Jenkins refused to tes-
tify as he wanted him to in a case
which came up a number OF months
ago.

ORGANIZE TAFT CLUBS.
First Voters VIII BE MarshaIled
Through State Committee.

A general movement for the organi-
cation of First Voters Taft clubs
throughout Kansas is now being made
by the Republican state central COM
mittee.
Each of the county chairmen in the
state has been requested to send to
state headquarters a list of all the first
voters in his county, together with the
probable politics of the voters and the
politics of his father. The county chair
man will organize the first voters into
Taft clubs, and see that they are sup
piled with the right kind of Republi-
can reading matter from state head
quarters. The state committee has Sc
cured a large supply of special buttons
for First Voters Taft league, and
these are being distributed through the
county chairmen.
Four years ago it is estimated that
there were 10000 first voters in Kansas,
it is said.

ASKED TO PAY UP.
Republican Committee Adopts Reso-
luton About Assessment.

"Re it resolved by the Shawnee
county central committee that the
nominees of our party for this county
vet delinquent in the payment OF the
assessments, be and are hereby cal It
unon in the name and interests OF the
Marty nominees, national, state ana
county to at once pay their assess
ments that the committee may meet
lust expenses of this campaign.
The above resolution was adopted
nv a unanimous vote at the meeting
of the Shawnee county Repuplcah
central committee at Its meetlng III
the West Sixth street quarters Satur-
day night. and was brought forth py
the refusal of a certain OF the county
candidates to pay their assessment for
camnaign expenses While no names
were mentioned at the meeting, II was
well understood that E. l.. y NELL
candidate for county commlssloner
for the second district, and >. l.. Zlm-
norman, candidate for county cleIh'
were the delinquent candidates re
ferred to, as they have not yet pald
their assessment for the alleged rea-
son that Reese VanSant Is chalrhhdh
of the county committee. There Is
a political fight between THESE can
didates and Mr.. VanSant that grew
ont of the old troubles between the
machine and insurgent Republicans.
The committee at this meeting APP
nroved of the levy made against the
county candidates by the eXecutiVe
Committee. This quarrel between
conntv candidates and the county
Committee is likely to bring little
profit to either side of the contro-
versy.
The committee also adopted
resolution instructing the executive
committee to make arrangements LOT
the Taft meeting here October 3. A
grand reception is planned for the
Republican presidential nominee IN
yitations will be sent out by the
Shawnee committee to national, state,
county and city officials, commlttees
ana Candidates all over the west to
come here on Taft day. The city OF
Topeka will be gaily decorated for
that occasion.

would bring it the control sParticul-
arly is the possibility-not entirely I'M
feasible when it is noted that the
states which contribute these close
districts are principally Indiana, Mis-
souri, and Kentucky, three states
which admittedly are open battle
grounds in the present campaign, and
three states in which a Bryan ma
iority might easily bring the much
coveted congressional advantage.
But it must be remembered that
while gaining these additional 20 Re
publican seats Democracy must hold
its entire present strength of 166
votes And there are even more dis
tricts in which Democrats were
seated two years, ago by narrow mar
gins than there are Republican. A
change of % votes in the Ninth Ohio
would seat a Republican, and what
are % votes in total of $4,000? A
change of 200 votes in the Sixth Ken
lucky, the Fifteenth Missouri, the
Seventeenth Ohio, the Fifteenth
or the Fifth Virginia would unseat
Democrats and thus mortgage the
possibility of their congressional SUI
premacy. A change of 800 votes
would unseat Democrats in the Third
Indiana, the Thirteenth Missouri, the
Sixteenth Missouri and the Second
Nebraska. A change of between 500
and 500 votes would send Republican
successors to present Democratic
congressman from the Fifth Illinois,
the Third Maryland, the Tenth
North Carolina, othe Second Okla
homa. the Fourteenth Pennsylvania,
the First Rhode7 Island. the Second
Minnesota, the Fourth Missouri, the
Eighth North Carolina, the Fifth
Ohio, the Sixth Ohio and the Third
Wisconsin, n. y
Study ofrthese figures is conducive
to the belief that a Republican house
though the figures are sufficiently close
to demonstrate that a landslide in
either. direction might win the much
sought control There are as many
close districts now Democratic as Re
publican, but the Democrats have this
advantage in regard to the close places.
