Bailey Today Announces Would
Accept Nomination
For Governor if rendered Him
by the Party.
FROM ALL FACTIONS
And From Every Part of the
State
Is He Importuned to Say He
Would Accept.

Atchison, Kan, Jan. lin an inter-
view this morning Ex-Governor Bailey
said:
Il do not desire to be candidate
for the nomination of governor in the
sense of making an aggressive fight for
the position. I have said many times
during the past four years that I con-
sidered I was out of active politics and
had no desire to again enter political
life, but during the past months there
has been presented to me a condition
that feel cannot ignore. I have been
importuned by Republicans from every
part of the state to say that 1 would
accept the nomination If rendered me
by the party, and these requests and
pledges have come from Republicans
representing every past factional diff
ference in the party.
up to this time 1 have not encour-
aged this sentiment, and on the other
hand have discouraged it, knowing that
to again enter public life meant a per-
sonal sacrifice on my part, but after
due consideration I have concluded to
say to the people of Kansas if the con-
vention On March tenders me the
nomination 1 will accept it and if elect
ed I will endeavor to so administer the
affairs of the office of the governor as
to reflect credit upon the state and will
recognize no faction in the Republican
party of the past, present or future"

BIRMINGHAM IS DRY.
Every saloon in the City Closed for
Good at Midnight.

Birmingham, Ala. Jan. with the
shrill shrieks of the hundreds Of
whistles cf industrial Birmingham an
nouncing the advent of the New Year,
every saloon IN the city closed it's
doors, sine die.
Last night was the time set for
prohibition to go into affect in these
counties of Alabama, in which local
option elections have been held dur
ing the year. There were exac actly
fifty counties of the state that closed
the doors of the saloons permanently.
This leaves seventeen counties in the
state in which liquor can be sold for
another year. One year from today
the entire state becomes prohibition by
statutory act. A remarkable feature
of the last day under the liquor regime
is the fact that there was less drunk
enness noted than for many months
At many places brandies and cham
pagnes were selling at half price and
even cheaper.
Many vans of liquor have been de-
livered to private residences, and
stocks on hand with the dealers are
small The larger number of the best
saloon locations in the heart of the
city have been rented, but many places
which bring 500 to $125 a month can
not be rented for half that amount.

Explosion in New Mexico Mine Re-

Albuquerque, Jan. AT least nine
miners were killed and three fatally
and two seriously injured in an ex-
plosion of gas and coal dust in the
Bernal mine at Carthage, Socorro
county New Mexico. one of the three
large coal mines owned by the Garth
age Fuel company. Nine dead bodies
have been taken out and although the
mine is still filled with gas, it is be-
1ieved that no more victims remain in
the workings. Among the dead is c.
L. Wilcox, an American mine boss.
All of the men had apparently been
killed instantly and some of the bodies
were mangled beyond recognition.
Carthage is a small town on a
branch line 90 miles from San An

railroad. The explosion shook the
country for miles around and several
of the bodies were blown clear out of

Bright and Warn, and Little Air
Stirring.

The new year opened bright and
warm in Topeka with a minimum tenn
perature of % and a clear sky with
oceans of pure unadulterated sunlight
The day is not an exception for this
part of the country when compared
with the last three years when the
tempera lures exceeded those of today
by several degrees. New Years day
in 1907 the minimum temperature
was 80, the preceding year 80 and the
year before 80, though the average
minimum temperature for the past 20
years is considerably below this point
There is hardly a breath of air
stirring and overcoats and winter
wraps are not in evidence to any great
extent, the high temperatures and
warm bright sunlight being conducive
of morning strolls without the handi-
cap of wraps of any kind. During the
past 20 years rain or snow has fallen
on New Years day on six different
occasions and in 1901 the temperature
dropped to two above zero and seven
and one-half inches of snow fell. The
