SMITH TO CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA
Congressman Brings Good Reports
from Kansas.

from Kansas.
Congressman Walter 1. smith, who re-
turned Sunday from a weeks campaigning
in Kansas. left last evening for Indiana,
where he will put in a week speaking. On
his return he will give one week to speeches
outside his own district and the last two
weeks he will devote to the Ninth district.
Congressman Smith looks for a big re-
publican majority in Kansas. kansas
will return about the same majority for
Taft as 1t returned for Mckinley in 1904"
said Mr.. Smith. while the people appear
to be interested in the campaign, there Is
no greater political excitement there than
in this state. Kansas has eight members
OF the lower house OF congress and they
are all republicans. Indications are that all
Of the districts in the Sun Flower state
will elect republicans again this year.
There is not much of a cry for a change
in Kansas, for they are getting rich out
there. Their advances in this respect are
greater than they have been here in Iowa,
for their land was cheaper and the profits
have been greater"
Congressman Smith said the Taft train
reached Kansas before he left the state,
but he was in another portion and there
fore was unable to say what the effect
Of Mr.. Taft's visit was.

stone-wall passenger rate which the
Western railroads have maintained ev.

whacking at the revenues derived
from this branch of the business has
gone to smash. Hereafter reduced
rates willsbe made and will be as low

or please Constituents"
Notice has been given by the Rock

grant reduced rates for merchants
meetings, to be held in Chicago or
elsewhere, is voted down, independent
action Will be taken by them. 1t Is
stated that, after vainly striving with
tkeyother roads, to maintain two cents
as a. minimum passenger rate in Yves
tern territory they have decided thai
1t cannot be done and will, therefore
make a rate OF one and one-half cents
for the round trip for merchants
meetings, when so requested. This
decision will apply to Chicago. New

eph. and Omaha.
The Western Passenger association
