there is no doubt in my mind. although
it is little early 70 talk about that at
this time" continued Mr.. Kennedy.
Sherman will make a first-class Vice
President. and all the talk about the
platforms being Roosevelt or re-

There is absolutely no doubt in my
mind as TO the success Of the Taft
ticket"
Elmer Dover, secretary Of the Repub-
lican National Committee. who is regis
tered az the New Willard. said last night
that he had absolutely no idea who would
be the chairman Of the Republican Ma

after which he would return to this city

Mr.. Perkins is a prominent business man
OF ST. Joseph. and has been in New York
on business. and made up his mind TO see

Of beating Taft. Bryan will never turn

NO more harvest hands are needed 20
gather the Kansas wheat crops" said
Jackson J. Herring. a grain broker OF
Kansas City. at the Raleigh last night.
With little effort, the necessary quota
Of 10000 men 10 gather the wheat crop
was secured this year. about half that
number coming from outside States, and
Kansas itself furnishing the rest. The
ready response Of hands is due TO the
large number of unemployed workers.
Usually calls for help are sent out about
July i, and sometimes even later. The
calls from the wheat centers ceased this
year on June 20. and instead Of appeals
for help are coming messages that enough
men are on hand
The condition is anomalous in the
wheat-harvesting history OF the State in
recent years. This year no tales are
coming from Kansas towns in the wheat
belt Of farmers waiting at the stations
and fighting over men; of Offering them
big wages Of literally kidnapping them
for their farms. Even though the wheat
crop is somewhat decreased. the decline
is not at all responsible for the ease in
securing men. The harvest IS also on
time. / can only account for IL by the
fact that there are lots Of people out OF
work. Last summer Ii was mighty hard
work 20 get men for any kind OF work
but this year that IS not true.

have a mighty good chance"
