THE PRIMARY BALLOT.
Attorney General jackson Explains 1t to
Kansas Voters.

That lot of independent votes
may be cast in this years direct
primary, is made evident from
the receipt of a great many let
ters by the attorney generals
Office as to the right of persons
to become candidates for Office
who are not members of any po-
litical party. Inquiries are alsobe-
ing made as to the use of blank
spaces, and of the blank ballot
itself.
Attorney General Jackson has
made a general reply covering
all of these questions and direct
ed it to D. w. Blaine, a member
of the legislature from Pratt
county, who declared that there
is an aggregation of independent
voters in his county"
The opinion states that the
blank lines of the Republican
ticket are for the convenience of
Republicans who are not salts
fed with any of the candidates
who are printed on the Republi-
can ballot, so that they may
write the name of other Republi-
cans on the ballot It is pointed
out that township offices neglect
may be the reason for names ap-
pearing on the ticket. He also
thinks that a great number of
Offices, even on the big party
ticket may be vacant. For all
such spaces the blank space was
provided. This applies to all
parties.
It was asked whether a Demo
GRAFT who is dissatisfied with the
candidates of his party can vote
for a person who is running for
the same Office on the RepubE-
can ticket To this a negative
reply is given. Where a person
is nominated on two tickets, he
would have to choose on which
ticket he will run.
Directly regarding indepen
dent candidates Iackon said:

leIaRd's Soldier Record.

A Kansas Soldier" in the To
peka Capital: Again, Cyrus
Leland of the Tenth Kansas, is
another soldier who won his
spurs on the field of battle and
richly deserves a Medal of Hon
or In fact, every officer and
soldier of that regiment should
have been so honored General
~ in the western army the caval-
ry would open the battle and
sometimes they would have it
red bot until the infantry and ar
tillery reached the field. All
Kansas regiments always did
their duty and could be relied
upon under any and all circum-
stances, but when the old Tenth
would swing into line with her
usual steady step, and open up
on the enemy, everybody within
hearing of her guns knew that
somebody was getting nurt. Cy
Leland was then a young officer
IN that regiment, and though
modest as d school girl he was
brave as a lion. At the battle of
Prairie Grove, especially, he dis
tinguiShed himself and won the
admiration OF his men and super
ior officers. Later he was on
general Ewing's staff, and when
Quantrell made his raid on Law
renee, Leland was sent with a
small detachment of cavalry to
overtake and reinforce Major
Plumb. He anticipated the di-
rection that Quantrell would
take on leaving Lawrence, and
instead of following Plumb he
moved across the country and
struck Quantrell at the crossing
of Ottawa creek in Franklin coun-
ty. At once they were fighting,
and Leland with his light regl-
ment of about thirty men hung
on Quantrell's fanks and rear
throughout the afternoon and
prevented him from numbering
ing the farmers and burning
their houses and barnes. The
people of Kansas, and especially
the settlers along Quantrell's
line of retreat, never fully realiz-
ed the debt of gratitude they
owe to Cy Leland. For six long
hours he fought with handful
of men against tremendous odds
and saved the lives and property
of many people. Yes, he is en-
titled to Medal of Honor both
from state and the United States. -

Miss Eva Philbrook who is the
first to announce herself as cand-
idate for the office of county SUI
perintendent in this issue of the
World is too we'll known to the
people of this county to need an
introduction. Miss Phillbrook
is a Kansas girl, having been
born in Washington county, also
has received her education in
this state. In 1899 she gradual
ed from the State Agricultural
college having taken the scien-
tific course at that place, and in
1899 graduated from the State
Normal school having completed
its English course giving her a
life certificate. Miss Phillbrook
has been a teacher in the public
schools for the last nine years,
three of which have been spent
in the WaKeeney school, and all
are aware of her decided success
in this capacity. During the
past year she has served on the
examining board and her work
in this line has not only been very
efficient but very satisfactory as
well. With Miss Phillbrook' IS
high moral character, her excel
lent training, her experience and
her exceptional qualifications,
we feel that the people of Tregc
county could make no choice OF a
candidate for this important of
flee that would in every way
prove as satisfactory to the pub
lie interest as to choose Miss
Phillbrook.

by the use of the blank ballot,
and the other by circulating pc
titions as heretofore under the
Australian ballot law. The ad-
vantage of the blank ticket plan
is that an aggregation of indie
pendent voters, such as you say
you have in Pratt county, may go
to the polls on the primary cleo
tion day and put out an entire in
dependent ticket by using the
blank tickets. The persons re-
ceiving the highest number of
votes on such blank ticket will
become Independent candidates
for the Offices for which they
were nominated, and their names
will be printed in the indepen-
dent column of the Australian
ballot at the general election.
The primary law especially saves
the right of citizens to secure
places on the general election
ballot at the November election
by circulating petitions for indie
pendent nominations as hereto
fore under the general statutes.
Such persons may entirely ig-
more the primary election.

"A great many people regard
Cyrus Leland as a safer, better

lived in the same town with
Reeder. We knew him before
we saw the blessed sunlight of

the days when it kept US
busy with club keeping the
wolf from scratching the paint
off our door. We know the kind
of a man he is in his everyday
life We know his sterling in
tegrity in business matters; we
know of his pure and simple
heme life; we know that he helps
the needy and supports his
church. We know that when one
of his tOwnSmen repoSeS conf

betrayed or forgotten. Bill
Reeder is very plain man. He
is made of common clay, but his
heart is honest and his motives
pure. He has not been swelled
up by official honors or corrupt
ed by politics. Reeder has al
ways been a consistent Republi-
can. He Loyalty supported the
administration of President Nc

We knew that as long as Reeder

boom to university boating on the Pa

has passed between the authorities, an
extensive correspondence has been car

of the regular season Stanford and Cal

mile regatta will be rowed between the
same three crews over a course at
the Alaska Yukon exposition. In ad-
dition to the varsity race in the north
there will be a two mile race for the
freshman crews of the three colleges.
Several minor financial matters must
be settled before the contracts are for

that when the university opens for the

FANS AWAIT ACTION
BY NATIONAL
COMMISSION
Ewing VIII Attempt to Lessen
Prestige of the California
State League
By T. p. M Magilligan

Just what bearing the meeting of the
National commission, which convenes
in New York January 4. win have on
the local baseball situation remains to
be seen. but local fans are awaiting
the outcome of this gathering with
Keen interest
So far as organized baseball is con-
cerned. the National commission is its
highest tribunal and court of last re-
sort. August Garry Hermann of Gin
cinnati is president of the commission.
while Harry Pulliam, president of the
president of the American league, are
members
Ewing's presence at the meeting will
be for the purpose of formulating plans
to lessen the prestige of the State
league in California, and to learn how
the moguls of organized baseball in
tend to deal with the so called outlaws
of this state.
No matter what action the commits
sion takes regarding the California
state league. President Hermann of the
latter organization says that he will
be able to meet 1t and deal successfully
with it.
Right now we are waiting to see
what the meeting in New York viii
do" said Hermann last night. We will
not hold our meeting until about the
middle of January and at this meeting
We will formulate all plans for the
coming campaign
Our annual meeting will decide
whether or not we will have a team
and park in San Francisco. 1t all de-
pends on what the National commission
does. There is one thing certain, how
ever, and that is that the State league
proposes to put team of the classiest
players in either Oakland or San Fran
cisco that either city has had for years
AT our meeting we will also decide
what cities will comprise our circuit
next year. We are now contemplating
putting a club in Los Angeles, but
whether we will carry this plan out or
not will not be known until the officials
of the league have gone over the
ground thoroughly II we take in Los
Angeles, Alameda will be dropped. The
State league will be composed of eight
clubs, but | do not know what cities
will be in the organization.
If the National commission gives
the Coast league, or any other league,
the right to prey on us and take our
players without compensation, we viii
meet them on their own ground and
retaliate in kind. We are not looking
for trouble. but if the organized base
ball men thrust 1t on us they will find
us ready to meet them more than half
