the record which he made while Judge
or the district. There will be more
independent voters in Kansas this year
than ever before" said Judge Nichol-
son, and 1 believe that the state will
go Tor Bryan and the nominee of the
democratic party for governor.
Il was elected Judge of the Eighth
district twice by the combined votes
or the Democrats and Republicans
and feel sure that I will get as many
Democratic votes as I ever did and
more Republicans and from that
statement you can guess who I think
VIII be the next Judge of the Eighth
district.
But let's not talk about politics.
It's too hot and I hear enough about
that subject when am at home. The
question OF more Importance than any
other to US people of Council Grove
at the present time is: What are you
Topeka people going to do about the
Topeka & Southwestern railroad i?
Everybody along the line wants to see
the road built excepting a few near
Topeka who will receive more benefits
than any of the rest of u.s.
Everybody in Council Grove is for
the line and many of us have indicated
our faith by our work. and subscribed
for bonds and when the time comes
we will fulfill our part of the contract
to letter and there will be no delay
abput it either. The road would mean
a big thing for Council Grove and the
intermediate territory and furnish us
city. market easy of access.
THE way we are situated at the
present time we are compelled to get
most of our supplies in Kansas City,
though I am satisfied that we can do
as well or better right here in To-
peka. At any rate I am in favor of
patronizing a city which does its share
towards having our state taxes"

to Kansas about 40 years ago. settling
In North Topeka at the place which
has been his home since that time.
The peculiar eastern twang which he

more pretentious homes in North To-
peka and earned much of his popu-
larity among the young folks of a

a large barn In keeping with the size
of his home.
He fitted UP the second story of this

folks enjoy themselves

Only Straight Party Ballots at Coming

No, Gentle Annie, you can't 'cross
fire" in the coming primary election.
This is the gfst OF an opinion which
was written today by Assistant At
torney General John Dawson in re-
Spouse to a request from J.. ]. Nicholas
of Clyde, Kan. .s
Mr.. Nicholas wanted to know wheth-
err he could call for a party ballot. and
then vote for some candidate of an
other party for some office, by writing
in the name of the other candidate.
: That sort of thing will invalidate
ones ballot, according to Mr.. Dawson
and cause the whole thing to be re-
jected only Republicans can make
Republican nominations, and only
Democrats can make Democratic NOM
nations" says Mr.. Dawson. "A Re-
publican can no more help nominate a
Democrat than a Presbyterian could
help nominate Methodist bishop. II
a Republican has such a profound adj
miratfon for Democrat, he can vote
for that Democrat at the regular cleo
ton in November"

made
Many Of Longs friends were in ia
vor OF accepting the BrIstow PROPOSE
ton and meeting him in a series of
debates. There Is no uount that the
series of debates would attract great
attention. 1t would form a fitting eli
max to one of the hottest speaking
campaigns in the history of the state.
Long and Bristow have been hammer
ing each other hard, and have been
throwing all sorts of defiance back

give them chance to settle all their

ever disgraced the federal bench"
Stubs gasped. and replied:
Il am not conscious of ever having

pointment of any federal judge"

man." said Judge Monaghan to Mr..
Freeman. This is w. r. Stubs talk
