Oakland Republicans had their in

rally which was of rather monster
proportions considering the size of
Iopeka's near neighbor to the north
east, and which is ever noted for
Its quietude except when politics are
stirring and then it becomes about the
noislest and most excitable locality in
the state. Preceding the rally which
was held in tho brick hail."

Stubs, the Republican candidate for
governor; w. F. Schoch. the Repub-

Republican candidate for county com
missioner, there was a torchlight ma
rrade headed by the Oakland Cornet
band under the leadership of Jesse
Smelser- This band comprises TWEEN
V-rour pieces and although it was
only organized last spring and it's
personnel generally is made up of
young men, it is a really meritorious
musical organization, and ita good
playing last night was not bv anv
m cans the least enjoyable feature of
the occasion. A couple of hundred
men men were in parade. each carrying
flaming torches.
And as the parade wendell it's wav
through the heavily tree-lined streets
OF the town the picture presented was
weird pretty one. There was plenty
OF real old-fashioned enthusiasm at the
rally and Mr.. Stubs was given a fine
reception by the crowd which filled the

cared that the Republican candidate
Ior governor would poll the greatest
vote on election day that has ever been
gwen TO a gubernatorial candidate in
Kansas. All of the Republicans in Oak

the great success that it was but none
OF them apparently had more to do with
II than Mr.. Clyde Sloan. who was
pusler with multitude of activities
than the proverbial bee.
