For a clear, comprehensive argu-
ment commend us to this from Mr..
Gtubbs's home organ, the Lawrence
World: when Jerry Botkin' the
Democratic nominee for governor
made the claim that Stubs speech at
Clay Center was but a repetition Of
what he had been standing for in po'-
itics for the last ten years, ne swePt
away the only practical reason in the
world why he should be elected the
next governor Of Kansas. II stuoOs
stands for the same things as he does
and will make the same laws that ne
intends to make, why turn down the
Republican party which has been
governing in Kansas since the heyday
Of Populism, and put in power new
party which will do but what the old
has pledged itself to in unmistakable
terms"

KANSAS PARTY COUNCILS MEET
IN TOPEKA AND ADOPT
THEIR PLATFORMS.

Republicans and Democrats Promise
lite Enactment-Dolly Heads Re-
publican Committee, Martin,
the Democratic.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 26-Tuesday
was organization day for the political
parties in Kansas. Party councils
were held, platforms adopted and
state committees organized.
Particular interest centered In the
Republican and Democratic parties &C
tons. Anticipating the swing Of ma
tional interest to Kansas when W. ].
Bryan comes here next Thursday to
speak on the bank guaranty deposit
law, the Democrats entered into cam
paign plans with enthusiasm. Great
confidence was expressed by the
speakers that Bryan will carry the
state this fall. John H. Atwood, chair
man Of the Democratic national
speakers committee, expressed the
greatest optimism over the outcome
not only in Kansas but in the United
States. He declared he had 327
speakers on his list to take part in
the campaign and that only seven
wanted pay above expenses.
That Kansas will have bank guar
anty deposit law is almost certain as
both the Democratic and Republican
party platforms include promise Of Its
enactment. A fight was made on this
plank in the Republican committee on
resolutions. When the platform was
presented to the council with this
plank, the only vote against It was
cast by Senator Chester I. Long. both
parties Endorsed the national plat
forms, declared for publicity of cam
paign contributions, in favor Of the
direct primary law and each to the
general principles Of its party.
The state committees Of the two
parties organized with the following
ofilcers Democratic: Henderson Mar
tin Of Marion, chairman; W. H. l..
Pepperill Of Concordia, secretary; F.
8. Thomas, treasurer. Republican:
Joseph N. Dolley, Maple Hill, chair
man; William T. Beck, Holton, sec
rotary; George M. Hull, Salina, treas
urer.

adopted at their state convention held
In April. and decided to let the state
officers hold over till such a time as

earned victory Of M. H. Reardon's In
dianapolis stallion, Allen Winter, at
the Readville track Thursday, thereby
capturing the largest share Of the $780,
900 American Trotting handicap from
the field Of S3 starters, is believed by
many Of the 10000 followers Of har-
ness racing who saw the contest to
establish new era in the history Of
the sport and insure its regeneration
In this country.
The race was novel In its conditions
which placed the horses at marks
from one-Quarter to three-eighths Of
a mile behind the usual starting point
on a handicap based on their previous
performances. and at the conclusion
It appeared to be the general opinion
Of all who saw the two preliminary
heats and the grand finale, that this
system Of racing would be popular IN
the future.
