NEARLY 200 NAMES.
That Is What Appears on All Ballots
Today-Count Slow.

On the primary election ballots
which are offered to the voters today
the number of candidates varies con-
siderably.
The Republican ballot. which con-
tains nominations for all offices, has
from so to 20 names. depending upon
how many candidates are running in
different representative and commits
sioner districts. or how many candi-
dates there are for county precinct
committeeman in the precinct exam
ined.
The Democratic ballot, which Is
blank in a number of places because
of no nomination, contains from 4S to
SIS names.
The Socialist ticket gives the names
only of candidates for state offices and
congressman. There are 81 names on
the Socialist ballot.
The Prohibition ballot has nomina-
tions for &c places. there being no
congressional candidate offered.
This is a total of almost 200 names
to be counted.
1t takes the Republican voters a
good while to vote. for there are op-
posing candidates for almost every Of
flee. and on some of them the voter
has to stop and make up his nina az
ter he gets into the booth.
In counting the votes there Is hkeiy TO
be even more delay than in general
election, for there will be no straight
ballots" to lay into neat piles and taily
with one stroke of the pen. In the
cities it is likely that most OF the
counting will be completed by midnight.
A few of the big precincts VIII pc later
than that no doubt. BY Wednesday
morning it ought to be possible to tell
definitely how Shawnee county goes.
Definite returns from over the state
will not be coming in much until a1ter
midnight, and 1t is beneVed tnat the
result Of the election can not be ac-
curately stated until Wednesday after
noon.

BORN iWiTK)YT BRAINS,
An Infant Lives Nearly Two Days in
That Condition.

New York, Aug. 4--As refutation
Of the axiom that no human being can
live without brain. the physicians of
Bellevue hospital are citing the case of
Marie Giacomo. who died at the in
stitution last night, at the age of 40
hours. An autopsy revealed the fact
that she had come into the world
practically brainless.
The child when seven hours old was
taken to the hospital by her father,
Leonardo Giacomo. He sid that he
had brought the child for treatment
because there was something wrong
with it's head.
When the child was unwrapped
from voluminous cloths it was a start
ling sight It's head was almost fat
on top and it's eyes stood out from
their sockets. 1t was however. breath
ing normally and cried as an ordinary
infant does. Unlike most infants less
than a day old. it took nourishment
greedily.
1t was thought at the hospital that
the shape of the child's head was a
malformation and that possibly the
soft bones of the skull would respond
to a slow moulding process that would
restore the head to a normal shape.
1t was not dreamed that the infant
was wholly without brains.
Last night, however. the child died,
while it was being fed. There was
nothing to indicate approaching death
and no struggle. Simply the infant
ceased to breathe. An autopsy re-
cerebrum, that was scarcely more
than an indication, the infant had alb
soluteIy no brain. The doctors de-
clare that there is not another case of
a human being living without a brain
known to science.

most of the representative and sena-
torial districts in the Fifth. Sixth and
Seventh districts, which are the vest
ern Kansas districts. He will surely
get a good bunch OF supporters in the
Fourth and Eighth districts He will
pick up a number In the Second. and
possible a few in the First and Third.
The result Of the senatorial election
seems to hinge on the outcome in the
Sixth and Seventh districts There
are sixty senators and representatives
from the Sixth and Seventh districts
districts is less than 250,000 The total
number of representatives and sem
ators in the state is 165 and the total
population 1.650.000. These two dis
tricts therefore have 15 per cent of the
population and about 36 per cent of
the members of the legislature. Both
candidates have been making q hard
fight to control those districts.
Last night both the Stubbs and Le-
land people finished up their campaigns
by automobile tours of Topeka The
Stubbs people had drum corps and
negro quartette along, and the Leland
crowd Travelled with Jackson's band
and Quartette.
The Stubbs people covered the most
ground. and held meetings in a dozen
different places. from the extreme west
ern edge of town to North Topeka
Oakland and Kansas avenue. At every
meeting a crowd of from 200 to 500 was
present. -
The Leland crowd, which was made
up entirely Of local politicians headed
by Bert Lucas, visited Tenneseetown
South Topeka, and Kansas avenue.
Stubbs accompanied the Stubbs cara
van. and made a speech at each STOP
ping place, urging people to get out
and vote at the primary today.

He Announced Yesterday Afternoon
That He Would Again Serve
the League If He
Was Elected.
MEANS JOY FOR THE FANS
He is the Best Leader in the Country
and the Central Association is
Justly Proud of
Him.

President M. E. Justice, known in
higher base ball circles as one of the
most capable minor league presidents
in the country, announced yesterday
afternoon that he would again be a
candidate for reelection to the office
which he now holds. This news comes
at the close of long and earnest ses-
sion between the directors of the Keo-
kuk Base Ball association, President
Justice and the members of the firm
in which he is interested That the
news will be received throughout the
Central Association with much JOY is
certain, and the fact that Mr.. Justice
will again lead the league to a place
of high standing throughout the coun-
try is almost certain.
The reason for Mr.. Justices refusal
to again serve as president of the Cen
trail Association was purely bust
ness one. His increasing duties of his
own private business were such that
he felt he could not do justice to the
position of president. 1t is found that
the duties Of the presidency are also
increasing and Mr. Justice feels that
he will need a clerk to assist him in
the clerical work during the busy
months of the league. That the league
will grant him money to employ such
an assistant is certain and With this
difficulty disposed of there will be no
obstacle in the way of his reelection
to the office.
A review of the work of M. @. JUS
tice since he has taken the reins of
the Central Association is not neces-
sary, as it is we'll known to every fan,
manager, magnate and other persons
interested. he has served the league
in a manner that can hardly be fully
appreciated and it can be said that
he is the logical man for the place.
His work has been fair. square and inn
partial in matters of great Importance
as we'll as In minor matters concern
ing the league and his decision thus
far have been good ones.
