be in part to see to the removal OF I'M
slightly poles, lettering fences and
other inartistic eyesores which prove
such bad advertising for live town.
Let US suppose for example that
am here tonight to simply present the
annual report of work accomplished
by the advertising commission ap-
pointed by the mayor from the mem
bership of the AID club. My report
follows:
eve have solved the problem of
lighting our business streets and you
all know how we'll this has advertised
Topeka and how this capital city is
now the envy of every city of equal
size throughout the west. The story
of these beautiful clusters of lights
every fifty feet along both sides of our
business streets is told by travellers
passing through and by our citizens
when away.
I'VE convinced the city fathers that
the black poles sticking up in our
thoroughfares were mighty bad adver-
now down and the electric wires under
ground.
Our commission has been dubbed
the tin can commission around the
city hall because we made a kick be-
| fore the council about .the tin cans
| found in the alleys. We notice, how
| ever, that the smoke inspector and all
other inspectors are doing their duty
| since we have been reporting so much
| bad advertising resulting from their
| oversight.
I'VE worked out a model bill board
ordinance and got it passed. This, as
you know prevents the erection OF
boards over eight feet high or nearer
the street than fifteen feet with air
| spaces beneath and the advertising
commission has the free use of 10 pei
cent of all the space erected to boost
the city of Topeka. You and every Wis
| itor within our gates has had the adj
vantages of our city and state drilled
| into them by these striking signs. You
have been able to go out into the world
and tell good things about Topeka
which you did not know before such as

Here's New Way to
Decorate Your Home

You can make your home attractive at
very little cost if you'll follow the exam
pie set by numbers of women In this city.
You can make it bright, 30 that it will
have always a clean, fresh, sweet look
By laying new inoleums on your
floors and then giving it a coating OF
Linoleum Lustre, which will keep the
floor covering fresh for years, preserving
the coloring and pattern and increasing
the wearing qualities so that it will last
indefinitely, your home will always have
fastidious appearance
If the iinoIeum oil-cloth now on your floor
is faded and worn in spots and the briliiancy of
co. oring lost, Linoleum Lustre will restore It's
original freshness and make it wear ten times
as long
1t is not like varuish. Not sticky Does not
crack. Mops easily. A child can apply IT. II

as the advertising and copy depart
ment for the best advertised state in
the Union it seems to be that the To-
peka Ad club should work hard to
instill the germ of advertising into the
system of every citizen large or small.
The very air should TEEN with ad-
vertising when one enters Topeka.
ITO my mind there is no way to
more quickly advertise the city than
to evolve a plan whereby the club
would have municipal suggestion

The committee could work first to
have the city council pass an
ordinance creating an advertising
commission to be appointed by the
mayor from the ranks of the AID club.

city employees, but the Lippman forces
are insisting that they be held to their
pledges.
The Lippman forces have a majority Of
those who regularly attend the American
party PRIMARIES, and unless the Bransford
people develop a new strength he viii
capture the nomination in the primaries
The rift in the party is becoming wider
each day and no matter which candidate
wins the nomination he is sure to be
knitted at the polls by the supporters Of
the other candidate.
The feeling Of opposition to the Amer
lean party ticket is carried out by all Of
the candidates for the MINOR offices. For
attorney there is a three-cOrnered fight
between City Attorney II. G. Dininny, G.
r. Goodwin and George Jay Goodwin.
This fight like that for the mayOralty
nomination, is becoming bitter. Friends of
Rudolph Alff city auditor, declare that
the Inner circle is sacrificing him for J.
Shand Smith, while J. d. Hagerman is
cOmplicating things by making strong
fight for the nomination.
Throughout the city in almost every
ward there is bitterness in the council
manic fights that will result disastrOusly
to the party. Even in the Fifth ward,
the stronghold of the American strength,
the fight between Councilman T. r. Black
and NJ E. Mulvey for the councilmanic
nomination has caused a split in the party
that presages its end.

RIFT WIDENING
CounGilmaniC Contest in Sec
ond Ward, Lippman'S
Stronghold.
FIGHT is WAXING BITTER
EACH DAY THE FIGHT GOES ON
THE PARTY WEAKENS.

In the Second ward, where the bulk OF
the Lippman strength lies in the cam
paign for the American nomination for
mayor, there is a pretty fight between
Councilman Z. G. O. Donnell and William
Pickering. Mr. O'Donnell is an avowed
BransfoTd man, and so informed Nh
LippmaR a few days ago. Thereupon
Lippman brought out Pickering as a can
didate for the COunCilmaniC nomination IN
opposition to Mr.. ODOnnel.
MIR. Pickering is the president of the
Carpenters union, and the vote Of the
ward is largely that of the labOring men,
so that the indications are that Mr.. O'DOn-
nell has A pretty fight on his hands. In
addition to the labor vote Of the American
party which viii be for Pickering in this
ward, and through his influence for Lipp-
man. there are a great number Of Second
ward voters who are opposed to Brans-
ford because Of his creation Of the motor
ioUs west side StOCkade, which TIE people
Of the Second ward, with the assistance
of the county authorities, put out Of eX-
istence.
The feeling between the Lippman and
Bransford supporters is becoming tense,
and the bitterness engendered will un-
dOubtedly be carried to the polls. Lipp-
man began his campaign four mouths ago,
and at that time secured pledges Of
support from practically every city en-
ploye. The police force was solid for
Lippman. Recently, however, there have
been signs Of wavering on the part of the
