THE COMMISSION PLAN.
Commercial club Committees Working
Hard for 1t.

A meeting of the municipal legisla-
ton committee of the Commercial club
will be held tomorrow noon, when plans
will be formulated for definite action in
regard to pressing a vigorous campaign
to inform the people Of Topeka in re-
gard to the facts of the commission
plan. The advocates of comission gov
eminent claim that their cause is gain
ing in strength daily. A number of
business men who were holding back on
account of not thoroughly understand
ing the ms and outs Of this form OF
city rule have been converted to the
idea and are now among the most ac-
tive workers for the cause. J. B. Lart-
mer, chairman of the Comercial clubs
municipal legislation committee, has
appointed four subcommittee to look
after the details of the campaign. The
duties of these committees were outlin-
ed in the Fridays issue of the State
Journal. At the meeting of the COM
mittee tomorrow noon the chairmen OF
the subcommittee will report in re-
gard to the work they accomplished.
Arrangements will be made for hold
ing meetings at various convenient
places throughout the city, and posi-
bly, a mass meeting at the Auditorium,
and the distribution of literature
among the voters. The campaign will
be conducted just as though the COM
mittee was expecting that strong OPP
position campaign will be waged, and
the Importance of every person getting
out at the polls to vote will be en-
phasized.
According to Eelection Commissioner
Titus the registration to date has been
extremely slow. AS the polls close on
October % it will be necessary to give
the matter of voting attention before
much time has elapsed or 1t will be too
late. There are many people who do
not fully comprehend the system of
registration. Those who did not vote at
the general election last spring will find
it necessary to re-register at this time
as their names have been struck off of
the registration lists. The vote last
spring was but slightly more than 5000
or less than half Of those who are en-
titled TO vote

INFANTiLE PARALYSIS.

Has Topeka a malady of infantils
paralysis? sl
This question is puzzling Topeka as
two deaths which occurred last week,
and whose funerals were held yester-
day, were attributed to this disease. A
child one year old, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Donne of III Locust street,
and an infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Ligman of 205 North Chandler
were the victims. The two children
were i'll but a few hours. and both died
about the same time.
The physicians in charge both dag
nosed it as sumner collie, and this is the
likely solution. On account of the sud-
den death, the parents in each instance
fear that 1t might have been the dread
infantile paralysis which is causing a
large number of deaths in northwest
Kansas.
DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board OF health, who is the only
authority on infantile paralysis in To-
peka, has not investigated the condl-
lions and as yet as he can find no one
who is in position to know. DR.. Hoge-
boom, city physician will look into the
matter and determine If possible
whether the two deaths were due to
cholera infantum, or to the infantilo
paralysis.
