Richland Meeting Is Success
in Numbers.

In closing his campaign in Shawnee
county, D. r. Anthony, congressman
from the First district, told the Rich
land voters that they need not be sur
prised if the country named a Demo-
cratic house, at the election next Tues
day. Anthony attributed the trouble to
INSCRIPTIONS demagogues and m1Srep-
reservations of the press.
Il am not so sure declared Anthony
in his discussion of the speakershlp
and house rules fight, but that we are
going to have a-Democratic house; ana
you can bet Champ Clark is too sharp
a man to give away any of his author
ity in the house."
While discussing the charges made
by his opponent concerning various
votes, Anthony said, L am glad to say
that every one of my votes down there
in Washington has been in accord with
the party principles of the First Kansas
district; and l know that every one OF
my votes has been in accord with Pres
ident Taft, whose name will go down
in history as the greatest law making
president we have ever had.
Before the Richland meeting, An
thony climbed sin an automobile and
went two miles in the country to see
D. c. Vannice, who was crippled and
could not attend the meeting. Vannice
had presided at the McNea1 meeting
last summer and expressed a desire to
meet Anthony. The First district rep
resentative spent a half hour with the
crippled man, returning to town in time
for the public meeting.
About fifteen Topeka people attend
ed the meeting. The party was enter
tanned at the home of Vic Costa, pre-
cinct committeeman, whose wife had
prepared a big duck supper for the
politicians. Costa presided at the
Richland meeting. The Richland band
furnished music.
Dr. L. A Ryder, chairman of the
Republican county central committee,
urged the necessity of a strong perma-
county. He discussed the campaign
from the standpoint of the committee
and said: I'VE have not spent one
penny for cigars, whisky and key par
ties and have refused to furnish car
riages or automobiles on election day.
If the people of Shawnee county want
to vote, they will have to walk to the
polls.'
Short talks were made by Al Bower,
Judge E. R. Simon, S. G. Zimmerman
and Robert Tasker.
Capt. Joseph G.. Waters of Topeka
talked at Harveyville and EskridgeWed-
nesday afternoon andnight before last.
He spoke of the new regime in Kansas
politics and traced the political Situa-
ton from eight or ten years ago to the
present time. He declared that condi-
lions now are superior to those or ten
years ago and that the changes have
been for the benefit of Kansas and
Kansans. When report of the meet
| ing was telephoned to Chairman Dolley
of the Republican state committee it
was said that the Fourth district is al
most entirely in favor of Stubs.
Senator G. H. Lamb, of Yates Center,
one of the conservative Republicans
who were rabidly against Stubs in the
primaries, spoke at Altoona Wednesday
| and declared strongly for Stubs, say
ing that though he had tried to help
to defeat the governor in the primaries
he accepts the mandate of the people S
choice and feels that every Republi-
| can should do likewise
