WHITE SAYS KANSAS is FREE.
Cannon and Aldrich Have Been Shak-
en-, Ayers Emporian.

Emporia. Kan, Aug. 4.-William Al
len White says in the Emporia Gazette
anent the Insurgent victory:
THE fight to free the Republican
party of Kansas from the domination
OF the great business interests of the
east is won. The fight was won on the
moral side of the tariff issue.
Little else was discussed. Little else
interested the people. When Bristow,
Murdoch, Stubs and Cummins talked
the people of Kansas they turned
out by the acre. When Senator Curtis
and the standpat congressman tried to
make Taft the issue, the people turned
away Taft was dragged into this fight
as shield for his friends. He was
battered down unnecessarily in order
to rebuke those who sought to
hid blind him. His share in the
defeat is none the less humiliating be-
cause his friends, those whom he con-
suited and favored in Kansas matters,
SelhShly brought his name into the
contest. The men ignored Taft. His
name was not mentioned in any way
by those who were making the insur-
gent fight. But the standpatters from
governor down to congressman said: "A
vote against us is a vote against Taft
So the people voted against the stand
patters and let the inference go where
it would. This is unfortunate, but Taft
has his cowardly friends. who hoped to
conjure with his name, to thank for
the result of the issue.
Elm the state matters the result is the
same. Senator Curtis and his machine
were looking for trouble. They faxed
up tax issue that any child could see
in moment was pure jugglery of
words and figures. Curtis lined himself
up behind Taft's coat tails, brought
out candidate for governor, poured
thousands from the big interests into
Kansas, made the issue squarely be-
tween himself and Stubs, and Stubs
won by an overwhelming majority. 1t
was Curtis who dragged Taft into 1T.
It was Curtis who said that a vote for
Stubs was a vote against Taft, and
thu people accepted that issue and
nearly doubled Stubs majority of two
years ago. But Taft was not the issue
in this fight. The rebuke for him was
merely political-not fundamental The
Issue was the tariff-the moral side OF
the tariff.
1.-THE newspapers more than any
other one agency won this fight for a
free state And now Kansas joins the
ranks of the free states that have re-
pudiated Cannonism and the domina-
ton of Aldrich. In the whole west not
a Republican state convention has IN
dorsed the Payne-Aldrich bill Kansas
viii not. Kansas is free. The Repub-
lican party is free. We are now free
men in Kansas, ready with the old
Kansas spirit to serve free, progress
sive country"

TRAVELLERS 10 AID HODGES.
Democratic Nominee for Governor Is
Former 'Knight of the Grip

Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 4.-State
Senator George H. Hodges, made
Democratic nominee for governor at
the primaries, already has one active
force behind him that may go a long
ways towards making him the next
executive of Kansas-the support of
the travelling men.
This support. which promises not to
be confined wholly to Democratic and
independent travelling men, is gained
through the very favorable impression
made by the Olathe senator on the
knights of the Grip" in whose ranks
he Travelled some ten years.
Il believe George Hodges will be
elected" Frederick A. Finneran of
Kansas City Kan, said today. His
selection yesterday came virtually
without dissension. His record in the
state senate will prove conclusiveiy
that he is a CONSTANT and devoted fol-
lower of the sort of policies that serve
the best interests of Kansas. Surely
we travelling men of Kansas need make
no apology in pushing one of our num-
Der to the front as an ideal governor
~Ilen he has the qualifications OF
Hodges"
The travelling mems organizations, 1T
is said will not take part in the cam
paign, that activity being left to the
individual members.

JAMES sNEED VISITS SALIVA.
Father of Kansas Herd Law Had Not
Been There Since 1856.

Salina, Kan, Aug. flames Sneed,
pioneer citizen and one of Saline
county's first representatives to the
legislature, is visiting in Salina. Since
leaving Salina he has been on a claim
in Greeley county.
Mr.. Sneeds went to the legislature
twice, beginning about 1870. At that
time two factions of the Republican
party sprung up. Mr.. Sneed came out
as an independent candidate and was
easily elected.
Representative Sneed was the au-
thor and father of the herd law,
the great boon to the settlers in the
early days. At that time many peo-
pie pastured up their own lands and
then allowed their cattle to roam at
will over land not fenced in. 1t was
impossible to fence in many of the
claims The cattle roamed at will over
these unfenced grounds, destroying
crops and gardens. There was no
legal way to stop it.

BUYING STEEL RAILS ABROAD.
Mexican Railway Places Big Order
With Belgium Mills.

The National Railways of Mexico
are about to place an order for 49,
900 tons of steel rails with Belgian
mills and it is expected that this will
be almost Immediately followed by
other orders with European mills for
several thousand tons additional
Of late, practically all the steel used
on the merger system has been the
output of Monterey mills but as those
foundries are now piled up with or
ders, practically all of which are for
the National Railways of Mexico, and
the needs of the system have become
more or less urgent, the orders now
ready for placing will go abroad.
Several times in past years the old
National lines and the old Central
have had to go abroad for rails.
Orders have been placed in Spain,
Russia and Belgium. and in all cases
the product of those mills proved to
be first class. The present plan of
securing steel abroad is not, therefore,
an experiment.

1t Is a Well known fact that the

While this requirement placed GER
