WILL BE COOLER.
But Today 1t Has Been UncomfortabIy
Warm.

Cooler weather may be expected in
the western part of Kansas during the
ensuing twenty-four hours but there is
nothing to indicate that it will be any
better in Topeka than it has been. To-
days temperatures average about a
degree hotter than yesterdays did and
a twelve mile breeze from the east has
been about all that saved it from being
red hot on Kansas avenue at noon. A
lot Of people thought it red hot, as it
was. Locally the forecast is for more
of the same generally fair, and not
cool.
People may take what comfort they
can from the knowledge that the sea-
son prescribed for tornadoes is past.
1t ended on June Is, says the weather
man, and it is bad form for any
cyclonic disturbance to manifest itself
after that time. Anyhow, there has
for weeks past for the tornado germ
to breed.

legislature of 1911 will be asked TO
make new apportionment for sena-
torial districts, cutting down the IN
equality which makes several countles
of less than $4,000 population eacn,
separate senatorial districts when TINS
big district with 1S counties and the
district just north of 1 3 counties, each
with about $4,000 population, have no
more power in the senate than the
smaller districts. I believe many sim
cere friends in this district, like your
self, believe that 1 ought not to give
up my position at this time, I am not
going to file my petitions for the NOM
ination.
Tomorrow is the last day for filing
and L have my petitions all ready and
believe I have matters in such shape
that I could make this nomination
Notwithstanding, there are two other
candidates for 1t. My petitions come
from so counties and contain over
$500 names and in every case they
have been circulated by personal and
intimate friends who are closely in
touch with the political matters in
their communities. L have had the
strongest assurances of support from
men of influence from both factions,
in all parts of the state and every
where I have found a strong disposi-
voting in the country precincts to set
down on this factional fighting which
is endangering the success of the Re-
publican party.
But this is over now and can say,
with John J. ingalls,, who was asked
if he was candidate, that I am not
a candidate for lieutenant governor,
not now.
With kindest personal regards,
am, yours sincerely,

1iboIo sOIcS Inan Reeuef, ana he DS-
lieved that with either out of the race
Reeder would be beaten
There are many Wagstaff men in
Smith Center all old time politicians,
who are very bitter against the gov
ernor, put the farmers came in from
the country and the plain citizens
turned out in large numbers and made
a fine Stubbs demonstration. The lead
erS had to stand back for the common
people.
The governor was in fine form and
made one of the strongest speeches of
the campaign. The presence Of poI1tl-
cal enemies always warns Stubbs up
to his best. His plain manner of speak
iEg and his intense earnestness makes
him irresistible with the people of this
northwest country 1t is just case OF
marching on ant the politicians cannot
stop him.
Stub5s men here claim the county by
larger vote than the governor receiv-
ed two years ago.
Smith Center is a good town. The
business section is we'll built and the
stores carry fine lines of goods. The
people appear to be prosperous and
while it is dry here, still there is not
the cry for rain that there is in Nor
ton and Phillips counties. The far
mers are ploughing corn and just
starting in on their harvest, so it is
bad time for political meetings. OF
the farmers in town today, most of
them came al a sacrifice in order to
hear the governor.
Dan Dyer, the new postmaster, and
Senator Reed, did not meet the gov
ernor at the depot. Indeed not. Dan
had bad cold and Reed had a corn
on his left foot. They both agree on
the Wagstaff majority over Stubbs in
Smith county. 1t is something less
than 800, but more than $50. Ask
a farmer or a business man about the
gubernatorial fight and he will tell
you that he does not know, but he
himself and his neighbor are for
Stubbs. Why? Just because. They
say they like his style and what he
stands for.
The State Journal correspondent
met a large number of Smith Center
people and was we'll received because
pie read the State Journal in about
the same proportion as Topeka people
do-about two State Journal readers
to one of all other papers combined.
They want both sides of the question
from one paper. The reading public
is not as partisan now as it used to be
especially among the farmers and
people of the county seat towns in
northwest Kansas. They want the
news, statement of facts. and then
they figure it out on their own hook
and draw their own conclusions.
Last night at Phi1lipsburg man
from Kirwin came to the governor
and handed him the list of names of
the Stubbs club just organized in his
township. There were ninety-SiX
names on the list, all the voters in the
township except eight. In the ad-
joining township it is said that all
the voters are for Stubs except one
man.

evidence OF the identity Of some OF the

Threats against the murdercrs are

men whom he now has under survell-
ance.

gun and rifle found by the police III

NEW OPERA HOUSE.

The vaudeville and picture bill at the
new Opera House during the last hall
of the past week was one OF exceptional
merit, playing to capacity houses at
every performance. In fact, the at
tendance was SO great on Saturday
night as to make one wish that it were
possible to obtain reserved seats. The
new management Of the house is living
up to its promise to give Alexandria a
theatre OF which it can be proud, and
one which will make unnecessary a
trip to Washington for high class
amusement. The feature OF the bill
commencing tonight is Miss Bessie
LaConnt, known as the 'peaches-and-
cream GIRL" in her famous smoking
song. Perfect order is kept at each
narfOrnaDCe.
