Sixth District Democrat Stops
in Topeka.

From His Trip.

week. The dates have not yet been
definitely decided by the committee, but
the plan is to spend the week in the
counties of Rawlins, Cheyenne, Sher-
man, Thomas, Rocks and Osborne. The
governor will leave here Monday night
for the northwest country.
1t is expected that by the last of the
week the committee will have schedules
arranged for several other speakers at
its disposal. John Dawson, candidate
for attorney general who is now in
Chicago before the interstate commerce
commission on a rate case, will be
drafted upon his return Saturday.
Superintendent Fairchild who makes a
cracking good speech, will also be hand
ed heavy schedule. David Leahy and
Charles Sessions will travel together
and speak together. These two will
tauqua circuit before the campaign is
over, so they will be used early in the
fight, just as a baseball manager uses
his ''phenoms" in the early spring.
The speakers sent out by the COM
mittee will point with pride to the
achievements of the state administra-
ton and stand on the state platform
pledged to further reforms in the in
terest of all the people.
A news story from Hutchinson re-
garding the plans of the reform school
there declares that the next legislature
which viii convene in January will
be asked to make appropriations for a
building and the establishment of a
hrst-class dairy department at the re-
formatory. The institution already has
a herd of more than $50 cattle and it
is the desire of NJ. F. Amrine, the new
superintendent, to establish a dairy
department which will be a credit to
the state, and if possible to handle
thoroughbred cattle which will compete
with all others at the fairs and stock
shows In this section of the country.
In addition to establishing the dairy
department, the legislature will be
asked to award the institution the ser
vices of a competent stock man from
the State Agricultural college at Man
haitian to take charge of the dairy de-
partment and instruct the boys in sci
entific breeding and methods of raising
cattle that will be qualified to compete
at fairs and stock shows. Superintend-
ent Amrtne wants a man from Man
haitian to take charge of the milk and
butter department that the standard
of the department at the institution be
maintained on an equally high stand
ard with that of any other in the
state.
IN making preparations for this
superintendent Amrine bought two
young short horn bulls at the state
fair which was held last week to add
to the herd. One of the bulls cost 5000
and the other $3.50. They are nine and
ten months old respectively. They were
purchased from the Stodder Short Horn
stock farm which is located in CoWley
county. The young bulls were on ex-
hibition at the state fair.
superintendent Amrine will begin the
organization of the dairy department
at once and expects no trouble in Sc
curing the desired appropriations nv
the legislature. More than 50 cows are
being milched at the institution at
present and about 200 head of the herd
OF the the, institution are being pastured.
He Will endeavor to increase the ouaI-
ity Of butter and milk at the institu-
ton to degree that it will be equal
to that produced anywhere else even
at the Agricultural college and other
state institutions
The institution is already eo,1inDad
with an ice and cold storage plant
which will aid the officers in main
tanning the dairy department. and thev
feel much encouraged with the pros
poets.

way.
Senator Charles Curtis has returned
from an extended trip in the east.
where he held a conference with Pres-
dent Taft. The senator left today for
Frankfort where he is billed to speak
at a reunion. The senator will place
his services at the disposal of the state
committee and take an active part IN
the campaign. He expects that Presi-
dent Taft will speak in Topeka late in
the fall while on his western trip.
Speaking of his visit with the presi-
dent and the idle stories that were cir
culated in that connection regarding
federal appointments, Senator Curtis
said:
aThere was nothing said in our in
tervfew in reference to any ap-
pointments in the state The pres
ident did not advise me while IN
Beverly of the attitude he intended .
take upon the recommendations Of the
Insurgents of the senate and house.
This win not materially change the SIT
uatfon in Kansas as departments have
always recognized the recommends
