The list of organizations boosting the
election of Mayor William Green to the
office of mayor under the commission
form of government is growing. 1t is
getting to be a fad in Topeka to get
together, elect a president and secre- |
tary and draw up resolutions in favor |
of Mayor Green. The above mention |
ed organizations are among the strong |
est in the city and represent the NOR |
ais. beliefs and sentiments of hundreds |
of the best people of the city.
The latest support to be pledged to
the mayor was made by the Municipal |
League, an especially strong and pro- |
gressive woman's organization. This |
league met last evening and planned !
campaign to cover every qualified voter |
in Topeka. The campaign will be of
the house to house. transmItter to re-
ceiver, mouth to ear variety and will |
be one of the most complete ever car |
ried out in Topeka city politics.
The meeting was one of the most |
general ever held among Topeka wo-
men. Women from every section of
the city were present and the spirit IN
favor of Green was unanimous. 1t has
been stated that the meeting was a
failure because the club women" were
for Billiard The meeting was not
club meeting and as the meeting was
called for and designated as a Green
Meeting there was Billiard senti-
ment there. The garb1ing of the facts
has raised a howl of disgust over
representative that the colored women
of the city have pledged their support
and their cooperation in the work Tor
Green.
Captains of every precinct were ap-
pointed for work over the city, and
their duties prescribed. Each captain
is to conduct the work for Green in
their precinct. A partial list of the
precinct committeeman are as 1oI-
lows:

New Story on Green.
Those who predicted that the cam
paign between the candidates for
mayor and commissioners during the
primary-elect.on interval would be of
the 'mud-slinging' variety are seeing
their predictions come true The senti-
ment IS rapidly growing into white
heat and from the stories that have
already taken place it is hard to tell
just what will happen before the few
campaign days are over.
For the last few days there are any
number of stories against Green and
Chief Eaton spreading like wild fire.
The one that Is prevalent today con-
Germs the different organizations in To-
peka that distributed liquors at one
time in their history. 1t is said from
foundation, that Mayor Green and
Chief Eaton are allowing the Arions
the Eagles, the Turner's and several
other clubs to run wide OPEN in or
ed upon for election. 1t is said that |
the mayor and his chief are afraid to
close up these places, because it would
make them enemies and lose them
votes.
Upon investigation it has been found
that the stories are unfounded because
all of the clubs in question emphatic
ally deny having any liquor for ser
vice. Mayor Green insists that every
club of its kind is being watched close
lv and there is no liquor for distribu-
ton in the club circles.
The story has become so prevalent
that the women in the southwestern
part of the city have heard of it and
have telephoned to the mayor today
inoIiring G n its truth |
Mayor Green is planning and con-
Quoting a strenuous campaign-the
first time he las really entered the race
of his candidacy for the primaries
early in the winter. "Get the people
out TO vote" IS the slogan of the may
or's personal campaigners and this is
what they depend upon to defeat BIZ
lard. Thev believe that Billiard will
lose if the Green forces are able to get
the people interested.
There Is a report in circulation that
North Topeka will vote solidly for
Billiard. A number of secret meetings
have been held the last two days for
this purpose. Billiard received 937
votes from the North side in the pri-
maries- Green received 23S and Kem-
per 11e- A total of 34S votes went
against Billiard. 1t is reDorted that a
good majority of this will go to Green.
In the North Topeka controversy
as to who will represent their ward
for commissioner. there is nothing
new. It looks as though all three
men will be defeated ur1ess some ac-
tion Is taken because the people ont
