of the Republican party aud the dem

the verdict President Taft has forced
the different Department estimates for
maintenance the coming year to be cut
down millions of dollars. It had to be
or maybe defeat at the next election.
The same howl went up in Kansas,
it kept Stubbs and his republican ad-
ministration explaining and the demo-
Gratis came near capturing the Cover
nor and Legislature. And to avoid the
same kind of charge in the next cam
paign and not lose U. S. Senator and
the Legislature, every proposed expen-
diture is being cut to the lowest possi-

as demonstrated by our Ft. Hays Ex-
