SKEpTICAL PEOPLE.

The reason there are so many people
who are skeDtical is that there are SO
many things that are advertised which
are hunbugs. and being intelligent, you
reach the point where you. say that 10

We believe that anything that Is good
for the human family should be placed

Kansas Standpatter Is Now

Special 10 The Washington Herald
Topeka, Kans, Sept. 26.-Kansas has
eight representatives IN Congress, all OF
them at present Republicans. In two
districts there is no regular Democratic
nominee against the Republican incum-
bent In the First district. the sitting
member. d. r. Anthony. jr.. had so
bitter fight for his denomination
against an insurgent candidate that
there would have been a good chance
for the Democrats 10 pick up a seat
there had they nominated regular party
candidate.
Anthony. since the Statewide victory
OF the insurgents. is talking progressive
ism, but his record in Congress was that
OF standpatter. and did not ind in
Leavenworth that people were inclined
to credit him with any sincerity I'm his
change Of front But his opponent. ].
B. Chapman. declined 20 run as a regu-
lar Democrat and entered the primaries
as an independent They tell me that
Anthony was nominated by Democratic
votes. and that Chapman viii be beaten
by the same force. II is further said
thar Anthony as proprietor of the Leav-
enworth Times. is a bit OF a boss, has
tossed to Democratic politicians few
local Offices, which has led TO material
Iessening OF Democratic enthusiasm
against him.
IN the Second district. the present
member, Representative Scott, went down
before Alexander Mitchell. who cam
paigned as an .insurgent. In the last
election the Republican plurality was
scant 1000. which seems 20 be a fair
chance OF overcoming in November.
Two Standpatters Safe,
The Third and Fourth districts impress
me as safely Republican. They are now
represented by Congressman Campbell
and Miller-converted standpatters
The Fifth ought to be a good fighting
district although / am frank 10 say that
the professional politicians here do not
so hold it, This district is that which
has been represented for fourteen years
by w. A. Calderhead. This year he re-
tired .n favor OF an insurgent. Calder
head, whom I know well. is perhaps the
most extreme type OF a standpatter. Can
non himself could go no farther than he.
Unquestionably the district is all against
that for which he stood. but, neverthe-
less. II seems incredible that a man OF
such long service should not have In his
district frienSs who would resent his
summary retirement The majority in
the district. in the best years. has hard
Is exceeded 1908 for the Republicans.
II is interesting. by the way. to note
that this is the first district IN which
President Taft has put into effect his
new policy Of giving patronage to the
insurgents. He turned out Of office
Calderhead's nominee for the post-of.ce
ard substituted the choice OF Senator
Bristow. People out here laugh at this,
and say that the Presidents conversion
comes too late 10 be taken seriously.

SHERMAN FORCES SCOUT
ROOSEVELT MEMS COUNT

Saratoga. \. Y. Sept 2s,-AH thought
Of candidates for governor or any other
place on the State ticket was subordi-
mated 10 the struggle on the part Of the
Sherman men 10 overcome losses OF dele
gates and on the part of the Roosevelt
Griscom people, wnO claim 574 delegates,
while the anti-Roosevelt men claim 49,
delegates. and insist that the Roosevelt
people are not justified in figuring upon
their estimate.
There are half a dozen platforms here,
one In the hands Of President Griscom,
another In the possession of Representa-
tive Parsons. another in the inside coat
pocket of William Barnes, jr.. and, in
addition. there are planks innumerable
in the possession OF many delegates
The Barnes people will oppose a State
wide primary. The Roosevelt people
seem 10 think that they have gone a lit
tie too far in supporting the Cobb meas
ure which favored New York City, and
they have back tracked on that form Of
a direct nominations bill. The platform
in their possession gives a general in
dorsement 10 the Taft administration, re-
sends, to a great extent, the attack OF
Col Roosevelt on the Supreme Court of
the United States, and has little or moth
ing 10 say about the Payne-AlAEich tariff
bill. The Barnes platform indorses the
Taft administration. sustains the Su-
preme Court OF the United States, and
speaks out boldly for the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill
II hope my friends, and adversaries. as
well. will understand that now" Col.
Roosevelt declared to-day. 'if l should
be nominated I would arise in the con-
vention and absolutely decline"
This fixed determination on Roosevelt's
part has changed the situation since this
afternoon.
Candidates for governor there will be
plenty. but that feature Of the conven-
ton work-selecting the best man from
the number In the field-will not be taken
up until the battle for absolute control
of the convention itself is settled to-mor-
row and after the platform has been
adopted. which probably viii not be I'M
til Wednesday.
Indications now are that il VIII be a
three days convention. with nominations
on Thursday. While there is no doubt
as TO who will dominate the convention,
fractional feeling has become acute. Col.
Roosevelt will not listen to compromise.
He is determined TO make an end TO the
leadership of the old bosses. Since $3.50
clock this afternoon until after MD
night Col Roosevelt has been comforting
with one delegation after another and
summoning those backward in declaring
their allegiance. until he has covered the
field and knows positively from personal
contact what he can accomplish.
The Washington herald., 1910-09-27

William A. Reeder, better known as "Old
Bill Reeder." is probably the most prom
ising district IN the State for the Dem
ocrats. Reeder was beaten for renomi-
nation under circumstances that VIII es-
TRANCE his friends from the party. His
majorities We're never great, the last one
being less than 1000 votes. In this year
of Democratic tides almost anybody
ought TO be able TO overcome that. The
Democrats have nominated o man bear
ing the somewhat plutocratic name OF
Frank Rockefeller. He is good cam
paigner, a business man of high stand
ing, and If he can overcome the theory
that he belongs to the famous oil family
he ought TO pull through. II Is unques-
ticnably this district on which the DEM
ocratic State committee relies chiefly 10
gain a Congressman.
sIadisOn's Election Sure.
In the Eighth district E. II. Madison.
famous as an insurgent, was renomi-
mated. and l have not any doubt will be
reelected. He and Victor Murdoch In
sarged so vigorously and so intelligently
that the Democrats have not even put
up a candidate against Murdoch. and
while they have against Madison. do
not think they win make any fight that
can possibly prove effective.
The Democrats will bring into the State
to speak for their Congressional candi-
dates Mr.. Bryan. 3 Champ Clark. and
Gov. Folk. I do not find that Mr.
Bryans personal popularity has de-
creased materially in Kansas. though the
politicians grumble somewhat about his
rather dominant attitude in party affairs
and insist that it is time for him TO let
go the reins. Yet the very politicians
who made this complaint admitted in the
next sentence that Bryan could do more
than any other man to hold the party
together ana get Democratic voters TO
the polls. Apparently, they admit his
qualities OF leadership over the people
while denying him any right Of like lead
ershiD IN the organization.
There IS apparent. too. among the peo-
pie a warm approval OF Mr. Bryan's
attitude in the local option issue in Ne
braska Kansas has gone on syear by
year improving her prohibition law until
now It really prohibits. II is accepted by
both parties, and this year is not even an
issue In the campaign The general feel
ing that Mr.. Bryan is himself al heart
u prohibitionist has helped 10 maintain
his strength.
All Presidential talk is for Folk Among
the Democrats. and Roosevelt among
Republicans though from the latter

the advertising.
This condition had TO be cor
rected before any advertising
plan could be worked out for the
benefit of the country dailies and
weeklies, so the manager of the
American Press Association got
in communication with all of the
publishers and persuaded them to
AGREE TO FIX A RATE thar
was FAIR TO ALL ADVER-
Users and also get them to
agree to REFUSE TO PRINT
OBJECTIONABLE ADVER-
TISEMENTS.
So far, the manager has Sc
cured the positive agreement of
over 5000 publishers of weekly
newspapers and over $50 pub
fishers of daily newspapers to
stand, mind you, for INTEG-
RITY OF RATES and for
HONEST ADVERTISING.
1t is a big factor when over
5000 weekly publishers and
over $50 daily publishers stand
shoulder to shoulder for the
RETIREMENT OF ADVER-
Using conditions. It is a
healthy sign and it means carry
ing out successfully the policy so
frequently defined in this column.
All newspaper publishers will
sooner or later adopt this plan.
We congratulate the AMER

and the success that has already
been attained.

ADVERTIS T TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN.

ARTHUR BRISBANE, who
is said to draw a salary of
$4,000 a year as an editorial
writer, once in a while treats the
advertising fraternity to his
views about ADVERTISING.
1t is a healthy sign of the
times when great editors give
cognizance to what is going on
in the advertising world.
Recently, Mr.. Brisbane printed
a two-column editorial on the
VALUE OF THE COUNTRY
NEWSPAPER TO ADVER-
TISERS, which was we'll writ
ten, as is everything he writes.
The AMERICAN PRESS
ASSOCIATION has supplied
for many years small country
daily and weekly newspapers
with news of a general character,
which is sent to them in plate
form.
Some genius in that organiza-
ton discovered a little while ago
that ADVERTISING is NOW
really accepted as NEWS, so he
thought out a plan of soliciting
advertising for the list of news
papers printing their plate mat
\ter.
On investigation he discovered
that a great many country news
papers had been printing adver-
tisements sent to them by agents
and advertisers Just TO fill up
space WITHOUT ANY RE-
GARD TO THE RATE paid,

GAYNOR EXPLAINS
He IS NOT IN RACE
But Letter Indicates lie

New York. Sept. 2s.-Mayor Gaynor
wrote to-day to John A Dix chairman
OF the Democratic State committee that
he IS not a candidate for the nominal
ton for governor by the Rochester con-
vention. The letter repeats what the
mayor has already told his friends To
those who have had a chance to talk
with him concerning hts attitude toward
the understood wish Of the large ma
jority Of the Democratic leaders Of the
State to present his name TO the conven-
ton, he has persistentIy said:
I am not a candidate for the nomi-
nation, and personally I don't want IT,
but If II should come to me l Will con-
slider It.
Mr.. Gaynor does not say explicitly "a
his letter that he would refuse the nomi-
nation If 1t had been made, and he takes
occasion TO contradict the assertion that
he ever made a compact TO continue four
years in his Office as mayor What he
did say was of his own motion that
he purposed 70 devote the four years TO
the service OF the city.
Rochester. Sept 26-The news that
Mayor GaynOr might not accept the
Democratic nomination for governor
was received here tonight Just as 500

Rochester Democrats have been opti-
mistic from the start. concerning Ravens

that the New York mayor. at the right
time. would make his position clear. and
that Ii would be TO the effect that he
would serve out his term as mayor OF the
metropolis The letter given out by the
mayor has made Rochester Democrats
even more hopeful Of bringing about the
nomination OF Havens at the Rochester
convention.
When Informed Of Mayor Gaynor's
action, Chairman John F. Daley OF the
Monroe County Democratic general com
mittee. said: II have not at any time
thought that Mayor Gaynor ought to be
nominated for governor. in view of his
obligation and pledge to the people Of
New York City TO remain in the mayors
Office until the end Of his term. The
mayors letter TO Dix makes It plain that
Mr.. Gaynor takes the same view OF his
obligation to the city OF New York and
TO his party. I expect the nomination OF
James A. Ravens for governor on the
