Stubs began his political career in 1903 by going to the legislature. In
1904 he became chairman Of the Republican state committee and remained
such for four years. He nominated Edward Wallis Hoch for governor, after
Hoch had refused to accept the nomination. Stubs hired two good takers
to use the longdistance telephone from Topeka on every farmer in the state
who had a phone in his home. 1t cost a good deal of money, but Stubs q
satisfied with the result. "They wouldn't have worried about a letter. he
said, but when they got a longdistance call they knew that meant ONE

AS governor, Stubs sought unsuccessfuny last year to have passed q

LAW BREAKER ROYS
ON DECK AGAIN

Commissioner L. w. Roys Is
back at work again and there
promises to be something doing
now at the city hall.
He came down to the office yes
terday afternoon and expects to
take up-his work again now.
Roys says he has been sick and
had to go to the hospital for an
operation.
This statement warded off his
immediate recall at the beginning
of this month as all preparations
had been made to bounce him for
his actions in office.
The people are determined to
get rid of him now, however, and
steps are expected in the next
week to get out the petitions for
his recall.
The blanks are all ready at the
city clerks office. They are long
sheets, each sheet sufficient to
hold so names. The clerk got
1000 of them so there will be
plenty of petitions.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. IL
President Thomas L. Lewis, of
the United Mine Workers of
America, who controls 23 of the
sixty socialist votes in the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in ses-
sion here, is being given credit to-
day for the announcement by the
socialists that they will not OPP
pose the reelection of Samuel
Gompers for the Federation presi-
dency.
Heretofore 1t had been stated
that Lewis would support the So
cialists against Gompers.
"No one had any right to ex-
pect any such support from me,
said Lewis. 81 am free and not
bound to any clique, clan or in
dividual. If the socialists nom
ilate a man who is capable and
willing to succeed Gompers, l
might support him, but that
would depend entirely on what l
thought of the mans personal
qualifications"
When asked how he liked Com

PICTURE SHOWS
Nov. II. 1910.

NOV. II, 1910.
To the Editor:
Dear Sir: Having noticed an
article in your paper relative to
the moving picture shows, | Will
state concerning this department
that it is handicapped because
there is no ordinance in effect
regulating moving picture shows.
But | will say that as far as the
operating rooms are concerned
they are all lined with asbestos
paper and entirely covered with
metal lining and therefore in no
danger of fire; also as they are
using a non-combustible film it
therefore makes it less dangerous.
/ will state that a committee
has been appointed and is now at
work revising the present build
ing ordinance and it will include
the regulation and construction of
all theaters and moving picture
shows now and hereafter operat-
ed and constructed.
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE TRUST,
Building Inspector.
Mr.. Trusts communication IS
evidence that while he believes
certain precautions said to have
been taken make things LESS
dangerous" the fact remains that
public safety is not absolutely in
sured in the moving picture
houses. 1t might also be pointed
out that flash of flame causing
panic might easily work havoc in
the narrow houses even though
no actual confia grafton took
place. Without proper exits no
theater is a safe place for the
public.
