Are those petitions typewriter or
manuscript" asked Senator FolkcS
Were they drawn up by a mass-meet-
ing right at tho typewriter, or was
1T a mass- meeting composed OF mass
OF people? what evidence have we as
to the genuineness of such petitions IL
they are typewriter entirely and not
marked copy? IL you are going to let
in such documents as these, then the
other side can do likewise. II 1t Is
just typewriter petitions you want
can go and get the poll-tax lists and
Tx you up with all the petitions you
please.
The question about the petition is:
Are we getting can of condensed
mix, or ar. We. getttmg d canon OF
OF purity OF the ballot box, and here
in the Senate we ought to have the
same principle at work in regard to
petitions"

SCHOOL BOARD TALK.
Campaign Has Reached the Circular
Stage.

The school board campaign has
| reached the circular stage. The wom-
new deal in the board and for the i'm
provement of the educational system,
have issued a card upon which the
names of the "insurgent' candidates
who are the reform candidates. They
have also issued a statement setting
forth their position and plea for a
change. 1t is as follows:
1.-The Tnsurgent' ticket stands for
obedience to school laws. A law break
ing school board is as bad as a law
breaking mayor and council.
1.-THE city pays enormous school tax.
tax annually goes into the hands of the
school board. Nobody is allowed to
know how it is spent.
I'm a vague, misleading way finan-
ctal reports nre printed in the papers
when the public sentiment threatens to
unseat the superintendent and board.
Unless there Is a clamor no reports are
made.
Topeka is in debt nearly three
quarters of u million dollars now in
her school finances and is running be-
hind every year. Let's get a new
school board.
thousands of dollars of the peoples
hard earned taxes are spent annually
to pay interest on borrowed money by
the present board and yet the hangers
on demand reelection.
Are you poor man? Take your
wife to the polls Monday and vote for
better schools, better management, less
extravaganza and law abiding condi-
lions in the Topeka schools.
Listen, voteri The first and best
pledge of the 'Insurgent' ticket is to
employ an expert accountant to clear
UP and straighten out the muddled and
unbusiness like bookkeeping of the
board of education. Then the new
board can opan a set of books and let
the public know what becomes of the
taxes. Under the present bookkeeping
managed for matters are hopelessly
tangled.
THE insurgents are not candidates
because they want the growls and
kicks of the public. as Judge Carver
declares he is running for the school
board so he can again be kicked.
THE insurgents stand for clean bust
agant use of public money, better
schools for the common people. The in
surgents will not take 1t as an insult
If voters and taxpayers ask to be
shown where the money goes.
Under a better rule the board will
transact the business and the superin-
tendent and head janitor will not need
to do the talking in board meetings.
1.-THE law forbids a member to sell
his own goods to the board. The in
surgents lave nothing to sell the board.
You can't go wrong in helping Topeka
Il you help her public schools.
1.-The superintendent buys all the
supplies for the schools. This runs
into an expenditure of hundreds and
1nent of what the supplies contain is
recorded. 1t is time to stop this whole
sale purchase of supplies and get
down to a business basis"

Kansas a great state fair next fall.
This resolution tells the story:
Resolved, That the capital stock Of
the Kansas State Fair association be
increased to 100000. and that 100000
be offered for sale this year"
Within the course of a few days the
stock will be on sale, and on account
of the personnel of the men who are
managing the new enterprise includ-
ing H. c. Cook, the new secretary, who
is a man of executive and business
ability, it is believed that stock will be
sold with ease. AS a matter of fact
number of the prominent business men
of the city have expressed their inten-
ton of subscribing for a generous
amount of stock, and it is the opinion
of those interested that script will be
sold readily in the outside districts.
1t is likely that the work of stock dis
posing in Topeka will be carried on
rapidly. 81 believe in the lightning
kind of campaign" said T. Borman.
1T would be a good idea to put up
posters advertising that it is state fair
day and blow the whistle of the Con-
tinental creamery for each $4,000 Sc

The first payment of % per cent of
the total amount on stock subscribed
is to be paid on April Is and 25 per
cent each month thereafter which
would bring the final payment July Is.
