paign This Week.

Beloit, Kan. June 27.-The con-
gressional campaign in the Sixth dis
trict is getting warm enough to almost
boil The three candidates. Reeder
Young and White. have all had their
turn in figuring out the majorities in
all the twenty-five counties
The Osborne Farmer. which is fav-
orable to Reeder. figures it out this
way: Reeder. 1920 votes in the pri-
mary election; it puts White down
second with 4,677. and Young third
with 4,639
The Mankato Monitor. which is fav-
orable to White. didn't like the Os-
borne Farmers estimate and that
White, 6,195 votes. 1t puts Reeder
down second choice with 1895, and
Dung the third in the race with g.
541. 1t will be seen that the Monitor
puts Reeder second in the race
Later on the Beloit Gazette, which
is a supporter of Young. prints table
similar to those in the Farmer and
Monitor, except that it gives Young
the winners medal as follows: Young,
6,255; Reeder second with 5.025 votes,
and gives White 3,427. The Gazette
also claims that the fight is between
Young and Reeder
Congressman Reeder will be home
this week. He will make a vigorous
campaign of the district and his
friends claim that he will swing
round in an automobile. and visit every
county in the district including all the
interior Dostoffices. Reeder is a great
handshaker, and that has counted in
his favor in former campaigns
The appointment of Chas. Perdue
postmaster of Beloit, the securing of
the $4,000 appropriation for the post
Office building in Beloit, and the scrap
in the Second ward for committeeman
between S. H. Dodge, insurgent and
A G. Mead, standpatter, will have
county. As one of tho best citizens
of that ward has said: "All other pol
itics in the Second ward will be lost
sight of on account of this scrap"
Both candidates are we'll known
throughout the state, Mr.. Dodge hav-
ing served several years in the United
States land Office in Concordia when
it was located there. besides holding
down the job of regent of the State
Normal for several terms: while Mead
represented Mitchell county in the leg
islature for two terms. Dodge was al
so editor and owner of a Beloit paper
for years and until about a year ago.
F. L. Plat. of the Kirwin Kansan,
is of the opinion that both Young and
White will poll a larger vote than
Reeder. although he believes Young
will be the winner in the three cor
nered fight. His paper is lined up this
way, but Platt's reputation as a guess
err is not the best in the world. And,
after ALL the anti Reederites have had
him licked so often before the votes
were counted that the friends of Reed
er believe he will win out again in the
August primaries.
The Democrats are looking on the
Republican fight with interest, and
are now claiming that whichever one
is nominated they will beat the Repub-
lican with either H o. Caster or
Frank Rockefeller.

DIDN'T MAKE A CASE.
Grant Gunter Acquitted on Charge of
Auto Speeding.

When the police court case for speed
ing, against Grant Gunter, the colored
boy who handles the machine for Dr.
j. c. McClintock, was brought up Sat
urday afternoon, it was dismissed.
DR.. McClintock, who feels that his
chauffeur has been prosecuted too Wig
orously by the police, stated he was
prepared to defend his driver fully,
especially since he could prove that
Gunter was not in the city when the
offense was charged.
MY driver is a careful man." said
DIR. McClintock today. He has never
had an accident and will never have
one while he handles his car as care
fully as he does now. He was arrested
once for speeding when he had been
sent after a doctor and another time
for being on the wrong side of the street,
where he had gone to avoid a crowd.
After he first learned to drive he was
disposed to speed a little but he has
quit that, at my instructions, and he is
now the most competent man with a
car anywhere in town. / think the Of
ficers have exceeded the necessities in
his case and will be more careful about
their evidence against him in the
future

MUST PAY DEPosTToRs.
Citizens and Farmers State Bank Will
Have to Make Good.

Arkansas City, Kan, June 27.-The
officers and directors of the failed
Citizens & Farmers State bank of
Arkansas City will have to make good
to the depositors of that bank all their
losses. In November, 1908, this bank
failed, owing the depositors about
100000. The bank was closed by the
order of the bank commissioner, be-
cause of an indebtedness of $4,000
owed to it by the Wells Produce com
pany of Arkansas City. A few days
after the bank closed the produce
company failed for about 100000,
about 10 per cent. The capital stock
of the bank was $4,000 and the
double liability was realized on lit
tie more than one-half of the stock.
The attorney general held that the
officers and directors of the failed
Citizens and Farmers State bank
were liable to the depositors for their
losses.

THE POTATO CROP SHORT.
Kaw Valley Yield Not as Good as Last
Year.

Kansas City, June 27.-The Kaw
valley potato crop will be short this
year-short in acreage and short in
the yield per acre-and it is largely
due to the heavy rains in May. All of
which means that potatoes will cost
trifie more this fall than the prices
paid last year.
]. G. Groves of Edwardsville, who
has more acres in potatoes each year
than any other man in the Kaw valley
in Wyandotte county, said last night
the acreage of potatoes this year in
his district is about $50, as compared
with 1850 last year. And the yield
will be about one hundred bushels to
the acre, as against last years average
of 120 bushels to the acre. This means
an output for the Edwardsville dis
trict of ninety-five thousand bushels for
1910, as against 100000 bushels for
1909.
Further up the Kaw valley, between
Bonner Springs and Topeka, reports
indicate proportionately the same loss.
But this hot June weather is making
good potatoes.

Murdoch Credits Insurgents.
The insurgents" in the house of
representatives were responsible for
much Of the important legislation
passed during the session of congress
just closed, according to Mr.. Murdoch
Of Kansas, one Of the leading men of
the insurgent band. The railroad rate
bill and the rest of the vital legislation
passed was effective and responsive to
the public WILL hedeclared, lust in
proportion as the speakers power was
broken, his lieutenants overborne and
his machine scattered
In his formal statement" said Mr..
Murdoch, Speaker Cannon took pains
to say that the constructive legislation
of this congress was the best in thirty
years. He did not acknowledge, as he
should, that it was the activity of
these so-called insurgents in the house
which touched all the major measures
passed with vitality that similar leg
islation has not had for years.
1.-The constructive legislation passed
at this session has been responsible to
the popular desire and the reason for it
is that the manacles have been falling
from the members of the house.
1.-THE tendency since last December
has been toward free government
Tyranny in committee, brutal cloture
in the house, arrogance in the chair
have been under constant fire. The
tendency has been toward free govern
ment in the house. Legislation has be-
come more and more the work of the
hole membership serving the whole
nation and less the work of a political
ring serving its own selfish purposes
1t was the challenge to Cannon and
Cannonism that made legislation what
it is and every unprejudiced member
of congress knows it,

WADDELL TO THE PEN.
He Is Now Serving Sentence at Lam
sing for Bank Robbery.

Dodge City. Kan, June 27.-Sheriff
Bell has taken Stray Waddell and
John Wells to the penitentiary. While
Waddell seems to be a nice fellow to
have in charge. his reputation for slip
ping away is such that county jails
are not considered safe places for
holding him. There seems to be some
thing attractive about Waddell. Even
in Dodge City, as little as he was here,
he was making friends. He has a
way of making people feel f1attered
by an acquaintance with him. He ap-
pears to be mixture of good and bad
and knows how to impress people with
his good side.
If Waddell had stayed here two
weeks longer there would have been
a dozen or more people of this place
expressing desire to see him have a
fair show" If Waddell had fair
show he would probably help himself
to all of the money the banks contain.
