RIPLEY GIVES REASONS.
Says Governor Stubbs' Accountant Did
Not Act Fairly.

Governor Stubs has received the fol-
lowing telegram from President Ripley
of the Santa F'e:
Santa Barbara. Cal, Dec. %. 1910.
Governor w. r. Stubs, Topeka, Kan:
Your wire 2Sth received. The Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company keeps no records at variance
with the classification of accounts as
prescribed for it by the interstate
commerce commission and the COM
missions of the various states through
which it operates its railway. Your
insinuation as to the existence of rec
ords which reflect figures at variance
with the actual operations of the road
Is not worthy of one who occupies the
position of governor of one of the
greatest states of our Union. The
Santa Fe has thousands of friends
within the state of Kansas who do
and will resent such insinuatiOnS. The
records of our company can be exam
ined by the commissions authorized by
law to make such examinations. Other
examiners may have access to the
records by courtesy OF the company.
That courtesy was accorded to you,
but you violated it by not sending to
our offices a. competent. qualified GER

A great deal of interest was mani

age of 81 tackled a proposition that few
men in his county would have under
taken, to defeat for the legislature the
state chairman, bank commissioner.
ex-speaker, and chairman of the Re-
publican party. But last summer when
the Democrats needed a man to put IN
the field as candidate for the legis-
lature Mr.. Bunger seemed to be the
choice of his party and after good
deal Of work by his friends he was
persuaded to take hold of the matter
and make an active campaign against
Mr.. Dolley which he did and the out
come was that he won by nearly 400
majority in a county that went 800 Re-
publican two years ago.

believe that the practice necessitated by
the Inadequate building OF requiring stu

I'VE feel sure that with the means pro-

ratio in this city will he materially low
cred. and therefore we ask of all voters
their assistance and the exercise OF their
