KANSAS STRONGLY FOR TAFT
Ali Opposition to His Renomina-

[From Tn. Tribune Bureau. |

Washington, June 19.-"Practicaly the
last vestige of opposition in Kansas TO
President Taft's denomination has been
wiped out" said Representative Anthony
al the White House this morning. There
was an intention on the part OF some OF
the insurgents 10 support Senator La Fol-
lette. but many of the men who had that
idea in view have come out for Taft. The
Republicans OF Kansas are beginning 10
analyze the things that have been accom-
plished by the Taft administration, and
this means a rapid change.
Mr. Taft will sweep the state for re-
nomination and reelection. There are only
two districts where opposition to him for
the nomination is any longer possible.
Senator Bristow cannot deliver the state
to La Toilette If he should desire Mi.
Bristow's stand on reciprocity is a great
disappointment to the people They re-

criticised it in every direction. His incon-
sistency is attracting attention throughout

The poverty social given by !
the ladies' of the Mission Society
Of the M. E. Church, Saturday

was one of the most charming
affairs of the season.
The house was artistically and
beautifully decorated with aat-

appropriate decorations, which
drove off the darkness of night
with its splendor. The spacious
dining room was beautifully ar
ranged, seating a large number
of guests, who were served with
a sumptious lunch consisting
of salad, sandwiches, coffee and
cake, which added immensely to
the enjoyment Of the occasion.
Music and songs were also par
ticipated in by the young folks
and everybody expressed them
selves as having a glorious good
time.

Where Was Moses when The Light
Went 0utl

That was the question asked
by the people of West Liberty
Monday night when the gas all
over the city went out. The gas
began getting weak about six
O'Clock and at eight went entirely
out, leaving the town in total
darkness and a good many folks
with their evening meal uncom-
pleted. The cause for this was
on account of the powerful suct-
ion of the gas at the wells, about
four miles from the city, which
drew up the salt water that had
accumulated at the bottom ofsthe
well, which filled up the tank
used for the purpose of catching
the water, filled the tank, per-
mitting the water to flow into
the main pipe cutting off the gas,
The citizens that use the gas
should not at all become uneasy
as this will not happen once in
ten years.

Big Barbecue

For Gala Day, Weather
Ideal. Grub Plentiful and

The Big Barbecue that's what
it was, a big one-at Coffee's
Creek last Saturday, established
a precedent which will doubtless
be followed in Morgan county in
many, if not all, future political
campaigns. Contrary to predict
ions made by some, the order
was perfect, and a more apprec-
iative crowd would be hard to
find. There, was an abundance
for all to eat, well cooked and
appetising and if any there were
who went away hungry the fault
was theirs alone. The speaking
could not have been improved
upon. The speakers, Messrs.
Kennaird, Hurt, Kendall and
Waugh seemed to have been in
spired for the occasion. Interest
never tagged and ENTHUSIASM con-
tinued unabated till the last
minute. On the whole it was a
great day for Morgan county De-
mocracy, a every Democrat
present will gladly testify and
every Republican will reluctant
ly admit.

We May Try 1t.

A Western e ditor has hit on an
unique plan to get delinquent
subscribers to pay up. His plan
takes the cakes and proves as eff
fective in its way as does a
Methodist preacher at a chicken
dinner. Every time a delinqhent
subscriber is mentioned in his
paper his name is inverted, for
example, 'seuof uqor and his
wife were viewing the aeroplane
flights last week in Chicago.
Every other subscriber underst-
ands what this means and there
is a grand rush for the printing
office to get names right" "a
gain on the editors book. This
is a gentle reminder. We don't
want to invert any names. :
