Inc most important event in city
political circles this week was the
| rapid array of figures which have been
gwen to the people by the city officials
In charge of the counting of the cleo
ton votes. One day a candidate can
PICK up mis- evening paper and pat
| himself on the back and thu next dav
he will rush frantically down town TO
md out the reason for his relief from
the ticket.
| But it has been decided, much to
the relief of the candidates and the
voters mat the above figures are cor
rect This puts different light on
the election-and the campaign.
1t boosts Jordan from fifth place TO
| 4
the first Official returns. Stotts oc-
cupied the fourth round Now he is
| 81 votes behind Jordan. Holman. the
other First ward candidate, is more
petitor.
1t is noticeable fact now that the
first four nominees are from all cor
ners Of the city. Jordan from North
topeka, Miller from East Topeka,
randy from the southwestern section
ana Bone from the Potwin district in
The change in official returns also
bumped" Simpson from the school
BOARD race. simpson was hanging on
the twelfth round of the ladder when
the city commissioner canvass caught
nm IN thirteenth place and J. F. Has
keIl OF the Fourth ward was placed in
the race. Twelve are nominated for
the school board.
Other changes were insignificant.
Penwell was raised above the 5000
mark and Ryder was given more votes.
But the school board standing remains
the same and the first count on MAYOR
remains correct.
Only One Day More
Monday is the only day between
now and the election campaign ter
minaL And Topeka has never seen
such a hard working bunch of nomi-
nees.
For mayor there has been little
development. Mayor Billiard has
given out no more anti-prohihition in
terviews. McNeal has ceased his dec
larations that all people who want
clean government will vote for Nc
Neal and not Billiard.
The accusations of former and pres
ent county officials that Mayor Billiard
and his chief of police had made few
attempts to enforce the prohibitory
law have been answered by the mayor,
the chief of police and the police
Judge.
Silence reigns after the storm.
McNeal is certain that all the good
people will come to his aid. Billiard
has placed all confidence in his friends.
The State Journal will flash the re-
suits Tuesday night.
1t is interesting-this talk of Tom
McNeal being supported by Governor
Stubs. 1t is true that he has among
his enemies a large anti-Stubbs crowd
but friends OF the candidate assert
that the governor has nothing to do
with the election.
The weather is going to have a lot
to do with the election Tuesday. If it
is rainy. stormy day the McNeal
vote will be in jeopardy-his many
thousand women supporters will stay
at home. He will have to get them
to the polls. Billiards. friends would ge
rain or shine.
If it is a clear sunshiny spring day
the vote should be larger than it
was at the primary.
Caldwell on McNeaI.
w. H Caldwell today gave out the |
following statement concerning Gov. |
Stubs and the campaign for mayor:
THE funniest thing in this fight for |
mayor of Topeka is the politics in it, |
I hear it on all corners of the Billiard |
side that Tom McNeal is Gov. Stubs /
candidate whom he wishes to see elect |
ed mayor SO that he can use him in ,
his fight for United States senator. In |
political language, do you know who /
Gov. Stubs fears? You do not and |
know you don't when you say he can /
use Tom McNeaI. That man McNeaI |
can be used by nobody. This you will |
find out when he is mayor. Six years |
in the same office with him justifies
me in saying what l have said here. |
He is a man slow to anger, but stub
born as a mule when his mind is set
tied upon his duty. He will not per-
secute anybody, but the best friend he |
has on earth cannot persuade him to /
swerve one iota from what he con-
ceives to be his duty, and 1 tell you
frankly that the mayors office under /
Tom McNeal, will not be used to
boost Gov. Stubs senatorial aspira-
tions, nor do believe that Gov. Stubs
will try to do anything more with
Mayor Tom McNeal than to maintain
his personal friendship.
81 hardly knew your father today"
said the district visitor pleasantly to the
little girl. Hes cut his beard off again.
