THE GOVERNOR TALKS.
Says He Took No Part in Seventh Dis
trict Contest.

Governor Stubbs, who was reported TO
have induced the lieutenant governor 70
run, today stated that he had had notI9-
ing at all to do with the primary cam
paign just closed in the Seventh district
for congress. The candidacy of Dick
Hopkins of Garden City had been refer
red to by Hopkins opponents as trc
Stubbs candidacy. The governor says he
entertained as warm personal friendship
for Judge Finley of Dodge City, one of
the candidates, as he does for Hopkins.
4 kept out of this primary fight" said
the governor "as it was none of my busi-
ness. l kept out of the Second district
primary except to advise the committee
to hold a square and fair primary It
was not my place to mix in this fight for
a nomination. ItSTould have been resent
ed had I done so, and properly, by the
Seventh district Republicans Hopkins
as no more a Stubs candidate than was
Finley.
Il helped Martin as much as I did Hop
kins which is to say that did not help
Martin or Hopkins either All three of
these candidates, and Mr.. Harry, too, are
able men and god Republicans. [ cannot
conceive why I should be mixed up in
their fight for the nomination I believe
Judge Martin will be elected He was
nominated fairly and squarely and the
party should rally solidly to his support.
[ wrote Judge Finley last October and al
that time expressed to him plainly my
determination not to mix in the Seventh
district primary. and 1 believe he under
stands nv position.

The officers think the Italians con-

Convention.

The enterprise of the State Journal
was the talk of the town at Dodge City
Saturday night following the big
Democratic congressional convention
held there that day. Within an hour
after the convention had adjourned
newsboys were selling the Topeka
evening paper on the streets and in
the hotels.
It contained Champ Clark's speech
in full and the detailed proceedings of
the convention. Some six columns of
space had been devoted to the Demo-
cratic rally and the visit of the dis
tinguished speaker of the house. Ev-
cry one seemed to buy a paper. There
was no competition. No other daily
there.
How did you do it?'' asked scores or
delegates as they read the story of the
convention and the great speech by

smiled and said nothing. Forethought,
energy and the free expenditure of money
made the big beat possible.
The size Of the paper was 20 pages, one

tobacco in a railway station here,
Mrs Mary Sanders, aged SO years, on
her way home to Somerville, Mass,

that she was from Puritan stock in
Massachusetts, and had always been
taught to abhor tobacco in any form.
Il do not do so now she said.

CLAIM IT is A GO.
TOpeka-SOuthWestern Prospects
Never Locked Better.
City Will Extend Franchise to a
Three Year Limit.
MO. p. is AFTER 1T.
Directors DO Not Deny Late Ef-
forts Of Bush.
City Attorney Will Report on
Legal Permit.

/ That the Missouri Pacific railway is
making final effort to procure the
franchises and right of way of the To-
peka-Southwester road is evidenced
by the action of the board of commits
sloners in their plans to extend for
three years the franchise of the line.
The city attorney w. c. Ralston, has
been instructed by the mayor and COM
mlssloners to look into the request of
the directors of the Topeka-South-
western, that an extension of the fran
chlse might be granted Immediately.
The Missouri Pacific has been work
ing for years in an attempt to get a
direct line into Kansas City from their
main line at Council Grove or Herring
ton. The Topeka Southwestern COM
pdny was organized to build from To-
peka to Council Grove and it obtained
the right of way and the city fran
chises.
The action of the officials of the
company in asking the city commits
sIonerS to grant them three more years
on their franchise is believed by To-
peka railroad men and city officials to
be most favorable sign for the con-
struction of the new line.
City Is in Favor of 1t.
The city commissioners are doing all
they can to encourage the prospect of
a new road into Topeka Although
peka-SOuthwe weStern to extend the
franchise was attempted secretly, it
has leaked out at the city hall, and it
is not denied that the road will be
built soon and that the Missouri Pa
cif1c is behind it.
The Topeka men who made the re-
quest before the board of commission
ers are: E. H. Crosby, George w
Crane, w. c. tephensOn, E. B. Mer-
riam, c. B. Merriam and c. K. Holli-
day.
A few months ago the Topeka mem
bers of the road spent a few days with
Council Grove business men and inter-
ested pushers of the Topeka South
western. At that time it was assured
that the road would be built soon.
The ka-Southwestern Railway
company was organized under the laws
of Kansas to construct a steam rail-
road from Topeka to Council Grove,
a distance of about so miles. 1t would
supply transportation facilities to
most fertile and prosperous region,
which has never been brought to its
full measure of development on ac-
count of the lack of railroad facilities.
Southwestern this section of the coun-
try would be in touch with all markets
and it's present resources more than
doubled The need of a railroad in
this territory is conceded by residents
along the line and throughout the ter
ritory.
City Attorney Ralston will make his
report on the franchise soon.

DRIVEN ON ROCKS
FiftyPersOns OnBOard the Wash
ington Seem Doomed.
A Severe Gale and a Terrific Sea
Is Running.

Astoria, Nov. 13.-The steamer
Washington which ran ashore on Pea
cock Spit Yesterday afternoon is pc
ing driven by a southeast gale toward
the rocks between Capt Disappointment
and North Head. 1t is believed that
many or all of the 80 persons on board
are doomed. A terrific sea is running
The steamer was in a worse posi-
ton this morning than she was last
night when darkness fell and shut her
OF from the view of the watchers on
shore. A terrific southeast gale was
blowing and slowly but surely she was
creeping toward the rocks.
The only hope for the fifty persons
aboard was in the bravery of the
United States life saving crews from
the Cape Disappointment and Point
Adams stations. These men patroIled
the beach all night waiting for the
vessel to go to pieces, or for her to
drift close enough to shore to let them
fire life lines over her.
The tugboats. the Tatoosh and the
Goliag, left Astoria early today for
the scene but their captains had little
hope that they would be able to get
close enough to the stranded vessel to
afford any aid.
A report from the life saving station
at Northhead received this morning
states the Washington is drifting rap
idly toward Northhead and is expected
to go ashore within hour or two.
From the fact that she has not shown
any signs of smoke from her funnel,
she is full of water.
In spite of the heavy sea which is
running life savers are preparing to
launch their boat in the hope of pick
ing up any who may be washed from
the wreck or jumped into the sea-
The life guns, equipped with great
coils of rope have been trained on the
doomed vessel since daylight, but She
has not drifted into range
