Lee O'NeiI Browne Assumes RESPONSE
bility for Lorimer's Election.

Chicago, Nov. 4.=Lee O'Neil Browne,
Democratic minority leader of the
Illinois legislature at the time Senator
William Lorimer was elected in 1903,
today continued his testimony before
the senate committee investigating the
election of Lorimer. Mr.. Browne is
the first witness heard in some time
who has not suggested the names of
two or three other men that might be
able TO explain the election more
clearly than himself. Browne said he
knew all about the election Of Mr..
Lorimer by a bipartisan coalition be-
cause he helped to break the deadlock
and elect Lorimer.
For this reason, he said, he knew
that no money was used wrongfully in
procuring the election.

Some of the Kansas people arrived
last night and a good many this morn

the game without playing for it and
seem as enthusiastic as in former years.
Blue Rooters Aroused.
The Washburn rooters held a great
enthusiasm meeting at the gymnasium
Friday night, organizing the roofing
for today. There is considerable COM
plant about the high price of tickets
for the game, the general crowd fail
ing to realize that the management is
keeping pace with other schools in try
ing to meet expenses. The crowd think.
however, the $3.50 is too much to see
Washburn play and have grounds for
that belief. Nevertheless, the battle this
afternoon will be one worth the money
to anyone Who likes to see a good
open style football game.

that for several years past but the dope
is that they will beat the locals as
much this afternoon as they ever have
with the exception of the year 1902 when
a merger of the Medical college and

only easy victory Kansas has had this
year was st. Mary's. Baker tied them,
they beat the Aggies one touchdown and

NOON EDITION
The New Celebrated "Bingville
Bugle" Facsimile Page.
Also Wonderful Embroidery
Transfer Page This Issue.

This is today's noon edition, issued
between IL and II o'clock.
The State Journal starts two new
features for its Saturday edition today.
These features are likely to appear ev-
'Bingville Bugle'' facsimile first page.
This page is good-natured and good
humored, and cannot offend the farm
ers, or any one else. In fact the farm
ers enjoy it even more than the city
people, while the city people take TO
it like a duck to water in the few other
cities where the page has been intro
duced in the central west.
The "Bingville Bugle' page which
appears for the first time in any To-
peka paper on page 10 in this issue is
the richest thing of its kind that has
been offered since Colonel Jeltz sus-
pended the Topeka Ledger.
The other feature is one which Will
appeal especiaIlytO women, and We
urge the men folks to see that the
women get this page. That is the en-
broidery page.
By a new process that is introduced
forthe first time today by any Kansas
paper, it is believed the beautiful en-
broidery design printed on page six of
this issue can be transferred in print
upon paper or cloth by the simple
process explained on the same page.
1t is believed that these two features
alone will insure a large demand both
for the noon edition today and for the
regular edition tonight.
