And vet Governor Stubbs would tell
you of the Second district today:
II believe it is the absolute duty Of
/ every citizen, regardless of political faith.
who believes in good government, to make
whatever sacrifice is necessary to go to
/ the polls and vote for Z. S. Guyer for con-
gress.
Isn't this enough to disgust all good
people with the alleged progressive
measures of this sort? We do not
know Joseph Taggart very well, but do
know that he is a lawyer of good
standing. is now county attorney Of
the Second district, and would doubt
less be a creditable representative for
the second district, and would doubt
less look after the interests of both the
Democrats and Republicans, regardless
AS said above, personal acquaintance
with him is limited, but we will say
that we think Taggart ought to be
elected today. if for nothing more
than to rebuke the alleged progress
sive'' movement in the Second district.
Guyer may slip in, but he will have a
bad brand on him the minute he starts
for Washington
Just at the time the writer should
have been hard at work on Chapter
XIV. he got mixed up into a little adj
vertising controversy early this after
noon with the Rev. f. l.. Loveland,
our esteemed friend, the pastor Of the
First Methodist Episcopal church of
Topeka
Marco Morrow. chairman of the
program committee of the Topeka |
Advertising club, with good taste, had |
persuaded DR.. Loveland to address the
club at its luncheon today. DR.. Love
land made good as the report of |
his speech in another part of this |
paper tonight will show.
The genial doctor who is not only |
a good preacher and fine orator. but a
lover Of manly sports. had taken a
'sshot at the State Journal in con-
President Burge apparently saw an
opportunity for j little stirring up of
the dry bones in the club, 50 he sud
denly blurted out just as DR. Loveland
sat down perspiring from his success

Mr.. MaeLennan Will now have two
minutes to reply"
Thereupon Mr.. MacLennan said
something like the report below:
A crack Stale Journal reporter was
there. but finally he said: Mr.. Mac,
you talk too fast for me- I wish you
would let me try to get down Mr..
Heine's fine talk. and if you want 70

you had better enjoy the unique dis
tinction of reporting yourself
We always like to help a reporter
out: have been there: and did not
wish him to get into bad repute
with the managing editor who sent
him to take down what was going on,
50 the writer represented Mr.. Schultz.
and Mr. Schultz is palming this off 10

he has no rubber stamp of mine; but
I am really glad to have two minutes
in which to reply to DR.. Loveland.

Morrow for his success in persuading

my misfortune to follow DIR. Loveland
and he sets a pretty hot pace, making
it difficult for any one to keep up
with him.

word and he had no newspaper; and

THE doctor did not miss the OPP {
portunity and he scored the State
Journal neatly and with dispatch. In
mis- beautiful and classic language, of i
course. He said he had observed lit

he also knew the state Journal ran
