| Snap Shots" are contributed by ev-
cry reporter on the force and are not
written by any one man-at least every
reporter is supposed to take SO much

| According to the Elizabeth N. Barr
suffragette paper, Samuel E. LUX. can
| didate for mayor, has come out open

sioner, is the happiest man in Topeka

! mistake in sending out Invitations
| and then telling the rest of the people

dreds of people in the city who say
! they are not going because they didn't
| get an invitation and IF I'm not
| good enough for bid, I'm not going"
| Even charity fails to draw a curtain
over pride-and prejudice.

has retreated to his private consulta-
| ton room just off his office in the city
| hall. Miss Blanche Bates, secretary,
| has been deputized to attend to all
| sympathizers and newspaper reporters.
| The reporters are very well satisfied.
