THEIR PATHS CROSS.
Gov. Wilson and Gov. johnson Cam
paign in Connecticut.

New York. Sept. Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson and Gov. Hiram
Johnson were to invade Connecticut
today. The former was scheduled to
make an afternoon address at Hart
ford. This evening he goes to New
Haven for a meeting, while Governor
Johnson's program took him to New
Haven for the afternoon and Hart
ford for the evening.
What about the primary result in
New Jersey?" Governor Wilson was
asked.
rs anybody surprised?" said he.
What moral do you draw from the
result, GOVERNOR"
The moral is that the bosses can't
rule in New jersey
Governor Wilson's ability to sleep
soundly was evidenced at his hotel
when the hotel automatic fire alarm
on his floor went off en- three sep
arate occasions without disturbing
him. His brother. Joseph r. Wilson,
on the floor below, sprang out of bed,
as did many other guests, and retired
again when no fire was discovered.
Crossed wires caused the alarm to
ring.
You would make a good volunteer
fireman" Joseph Wilson said to the
nominee.
When. I go to bed" replied the
governor, Il Sleep"

SPALDING TO GAMES.
Daddy of Baseball Favors Giants in
Coming Clash.

Los Angeles. Cal, Sept. 25.-A. G.
Spalding, the daddy of baseball, who
now makes his home in San Diego,
passed through Los Angeles en- route
to the east to be on hand when the
worlds series between the New York
Giants and the Boston Red Sox is
staged.
The grand old man of the game new
er misses a world series and this year
he figures will be one of the greatest
in the history of the game.
Mr.. Spalding said the Red Sox I'M
doubtedly have great team, but he
believed that the experience of the
New York players will offset the
strong machinery of the Bostonians.
The terrific strain which the players
have to undergo in a series of cham
pionship games is noticeable even
among the veteran players, and a team
composed of men who have practically
been immune from such a situation
will feel the strain a great deal more
than the Giants.

GARDNER MUST FACE TRIAL.
He Worked Shortchange Game or
Rock Island Train.

Upon arraignment in the county
court on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses the case of John
Gardner was set for preliminary hear
ing next Tuesday, October 2. Gard
ner is charged with working a ICON
game on Louis r. Thoerner of I'll
Paso, Tex, by which he secured $50
in money and made his escape. The
game was worked on the Rock Island
train. Gardner was arrested shortly
after the train left Topeka by Chief
Special Officer John Rossiter of the
Rock Island.
Gardner is said to have $3.50 in a
bank at Liberty, Mo-, and the plea 70
be entered for him may be that OF
insanity, some of those who have been
watching the case believing that he
is demented. At least he has a very
poor memory, and could not even tell
his attorney, it is said, in what bank
his money was deposited. He also has
told mixed stories of being a travelling
representative of several Chicago
firms.

designed to disfranchise regular Re-
publicans. hence no fight will be made
on the county ticket-Fort Scott Re
publican.
1t is believed that within ten days
over 1000 Republicans will have been
signed up in the Republican Party
lie lgue in this county. In the MEM
bership of the Independence league
are some ten or a dozen men who
were active in the Roosevelt move
ment before the national convention,
but who declare they are Republic
cans and are opposed to destroying
the Republican party. The move
ment has gained wonderful impetus
and the general feeling in this county
is that the Republican state ticket IS
doomed in Kansas The feeling against
the Bull MooSerS for obstructing the
way for Republicans to vote for the
Republican candidate is intense No
such uprising has ever before been
known in this part of Kansas. 1t is
sincerely to be regretted that the lead
ers are permitting the unfortunate
condition to drag along until there
can be no hope of bridging the
chasm. Independence Reporter.

Chairman Dolley complains that the
democrats are accusing Stubs of
spending his time outside of his Of
flee, and letting the office run itself.
And Dolley wants this paper to pub
liSh an article denying the charge.
We had no idea that any man would
ever claim that Stubs did anything
else than CAD about the country and
spend his contingent fund and let the
office of governor take care of itself.
The Democrats never made any truer
charge in their history, and if they
will confine themselves to such state
history as the most honest party that
figured in the campaign of 1912. What |
Dolley aims to accomplish by deny
ing such truths is something beyond |
our comprehension. Dolley will have
to change his tactics if he cuts much |
ice among the people who have casu- |
ally observed the conduct of Stubs |

Dolley is going he will soon be send |

Influential Papers in List of G..
O. P. Champions.

There is small Indication that the
Kansas press will abandon its fight on
the Bull Moose candidates for state Of
hces. even though the Roosevelt cleo
tors are to be withdrawn from the Re-
publican ticket. Out in the country dis
tricts, the weekly papers have taken uF
the ultimatum of J. s. Dean, presldeht
of the Republican League, and demand
that every candidate for state, con-
gressional or legislative office who pro-
poses to support the Roosevelt electors
shall be marked for slaughter in the
November election
Some of the strongest Republican pa
pers in the state have Joined in the
movement to repudiate the stand Oh
Stubbs Capper and the other ProgIes-
sives occupying places on the RepuoL-
can ticket. Here are a few sentiments
expressed by publishers OF wen KNOWN
Kansas papers:
The Progressives' action in prepar-
ing to get off the Republican ticket
where they do not belong ana on the
Independent ticket where they do pc
long is not an evidence of their fax
ness but an evidence that they are
Scared Stiff. The wonder is not that
they finally crawfshed on their attempt
to steal the Republicans votes for
third marty but that they were sc
blind as to think they could delib-
erately in broad daylight commit
burglary and not have the Republicans
resent the action. The Republicans of
Kansas are not in the habit of lying
still while another party walks off with
their votes and the Progressives will
find in November that there are plenty
of Republicans in Kansas to make
their protest Neutrality-suspicious. Refec-
tor.
Fearing that the condemnation of
public opinion will prove disastrous tc
their tricky scheme of placing Bull
Moose electors on the Republican ticket
the conspirators are hustling to hedge
and if possible, secure some little con-
sideration from the outraged voters of
the Republican party. This newest pro-
position is only a ruse to save the
Bull Moose state ticket, rather than
the result of conscientious scruples.-
Clay Center Republican.
The fundamental fight the League
has embraced is a fight to put Bull
Moose presidential electors off the Re
publican ticket in Kansas and to put
Republican electors on the ticket.
This is the fundamental fight of the
League.
In lighting this iniquity it will neces-
sarily tight some of the state leaders
of the party who are bolstering up
the iniquity, but the League recognizes
the county candidates are in no way
responsible for the vilIainous condi- !
