WANTS new hall
Mayor Billiard Says Auditorium
Will Not Do.
Banquet Room Needed for Con-
ventiOns, Mayor Declares.

Mayor Billiard believes that the city
of Topeka should have a mammoth
hall for banquet purposes-a hall that
would seat easily 1900 persons. The
city has it's big auditorium but with
out kitchen conveniences. The mayor
is in favor of a building with the ban
quet hall on the ground uoor.
Il never was more aware of this
need than at the Democratic banquet
in the Masonic temple the other
night the mayor said There we
were crowded up there like cattle and
many were unable to get anything to
eat.
when the telephone gong rang in
the middle of Woodrow Wilson's s
speech many persons thought it was
fire. Wagons in the alley below sug--
gested fire wagons. If one person had
made a move of fear there would have
been a stampede and many would
have been crushed. There we were in
the top floor of big building.
Topeka needs a banquet hall. 1t
should be used for headquarters of all
state conventions. 1 hope it can be
built in the near future"

Washington, Feb. PA dismal pic

by the federal bureau Of labor. With
scanty food and poor clothing, according
to the report these people exist in
crowded, company-owned houses. look

Between the Veterans ASsOcia-
ton and the Government.
FIGHT OVER THE OFFICES
The Old Soldiers Are in an
Ugly HumOr.
Situation May Again Call for
American Intervention.

Washington Feb. 24.=Another
crisis in Cuban affairs apparently is
at hand. Reports from the island IL
dicated that the unrest temporarily
quieted by Secretary Knox's recent
note of warning is about to break out
anew as a result of the Cuban su-
preme court decision invalidating the
law ousting office holders who were
Spanish sympathizers during the rev.
olution.
Literal execution of the courts de-
cree would involve the reinsta tenent
of a large number of displaced office
holders and dismissal of the sOcalled
veterans who were put in their places
With this in prospect, the leaders Of
the veteran association are said to be
in an ugly humor, and if they should
attempt to resist the decree, serious
trouble would ensue.
The veterans who are both numer-
Gus and powerful abated their de
mands for complete expulsion from
governm ent positions of all Spanish
symp pathizers only under pressure of
the implied threat of American inter
vention contained in Secretary Knox's
note informing the Gomez admins
tration that the United States would
insist on the maintenance of a Repub-
lican government in Cuba
DevelOpm are being awaited
with keen interest in official circles
here. 1t is believed the situation will
tax the resources of President Gomez

NOT STRONGEST MAN
Bryan Says Some Other Democrat
Could Poll More Votes.

Denver. Feb. Civilian J. Bryan,
in a speech here at a public meeting
definitely set at rest reports that he
might be induced again to make the
race for the presidency. In concluding
his address. he said:
I am satisfied that someone else can
poll more votes than myself, but I am
ready to enter upon a campaign on be-
half of a true Democrat with even more
vigor than that with which I have
Previously in his address which was
given under the auspices of no faction.
according to former Governor C. S.
Thomas. who introduced him. Mr..
BRYAN declared that the party's only
chance Of victory this fall was to nomi-
nate a progressive on a Ilatform that
is progressive
Speaking of President Taft and
former President Roosevelt he said.
When have we ever had in the ma
tion's history such a spectacle as that
of a man coming into the presidency
on the recommendation of one man and
going out of it on the condemnation of
the same man?
And now it seems they are plan
ming to violate precedents of a hundred
years by the nomination of the same
man, in order. if possible, to save the
Republican party from overwhelming
defeat.
IF I were to seek the nomination
again. it would be just like some Re
publican to raise the third term issue
and say that already had two terms.
I believe when a party has only one
man in 1t fit to be president it would
be better to bury the party and start
all over again
