POLITICAL GOSSIP
Democrats Denied Advertising
in Capper Publications.
Senator Hodges at Wichita Re-
plies to Charges.

Henderson Martin, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, wanted
some advertising space in the Capper
publications. He offered to pay full
advertising rates, guaranteed that his
copy would not be Objectionable. But
not ore inch of space could Martin
buy to refute charges against Demo-
cratic nominees in the Cappe- papers.
And now Martin is wroth-
Trouble started when the Capper pa
pers, justly or unjustly, quoted George
H. Hodges Capper's running mate
With the statement that he wished
Col. Bill Sapp was the Democratic
senatorial nominee rather than Judge
THOMPSON. Martin says the CaDper
papers refused to print retraction OF
this story or any statement giving
Hodges side of the controversy. Then
the Capper papers hitched Hodges IN
the harness with the men who have the
interests of the lumber trust at heart
Hodges wanted reply in these papers,
but Martin says he could not get it.
Il have never known such an unfair
policy to be pursued in any cam
paign,' said Martin. There is scarce
a newspaper large or small whose edi-
tor is so unfair as to refuse to per-
nit the discussion of both sides of a
question in his paper. But that is
just the condition in this fight. Cap
per's papers have tremendous cir
culation. He has used this circula-
ton to further his own candidacy and
has refused to give both sides of any
controversy or to even permit a reply.
Now the paper fiat footedly refuses to
sell us advertising space in which to
make reply to some of the most vicious
charges against the Democratic can
didates.
Il called on the advertising managers
of Gamer pa DerG last
tinued Martin. land told them | want
ed to buy space for the committee in
both the Capital and Mail and Breeze.
I assured them that the copy was not
Objectionable. Did they sell me space
They certainly lid not. 1 was turned

pose as reformers and argue to the
crowd for honesty and a square deal

TONIGHT! TAKE A
ssCASCARET" SURE
No Sick Headache, Bilious stomach
Coated Tongue or COnstipated
Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out-the headache.
the bi1iousness, the indigestion, the
sick, sour stomach and foul gaseS-turn
them out tonight and keep them out
with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset
stomach
Don't put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse and regulate
your stomach; remove the sour, un
digested and fermenting food and that
rnisery-making gas; take the excess
bile from your liver and carry out
of the system all the consttpated waste
matter and poison in the intestines and
bowels. Then you will feel great
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A 10-cent box
from any drug store means a clear
head, sweet stomach and clean,
healthy liver and bowel action for
months Children love to take Cas-
carets because they taste sood-never
grippe or sicken. -Adv.

BASEBALL IN 1918.
Directors of It. b. \. Will Put Up
More Mo ney.

AS announced in the State journal sew
eraI weeks ago baseball in Topeka viii oe
continued next year. This was decided ar
a meeting of the board of directors heid
last night in the office of F. P. Metzger
of the German-American bank The I'll
rectors looked over the report of tie
audit of the association books, noted the
losses and prepared for report which
will be made to the stockholders at the
meeting to be held next week
The chief losses of the season here are
the result of the long season The Topeka
officials urged a short season last year IN
the Chicago Western League meeting but
were outvoted in favor of the long sea
son. This season has made the local
baseball men still more strongly in favor
of the short schedule and that was the
chief feature of last nights discussion
The money invested in players during
the season just closed is not counted as
lost Much of it is more than secured oy
the players purchased. All bills of the
association have been paid and tic
deficit is secured by notes of the assoc1a-
ton. The directors have showed no dis
position to get out from beneath the team
despite. two years of losses. There VIII be
no changes in the management.

ne branded the statements made IN

reflection upon the integrity of all the

The Southern Pacific railway and
Oregon Agricultural College poultry
demonstration car was run on the
siding on Trade street near the freight
depot this morning at $3.50, quite a
crowd being gathered to welcome its
coming, and to see the beautiful birds
exhibited thereon. The car is in
charge Of Professors j. Dryden and
c. c. Lamb, Of the o. A. c., assisted by
a couple Of bright-eyed, pleasant faced
O, A. c. students
A big pen of Barred Plymouth
Rocks was on the street, and in the
car the lords and ladies of hendom
were occupying their special sec
tions.
The car was literally hung with
placards, showing hen records and
which particular hen and her nation
ality that made it-or both of than.
The exhibit is highly educational,
and the horse editor learned more in
ten minutes about hens, eggs, pullets,
ccckerels, incubator and chicken feed
than his wife has learned in-he re-
fuses to say how many years he
knows better.
Prof. DRYDEN put the object Of the
college in its poultry branch in a few
words: "A 2Co-egg hen and 2-ounce
egg" Tie goal is a perfect hen;
motherly home-making hen, that will
lay and produce a progeny true to
type-wnu in turn, will lay and he
motherIy and home-loving. Professor
Dryden pointed out that this was be-
ing accomplished by selection, and
showed two big Plymouth Rocks hens
looking, so far as the horse editor
could see, exactly alike, but one of
them had record of 240 eggs in
year and the other A. The poorer
layer had saucy, wear-your-hat-on-
the-back-of-your-head sort of look and
somehow reminded one of Mrs. Jack
Cudahy-maybe that was the handi-
cap that spoiled her egg record. AN
other Plymouth Rock had the record
Of 259 eggs in a year, while another
