FOR STATE OFFICE
Ross, AkerS and Dawson Sure
Iy Nominated.
Johnston for Supreme Court,
With Other Place in Doubt.

Returns received in Topeka today in
dicate the nominations of w. D. Ross,
for state superintendent; Earl Akers
for state treasurer and the renomina-
ton of John S Dawson as the Republi-
can nominee for attorney general Ross
is perhaps running behind either Akers
or Dawson, owing to a three cornered
fight. but his majority is claimed at
5000.
Because of the intense interest in the
presidential electoral, gubernatorial and
United States senatorial contests, re
turns were seldom reported on other
state offices. These returns began to
reach Topeka last night. Not all of the
counties have been heard from but the
nomination of Ross, Akers and Dawson
has passed the doubtful state, accord
ing to figures : progressive Republican
headquarters.
In a statement Today, Earl Akers said
that he believed his own majority would
reach 10000 From returns received,
Akers believed that Ross is easily nomi-
mated and has from 5000 to 10000 ma
ioritv. The denomination of John S.
Dawson, as attorney general, is con-
ceded by the progreSsiVes. Dawson Op-
posed Samuel Griffin, of Medicine Lodge,
a hand picked William Allen White
candidate It appears that Dawson's
majority will be in the neighborhood
of 15,OOO and may reach 10000.
In The three-cornered fight for su-
preme Justice nomination on the Re
pl1blican ticket, two to nominate, there
is no doubt that Justice Johnston is
renominated. The race between Justice
Burch and Judge Buckman of Win
field is close and there are no figures
available upon which to base an esti-
mate.
Walter Payne Comedies Nothing.
Walter L. Payne stated this after
noon that he was confident of obtaining
the nomination for state treasurer over
Earl Akers.

Chicago, Aug. S.-Your view of the
Progressive convention may depend
largely upon whether you have been
getting your facts raw or cooked;
plain, or with fancy garnitures.
Some of our estimable purveyors of
publicity, particularly those issued
from New York city, have been serv-
ing up Theodore Roosevelt nicely
broiled, and smothered in onions. The
colonel, Bill Flynn and George w.
Perkins constitute the party, they let
it appear, with the colonel and his
selfish ambitions the dominating fac
tor. The whole movement is a sad
eyed affair, two jumps ahead of the
undertaken, and with the hand Of
Nemesis outstretched to claim It's
own.
Lovers of highly favored foods,
with plenty of mustard and pepper
are very fond of having Colonel Roose-
welt served up this way. It seems
most appropriate and appetizing.
Perhaps you have been reading ac-
counts of a different tenor. You nl6y
have been told that the new party is
the embodiment of all that is clean
and honest in present day politics, and
that it offers the only solution for ma
tional problems. You might call this
pre- -digested food.

Whether or not Roosevelt is as bad
as he is painted by some. or as virtu-
Gus as so many of his followers be
lieve, it cannot be denied that he has
unclaimed good deal of a demonstra-
ton in this Bull Moose convention. 1t
is hardly true to say that the gather
ing is a dank, clamIny affair. 1t is
incorrect to say that Roosevelt is al
most the only person@of prominence IN
the movement, and that without mis-
personality, the whole enterprise
would shrivel up.
1t is fair enough to point the ac-
cusing finger at George w. Perkins
and ask the significance of his sup
port. 1t is quite permissible to inquire
whether Bill Finn is or is not a boss
in his new environment
At the same time, we shall be
obliged to take into account, if we are
equally fair, that Governor Hiram
johnson, and Judge Ben Lindsay, and
Jane Adams. and General Mcdowell,
head of the Confederate, veterans and
several hundred worthy persons who
have not taken part in conventions
before, are hardly to be counted in the
for selfish reasons, or
through any blind allegiance to T. R.

talk, they would be in the movement

plete returns, however, settled several
close fights, and determined to a GER
tainty the nomination of James A.
Troutman for state senator over n. y.
Burge; the nomination of James G.
Sinner for county commissioner over
John Sutherin, and the nomination
of F. E. Nipps for county commits
sioner from the city district over Ed
win L. O'NeiI. The results from all
of these contests were in doubt almost
until the last returns were in.
Nipps' majority over O'NeiI was 10
votes, while Sinner, in the Third
commissioner district, won by a like
majority. Troutman won over Burge
by a larger majority.
Complete returns gave Kiene still a
greater lead over Norton, showing a
nomination by about 1900 votes. The
complete returns also showed a great
er lead for Swayze over Zimmerman,
and increased Bowers lead over
Thomas.
In many respects the primaries in
Shawnee county were contradictory.
Curtis carried the county by a large
majority over Stubbs, the vote being
almost two to one for the Senator.
On the other hand Burge, for state
senator, whose chief plank in his plat
form was his pledge to support Cur
tis under any circumstances, went
down to defeat at the hands of Trout
man, a progressive. Burgess defeat,
taken in connection with the sweep
ing victory of the Senator, is one of
the contradictory things about the
primary that politicians are trying to
explain IN a dozen different ways.

Roosevelt, while the standard bearer
and spokesman of the new party, is

You may not agree with anything ia

For a man who has been so largely

Curtis Managers Will Contese.

At Curtis, headquarters this after
noon a contest was talked of in event
the final returns show that Stubbs is
nominated. Curtis managers would not
concede the defeat of their leader and
laid claim to several districts which
reports verified by the State Journal
showed were against them.
The Curtis forces claim two districts
in Sedgwick two in Butler, claim Ellis
worth. Cheyenne, Lane and Stanton
counties. They also declare that in
Chase, Coffey, Decatur. Geary. Gra-
ham, Kiowa, Linn, Logan, Marion,
Meade, Osborne and Trego; that the
Stubbs majority is so small that an
official count will be necessary to de-
eide the contest. Certain votes are said
to have been rejected in western Kan
sas counties and on these the Curtis
forces now base their argument of a
contest in event Stubbs wins
Reports verified by the State Journal
late this afternoon give Ellsworth coun-

as their candidate for president, and
Governor Hiram w. Johnson of CaI-
ifornia, as their choice for vice pres
ident.
Marking a new departure in the
proceedings of national conventions,
the two candidates Immediately were
informally notified of their nomina-
tion and in the midst of deafening
cheers, appeared before the delegates
to voice their acceptance and to pledge
their best efforts to the coming cam
paign.
The party formally christened itself
the Progressive party" leaving out
the prefix national" by which II has
heretofore been known, but provision
was made for the recognition of real"
progressives in any of the states by
whatever name they should be locally
designated because of state laws.
The convention adjourned at 1924
D. m, with the delegates singing the
'DoxoIogy'' in lusty voice. During the
three days it was in session there was
not a roll call nor ballot taken. The
delegates asked no such formalities,
either in placing their candidates In
nomination or in voting for them.
There was not a voice of opposition,
either to Colonel Roosevelt or Cover
nor johnson. The delay in nominat-
ing them was due to the large num-
Der of seconding speeches allowed.
Platform Summarized.
Preamble-'SThe conscience of the
people, in a time of grave national
problems has called into being new
party. born of the nations awakened
sense of Justice.
1--WE, of the Progressive party, dedi-
cate ourselves to the fulfillment of the
duty laid upon US by our fathers to
maintain that government of the peo-
pie, by the people, and for the people
whose foundation they laid.
1--WE hold with Thomas Jefferson and
Abraham Lincoln that the people are
the masters of their constitution to full
fill it's purposes, and to safeguard it
from those, who, by perversion of it's
intent, would convert it into an instru-
ment of injustice.
This country belongs to the people
who inhabit it. 1t is time to set the
public welfare in the first place"
The platform further declares:
THAT the old parties have become
the tools of corrupt interests, which use
them impartially to serve their selfish
purposes and that the new party
offers itself as the instrument of the
people to sweep away old abuses to
build a new and a nobler common
wealth"
Declares under heading "The Rule of
the People" for direct primaries for
the nomination of state and national
officers and candidates for the presi-
dency; for the popular election of Uni
ted States senators. and urges on the
states the use of the short ballot; with
responsibility to the people secured by
the initiative, referendum and recall

easy and expeditions method of amend
ing the federal constitution"
