KEEP 7. RS. NAME OFF
Kansas ! Republicans Making Fight to
Aeep koosevelt's Name off Ballots

A Wichita (Ks.) news item, july 27.
says: After an all days conference
mere today between National Commit
teeman +. B. Stanley and Chester I.
Long, former senator, and Taft lead
ers, the fight that is to be made to keen
Roosevelt electors off the ballots in
November, was outlined. Conferences
were held by telephone with other Taft
leaders over the state. If the Taft
leaders lose before the state supreme
court, an appeal will be taken to the
U. S. supreme court.
Senator Long today made the follow
ing statement after the conference:
The purpose of the proceeding in
the district court of Harvey county. as
well as other proceedings that may be
brought in the future, is to give repub-
licans in Kansas who wish to vote for
Taft for president, an opportunity to do
80. If the names of the Roosevelt
electors are finally placed upon the No.
vember official ballot in the republican
column under the republican name and
emblem, then there will be no opportu-
nifty to vote for Taft in Kansas.
''This is contest for the use of the
republican name, emblem and column.
The question is whether these things
shall be used for the benefit of the re-
publican party, or whether they shall
be used to promote the interest of an
other party for president. 1t is GER
tainly fraud to have the names of
candidates for electors appear in the
republican column and thus receive re-
publican votes when these electors, if
chosen, will not vote for the only can.
didate that the party has for president.
II this cannot be prevented in the
courts, then resort will be had after the
primary to political tribunals estab-
lished by law, which have undoubted
Jurisdiction to prevent the consumma.
ton of this kind of fraud.
"Mr. Taft has no rival claimant fol
the republican nomination. One of the
defeated candidates for the nomination
is busy organizing new party. HI
does not claim to be the republican
nominee. The republican partyis ma
tional, not state party, and the toE
of the republican column in the No
vember ballot is reserved for the name!

pledge themselves to support the re
publican candidate for president ant

clares that he will vote for some othe

Very Busy Session.
MANY AWAITING SENTENCE.

Circuit court resumed it's grind on

all the week. The grand jury kept

Journed on Wednesday, after returning
48 true bills.
up to this writing-Tuesday after
noon-Judge Mclean has passed SEN
tence in but few cases, and thew are
only minor ones, but there are several
now awaiting his honor's edict to know
their terms in the state penitentiary.
Judge Mclean has been doing all he
can to clear the docket. but it is ap-
parent that it will be impossible. The
term of the court will expire by limita-
ton on Saturday, and the Judge has
already called special term to begin
in Montgomery county on Monday next.
1t has been long, long while since
there were as many cases disposed of
as have been at this term of the court.
The Jail was practically full, and be-
sides those in jail, the grand jury has
stirred up some business from other
places. Altogether the court has been
helpful to the county and the people
are congratulating the Judge, who is
held in the very highest esteem by the
citizens of this county, as we'll as his
able and earnest co-laborer, District

SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING
Held at Sparta Church on July 2Sth
was Very Successful One.

The beat Sunday school convention
held at Sparta church July % was a
success in every sense of the word.
The sermon in the morning by Bro
Ray was full of good points, anc more
than one left there after services the
better for having heard him preach.
There was little disappointment
felt by all in not having DR.. Sullivan
Of jackson to talk. His coming had
been looked forward to. After MORN
ing service was over, dinner was served
on the grounds; and if one has never
been at Sparta when they have dinner
on the grounds. take my advice and 90.
They will treat you right and see that
you get all you want.
After dinner everyone gathered in
the church fer the regular convention
work. The purpose of the gathering
was explained by P. P. Critz of Hol-
comb. Services were then begun by a
song, after which H. B. Miller Jr.
spoke for about fifteen minutes; sub
ject, 'The relationship and importance
of the Sunday school to the church. .
He was followed by Clifton Curle. Mr..
Curle gave a history of the Sunday
schools, their purposes, etc. He was
followed by Mr.. Critz, who talked of
the Faithful Steward. He was fol-
lowed by A. ]. Curry. Bro. Curry's
talk was the gem Of the day. The title
was 'The Pathway to Power"
Bro. Clark, Supt. of Sparta S. S.,
wanted to welcome the convention for.
mally, but was feeling too badly; yet
his presence was help and an honor
to US all. If we could have more mer
like Bro. Clark in this world, we would
have less work in spreading God
work.
After everything was over, the opin-
ion was, as whole, that Sparta woulc
be everybody's choice for next time.
