REPUBLICANS DECLINING.

There seems to be an effort for
the Republicans to fill the various
Places on the county ticket in Bar
ton county. At the last minute be-
fore filing time closed for the pri-
mary election, petitions wer ceicu-
lated for DR.. Morrison for Repre-
sentative, Miss Kate keenan,, a Dem.
ocrat, for County Superintendent, Ed
Chapman for County Clerk, Peter
Bloom for County Assessor, Charles
Hall for County Treasurer, and Chas.
Mellies for Probate Judge. OF those,
four had declined Wednesday morn
ing, they being Morrison, Miss. Kee-
nan, Hall and MeNies. This passes
the matter up to the Republican Gen.
tral committee for their action, the
law giving them, we believe, until
thirty days before election to name
candidates.

n County Democrat fe the Best Places sh
CHECK UP TO HIGH COURT.

A test case to decide, once for all,
the question Of title to land along
the Arkansas river which is being
settled on by "squatters is to be
sent up to the state supreme court.
The case which will be checked I'D
to the highest court in the state for
a decision will go probably from Bar
ton county. This was the announce
ment Of F.. Dumont Smith, the attor-
ney who is looking after the interest
of the "squatters."
The court already has decided that
islands in the river are school land
and may be settled on. But the land
now in controversy is not island"
land in the commonly accepted sense.
Mr.. Smith contends that this land
at one time was island, and later by
the river changing channel courses,
became part. of the main hand. The
question now is whether this should
belong to the mainland owners as ae-
credied land, or whether it still re-
tains its identity as island land.
There is one case pending in the
Reno county district court. This is
a proceeding brought by Mrs. Helen
0bee Dana to eject Fred Hurst from
land in the river above Hutchinson
which Mrs. Dana claims belongs to
her.
Hcrst settled on this land on the
claim that it is am island and school
land.
Attorney Fred Dumont Smith, who
is interested in these ISLAND cases"
all up and down the river, asked
Judge Branine to continue the case
in the district court here until some
opinion can be had from the supreme
court in the similar matters involved
in the Barton county cases.
"The same proposition of law ap-
plies to all these cases, and will be
checked up to the supreme court in a
case from Barton county" said Mr..
Smith.
More filings are being made on this
river land, especially along the river
between Raymond and Pawnee Rock.
Practically every piece Of desirable
land has now been filed on. The
county clerk of Barton county is re-
fusing, however, to accept filings, on
the ground that it is really Jump
ing" land belonging to others.
Roy McMullen, an attorney of El-
linwood, who was refused filing by
the county clerk of Barton county is
now threatening mandamus proceed
ings. McMullen attempted to file on
land that is part of the farm of Fred
Panning, near EllinwoOd. Originally
there were but 100 acres there, and
rcw there are over 300 acres, the bal
ance being made land. "-Hutehin-

F. o, E. PICNIC At ELLINwooo.

The ninth annual picnic given by
the Fratemai Order Of Eagles at Et
-linwood last Monday was a big sue
cess in every way. The weather
was ideal for such an occasion and
everyone enjoyed themselves i'm.
mensely. There were all kinds d
attraction and concessions, both for
the old and young. The Elhnwood
band furnished the music for the oc.
casion.
In the afternoon the main attrac.
ton was the bali game between
ClaflGn and EIlinwood, which was one
OF the fastest games ever played in
this part Of the country. Both teams
had been strengthened for the game
and when one looked over the lineup
it almost assembled a Central Kan
sas State league game. Claflin got
the long end Of The 4 to / score In
the twelve inning contest. The game
was fast and suappy Throughout and
both teams played good bail. In the
twelfth inning, ON punching hits ard
couple of errors, Clafhn made
three runs. Bllinwood, IN their half,
got two men on bases, but could not
get the hit to bring In the runs ard
Claflin won.
In the evening the main attraction
was the big dance at the X. c. hall,
and this was again the largest attend
ed dance Of the season. The music
was fine and everybody had the best
time of their lives.
This Labor day picnic is am am
nual affair with the F. o. E. at Ell
linwOod, and by the large crowds
that have been attending these pic
mics it is evidenced that their ef-
forts are being appreciated by the
people of Barton county and next
year the boys will give a bigger ard
better one than ever.

White River Junction VT, Sept. 9.
The strength of the new Progress
sive party in its first lineup against
the older parties and the disappear.
ance Of the Republican majority for
the sitst time in ten years. and the
first time in the history of the state
In a presidential year. were the out.
standing features Of the state elec.
ton in Vermont today.
1t was apparent early In the even
ing that there had not been am elec.
tion by the people, although a suffi-
cient number Of Republican represen-
tatiyes were successful to seem to In
sure the choice Of Allen NJ. Fletcher
Of Cavendish by the legislature.
For many years political students
have pointed out that any decrease In
the Republican majority in Vermont
below the normal Of $4,000 has fol-
lowed almost invariably by the party
defeat in the presidential fight in No
vember. These majorities which hav
averaged close to 10000 In all the
state elections In Vermont in presi.
dend% years since 1892, were report
ed today by a bare plurality.
The Republican loss apparently
went in a great degree to the Pro
gressive and to a somewhat lesser ex.
tent to the Democrats.
The falling off 10 the Rpubelican
vote began with the first return while
the Progressiyes gained all along the
line, in some cases carrying towns
which had heretofore been regarded
as strongly Republican.
Yet the disaffection from the Re.
publican ranks did not extend very
far beyond the head OF the ticket.
Many towns that showed strong
Progressive tendencies sent Republi-
can representatives to the legislature
SC that the party leaders were early
assured Of a substantial majority on
joint ballot for governor, as the faiL
ure Of a candidate to get a majority
at the polls throws the election into
