DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS

AS rapidly as possible R. L. Helv-
ering, chairman of the speakers bu-
reau at Democratic State headquar-
tiers, Is arranging bookings for var
ious speakers over the state. Re
Gently a letter addressed to the var
ious county ehairmen was sent out
asking for information regarding 10
cal speakers, dates of public occa-
sions in. the counties, etc., which will
be used as an aid in booking speak
ers.
It will be the aim of the speakers
bureau to furnish speakers as far as
possible for every section of the
state, and many of those who will be
sent out are men of national promi.
nence.
Among the notable persons whose
services have been engaged for some
time during the coming campaign
and who will make at least a few
speeches in the state, are Speaker
Champ Clark of the National House
of Representatives; Governor Thoma
R. Marshall, of Indiana, Democratic
nominee for vice-president; Senator
Thomas F. Gore, of Oklahoma; Sen
ator James A. Reed, of Missouri;
and the Hon. John H. Atwood, o.
Kansas City.
If possible, arrangements will b
made for other prominent speakers
including William Jennings Bryal
and, possibly, Governor Woodrow WI
son, the presidential nominee. Othel
! speakers probably will be arranged
for in the near future.

Henderson Martin of the Democratic
State Central committee, has issued

Seventh. In view of these, and
many other wrongs, derelictions, OPP
pressions, tyrannies and usurpations,
you have forfeited your right to the

impeached and ousted therefrom.
Charges SIanderous or Stubs Unfit.

dictment has ever before been made
against an officer in the state Of
Kansas by a responsible party, and l
believe the good people Of this state
will agree with me when l say that
either John Dawson has slandered
Governor Stubs or Governor Stubs
is unfit to hold any office Of public
trust.
Mr.. Stubs is the candidate of the
third-temers for United States sena-
tor and the Democratic candidate for
United States senator is Judge VIII
liam H. Thompson Of Garden City.
Judge Thompson during his primary
campaign stayed at home and attend.

been said derogatory Of his charac.

the public life of Judge Thompson
