Makes Gain of Over 50,000 Votes on Second Special Offer and is First Con testant to Reach 100000 Vote Score.
TWO MORE EXTRAS
 WILL BE AWARDED

 Vote Count Daily.
 The vote scores will appear every day next week The last count of the ballots by the contest depart ment will be made Friday, March Sth. and the results will be published in Saturdays Republican, March 9th. All the votes cast the last day of the contest will be counted by the contest judges who will make the award of the prizes.
 Adhere to Rules.
 When the contest started q cod3 of rules was presented to each can ddate and all have adhered strictly to them from the start.
 The Contest Department has been asked numerous times how high the total vote would run. how many votes it will take to win out in each dis trict. and how big vote it will take to win the grand prize. In every in stance the answer was. it was i'm possible to tell.
 We have been asked how high the votes run in other contests of this kind and in cities of this size. In reply to such an inquiry. we can hardly compare vote standings of one contest with another. as different schedule of votes used on different contests would make it impossible to compare results.
 While it is impossible to tell any thing of the result of The Repub- lican's voting contest. it is we'll not to let opportunity slip by to get the votes: you might need them. and need them badly. on the last day, and then it will be too late.
 You have only ten days left to work, and you want to make every lick count.

The Case of Darrow.

The case against Clarence DarrOw, the socialist lawyer indicted at Los Angeles for conspiracy to bribe d juror in the McNamara case. is in some respects a most peculiar one Aside from the main feature of the proceeding. involving as it does the alleged attempt of man well to the top in the legal profession to poison the well springs of society and defeat the ends of justice by assisting in bribing a juror. sis the curious mental

processes that controlled Darrow if he is. in fact, guilty.
 Darrow is in some respects re- markabc man. He is in no sense a great man. but he is wonderfully shrewd For that reason he has been successful. He has built up a large practice. an enormously paying prac tice, to which his alingment with the socialists brought him large rev enue He has been conpicuous as q generous defender of the weak and the oppressed-for fees of large mag nitude. His righteous indignation at the arrest of the McNamaras-martyr for the cause of labor, as they were frequently called-was fed into a liv ing flame by S5O,O0O retainer Most any man could be righteously indig nant for S5o.OOO
 But if Clarence Darrow entered in- to a conspiracy to bribe the two men, Lockwood and Bain. his act was clownish in it's stupidity. The alleged act, if it was done at all, was done through the connivance of at least one other man. If Darrow is guilty. Bert Franklin knew all the time he was guilty Bert Franklin is the man who did the actual work. Bert Franklin, if the alleged facts in this case are correct. for months has held the honor and perhaps the liberty of Clarence Darrow in his hands. Is it conceiv- able that a man with the shrewdness of Darrow would commit so coarse a blunder as that?
 on the other hand. if Darrow is not guilty. who is? Not Bert Franklin alone Nobody believes that. Bert Franklin was once deputy sheriff. He is not rich man. He was not able to throw his own money around by the thousands of dollars The money with which to commit this bribery was supplied by somebody else
 Then. Darrow knew of the guilt Of his clients Also. he knew the char acter of the evidence in the hands of the state He knew McManigal. one of the dynamiters. had confessed. He knew Captain Fredericks had a dead open -and-shut case against the dyna- miters Yet the case was going to trial-and there is every reason to believe it would have gone to trial with Darrow in command of the forces of the defense. if it had not been for the bribery explosion.
 Next Darrow had control of the defense fund, and an enormous fund it was. It was greater by tens af thousands of dollars than needed for any legitimate defense The money was turned over to this man He was to use his best judgment in spending it If the money came from that fund it would be hard to believe that Dar- row did not know what it was to be. spent for. If it didn't come from that fund. from what fund did it come?
 It is a most unfortunate case. The cause which Darrow in sense re- presents and typifies has already sui fered immeasurably through the re velations in connection with this out rageous dynamite plot and the whole sale murder which it engendered; and if it be shown that its chief defender is guilty of the dangerous crime CT jury bribing. it will suffer still more

CURTIS COULDN'T COME
COwIey County Old Soldiers Pass
Resolutions of Regret.

Old soldiers in CowIey county re-
sent the press dispatch of the Kansas
| City Star which recently declared that
| the veterans refused to hear the
| speech of Senator Curtis and cancelled
his speaking date. 1t is claimed that
Curtis was unable to fill his date be-
| cause of the condition of his voice. In
their resolutions the Cowley county
old soldiers said:
Whereas, There appeared in the
Kansas City Times of the 18th inst.
the following article:
Wouldn't Hear Curtis Weep. a
kansas soldiers reunion Cancelled the
d1sgruntled senator's date. Senator
Curtis, who was defeated by Governor
Stubs for denomination and who has
bolted the Republican ticket as far as
any Progressives are concerned, has
suffered a severe setback in spreading
his propaganda. Senator Curtis is
making dates over Kansas and max
ing speeches lamenting his defeat and
attacking the governor from every
conceivable angle.
THE senator made one of the
speeches at an old soldiers reunion at
Arkansas City last week and had a
date for an old soldiers reunion at
Winfield for this week, and he an
nounced that he expected to make the
speech. His date for Winfield has
been changed and another man given
his place on the program, because the
old soldiers did not like to hear a de-
feated candidate complain and attack
the man who defeated him
Now Therefore, We the old soldiers
in annual reunion convened, here and
now brand that publication as false!
Aye, UNANIMOUSLY false! And known to
be false when that miserable lying,
reasonable publication printed it,
Old soldiers and everybody else in
attendance upon this reunion were
grieved to learn of the indisposition of
the Hon. Chas Curtis. whereby he was
prevented from filling his engagement
here, and disappointed indeed that
they were not permitted to hear him.
All loyal men in Cowley county want
to hear him, and attend at his meet
ings when possible always, and the
Union soldiers, their sons, sonS-in-
laws, grandsons and their friends re-
sent the efforts of that sheet-oWned
by a copperhead coward during the
war of 1851 to 1865-to insult and be-
little Senator Curtis, and thereby our
selves, and we will visit our dispIeas-
ure at the polls in November upon
those in whose interests such sland-
ers are circulated.
The following telegram explains
why Senator Curtis could not be with
us:
Topeka. Kas, Sept 8.
Joseph Lafferty, Winfield, Kan.
Sorry to inform you my voice is in
such condition that l will not be able
to attend your reunion Tuesday voice
is worse. Hope you will have a grand
reunion.
"CHAS. CURTIS, TAI A. M"
The foregoing declartion of facts
was adopted September IL, 1912; and
Be it Further Resolved, That copies
hereof be furnished the Kansas City
Journal, the Topeka State Journal. the
Traveller, the Courier, and the Free
Press, with requests that the same be
published therein, and also one to
Senator Curtis.

MOB TAKES CITY
HoOdIumS Riot Unchecked in
Duluth for Hours.
Strike Breakers Beaten and
Much Property Destroyed

Duluth, Sept. 13.-Hoodlums took pos
session of Duluth streets today and
with the strike of street car employees
as an excuse, rioted for hours in al
parts of the city Nonunion car con-
ductors and motormen were beaten, the
cars and other property of the COM
pany were wrecked and in one instance
shots were fired IN defiance of police
who tried to dispense a particularly
vicious crowd near the barns. At least
two strikebreakers were seriously in
jured by mobs and nearly a dozen 9th
ers were stoned and driven from their
posts. The authorities asserted that
the riot leaders were iron workers en-
ployed in boiler shops and foundries.
The police force found itself out
mum bered in almost every instance. As
fast as one disorder was quieted an
other would break out blocks away.
Company officials and commercial in
terests declared that troops were nee
essary and plans were laid for APP
pealing to the governor for aid.

Nov to return to the capture of the
buffaloes:
1t took twelve minutes to throw the
first bull. Scout" Maish dropped
rope around the neck of the animal
at his first trial Other ropers threw
the lassos over, under and around the
fleeing buffalo-he always eVaded
them. Once he leaped through a swing
ing lasso-at another time he stop
ped, lodged and swung through the
trees away from the horsemen AT
times he outran the swift ponies The
second animal was grounded by cray
ton banks, the champion rough rider.
1t took ten minutes for the roping OF
this bison.
Owed at the Oxen.
The first buffalo was dragged from
the pen, roped around the leg, the
horns and the neck and thrown to the
ground. With no little difficulty, amid
flying mud, kicking, snorting, and the
yelling of Chief Irwin. the young bull
was yOked with a huge OK and held
BY one of the horSemen. At one time
the buffalo ducked his head and steer
ed straight for the standing oxen A
mixup followed-but the cowboys
threw the angry bison to the ground.
The second animal spent his spare
RI nJro 10
holding him. The clever horse dodged
all attacks however, and no injuries
resulted After taken from the pen
he made a run through the crowd
dragging the rope around an automo-
bile and sending Mayor Billiard ana
his commissioners to the shivering
leaves in the trees. The excitement
was stopped abruptly by a jerk of the
ropes that sent the bull on his neck.
Finest Buffalo in Captivity.

shows at the fair grounds, stated this
afternoon that Joshua, the big bull in
the Gage park zoo was the finest ami

section of the country, but Topeka :

animal from Mr.. Stotts-but he will not
listen to my propositions.
The two bulls we purchased today
are pretty animals We will break them
and use them in our performances. Il
is probable that we will try to ride one
of them at the grounds today and
this evening.
The cowboys greatly enjoyed the
sport. After days of doing stunts be

for them to get a real taste of roping

1t was worth a months salary to
see the cowboys at workout to see

and barking the trees at Case
