Heaviest Vote on Record Ex-
pected at Primary.
Many Fights for Nomination in
Both Parties.
EIGHTY Per CENT MAY VOTE
GubernatOriaI and Senatorial
Contests Bitter.
But These Are OvershadOwed
by Presidential Fight.

With less than week remaining un-
til the opening Of the August primaries,
Kansas politicians are beginning to pre-
dict the largest vote ever polled in
primary in the state. Because OF the
bitterness engendered in the factional
fights, because Of the close drawing OF
the lines of party sentiment and the
nationwide interest in the presidential
situation it is believed that every
voter who can possibly get to the polls
next Tuesday will cast a ballot for his
faVorite candidates.
According to ]. N. Dolley, state bank
commissioners and chairman of the Re
pubIican state central committee, the
vote this year will be unusually large.
Perhaps as high as so per cent OF the
Republican strength in the state will be
accounted for at the primaries, accord
ing to the Dolley figures.
Big Vote, Says DoIley.
.I have been told by men who are
looking after the registration of the
voters that the registration is the heav-
lest the cities have ever known. That
is significant. 1t means that the vote
will be very heavy and 1 would not
be surprised to see 70 or even 80 per
cent of the normal Republican vote in
the state cast in the primaries. AS for
the Democrats, 1 think their vote will
equal so or perhaps 20 per cent of the
party strength in the state"
At the primaries four years ago.
when Bristow and Long conducted
their memorable fight for the United
States senate, the Republicans register
ed Sc per cent of their total vote in
the primaries. Two years ago the fight
for the gubernatorial nomination be-
tween Stubs and Wagstaff was less
bitter and a little more than 40 per cent
of the party strength was accounted
for in the August primaries of 1910. In
both of these campaigns, the Demo-
cratic vote in the primaries was about
Is per cent of the party strength in the
state. Either the Democrats failed TO
vote, or there was some occasion for
the numerous reports that members of
the minority party entered the Repuo-
lican primaries to assist the reform
cause. This year there is a serious
fight in both parties and both Demo-
cratic and Republican leaders believe
that party lines will be closely adhered
to and that few peopleawiH desert their
party to assist in the fight in another
party. 81
In event the voters take a hand in
the fight in the ranks of the opposi-
ton party next week, it will probably
be the Republicans who will-this~year

"DRY" ORDER TO EMPLOYEES.
Lackawanna Railroad Bars Liquor,
Both on and Of Duty.

New York, July 31-Employees of
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
railroad must not drink, either on or
off duty. Neither are they allowed to
play poker during hours Of idleness.
All of this appears in the new amend
ing rule G of the transportation de-
partment of the line. A part of this
amendment reads:
THE use of intoxicants while on or
off duty or the visiting of saloons or
places where liquor is sold, incapaci-
tates men for railroad service and is
absolutely prohibited. Any violations of
this rule by employees will be sufficient
cause for dismissal"
Investigation of the recent disastrous
wreck at Corning, N. Y, led to the
issuance of the order. George A. Gull
len, traffic manager of the road, today
said:
The company realizes that in this
departure it may be criticized for pur-
suing an extreme course, but it rests
assured that public sentiment will sup
port its position in view of the great
risks involved. Spending time playing
poker is just as bad as dissipation by
drink, for loss of sleep surely tends to
make men stupid while at work.

Oklahoma City, Ok, July 31--An-
nouncement is made by John W. Shar-
tel of this city, who is at the head OF
the proposed Northwestern railroad
from Oklahoma City to woodward,
that active work is to commence by
October l. Mr.. Shartel states that
while there are few matters still de-
laying actual construction work things
are well enough advanced so that there
is no doubt of the commencement OF
work by that time.
Rock Island officials are planning to
extend the Enid-Billings branch of that
road on east through the 101 Ranch to
Bliss on the main north and south line
of the Santa F'e. The line as it now
any good at all, and it is figured that
by a comparatively small expenditure
it could be made a revenue producer.
The present line is 80 miles in length
and the proposed extension would mean
the building of 80 miles more.
Figures prepared by the Oklahoma
corporation commission show that Ok
lahoma railroads have altogether con-
structed sos miles of main track in the
state in the last three and a half years.
There were 20 miles of road built in
1909 1873. 80 in 1910, 1888 in 1911 and
$50 in the first half of 1912. During
the three years only SO miles of side
