ANOTHER T. R. ELECTOR
Dorsey Green of Second Kansas Dis
tI'ict Speaks.

Kansas City, July 8.-Two Kansas
presidential electors have declared
that they will vote for Roosevelt. They
are R. c. Postlethwait of Jewell City
and Dorsey Green of Kansas City,
Kan. Mr.. Green said yesterday that
he was progressive and expected to
stand for the principles of that party.
He was chosen at the state convention
at independence
Mr.. Green issued a signed statement
yesterday making his position clear.
1t read:
81 am thoroughly a progressive and
stand upon that principle. I was rec
commended as one of the presidential
pendence, Kan, because of that pro-
gressiveness. AT that convention about
eight hundred were progresSives and
stood upon che principles advocated
by Theodore Roosevelt. Less than
one hundred and fifty represented the
principles for which the present ad-
miniStration stands.
There will be placed upon the bal
lot candidates for presidential electors
by the present administration for the
purpose of supporting and continuing
the administration of William Howard
Taft. These candidates are in opposi-
ton TO the regularly recommended
progressive candidates selected by an
overwhelming majority. In the event
that 1 am elected at the August pri-
mary by a majority of the voters
which represent the progressive SEN
timent so apparent at the state con-
vention, I shall consider it direct in
struction to vote for Theodore Roose
welt, if he is a candidate, as the pre-
emiAnent progressive, and so will
vote.
IF he is not a candidate I shall
consider my election as an Instruction
to vote for the true progressive candi-
date. In the event that there should
not be a progressive party-more truly
progressive than the existing party
| will reserve the right to vote for the
Republican nominee. am frank,
however, in stating that if there is
progressive party my vote shall be for
the nominee of that party

WOW, HELP, POLICE!
Jack CurIey Says Flynn Was Robbed
of Fight.

Chicago, July SACK Curley, pro-
moter of the Johnson-Flynn battle at
Las Vegas, has returned to Chicago
with his wife, prepared to remain
until he gets something good in the
line of another battle for Flynn
Curley does not hesitate to say that
Flynn was robbed of the world S
championship by the police captain
who jumped into the ring and stopped
the battle, merely for the purpose OF
getting into the limelight and showing
some authority.
Curley further AYERS that Captain
Forno of the mounted police had no
interference, if attempted should
have come only from the sheriff as he
was the man with the authority. But
Fornoff jumped into the arena and
before anybody knew what had hap
pened the fight was over and a de-
cision rendered.
FLYNN was beating Johnson and
would have stopped him few rounds
more but for that interference" said
Curley "It was a shame to rob him
of championship that way The best
experts at the ringside agree with me
in this w. w. Naughton frankly says
that he thinks Flynn had great
chance to win had the fight gone on.
johnson unquestionably is facing
in another fight wit ha fair deal, but
I am willing to let Jim fight it out with
AL PaIzer, the winner to get Johnson.
Flynn can beat any white man in the
game and have some money that says

LIGHTS FOR FAIR
New System of Lighting at
Fair Grounds.
Permanent System to Hum
mate Entire Grounds.
TUNGSTEN LIGHTS FOR TRACK
More Walks Being Built Over
Grounds.
Machinery Exhibit to Cover
Ten Acres.

The state fair grounds will be a
blaze of light September 9-13 while the
exposition is in progress. L. E. Halt,
who has been appointed as superintend-
ent of electric construction and lights,
will have charge of the installation of
"a permanent lighting system.
There will be hundreds of lights on
the grounds. The quarterstretch will
be especially brilliantly Illuminated, as
there a wild west show will be staged
each evening. A year ago there was
a bug plague in front of the grand
stand. The danger of invasion by an
army of insects will be done away with
by the replacing of the old arc lights
by Tungsten burners.
Many improvements are now being
made on the grounds. A walk is be-
ing constructed from the main en-
trance to the grandstand; consequently
mud need not keep people away from
the grounds fair week in case of ad-
verse weather conditions.
The fair is assuming large propor-
tions," said Secretary H. L. Cook to-
day. There is already enough space
engaged for machinery to fill ten acres
of ground. Late entries in this class
will have to be placed in odd spaces
on the grounds.
