Governor Stubs, who occupied a
seat near the rear of the park casino,
made a short talk following the speech
of Governor johnson. From what l

every word Governor Johnson said.
He is a man who has done great
things in his own state and has fought

1.-THE Republican party in Kansas is
different from the national Republican
party" declared L. w. Keplinger. land
the national party has no legal right
or authority to dictate to the state
party, nor can the federal courts die
tate as to how electors may be named,
or who shall be named to the electoral
college from Kansas"
The contention of the eight Kansas
electors is that President Taft and Vice
President Sherman were renominated
for reelection by fraud.
When court opened Judge Sanborn
announced that he would hear the ar
guments. leaving to Judges John E.
Garland of washington and William H.
Munger of Omaha ether cases to be
considered.
D. R Hfte, who opened the case,
argued for the plaintiffs that so long
as the names of eight electors We're OBJ
tanned ny irregular methods. they had
no right to be placed on the regular
ballot.
DoIley Charges F'raud.
John Dawson, attorEy general, asked
the court for an opinion as to whether
the names of Theodore Roosevelt and
Governor Johnson and William H. Taft
and James S. Sherman could be placed
on the same ticket. 1t was in antici-
patton of a request for such an opin-
ion that Mr.. Hite made contention that
Roosevelt electors should not hold a
place On the regular Republican prf-
mary ticket.
l. w. Keplinger, representing the
eight electors who declared for Roose-
welt, read two a%-lavits, one bv ]. N
Dolley, chairman Of the Republican
state committee, and the other by Johu
H. Stewart. Mr.. Dolfey in his affidavit
declared it was his belief that VIII
liam H Taft and James S. Sherman
were nominated at the Republican con-
vention at Chicago by fraud and they
were not the regular nominees of the
rarty: that the Roosevelt faction rep
resented the Republican party in Kan
sas, and the eight of the ten electors
who declared for Roosevelt should be

heroic and thrilling rescues become
numerous. One particularly spectacu-

Ter. his wife and two children of
Avella in Washington county by Rev.
B. f. Heaney, pastor of the Presby

crashed against a railroad culVert, and
the family washed down stream. Three
children were hurled on the bank and
escaped while Endler, with his wife
and two other children succeeded in
catching hold of branches of a tree.
Mr. Heaney heard their cries and pro-
cured help. Getting a rope he fastened

held one end of it he plunged into the
torrent and made for the marooned
family. Eight times he was washed
past the flood victims refuge and was
hauled out to try it over again.
Finally he reached the tree, the rope
was fastened about Mrs. Endler and
she was dragged through the torrent

marooned pastor and the EndIers Il

which was carried up stream ana

San Diego, Sept. 3.-Residents Of
Oceanside, which recently voted
against the licensing of saloons, have
forwarded a petition to the city coun-

The petitioners say that despite the
liquor restrictions, people there are

it would more than meet the expenses

County IerkC Files Answer in
Mandamus Suit.
Wants Court to Compel Board
Education to Raise Levy.

The answer of County Clerk thinner
man, standing pat on his refusal to
extend what he considers the illegal
levy of the board of education, was
filed in the mandamus case brought
against the clerk by the board last
week. The answer was filed this morn
ing. Late this afternoon or perhaps
not until tomorrow morning the case
will be threshed out before Judge A
w. Dana and judgment rendered.
The clerk cites law and shows the
state of the bonded indebtedness of the
board, and concludes by asking that
a peremptory writ of mandamus b
denied and that instead the court make
an order compelling the board to make
and certify a legal levy.
The clerks answer to the mandamus
follows out the position ne has taken
with reference TO the levy for sinking
fund. He denies that the board of ed
ucation has certified any levy of taxes
for the year 1912 as required by law.
declaring that the levy is Illegal and
that he knowing it to be illegal, would
lay himself liable both civilly and
crimina1ly if he proceeded to extend
Going over the situation thinner
man shows that there are outstanding
refunding bonds in the aggregate of
S2O1, 261, and AYERS that provision for
the payment of such bonds is demand
ed by statute in sinking fund, to be-
gin 20 years before the maturity OF
the bonds which shall amount to one
twentieth of the face of the bonds, or
in case of 15-year bonds, to one-f1f-
teenth of the face of the bonds, etc.
Owe Interest, Too.
The answer AYERS that on August 1.
last, the board owed the sum of $1,000
in past due interest which it could not
pay, the levy for interest in 1911 hav
ing been insufficient to take care of the
annual interest on the outstanding in
debtedness. He AYERS that the levy
for interest for years has been INSULT
Gent to pay the interest, leaving de-
ficitS in the fund.
The clerk also AYERS that the board
of education also has failed to make
sufficient levies for general, building
and repair funds with the result that
warrants bearing interest at the rate
of per cent have been hoated in vio-
seek to compel the board to increase
these levies, having admitted before
his lack of authority there.
History of Bond Issues.
The history of the present outstand-
ing bonds with the date of issue,
amount, rate OF interest date of ma
turity, and amourt necessary to be
raised for a sinking fund is given in
a table attached to the petition. The
first two issues mentioned bear inter-
est at the rate of per cent while
the other issues bear 4 per cent in
terest The clerk calls attention to
the fact that no provisions ever has
been made to provide for the final pay
ment of the bonds IN question.
The table shows the following, with
the total of refunding bonds outstand-
ing, and the total sinking fund that
should be provided annuany.

Thanksgiving.

Today is Thanksgiving day. 1t
is to be hoped the day will be
fittingly observed and not desc
Grated as it usually is by only
feasting and reveling. True e.
nough, it is mans attempt TO do
honor to his creator for the bOun-
tiful yield of good things, but
why should not this nation set a
part at least one holy day for
such purpose? Then let each one
of us do our part to have the day
universally observed. We can
only do our part, but our part is
all that we will have to account
for.
