Will be guaranteed to stand for a

taken up pretty fast, according to j.
H. Ulsh, treasurer of the banquet
committee.
The speakers this year include ex-
Governor a. NJ. Dockery of Missouri
and Gov. G. H Hodges of Kansas
Both will speak in an exultant note
it is predicted, on account of the re-
cent Democratic victories 1t is ex-
pected that the air of success will have
more to do with bringing the faithful
into Topeka for the occasion than
even the presence of Governor Wood

So Mr.. Ulsh would like to warn
Democrats who expect to attend the
meeting that they had better get their
tickets pretty soon or they may be
gone. The banquet will be two weeks
from next Saturday night.

armed himself in case of trouble with
a couple of ancient enemies, was TAX
en- away from "Goldie" Hawkins at
the courthouse by Sheriff L. L. Kiene,
in time to avert any trouble that
might have resulted. Hawkins was
waiting trial on a charge of violating
the prohibitory law. He met Bug
Higgins and Bud Muir in the hall and
some words were passed. Both sides
were getting warm when Sheriff
Kiene took hand in the game.
Come here" he said to Hawkins,
leading him away by the arm. "Give
me your gun
Hawkins produced the weapon, So

where it was easily of access Kiene
took possession of the gun and then
took possession of Hawkins, escorting
him to the county Jail Hawkins and
the two he was quarreling with have
been on unfriendly terms for some
time, it is said.

Senate Approves Massachusetts
Law This Morning.
No EmbIems at Head OF Harty
Tickets Hereafter.
NO MORE IGNORANT VOTING
Person Must Place Cross III
Individual Squares.
Saxap RenubIicans Voted
Against Measure.

The administrat ton forces IN the
senate this morning pushed through 10
passage a platform measure IN douple
oI1ick time A few minor amendments
dealing with grammatical and typo
graphical arrangements were the only
rags tied to the tail of the Democratic
kite. The bill provided for the adop-
ton of he Massachusetts ballot sys-
tenn in voting in this state
Seven Republicans voted against the
measure. They were: Carey of Reno,
I,ambertson of Brown Logan of Mitch
ell. Mahin of Smith, Price of Clark,
simpson of Mcpherson and Troutman
of Shawnee.
When this bill is enacted into law
and il provides that it shall be publlsh-
ed at once in the official state paper
Kansas will sail to the voting pre-
cincts under the Massachusetts ballot
nag. The headless ballot, as it is
called, was recommended by Governor
Hodges in his platform and message
to the legislature.
How the Ballot L. Voted.
Under the Massachusetts ballot law,
party embIems are not recognized. The
voting of roosters, eagles, clasped
hands and barnyard scenes is abolish
ed. A person votes for the candidates
by r. (meaning Republican, ID,
(meaning Democracy IS" tmeaning
SociaIist). The party initial is placed
behind the name of the candidate and
the candidates are grouped under the
office for which they are running,
The law primarily is adopted for the
purpose of abolishing illiterate and ig
norant voting in Kansas. Unless j
voter can read and unless he can un-
derstand his ballot it is impossible to
vote under the Massachusetts system
and vote legally. 1t will be impossi-
BILE for a man to step into a booth,
mark a square in a circle and step
out leaving a legal ballot behind him.
A square must be marked after the
name of each candidate.
The new law also recognizes first of
all the intent of the voter. No ball
lot can be invalidated because a cross
within square is not made with
mathematical precision. A simple iden-
tifying mark will be declared legal by
the judges.
Other changes and alterations of the
election law, submitted by different
senators which will be recognized later
in the session will give Kansas a new
system of voting and counting the bal
lots.

CONLEY SISTERS WIN.
Indian Burying Ground at Kansas City
Not for Sale.

Washington. Feb. 5.-The house has
passed the bill already passed by the
senate repeating the clause of the In
dian appropriation law of 1907 author
izing the sale of the Wyandotte burial
ground in Kansas City, Kan. The
Wyandotte Indians, by treaty executed
in 1885, ceded to the government the
land on which Kansas City, Kan, now
stands, but the treaty stipulated that
the burial ground be forever reserved
as the resting place of the Indians.
The act passed by congress in 1907
undid the restriction in the treaty and
provided for the removal of the bodies
buried there to the Wyandotte ceme-
terry at Quindaro, Kan. The surviving
Wyandottets, led by the Conley sisters,
made such an outcry and determines
fight against the proposed desecration
that the sale provided for never was
made Congress today reversed itself
o.. the matter and the Indians, led by
the three women, won.
