Everything has improved remark
ably since the election, said MulVane.
Everything looks fine: me hepuDmi

stronger than a few months ago. ana
the work of the boys here TO-DAY Will

more to heal the wounds made IN the

fractional differences in the Repub-

! There cannot be three parties IN
Kansas" said Miller, land do not
believe that the ProgreSSives Will ever
put a ticket in the field. Such a policy
would mean only Democratic success

will be a general movement TO ADJUST

United States Senator Charles Cur
tbs is in Topeka for the banquet. he
is also here to help promote the mar
mony movement and believes that the
Progressives who disagreed with the
Regulars in the last campaign will re-
turn to the party after cool, deliberate
thought.
Il came home" said Senator Curtis.
Ito attend the Kansas Day banquet,
which I know will be largely attended
and I am confident that from the meet
ing here will go out a feeling which
will result in the Republicans of the
state getting together. l am satisfied
that when the men who formerly be-
longed to the Republican party, but
who left it last year, realize what has
been accomplished by that party in
the way of enactment of legislation in
response to the peoples request, they
will then give credit where credit is
due, and gladly return to the party
which they temporarily left in the
campaign of 1872
Senator Curtis will open a law office
in Topeka after the adjournment of
the present session of congress.
w. P. Hackney, of Winfield. was one
of the few men in the Kansas Day
crowd who opposes the harmony talk.
Personally, 1 am glad they left
said the Winfield lawyer in speaking
of the Progressives. "Of course ii will
mean a Democratic victory for few
years, but it will also provide a chance
to try out the other fellow while we
are settling our own differences. I
think it will take few years to get
back in shape again. Then we will
begin doing business at the old stand"
J. NJ. Simpson. of Mcpherson, ardent
Stubs and Roosevelt supporter in the
recent campaign, is here for the Kan
sas Day banquet. He win not join the
new Progressive party.
Il think we ought to get together
and quit our foolishness.'' said Simp-
son, who was formerly internal reve-
nue. collector. 1.-THE Republican party
is the progressive party and has al
ways stood for the progressive poll
cies."
Senator Lacey NJ. Simpson is a son
of J. NJ. Simpson. He has worked and
caucused with the Republicans in the
senate and like his father will stay
with the old party
