IellOWST until ne laQ boarded the
train. Then he discovered that they
were two girls, who were introduced
to him as Maude Robinson and Mabel
Davidson.
On the train the girls became so
noisy and attracted so much atten-
ton that a private room in the Pull
man was suggested.
Arrived in Chicago Vredenburgh
told O'Hara he had better come to
dinner with the party. O'Hara said
he would do so. Vredenburgh then
headed for the Sherman House,
where he did the registering.
And he registered for four persons,
signing the names of -. F. Miller
and wife, and at. D. Duncan and
wife of Springfield, Ohio" o'HaFa
did not pay any attention to what
was being entered on the register and
did not suppose he was being includ-,
ed in the party -
Then the game went on, and dur
ing the course of the evening the
party took particular pains to appear
in as many public places as possible.
The College Inn, the Lambs Cafe
and the Far East restaurant all were
visited, and the party attracted att
tention in each.
This became so much so that
0'Hara's suspicious at last were
aroused and he telephoned for Harry
Gibbons, bailiff in Judge MeDonald's
court, to establish an abb and give
him a chance to leave the party with
out being deliberately rude.
After the arrival of Gibbons,
0'Hara left the party about midnight
and went to the Press Club, where
he played cards. The party went to-
the Sherman House.

show that the breakfast sent up to-

Lieut.-Gov. Barratt O'Hara's own
story of how he walked into the trap
laid for him by the interests that
had sworn to "get" him because of
his connection between big business
and vice became public yesterday
evening.
The story was given out by County
Treasurer William L. 0'ConneIl, to
whom O'Hara told it after a Repub-
lican legislator and Under Sheriff
Dick Dullivan of Springfield had tried
to influence O'Hara through 0'Con-
nell.
It was known that 0'Hara was
leaving Springfield for Chicago at
noon on Friday, January II, by the
Alton limited.
Thomas d. Vredenburgh, the mil
honaire lumber merchant and round
er, told O'Hara that they might as
well travel together, since he, Vred-
enburgh, was going on that train,
too, and would have a couple of
good fellows" with him.
O'Hara, who had become friendly
with Vredenburgh after renting a
house in Springfield from him, agreed
to travel with him.
o'Hara did not see the two good

People of Kansas.

| George H. Hodges:
In returning to private life after six
years in the legislature and four years
frain at this hour from conveying to
the people of Kansas the profound
gratitude of my heart for the oppor-
turfity they have given me to do a
citizens part in the service of the COM
monwealth.
No matter what people may say to
the contrary the public is a good and
generous master and 1 cannot fairly
recall an hour during the ten years of
my work that did not bring me some
degree of genuine and wholesome pleas
ure.
1t affords me unusual satisfaction to
acknowledge the honest loyalty of the
good men and women who have in all
the departments of the public service
and in all the major and minor places
in which they have been employed,
helped me to make the government of
Kansas an example not only of busi-
ness efficiency, but of political moral
ity which many of the older states
in the union are more than eager to
follow.
But above and beyond all Others as
prime factors in good government were

it of social upIift has so powerfully
operated in the state.
The priceless associations that have
come into my public life cannot easily

tongue can utter. The friendships that

Powers of the Governor.
Under the constitution of Kansas,
tremendous power is vested in the Of
flee of governor. He holds without re-
straint patronage of the greatest value
to the people of the state if used for
their benefit. Any officer who uses
patronage for his own interest to the
detriment of the people, commits a
greater crime against society than the
ordinary criminal. No greater curse
can befall state institution than to
have the employees and heads of the

New Governor Delivered In
augural Address Today.
Brief, Concise, Frank Discus
sion of State Issues.
Governor Hodges said:

Governor Hodges said:- -s
Agreeable to custom the elective Of
ficers of the state appear before you
today, and take the oath of office
prescribed by the Constitution. I shall
not discuss matters that we, as mem
bers of different political parties are
committed to. but rather congratulate
the people of our great state upon re-
ceiving more than our share of the
general prosperity and blessings that
an aIl-wise Father has bestowed upon
the middle west during the past two
years.
l would be unmindful of a pleasant
duty if I did not publicly acknowledge
the debt of gratitude my party owes
to that great body of voters who allied
themselves with us and made it pos
sible, for the first time in the history
of the state, for = ansas to have
Democratic United State senator, five
Democratic members of the lower
branch of congress, a majority in both
branches of the state legislature and
Democratic governor.
I commend the good people of Kan
sas who made this possible, and who
by their suffrage have maintained the
high standard of progressiveness that
Kansas has always enjoyed both in
commercial and agricultural affairs.
This year, at a single stride, she
leads that great progressive political
revolution, tn t swept this nation over
and made that splendid statesman,
Woodrow Wilson, president-elect of
these United States. Our common
wealth maintained in this as in all
things the unquestioned leadership we
have hitherto enjoyed.
A complete change has been made In
the control of the legislative and ex-
ecutive departments of state. Unques-
tionably the people will expect and de-
mand more of a new. administration
than from the administration of men
whose party is continued in power.
Those Platform Pledges.
The Democrats of Kansas are keenly
sensible of this responsibility. Our rep
resentatives are a majority both in the
senate and in the house. A failure
upon our part to carry out the express

committee, is not only the oldest law
yer in the legislature and a most wide
1y known rough and tumble legislative
fighter but he is recognized as a man
with very sym pathetic heart. Even
in the 1903 session, WaggenerS talent
and ability were recognized when he
was made chairman of the judiciary
committee in a Republican senate.
For his fair and impartial service,
mem bers of both parties showed their
recognition. At the close of the ses-
sion, the Democrats placed a silk flag
over the Atchison mans desk and the
Republican members presented Wag-
gener with a gold headed cane.
But speaking of Waggener's sympa-
thetic nature, this characteristic little
story is being told in the hotel lobbies
concerning the Atchison lawyer:
Last week rather thinly clad, mid
die aged woman walked tiinidly down
the lobby of the National hotel until
she came to the chair in which the
well known Democratic leader sat
smoking cigar.

r?' asked the woman.

he arose from his chair and tipped his
hat; sit down. What can 1 do for
you?''
Then the woman related a story of
hardship and privation. She came of
a family once well known in Atchison
county. Last fall her husband died.
She was left with an eight months
old baby and no money. Since the loss
of her husband, she has earned her
living by washing.
Waggener looked at the woman. Her
hands were ca1oused. Her clothes
were worn and clearly had seen better
days. But the Atchison senator look
ed into a pair of honest. bright eyes
and motherly face and the old vet
eran's heart was touched.

What can you do?" asked Wag-
gener as he studied the face before
him.
.T can scrub or wash, but do not
write very we'll you know, and I fear
I couldn't hold a clerical position"
Something in the woman's tone or
manner appealed to Waggener and he
was deeply touched.
ST don't know what can be DONE"
said Waggener, "but if I have enough
power with this legislature to control
one place, you will get it.
Then as the woman thanked him,
slipped SIS bill into her
hand.

time for a brief conference.
