CUT OUT CARDS
County Candidates Who Will No
Poster Voters With Pasteboartls.

Nearly every Republican candidate
for nomination at the coming primary
election has entered the agreement
not to pass cards at the polling places
on election day. With a very few ex-
ceptions every one approached has
signed his name to the proposition
that the card-passing is a nuisance
which will merely serve to keep wom-
en- voters away from the polls. The
success Of the movement has been
such that 1t looks as though the few
who hold out. against the movement
will make themselves conspicuous in
an unfavorable way on election day.
AS the round robin declaring against
the old practice of having worker
at the polls passing cards for every
candidate was started on Friday after
noon only q part OF the total number
Of candidates had had a chance to
sign but it circulated among the Re-
publicans. As other party candidates
have expressed "a willingness to join
the movement it will probably be en-
dorsed as freely by Progressives and
Democrats.
w. n. Nemper, election commission
er. has endorsed the idea for the sake
Of order and comfort at the polling
places. Mr.. Kemper, who has personal
charge of the primary arrangements
in the city, goes on record with a re-
quest that male voters leave their
cigars and profanity outside the cleo
ton places when, they go tosvote, from
courtesy to the women who will serve
on the boards.
To date the following men who are
candidates before the primaries have
card nuisance from the coming pri-
maries: Hugh T. Fisher, Paul H

At the request of many Topeka people
Signor Creatore has consented to include
in his program next Thursday at the
fair grounds Tschaikowskys remarkable
overture '1812." No other band known
has been able to handle this overture
in the way it is presented by Creators

Signor Creatore brings the different Sec
lions of his band into action and as quiet
ly retires them at his command; how
sharp the attack and equally marked the
finish. 1t is always with a feeling OF
regret that the audience hears the last
strains, but each one present carries the
memory Of the music for days and weeks
to come 1t Is well known how THE
symphonic poem-it can scarcely be des-
cribed as an overture-is based on
Napoleon,s retreat from Moscow. A
broad, flowing melody. taken from one
