FARRELLY IS Confident
Chanute Candidate for Democratic
Nomination Optimistic.

Hugh p. Farrelly of Chanute, who
is in Topeka today, is confident that
he will win the Democratic United
States senatorial nomination in the
August primaries. Farrally has been
making an active campaign since he
announced his candidacy in February.
He has made many speeches and de-
clares that he will continue his fight
until the pre-primary campaign
closes.

failed to carry a majority of the leg

against Senator William H. Thomp-
son in 1912. Il am getting into every
county that is possible for me to
reach and feel that have a positive
strength in every locality in the state.
There will be no uncertainty about
the winner this year and 1 expect to

course OF the administration is abso-

example for the coming generation.
for by his policy of inaction in the
face of vital matters affecting the
whole industry of the United States
the values of railway securities are
steadily declining. To continue this
policy until these great properties
have shrunk to a half or a third OF
their real value and then step in and
buy them is no less dastardly than the
methods of frenzied financiers in their
palmiest days.
None Would Hesitate.
MY knowledge of the feeling ic-

country today enables me to say that
not one would hesitate for an instant
to turn over their Properties to the
government at the present market

WEEKLY CROP REPORT
Weather I'm Kansas for
Growing Grain.

The week ending June 8 was an-
other favorable one for growing crops.
especially wheat. In All parts Of KAN
sas, with the exception Of the north
central counties where rain is needed
according to the weekly crop bulletin
issued from the local weather Office.
The report reads:
In the central and western parts Of
the state there was from 1 to inches
of rainfall in almost all counties. with
nearly inches in the extreme SOUTH
west portion, but the three eastern
tiers of counties and some in the north
central portion received less than an
inch of rain during the week.
Midsummer temperatures prevailed
nearly all week, with high winds on
several days. The warm weather was
beneficial in ripening wheat and ac-
celebrating the growth Of crops where
there was plenty Of rain. but the winds
dried the soil rapidly elsewhere.
Wheat Condition Improved.
The prospect for large wheat yield
is even better than last week. 1t is
headed and the berry is well formed
even in the northwestern counties.
Harvest will begin within a few days in
the southern counties and within an-
other week over nearly all the rest OF
the state.
Corn has made satisfa actory prog
ress this week. but a good rain is
needed for it in the northeastern part
Of the state and army worms have
done some damage to 1t in the east
ern counties generally. However. It
still has a good color even where the
moisture is deficient and there has
been ample opportunity for culfiva-
ton, except in the extreme southwest
ern counties. where 1t was too wet.
Army Worms DO Damage.
The first cutting Of alfalfa is Just
about completed. The second crop IL
starting in good shape in the southern
and western counties, but 1t is making
slow growth in the northeastern.
Army worms have done considerable
damage to It in the three eastern tiers
of counties.
Oats are reported to be heading how
in the northeastern part of the state,
but seem to be well filled none the
less. Barley is very promising in the
northwest portion. Cherries are ripe
and the crop is large.

Introduces Bill to Make 1t q
Penal Offense.

Washington, June 9.-Secretary

the house again when representative

duced a bill to make it a penal offense
for any cabinet officer, head or clerk
Of government department to lecture
for pay, other than actual hotel and
travelling expenses and to prohibit
senators or representatives from lee
turing for pay while congress is in
session. Offenders would be fined
$4,000 or imprisoned for two years
or suffer both penalties.
Mr.. Britton launched a broadside in
a statement accompanying his bill, in
which he spared no political party,
and included Senator La Toilette and
Representative Murdock. He said:
This bill was prepared last Sep
tember, but was not introduced when
Secretary Bryan formally declared
that he would lecture no more during
the period. The recent announcement
from Philadelphia that several mem
bers Of congress and the distinguished
secretary of state had signed contracts
for period of lectures beginning July

ONO Il. WOOD OF ldDcral, Who Has
Been Nominated United States Mar
shal for Kansas, to Succeed j. II.
Harrison.
Strong efforts are being made by
friends Of the Democratic appointee
to the marshalship, Otho T. Wood OF
Liberal, to induce Judge Pollock to
Immediately name him to fill the va
cancy pending his confirmation by the
United States senate. Up to a late
hour this afternoon no move had been
made in the matter by Judge Pollock.
Some friends of B. F. Flenniken. for
many years the chief deputy in the
marshals office, believe that he may
be made marshal pro tenn. Much in
terest centers on the action Of Sena-
tor J. L. Bristow when the name OF
the Thompson man is brought up in
the senate for confirmation.
The newly nominated marshal has
been busy today waiting for news. He
said he had no statement to make
about probable appointments to depu-
tyships, but it, is believed that he win
retain at least two of the present depu-
Hesser Of Fort Scott. If that is the
case they win have to be newly ap-
pointed, for they cease to hold office
wit htheir chief. 1t Is believed that
c. c. Jackson, Wells Fargo express
agent at Great Bend, will be offered
the chief deputyship. Jackson was an
active supporter Of Senator w. H.
Thompson.
Notice Of Removal.
Late Monday afternoon United
States Marshal Harrison received q
Telegram from Attorney General Nc
Reynolds advising him of his removal
Such a message had been expected
from the report Of the nomination of
o. T. Wood. Marshal Harrison's resig-
nation had been asked for by the de-
partment last December but he deter
mined to force his removal and held
on for another six months. In the
meantime the appointment of his sue
cessor was tied up in Washington so
that the actual removal was withheld
until Wood supporters could iron out
their differences.
The retiring United States marshal.
John r. Harrison, has been in the fed
eral service since 1888. He was val
liable man in the postal service. An
interesting part of his career was that
passed in Havana, where he was post
master during the reconstruction per-
iod following the Spanish American
war. He has held several Inspector
ships in the postal service, being To-
Gated in Kansas, Washington, D. c.,
and Denver in this capacity. His ap-
pOintment to the marshalship in July,
1911, came as a promotion after long
service for the government. He start
ed as a railway mail clerk, being aD-
pointed from Kansas. and he has al
ways called Kansas his home.
