England, philanthropist and reformer.
announces that he proposes to go be-
fore the next legislature and demand that
two things be done for the betterment
of msnkind.
One OF these is the adjustment OF the
State Board of Secretaries, connected
with the Board of Health. and the other
is the throwing out Of office Of the men,
bers of the State Board of Pardons.
Judge England does not believe that
any board has any right to deny any
physician, who desires to come into Ne
braska and practice, the right to do SO.
He believes that 1t is all in the interest
OF medical trust and the Judge be-
lieves that trusts are "agin the govern
ment" AS far as the pardon board is
concerned. the judge is opposed to the
principle OF bringing matters Of pardon
and parole before a board for a hear

players and others. IN a friendly contest
for the benefit of the Belgian relief fund,
pulled off between two teams composed
of prominent citizens and business men,
John Turner OF the Turner Lumber com
pany sustained a severe double fracture
to the right leg that will lay him up for
some time. while AL Martin of the electric

Another man dropped insensible while

that Stuart Randall and Harry Nc

severely handled and put out OF COM

At meeting Of the Belgian relief com
mittee the matter of reports from those
who held meetings throughout the county
was taken up and canvassed. Something
like 1000 bushels of wheat has already
ben subscribed out in the county, while
about the same amount has been sub
scribed in the city A committee was APP
pointed I'm each community to canvass
and receive contributions and in this
manner the fund will be greatly increased.
Conferences have been held with the To-

The local banks have all agreed to re-
ceive cash contributions and hold same

ceipts in return. Many women Of the city
assembled at the Public Service rooms
Friday and spent the day in sewing for

HELD BIG MEETING
Largest Gathering in 1914 Cam
paign in Topeka.
Republicans Talk to Record
Crowd at Auditorium.

Before q crowd that filled every
seat and packed the aisles and halls
Of the Auditorium. Charles Curtis and
Arthur Capper closed their campaign
IN Topeka Monday night. With the
speeches Of the two Topeka Republic
can candidates were added talks by
Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter and
Congressman D. r. Anthony, Jr., OF
the First district. It was 1.-The dnal
chapter OF the 1914 statewide cam
paign.
The crowd OF nearly 1000 people
who attended the meeting listened to
two and half hours Of solid oratory.
Arthur Capper, Republican guberna-
torial nominee. arrived in the hall at
1915, being delayed In q trip from
Lawrence to his homo town. James
1fullin presided at the meeting. A
concert by Narshall's band and mo-
ton pictures preceded the meeting.
Mrs, McCarter, who has spent two
weeks on the stump for the Republi-
can state committee. urged Kansas
women to line up for the Republican
party in today's election. She declared
progressive party in the state and ma
hon and scoffed at the theory that a
new third party was needed to work
out reforms. Need Of party organiza-
ton and q drifting away from inde-
pendence by the voter was also urged
by the Topeka woman.
Charles Curtis, who spoke for thirty
minutes on national issues, pointed to
the progressive ls.ws enacted by the
national congress and insisted that the
effort Of opposition candidates to at
tack his record in the United States
senate was but IN effort to distort the
facts. The election of the entire Re-
publican ticket was urged by Curtis
who declared that both himself and
Arthur Capper were working hand in
hand In thA nYQQAnf nQiOn
Congressman Anthony's twenty min
ute talk was q discussion Of the fail
ures Of the Democratic national adj
ministration from a Republican view
point. After f1aying the Democrats
for their misrule Anthony came to the
defense OF his own record and declared
that the statements by political op-
ponents concerning his official conduct.
were a Misrepresentation of facts.
Arthur Capper closed the meeting
with q twenty minute speech He de-
clared that today's election would re-
in power in the state-from Curtis
down to irrigation commissioners
Capper urged efficiency in office. He
denounced the "spoils system and de-
clared that IL elected to the governor
ship. there would be no jobs for politi-
cal favors.
There is no more difference in CIV
ing jobs in state institutions and de-
partments for political service than in
giving a politician cash for his support
and effort in behalf of a candidate.
Such systems have resulted in extrava-
gance, not alone through sheer graft,
but because of the inefficiency Of the
system of selecting a states en-
ployees."
The Republican meeting was the
largest political gathering held in To-
pexa during the 1914 campaign.
