But He Got the Word Printed.


Young Rolla Clymer, formerly re-
porter on the Gazette. but now the
purse-proud editor of the Olathe Reg
lister, returned to Emporia last week
with his de luxe regalia TO make a lot
of girls regret the fact that they didn't
appreciate him when they had a
chance. He went to a dance at the
Wigwam, and in writing up the dance
for his own paper. used the word
"denouement" For six long years
that boy has been trying to get that
word in the Gazette without success.
It's no kind of a word for polite soci-
ETY. and a mixed company, and the
boy has been told this time and again.
But the first chance he gets, out pops
the impossible word. Moreover, he
had to fake up story to lug the word
in. Isn't it curious how some young
sters get a fixed idea? Now that he
has used "denouement" and got it out
OF his system we trust he is happy and
viii forget it.-Emporia. Kan, Gazette.

Both were defeated. Now all but one
of the papers are against Thompson.
His opponents started out to make
Lorimer the big issue and they played
that record until it cracked. What
was Thompson's' reply? He fear
lessly stated from the public platform
and through the press that he had
never received one favor either polit-
ical or financial from Lorimer in his
life, had never had any interest in
any business deals or banks with Lor-
inner, and was under no obligation to.

produced no evidence in any form to |
show Thompson lied.
Thompson next stated publicly he !
had no interest in any candidate for |
governor or any other Office, would |
not allow any money to be used to |
build political machine, had not and
would not make any deals with any
faction or boss, and that if elected |
he would be the mayor. Another is |
