pers On the Pacific Coast are printed in Nevada" says Wells Drury
of the Sacramento News. while most of them III classed as 'coun-
try journals and hayseed organs, there is a crisp originality and
individuality about them that is refreshing. They have a way of
speaking out in meeting that Is sometimes startling, but when they
get through, Que feels compensated for having given them his at

An exchange says that a solemn old scientist printed the state

double his circulation, and now all the editors are having tanks at

CHARGES BRIBERY
I'll. C.. Sluss Files Mandamus
Suit in Supreme Court.
Alleges He Was Illegally De-
prived of Nomination.

Mandamus suit. charging his oppo-
rent in the last primary election,
Richard e. Bird. with bribery in OBJ
taining votes, was filed today in the
kansas supreme court by Henry C..
Siuss, prominent Sedgwick county
lawyer. against H. M. Barrett. clerk
of Sedgwick county. to compel Barrett
to place the plaintiffs name on the
ballot at the next election as the legal
Republican nominee for judge of the
district court. AS a technical point.
Bird is also made a defendant in the
action.
Sluss and Bird were candidates for
the judgeship in the last primary.
Bird won, according to the official
count. Sluss today. in taking his trou-
blues into court. makes several
charges and cites the Kansas bribery
statutes under which he claims Bird s
votes are not legal and he says there
fore. he is entitled to the domination.
SluSS alleges that BIRD. in company
with his campaign manager and agent.
Y. J. Crook called in three negro
churches in Sedgwick county prior to
the primary and during religious SER
vices on Sundays, the date of which
he. Sluss names, and proffered gifts
TO the churches which. it is alleged,
were accepted. Sluss claims that was
done before the conelegati lions to irflu-
ence them in the voting at the pri-
mary.
Names the Churches.
Sluss names the African Methodist
Episcopal church. the st. Marys Mis-
sionary church and the Calvary Bap-
fist church as those wherein Bird and
Crook called. Sluss also alleges that
Fred c. Helm was given a sum in
excess of 500 to arrange ii so the
appearance in the churches, before
the congregations. could be made and
the gifts offered. In the allegations
Sluss names the gifts made to a part
, Of the churches at S25. The congre-
cations of all the churches. Sluss says,
are negroes.
In the petition three individual
bribes are also alleged and the
amount is set at $3.50 each.
Those alleged brides. Sluss contends,
were made by Crook, acting as Bird S
agent, to H Gilbert, Abe Poteet and
J. Walker. Sluss cites the Kansas
bribery statute No 26SS in his Detition
and alleges Bird is guilty under it.
The application for peremptory writ
of mandamus has been set for hearing
Wednesday. September 6, at 10 O'Clock
in the morning.

new trial on file and Judge Whitcomb
stated he was just looking over the
papers and was inclined to grant it.
Then he proceeded to grant Woodall
a new trial.
