Although there may be a footpath
across railroad switch yards and peo-
pie may use the path constantly for
many years it does not make the path
a public highway, and anyone using
it is a trespasser. This was the de-
cision of the Kansas Supreme Court
in refusing to allow damages to A. L.
Malott against the Union Pacific Rail
road. People of Armstrong, Kas,
had been walking along a path across
the Union Pacific yards for years.
When Malott used it he was injured

Unable to Get Out a Strong
Ticket, They Call a
Mass Meeting.
G.. O. p. TALK HEARD
Republican Party Has In
terest of Voters; Other
Side Is Dead.

After three weeks OF strenuous ef-
in Tulsa have been unable to secure
the consent Of single strong man to
run FOR office. and, while they have
refused to permit .. II. Hunt to an
nounce for mayor, they have reached
point whore it looks like they will
have to take 4Iunt even though it is
much against their desire.
Scores Of prominent Democrats
have been urged. yea even begged. to
get in the race, but so far as can he
learned all of them have been de-
Clned. As a result there have been
no Democratic mass meetings and
voters all over the city have almost
forgotten there Is such a party in city
politics.
The Last Cnancc.
However. the final effort to arouse
enough enthusiasm to get out
ticket will be made tonight when they
will hold a meeting at the district
courtroom, "for the purpose of or
ganzing" The Republicans have been
organized several weeks, many can
didates have announced to run in the
primary election and every precincN
in the city is being gone over with a
fine-toOth comb.
Since the Republicans named
remarkably strong list of candidates
at their meeting Monday night there
has been less of n desire than ever on
the part of influential Democrats to
sc: out ticket Prominent men in
the party do not care to enter n cam
paign that seems to be already won
10y the Republicans
Spirited Contest.
Republicans have aroused more in
tcrest in their own ranks than ever
before in the history of Tulsa, and
spirited though clean campaign is as
sured between now and the primary.
Dr. 5. De Zell Ilawley and T.. Roger
Kemp are the candidates for the
mayoraltv nomination and each man
will wage an aggressive campaign.
Eleven candidates for commissioner
and three for auditor have already
announced, and others are expected
To come out before the week Is over.
The Republican voters will go into
the primary determined to select the
strongest possible ticket out this un-
usual array of talent and then con-
duct spirited campaign up until the
night of election day. There are ac-
tive workers in every precinct in the
city, and all of them are going at the
task before them with the smile of
victory on their countenances. Per-
Sonal differences and ambitions have
been thrown aside and the party Is
united as never before.
Little Is known, even by the Demo-
Gratis themselves. of what will he done
tonight. but efforts are being made
to prevent repetition of tie one dis

held this spring.
