delegates to the convention of the
League of Kansas Municipalities here
today in discussing Uniform Munich
pal Accounting, Auditing and Re-

fifteen states in the Union there are
bureaus authorized to install uniform
accounts for municipalities and in all
of these the modern movement is
proving a success.

method of accounting along the lines
of efficiency. simplicity and economy"
said Mr.. Hail. =
Through an inquiry sent out by
the Municipal Reference bureau it was
found that out of fifty cities in Kansas
of the first, second ard third class
twenty-five were making annual re-
ports of their financial sactions
and only twelve of these cities pub
lished these reports in pamphlet form
for general distribution. Fourteen of
the cities have their accounts audited
annually by a certified accountant
Twenty-Five of the cities reporting
have made no change in their system
Of accounting in the past ten years
So it can be seen that there is need
for reform in public accounting in

TO MAKE CHICAGO DRY
Federation Advises Saloonkeepers te
Turn Bars Into Lunch Counters.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-'Turn bars into
lunch counters
That is the cry with which the big
campaign to make Chicago dry at the
spring election in 1918 will start off
Monday, it was announced here today.
The local dry federation addressed a
letter to saloonkeepers today which
says in part:
May we advise you to begin at this
time to rearrange your own plans
The more decent among your number
may with profit turn your saloons into
resta and social centers with
popular club features. With such a
change and with a clean, efficient
management, there is no reason why
you should have any loss of revenue.
With the 1awless, indecent saloonkeep-
err we have no interest,"

busy comforting with delegates and
others. He had nothing to say for
publication.
An insistent rumor, however, was
that Mr.. Barnes would carry a persis-
tent fight against Mr.. Parsons. No
objection to Governor Whitman head
ing the delegation has crystallized and
the governor and his friends said they
did not think it would be opposed.
The governor drafted a lengthy state
ment on the national situation and
later redrafted it into one sentence.
Justice Hughes" the statement
read, will have a majority of the
delegates from New York state and
there is no doubt that he will be NOM
inted by the convention"
The governor smiled when the pro-
gressive statement that Justice Hughes
would be acceptable to them only If
he made clear his position on certain
national issues was repeated to him.

New York republicans bitter fac
tional fight over Root and Hughes
delegates to the national convention,
the craftsmanship of the delegation
and the states place on the national
committee began in earnest Sunday
with the arrival of a special train here

Governor Whitman directed the
charge for Hughes delegates and urg-
ed the candidacy of Herbert Parsons
for national committeeman to succeed
William Barnes as well as his own
candidacy for the leadership of the
state delegation. He was thanked by
Frank II. Hitchcock, former post

iowa WOMEN
EXPECT TO
WIN BALLOT

DesMoines, June 5.-Chief interest
in Iowa's election today centered in
the republican primary fight for gov
ernor and the question of adoption of
an equal suffrage amendment to the
state constitution. 1t is generally pre-
dicted that the women would win
their campaign for the ballot.
Democrats and socialists also went
to the polls, but as far as state officers
are concerned, there is no opposition
to the men chosen by the leaders as
the standard bearers in the coming
campaign. AS in former years. the
keenest contest will be expected for
the gubarnatorial nomination. This
year, with no contests on the demo-
cratic side, the republicans have the
field almost to themselves. The cam
paign has been unusually strenuous.
