CLEAN UP MExICANS
City Successful in Pointing Out Santa
Fee Condition.

The city government today went
after the man higher up" in the
Santa Fe system and as a result OBJ
tanned prompt action in remedying al
legged unsanitary conditions existing in
the Mexican camp in the city limits.
For several days officials in the health
department under Commissioner w. L.
Porter had tried in vain to obtain
some relief in the Mexic-.n camp.
Finally they returned discouraged say
ing they haG been 'bawled out" in the
presence of a bunch of Santa Fe clerks
grabbed the telephone.
Hello said Porter. who is re-
sponsible for the conditions existing
IN the Santa Fe campo
The Santa Fe official is quoted as
endeavoring to pass the buck
'Well, you had better find out pref
ty quick" said Porter. ''If you aren't
responsible some man still higher than
you is and I'm going to swear out a
against a single man, who must be
responsible for not enforcing sanitary
rules in his departme emit"
1t Was Effective.
That was enough. Sub-officials in
Porter'S department have reported to
him that the Mexicans never knew
what soap and water, sanitary toilets
and garbage cans really meant until
the Santa Fe men appeared and began
outlining and enforcing the same sani-
tary rules that they insist upon in the
neighborhood their own homes.
An epidemic of disease resembling
smallpox has been discovered in the
camp and constant complaint against
terrible unsanitary conditions has been
received by the city in the last few
days

favor or oppose an embargo against
the shipments of munitions from this
country to Europe or the passage of
war resolution warning Americans
not to travel on ships owned by ma
lions at war? %
81, sir the nominee replied, Jam
in favor of the maintenance of every
right, including the right of travel and
the right OF shipments. 1t is a very
important right that we have as a neu-
trail nation and it is very important
that it this time when the great war is
raging we should vindicate neutral
rights and maintain the integrity of
international law. TO my mind it is
very thoughtless policy that would
surrender any of these important
rights because of any sentimental con-
sideration when we have the vast ne
ccssities of neutral commerce and the
importance of the rights of neutrals
to consider with respect to the future
of the United States"
The crowd c1eered Mr.. Hughes and
the heckler shouted d, Thank you"

CAMPAIGN ALONE
County ssInsurgents. Pool Fund
for Their Election.
Lee, Graham and Two Camp
bells Launch Together.

The s'insurgents'' amcng the Repub-
lican county candidates-thef four can
didates who have taken their cam
paigns out of the hands of the county
central committee and have Joined to-
gether to conduct their own campaign
opened up today. They issued a
statement of their position throwing
some light upon the interior workings
of the county committee. They also
started their advertising campaign.
The four insurgents" are Rad M.
Lee, candidate for judge of the court
of Topeka; E. A. Campbell, candidate
for county treasurer; Jack Campbell.
candidate for county surveyor, and
Douglas Graham, candidate for clerk
of the court of Topeka. All four men
signed the statement.
They will spend practically all of
their campaign contributions, which
have been pooled. for newspaper adj
vertising. Anc their advertising will
be for the whole county ticket, the
state ticket and the national ticket.
The whole row was over the question
as to whether county candidates
should pay an assessment of per
cent or the q per cent as demanded by
the county committee.
ION August 26,'' said the four men
today, "a majority of the Republican
county nominees met and unanimous
ly decided that per cent of their
first years salary, or $3.50, would be
sufficient to donate to the county CEN
trail committee. Mr.. CLANCY objected
to this amount and on September 6,
1.-THE candidates met with the COM
mittee and raised the amount to ST.
200, or per cent.
1.-THE candidates wanted a thirty
day campaign and $1,000 would allow
$40 a day for thirty days.
Ante Again Raised.
This did not satisfy Mr.. CLANCY
and on September 6 the candidates
were notified that the amount had
been raised to $1,000. The candidates
were also notified that they would
have to pay 4 per cent. Some of the
candidates had not paid on October G
and thru AL Bauer an effort was made
to get the Republican league to con-
denim the candidates. The league re-
fused to take action. October IA, ".
| c. Ralston had passed a motion to
print folders and on inside front page
condemn the candidates who were
willing to pay per cent but not i
stated that he would resign before he
would accept 8 per cent from any
candidate. These pamphlets Were
printed by Al Bauer.
The candidates whom these men
seek to condemn were willing and did
orfer prior to the printing of the pam
phlet, to pay per cent of their salary
and that as per cent of this amour!
should be used for the state and ma
tional ticket One other candidate re-
fused to pay but per cent Mr.
CLANCY had the per cent check re-
turned The candidates father then
paid another 1 per cent himself
Since Mr.. CLANCY refuses to accep:
cur 3 per cent we will spend thai
amount with the newspapers adver-
Using the Republican national, state
end county tickets"

Coyotes AIona Wolf River.

Memphis, Tenn.-That coyotes or
prairie wolves are infesting Wolf river
bottoms in the neighborhood of Wells
Station and in the bottoms west of
and toward Raleigh Springs, was made
sure when a coon hunter told citizens
Of the National Cemetery neighbor-
hood that he saw mother coyote and
three whelps in hollow log. He was
hunting without gun, and the moth
er coyote, when attacked, whipped his
dogs and later escaped, he said
E. NJ. Rogers. whose wife was bitten
by a rabid coyote near the National
Cemetery, said he heard bowling in
the bottoms that sounded like the
barking of coyotes, but did not men
ton the fact for fear neighbors would
give him the laugh.
1t is reported that coyotes have
been killing pigs near the river.
