GOOD CROWD AT
SOCIALIST MEETING

Over two hundred people were
at the High School auditorium
Friday evening to hear w. R.
Snow, the Socialist speaker, dis
cuss THE High Cost of Living"
Mr.. Snow is a good speaker and
has the faculty of keeping his
audience interested. He illus
trated the principal points in his
remarks by apt stories which ap-
peal to his audience.
Although his theories might be
considered somewhat too radical
by many Mr.. Snow is by no means
one Of that class of speakers one
hears at the street corner meet
ings. His sincerity is appar-
ent and he offered to meet any of
the representatives of either of
the other parties in support of
the principles he advocates.
His remedy for the high cost
of living is public ownership, not
only of the public utilities, but
of the coal mines, the lumber
business, the textile industries
md all other producers of ar
ticles in common use by the peo-
pie. His theories and argument
if carried to the logical sequence
indicated by his talk would mean
that the government should take
over all industries and be re-
sponsible for the support of all
the people.
lie gave President Wilson and
the Democratic party credit for
the large amount of legislation
passed by the present admins
tration for the benefit of the
working classes and said that the
Democratic party had carried out
the pledges of its platform as
no party had since the time OF
Lincoln, but said that it did moi
strike at the root of the evil. anC
nothing but public ownership
would give the working classes
what they were entitled to. His
remarks were we'll received b.
those present and the audience
also responded literally when
collection was taken up.
Two of the republican candi
dates, C. G. Cromwell, candidat
for probate judge, and J. d
Neaville, candidate for superin
tendent of schools, were presen
and their activity at the close o
the speaking in meeting the vot
ers was very noticeable.

NEEDS NO ANSWER
Shipping Negroes Charge Pre-
postrous, Say Republicans.
Department of Justice Used Tor
Political Purpose.

Washington Oct 23--*Too prepos-
posterouss to warrant an answer was
the Characterization by the natonal
Republican congressional comH1lttee
of a charge emanating from the de-
partment of justice that the Repuoh-
cans are coIonizing negroes to Influ-
ence the election Announcement was
made at the department of justice sew
eraI days ago from the requests OF m
vestigation of alleged election FRAUDS,
past and suspected and it was stated
that there would be a nationwide
investigation
The department of justice is said to
have instructed federal agents in
North Carolina and Alabama to in
vestigate and to be prepared to take
drastic action" 1t is alleged the me-
groes were shipped last summer
Representative Miller of Delaware,
secretary of the executive committee
of the national Republican congress
sional committee, gave the following
reply:
THE assertion that Republican
leaders have been engaged in a
scheme having to do with the move
ment of some $4,000 negroes from
southern states into northern states,
where senators are to be elected, Is
too preposterous even to warrant an
answer
1T looks like another effort to use
an executive department for partisan
purposes, for if the department of
justice had such information as they
claim to have about this matter, why
did they wait until the closing hours
of the campaign to spring something
which can not be proven. but which
they know can probably be used to the
detriment of the Republican party, I'M
true as it may be. Does it occur to
anyone that it is more or less of a
herculean task in itself to obtain EN-
ployment for such a mass of men, to
say nothing of the cost of transporta-
ton, housing and feeding such an
aruy?''

FOR SOLDIER VOTE
Judges and Clerks VIII Have Hands
Full at Fort Riley.

Judges and clerks in the vicinity of
Fort Riley, will have their hands full
at this election, if the Kansas Guards
men take advantage of the absent
voter clause of the Kansas election
statutes. Officials in the office Of the
secretary of state can see no reason
why this provision cannot be taken
advantage of, in providing a method
for the voting of guardsnen, within
the borders of Kansas
Yet, emergencies that might arise
over the uncertainty Of judicial deci-
sions, have been prepared for and
sufficient ballots are printed in the
regular soldier ballot form, to take
care of the votes at Fort Riley as we'll
as the Kansas votes on the border
The ballots prepared for the men on
the border. differ from the regular bal
lots in one detail. Blank space is FRO
vfded DIT the top of the ballots for the
voter to write his name, his county,
voting precinct and ward, if he lives
in city. Also the number of the rep
resentative district in which he lives
as well as the company and regime Mt
to which he belongs
The most important item is nam
ing the precinct in which ne lives and
this is one of the most difficult things
for the average citizen to remember
To facilitate the accuracy of this par
ttcular phase of voting, the secretary
of state has printed a pamphlet giving
the number of every voting precinct

FEEL MAILED FIST
Greek Power May Be Destroyed
by Allies Action.
Demand Internment of Army
and Surrender of Supplies.

Paris, Oct. 23.-The French mill
tary attache carrying out the program
OF Premier BRAND with the approval
of the other entente nations, has pre-
sented further far-reaching demands
upon Greece, according to advices
reaching here.
These demands, of which two are
made public in dispatches, are design
ed to remove the last menace to the
Entente armies of a possible stab in
the back of the Greek loyal troops
The principal demands are:
That the entire Greek army in Thes-
sally and other sections of northern
Greece shall be removed to Morea. the
southernmost tip of Greek territory.
That Greece shall hand over to the
allies all her war stores.
The Greek army in Thessaly is in
the rear of General SarraiIs allied
army in Macedonia, and. according to
the view of military men and states
men. offers a constant menace, hasn-
Germans and Bulgarians.
Practical internment of the Greek
army in Morea and the seizure of all
stores would render them impotent
to withstand any further action the
Entente might contemplate.
The presentation of the new de-
mands, according to dispatches. has
led to renewed outbursts of rioting
in Athens, although no serious Incl
dents are yet reported.
Street demonstrations have been
held at which new resolutions begging
the intercession of the United States
to save" Greece have been adopted.

According to the Census of

Knasas was S70,S19,S36.

With the new Agricultural
Credit system in operation
money can and will be loaned
so that the borrower will be
able to pay off principal and
interest on a long time loan on
a smaller annual payment
than he now m a k on
straight interest payments.
That this is no fancy pic
ture is proven by the fact that
one powerful association is
now in Kansas waiting to
come under the provisions of
the law and that applications
have been made for over ST.
100000 in loans at an annual
interest rate of AZ per cent.
-Four years ago that would
have been an impossibility and
you owe it to the legislation
enacted by a Democratic Con-
