CROWDS FROM OUT OF TOWN

Henry D. Estabrook of New York.
one of the most able men on the
stump for the Republican national
committee will tell Topeka and Shaw
nee county voters of the issues in the
presidential campaign when he speaks
tonight in the auditorium Esta-
brooks speech will be one of the fea-
lures of the Republican campaign in
the state and a big crowd is expected
to hear the New York lawyer
Kansans who know Estabrook ex-
pect him to administer public spank
ing to the Wilson administration. He
is known as sharp tongued, sarcastic
and able orator and TopekanS who are
waiting for a real indictment of the
Wilson administration do not expect
to be disappointed. Because of the
large organized labor vote in Topeka,
it is probable Estabrook will discuss
the AdamSon eight-hour bill and other
labor measures. He will also discuss
the tariff and foreign policies of the
Wilson administration.
EStabrook is in reality a western
man and knows the Kansas language.
For a number of years he was a law
yer in Omaha. From Nebraska, he
went to Chica.s. Later he was sent
to New York. where he is now chief
counsel for the Western Union Tele-
graph company. Last spring Esta-
brook was a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for president. He
maintained headquarters in Chicago
for several weeks and made an active
campaign. Before the opening of the
campaign. however, he withdrew from
the contest.
On Tour of the West.
In the Hughes campaign EStabrook
is making an active fight. He is tour
ing a number of western states and is
probably one of the most able orators
to be sent to Kansas during the pres
ent campaign.
