PARKER SPOILS 1T
Rally Cry to PrOgressives Blow
to "Drys."
Expected Bill White and Vic
MurdOck There.

ST. Paul, July 1S.-John M. Parker's
rallying cry to the surviving Progress
sives, issued last Saturday for a new
national convention of the party in
Chicago, August 5, was blamed by
leaders here today for the collapse of
their plans for a monster Get To-
gether" conference, at which they had
hoped to enroll as members of their
organization scores of men who have
been prominent in the Progressive.
Republican and Democratic parties.
The leaders had pinned their princi-
pal hopes to those Progressives who
had refused to admit their party was
dead when Theodore Roosevelt de-
clined to lead it in the coming cam
paign. They had expected such men
as William Allen White and Victor
Murdock of Kansas, Judge Albert D.
Nortoni of St. Louis and perhaps
Colonel Parker himself to meet with
them and pledge their affiliation with
the Prohibition party.
But none of these appeared today.
Instead Colonel Parker issued his con-
vention call, Mr.. Murdock started for
China. Mr.. White is silent and Judge
Nortoni's contribution to the get
together" conference was a telegram
to Virgil G. IIinshaw, national chair
man of the Prohibition party, in
which he expressed regret at his in
ability to attend the meeting but as
sured Mr.. Hinshaw he was with him
in spirit"
Eugene F'OsS ReconSidcrS.
After sending a private telegram to
St. Paul last night, in which he de-
clared he was not a prohibitio mist. po-
litically and would not accept the
nomination for president, Eugene
Foss returned to the list of nomination
possibilities today with a telegram to
Mr.. Hinshaw in which he said:
II have thought some one else
might better make the fight, but if
in the judgment of the convention l
seem to be the only one to lead. /
would give the nomination every con-
sideration.''
Having received no reply to the
telegram he and National Committee
man Patton sent last night to John NJ
Parker, asking whether he would ac-
cept the e-presidential nomination.

TOTS FIGHT FEVER
ElmOnt YOungsters-FOur of
'Em-DOwn With Typhoid.
After Father Exhausts Means.
Fred Nipps to Aid.
TEN MILES IN AN AMBULANCE
Early Morning Rescue Conduct
ed by County Official.
Hood Children Are Now Rest
ing in Christ's Hospital.

With their means exhausted; their
crops neglected to the point of ruin.
following a three-weeks' fight to save
their four little children. sick of
typhoid fever, Mr.. and Mrs. c. T.
Hood, farmers near Elmont. gave up
the fight last night and today the
children are in Christ's hospital, coun-
ty charges.
Early this morning. Fred Nipps,
county commissioner, who has been
watching the fight, sent the Bonn
gardner auto ambulance to the Hood
farm and brought the stricken chill
dren to Topeka. Their worn-out
mother came with them and will
watch the course of the fever at the
hospital.
All four children in the family
have typhoid fever. Cecil, a 9-year-
OLD girl, is in a serious condition. Clar-
ence is 10 years old, Francis is and
Glenn is 8.
The parents do not know where the
children contracted the disease 1t
developed in all four children about
three weeks ago. The parents dropped
everything and devoted their time to
the sick The mother attempted to
do no other houscwork. The father
forgot he had farm work to do and
helped the mother administer to the
children's needs. Doctor bills and
medicine bills have been piling up for
nearly a month. Corn and other crops
have been allowed to grow up to
weeds.
The county commissioners have
been in touch with the case for some
time. They have watched the eff
forts of the father and mother. The
county physician has given some at
tention to the case. 1t was physically
and financially impossible for Mr.. and
Mrs. Hood to go farther than they
had gone last night and the county,
represented by Commissioner Nipps,
stopped in and took charge.
The Topeka state journal., 1916-07-18

Mr.. Nipps is a cool, leveI-headed
business man, who has taken great
pride in his work as county commits
sioner for economy and efficiency.
His practical experience on the board
for the past three years will be in
valuable to the county during a second
term. Mr.. Nipps says:
"A great many people do not appre-
ciate the Importance of the office of
county commissioner, while in fact it
is the most important office of the
county. The board of commissioners
is the governing body and administra-
tive officers of the entire public busi-
ness.
TT is not generally known that tho
commissioners constitute a drama Se
board, road viewers, a board of equal
iZation and a tax reviewing body and
that these duties with many others
make it necessary that some member
become familiar with the statutes gov
erning all these matters and the meth
DDS of procedure in transacting the
business.
Something over s25O,o0o raised by
taxation is disbursed annually on com
missioners' vouchers and these ex-
penditures necessarily require careful
investigation and positive knowledge
of each item of disbursement.
THE term Of office Of county conf
missioner is fixed by law for biennial
elections, so that at all times the
county's interest may be protected by
having at least one member who has
gained the knowledge of the pubIic's
affairs by his service and experience
of at least one full term.
This year in Shawnee county a new
member will be elected from the south
district who will succeed the oldest
member of the present board; the
present commissioner from the north
district is serving the first half of his
first term
Il feel that my experience on the
board, my knowledge of, and familiar
ity with, the business affairs of the
county is a positive asset to the tax
payers and justifies me in seeking a
second term"
