COMMENTS on ELECTION

Emporia. Kas.. Nov. ii.--William
Allen White. former progressive and
editor OF the Emporia Gazette. says
in an editorial. The west does not
forget"
"The progressiyes would not vote
with those who distrusted the aspira-
tons OF the people. Not even the
issue OF national honor swayed those
political crusaders. DishearteDed
and ashamed. but with unbroken
spirits and mistaken convictions.
these people voted for Wilson. Their
leaders went to Hughes. But the
folks In the west refused to follow.
They would vote for a man and a
party that they desplsed before vpt-
ing for a party that they distrusted.
even though they respected It's can
dldate."
White and his paper supported
Hughes strongly.

scattering the grown pheasants to the
four points Of the compass. Mr.. James
was able to recover al but two of the

The list of pictures on todays pro-

it. is with great pride that the manage

GUS productions.
Louise Lovely (and she is all that
the name implies), appears first as an
ex- dancer and wife of an Italian ped
dler and later as the daughter. This
play, The Gilded Spider" is without
exception a fine feature. 1t has a
strong moral theme throughout tho
story and together with its thrilling
scenes it proves a gripping drama.
Stella Razeto appears in a society
drama full Of heart interest entitled
THE Purple Maze" Matt Moore and
Jane Gail in their latest comedy, His
Little Story" is a dandy. Francis Ford
and his entire family are shown in a

near water. and yet you don't insist on
his learning to take care Of himself by

AS was anticipated, Friday brought

The continuous work OF large crew
Of men restored service to a large
number Friday and it is thought that
the work will be practically cleaned
up by tonight, except scattered sta
tons with broken drop wires and
blown fuses which have not been re-
ported and of which there is no way Of
getting information because they do
ont affect the line as a whole.
To give an idea Of the amount Of
work involved in restoring service aft
er a storm Of this kind, practically ev-
cry telephone station on the rural lines
and many stations within the city
limits will have had to have been visit
ed, new fuses placed and the carbons
on tie protection devices cleaned with
emery paper before service is again
