APPEAL MILLS CASE
c. E Hulett Renews Action Tried by
Shawnee District Court.

An appeal was taken to the supreme
court today in the Mills Dry Goods
company suit, tried several months
ago in the Shawnee county district
court c. E. Hulett, plaintiff in the
action, filed the appeal Stock issues
and the distribution of carvings of the
company are involved in the case
When the case was tried in the
Shawnee county district court, it re-
suited in a complete victory for the
veteran Topeka merchant. All of the
issues involved in the trial in the lower
court, however, are to be presented in
the appeal.
The supreme court will be asked to
pass on the district courts finding to
the-effect that Mills was the owner
of ESQ shares of the dry goods COM
pany stock. Contention is also based
on the decision of the lower cdurt as
affecting a note for $4,000 given by
Mills to the company which the court
refused to cancel and set aside stock
claims The ownership of 80 u shares
of stock voted to Mills in. dividends is
also questioned. Hulett also appeals
from the action of the district court
in refusing to cause a pro rata of the
shares of Mills stock. The district
court refused to grant a new trial and
also denied an application to retax
costs. On each and all of the issues,
the plaintiff appeals and asks for a
reversal of the decision of the trial
court.

Announcement of Candidacy Is
Made Today.

William r. Smith will be candi-
date for reelection as state printer
His announcement was made PUBIC
TODAY, following a conference with a
number of the men in close touch
with the work of the big state depart
ment. Smith will seek a third term
on the record of his work of the last
two terms, when he has reorganized
to a great extent the work of the de-
partment and has saved the state
thousands of dollars in the purchase
of paper and materials.
Thoro organization and strict at
tention to detail has enabled Smith to
make a record equaled by few men
who have held the office. Foresight
in the matter of stock buying on the
unsettled markets Of the last few
years has enabled Smith to save $780,
600 a year This estimate is given on
the basis of the prices secured by
Smith and the prices which would
have prevailed had loose system of
buying as practiced by some former
administrations been followed.
Has Made 1t Big Plant.
Since Smith went into the state
printing plant, the BUSINESS has grown
to record proportions under the system
of publication school text books.

The plant is now one of the largest
in the west. Discounts by Smith on
purchases have amounted to more
than double the printers salary. Last
year. under Smiths direction, the
plant printed and bound 1900. 900
books. an average of 5000 for each
working day of the year.
State officials. members of the
school book com mission, heads of
schools and scores of men in touch
with the affairs of the plant have re-
Gently urged Smith to seek a third
term as a candidate to succeed him
self.
The 1917 legislature passed a reso-
luton endorsing the work of the state
plant under Smith and declared the
legislative printing was handled better
than in any former year. The supreme
court judges, sent Smith a letter COM
mending him on the excellent work
in the publication of the 1915 general
statutes. The late E. P, Harris, the
best known proof reader In the west,
paid high tribute to the work of the
state plant under the Smith admins
tration.
Plant Run Efficiently
During the rush months of the
year, Smiths anticipation of the needs
of the plant enabled the purchase of
stock in advance at a big saving in
money and time that was invaluable
in meeting needs of the Kansas
schools. Altho increases have been
given in the wage scales, the hour cost
is reduced and the efficiency of the
plant greatly improved.
Smith came to the state printing
plant following the election of 1914.

up in the big northern country
there is a growing belief that Repub-
lican and Democrat leaders in the
United States senate counselled with
senator LaFollette before he delivered
his famous anti-war speech before the
Nonpartisan, League in st. Paul. That
the speech was approved and deliver
ed as q link in the program to~dis-
credit the league was asserted in To-
peka today by Julian A. Schmah1, sec
rotary of state of Minnesota.
Since the LaFollette speech the
Nonpartisap League has slipped in the
northern states, Schmahl told state
house officials today. As a result of
the sentiment which has swung
over against the organization be-
they are not in the spirit of the war

branded as I. W. w. auxiliaries-their
vote will no. dominate the election of
constitutional state offices.
Audience Was Enthused.
The LaFollette speech put the
brand of Cain on the Nonpartisan
League in Minnesota" was the view
which Schmahl took of the Wisconsin
senator's remarks which aroused ma
ton wide indignation and brought
thousands of impeachment demands
Yet there wasn't a question but that
the statements which LaFollette made
to hear. In fact they were the very
sentiments hundreds of men have
come from North Dakota and sections
of Minnesota and Wisconsin to hear.
They simply went wild. They didn't
leave the slightest question of a doubt
as to where they stood. Nor did they
leave a doubt as to where the league
stood"
Then Schmahl ventured an opinion.
which he declared was gaining added
weight in the northern states.
There is an impressian among
many people that the text of the La
Toilette speech was known by both
Republican and Democrat leaders be-
fore it was Delivered said Schmahl.
| But these men were smart enough
to know that approval by the Non
partisan League would put the brand
of Cain forever on the league. Sc
LaFollette told the league members
just what they wanted to hear.
Leagues Power Gone.
"Since that time the league mem
bers have talked pretty fair brands OF
loyalty and patriotism in public places
But there isn't much question as tt
the spirit which prevails in their Sc

taken to break up these meetings il

Smiths Announcement.
The Smith announcement follows:
Twenty years of successful newspaper
experience, followed by three years as state
printer. should especially qualify me to
carry on the difficult and important work
still remaining of installing equipment and
producing our school books. The present
plans have largely been inaugurated since
l came into office and their successful
completion can be carried out with greater
efficiency and economy by me than would
be possible by one who is new to the
work and the plant.
The printing plant must be conducted
as manufacturing and business institu-
ton and kept free from politics. During
the past year a business of over six hun
bred thousand dollars was done The
saving thus effected school books and
printing was sufficient to replace the
plant, building and grounds Under such
conditions no good business man would
change successful business superintend-
ent for one without experience.
The records show saving Of more-than
fifty thousand dollars yearly in the pur-
I chasing of printing stock.
I The salary of the state printer has been
saved at least twice over by the securing
of discounts alone on material and supplies.
During the rush of introducing the hun
| dreds of thousands of new books last
summer. in spite of the abnormal condi-
tons of market and transportation, stock
