Get VOTE EARLY
Brewster Rules the Results
Must Be Given Out.
Double Board System Will
Speed Up the Count.

Kansas ought to have a fairly good
line on what the cities are doing in the
election next Tuesday by the middle
of the afternoon. The double election
board system is in effect in practically
all of the cities of the state and as they
begin to count the votes the infor-
nation can be made public. One board
begins work when the polls open. The
other board comes to work several
hours later and begins to count the
ballots already cast.
S. N. Hawkes., assistant attorney
general. in an opinion today, held that
there was no reason why the infor-
nation of the result of the vote should
not be given out as the count proceeds
The election officials need not and
possibly could not legally give out this
information but the law provides for
watchers at the polls and these watch
ers can give the information of the to-
tai votes for different candidates to
the newspapers or such persons as may
be directly interested. The candi-
dates for office are permitted to send
watchers to all polling places to watch
the votes as they are counted. These
watchers can and will have accurate
information of the count as it goes
along and the attorney general has
held that it is perfectly lawful for
them to give out such information on
the count as they may possess.
Two years ago when the double cleo
ton board system was first tried the
attorney general announced a similar
ruling and early in the afternoon the
trend of the vote in the cities of the
state was well known.

dent Wilson puts loyalty to himself
above loyalty to the war"
Colonel Roosevelts telegram was in
comment on a message of the presi-

senate in New Mexico. expressing the
hope that Senator Fall would be de-
feated on the ground that he had not
been a supporter of the administers

Colonel Roosevelt said he had
learned of the presidents act with

platform "denounces the war and de-
clares for what is. in effect. a German
peace. in language which makes 1t out
of the question to treat as loyal
American any man who at this crisis
runs on such a platform.
The colonel said no man in congress

pressed the hope that he would be re-
