Ioratory. Occasional rains kept the
crowds indoors and the platform talent
was told to make the most of the OPP
Iportunify. The Republican congress
siona1 delegation came home from
Washington with a wagonload of in
dictments against President wilson
administrat ton. They proceeded to
unload TO the joy Of the party leaders
who yelled for more Democrats dis
played equal love and devotion for the
Republicans They read from the
Congressional Record and they quoted
dizzy, dazzling figures and statistics
and re1I calls to prove some super
power had delivered the government
in Washington.
There wasn't a hitch in the days
proceedings in the three party meets
ings. Platform planks were changed
and switched and revised and amended
as the party carpenters confronted
various situations. But in the main
the state platforms came from the
committee rooms much as had been
anticfpated-state issues being drawn
only in a mild sort of way on the m
dustriaI court and the constitutions
amendments being sidestepped so 1ar
as an issue is concerned
An Awful Slaughter.
While the platform planks We're
being nailed down, CONGRESSMAN Foley
Tincber. chairman of the Republican
deIeeation of congressional orators.
Tincher had himself spent thirty
minutes hanging the hide of the VIII
son administration on the fence IL
was a burning cutting speech that
Tincher brought to Topeka, and II
fIaved the Democrats for everything
from international dupiicity TO the
necutiar taste Of new style breakfast
foods.
Tincher's attack on the Wilson adj
minigtration concerned itself largely
with the league of nations. But the
chairman didn't forget to tell Of fall
IRE of the national administration to
buy Cuban sugar at 6 u cents pound
when congress had passed resolution
virtually demanding the purchase.
Tincher said the president might be
sick man. But ne recalled that at no
time has he been in a condition which
made impossible his veto of measure
passed by the Republican congress.
CONGRESSMAN Phil P. Campbell or
the Third district put the council on
fighting edge when he flayed the fed
/ era1 labor departments course In
canceIling deportation orders against
anarchists and disloyaHsts. 1t was a
singing attack on Assistant Secretary
Post and was a full portion contribu-
ton to the campaign cause. Con-
gresham James r. Strong of the Fifth
district and Judge Richard E Bird,
| congressional nominee in the Eighth,
/ followed Campbell. 1t was the great
est display of congressional talent ever
presented at a party council in this
state.
Bishop w. r. Vernon brought back
memories of early Kansas Day ban

HARDING WORKS FOR HARMONY
Is Fast AmaIgamating All Groups in
the Anti-Ieaguc Fight.

Marion, O.. Sept. Warren G.
Harding is making Roadway toward
putting into effect the campaign slo-
gan of Harding and harmony, ac-
cording to political observers here to-
day reviewing the progress OF the Re
publican campaign.
Harding went into the campaign
with two possible schisms in his party,
one over the league and one over the
progressives who failed to nominate
their candidates at Chicago. In both
cases Harding's friends here declared,
he has sealed up the cracks and made
his party a solid unit.
Harding's League of Nations posi-
ton, his advisers said, avoids the OBJ
jections of the bitter enders to the
Versailles league, while satisfying the
sentiment for an organization to set
tie international disputes.

Tested on both sides and a number of

If the testimony comes up to ad-

his opinion of the police force, which
isn't an exalted one. and the police
officers have no special love for Bow

Bowman's arrest followed a fight in

called to protest against the arrest OF
a man he had asked to aid him in

quets and the fights under the old
convention system, when he talked for
few minutes of Kansas and Kansans-
The negro is leaving for South Africa,
but his speech after an absence of
eight years revived memories of the
yesterdays in politics when Vernon
won the first and only invitation to a
negro TO sit at the Kansas Day club
banquet table and to respond to a
toast.
While the Republicans went in for
an afternoon of speech making, the
Democrats kept their oratory on ice
torium. During the day the Bourbons
discussed campaign plans and out
lined the drive for votes in the pre-
election campaign.
One of the admitted needs of the
party just now is a daily. newspaper
costs money, needs telegraph service
franchises and some one to meet the
pay roll. Sam Amidon, national COM
mitteeman, was confident half mill
publication. But the council ad-
journed without any actual cash go
ing into the fund. Some time this fall
a special committee will investigate
the matter.
DR.. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City
was the principal speaker at the night
meeting in the auditorium. Sam Ami
don, national committeeman, presided.
Speeches were made, also, by Jonathan
NJ. Davis, nominee for governor, and
Ralph O'Neil, nominee for attorney
general.
Platforms Full of Fight.
The Democrat platform devotes
much space to the extravaganza and
waste and inefficiency of the state ad-
ministration. The Republican plat
form speaks with equal feeling and
about the Democrats in Washington.
Both state platforms approved and
ratified the provisions of national plat
forms. No real state issue was drawn.
The Democrats criticised the operation
and policies of the court of industrial
relations, but did not go on record in
opposition TO the law. Neither was an
issue raised as to the amendm erts.
| Socialists wrote a platform pointing
to the new day. They showed the
greatest abandon and literally con-
demned both Republicans and Demo
Gratis.
It was a great day-for the orators.
And the men and women who are TO
carry the party gospel to Cheyenne
and Morton and Crawford and Brown
counties went home with the biggest
supply of inspiration ever presented in
Kansas party councils.

WIPING OUT DISEASE HERE.
City Health Board Preparing Path OF
Roses for school Children,

There are fewer active cases of con-
tagious disease in Topeka today than
at the beginning of any previous
month in years. The number of cases
reported to the city health department
during the month has also been light
er than usual. This is in line with the
ambition of health Officers to eliminate
contagious diseases by the time school
opens.
Today there were no active cases of
chickenpox, smallpox, diphtheria or
mumps in the city. There were only
two cases of measles, fourteen Of
whooping cough, four of scarlet fever
and fourteen of typhoid.
