Returns to Hatch.

fore Ballots Are In.
EVANS STILL HAS CHANCE
But Thompson Has Near Safe
Lead of 1,550.
Presidential EIectOr Count
Swamps States Office.

Martin Miller of Fort Scott, man
aSer of Jonathan NJ. Davis's primary
campaign for the Democratic guber-
Material nomination, is completing
plans for a big non-political congrat-
ulatory picnic that will be held at the
Little Usage Stock Farm, Davis's coun-
try place near Bronson, next Tuesday.
There will be a basket picnic lunch,
athletic contests and Miller says he
will have bands on hand from every
town in southeast Kansas. Davis men
and other prominent Democrats from
all over the state are expected to at
tend.
While the official count of the pri-
mary returns, with about half of the
counties included, shows that Davis is
leading o. T. Wood by only S4S votes,
it is considered very improbable that
Wood has a chance to nose out-ahead
| of the Bronson Bourbon leader. In
the counties where the biggest votes
were polled the returns are included
in the tabulations. and it would be
necessary for Wood to make practical
! ly q clean sweep in the other counties
for him to beat Davis.
Thompson in Lead.
The same situation exists in the Re-
| publican contest for state treasurer
! between Thompson and Evans that ex-
| lists in the Davis-Wood race. Returns
from eighty-seven counties give
| Thompson lead of $50 and IL would
not be impossible for Evans to over
| take this-but it is considered very
| improbable that he will do SO. Evans
| has been getting a number of the
smaller counties that were slow about
| sending in returns, but. as in the Da-
wis., contest, all of the big coun-
| ties have been counted.
! The ambitions of too many Republic
cans to win the honor of being preSi-
dental electors Is causing much addf-
| tional work in tabulating the returns
and preparing them for the state can
wasting board, and it will push the
force in the office of L. J. Pettijohn,
secretary Of state, to finish the work
befo%e the date when the state can
wasting board is to meet. There were
! twelve candidates for presidential cleo
tors on the Republican ballot with
only ten to be chosen, and this is add
ing greatly to the labor of compiling
totals However, an effort is being
made to complete the work by next
Monday night.

least, to the increase in freight rates.
authorized by the interstate commerce
commission recently, to go into effect
August &c. The words freight rate
increase" probably will be stressed in
the merchants dissertation on that
ever-present and intangible subject,
overhead"
But R. G. Merrick. general freight
agent of the Santa Fe, comes along
with some information. in a statement
issued by him today, that will enlight-
en- the buying public as to just how
much effect this advance in freight
rates will have on clothing and food
sold in Topeka. Merrick lists twenty
five commodities. showing the actual
results in cents of the freight rate
hike.
One Cent on Shoes.
The large sum of one cent will be
added to the cost of shipping a pair
of shoes-a commodity that is pre-
dicted to soar this fall-from st. Louis
and 2.6 cents for hauling the same
pair of shoes from Boston. An ad-
vance of 20 cents in the cost of ship
ping mems suits from Chicago and 4.3
cents from New York will result, ac-
cording to Merrick's figures. 1t will
cost the merchant / cents more to
get ladies suit from Chicago and 2.6
cents from New ork.
Food Advance Low.
Increases in costs of shipping food
commodities will be slight, Merrick
points QUE They range from four
hundredths of a cent on a pound of
bacon or ham shipped here from Kan
sas City or St. Louis to SIS cents on
a 100-pound sack of flour from Min
neapoIis. MINI. Most of the increases
are fractions of a cent, however.
The freight rate increase will hit

extent of 81 cents to Kansas City and
