 Of the minor party candidates, one, Eugene V. Debs. the Socialist nom inee, spent November 2 behind the bars of the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, from which he issued a final appeal to voters to vote for the emancipation of the workins speculation among leaders of the old parties as to how high the popular votes of the Socialists the Farmer Labor ticket headed by Farley Chris jensen and the Prohibitionists, led run.
 Early reports to both Republican and Democratic headquarters indicate | that the vote in populous centers, the communities, was getting out early In New York the polls opened at
 a. rn., and there were lines of voters
 waiting before the polling booths ir many places. The proportion o1 women among the early birds was | heavy.
 In New England, too, early reports showed an unusually heavy vote, with i many women eager to cast their bal | lots for the first time. 1 Leaders on both sides were fearfu | that the election machinery in many parts of the country would prove in adequate to meet the demands made upon it. Universal suffrage increased l the number of voters in the United States by anywhere from 60 to 10( per cent, with no corresponding in crease in the facilities to take care
 of it. Party workers declared tha this may make the returns slow il getting in tonight, in addition to caus ing confusion and congestion at vot l ing booths.

ELEVENTH DISTRICT.

Mrs. Mary Schorndorf of 66 Elias street, was the first voter in this dis trict, she casting her ballot at 5:31, a. minute after the polls opened. At 12>eo' clock S67 votes out of the total vote of>1534, had been cast. It was said the morning visitors were about 50 per cent. women and that some of them came to the polls with ba,- bies in their arms and others trailing along with small children. As in other districts the straight ticket seemed to predominate. Of all the districts on the East Side there seemed to be less enthusiasm and party workers at this district.

ss5,ooo LIGHT BONDS CARRIED

The citizens of Wakeeney are will
ing for the city to spend the sum of
S65,0O0 If necessary for the construc-
tion of a new steam power electric
light plant. The proposition was sub
mitted at an election held last Thurs
day, July L, and was carried by an
overwhelming majority, the vote be-
ing four to one in favor of the bond
issue WaKeeney is certainly in need
of improvements in its electric light
system and the majority of the citi-
zens are in favor of building a new
plant instead of trying to improve
the old one. The issue was clearly
stated in the argument presented be-
fore the election. This Improvement
will cause an increase in taxes but
no municipal improvements or pro-
gress can be made without increasing
taxes. fractional or partisan politiez
had no part in the election but it was
a clear business proposition and voted
upon in that way 1t will be several
months at best before anything can
be accomplished and WaKeeney may
have to go through another winter
with its present intermittent lighting
system, but there are better days
ahead.

CAPTURED NEGRO HOLD-UP
SUSPECT

The first round up of a bunch of
harvest criminals for the season by
Under Sheriff Fox took place Mon
day night or perhaps earlier Tuesday
morning. Word was sent down from
the west that the train crew on the
through freight west which goes
through here between 10 and IL o.
clock, had been held up by three ne
groes near Oakley and that they had
boarded another freight and were re-
turning east. As the freight came in
to the WaKeeney yards the head
brakeman ran into the depot and
called Mr.. Fox. The three negroes
were rounded up in a box car and
were being searched when one of them
attempted to run away. Sheriff Fox
took a shot at him and the negro fell
like he had been killed. AS the sheriff
turned to look after the other two this
presumably dead man jumped up and
started to run again. Mr.. Fox left
the other two men in charge Of the
brakeman asking that the train be
held until he returned but ow-
ing to train orders it had to be taken
out in order to clear the track for the
passenger train. The lone negro was
located in. the weeds near the resi-
dence of Mrs. Olson and landed in
Jail The negroes had one revolver
but the officer and the trainman got
| it away from them before they got a
chance to use it. The negro was
wounded in the leg but the injury is
not serious.
His two companions were not cap
tured at Ellis. He was given a thor
ough examination but stoutly denied
any knowledge of the hold-up and as
no evidence could be found on or
about him he was turned loose and
| went out of town on the jitney Wed
nesday.

GOVERNOR cox THE NOMINEE

After one of the most closely con-
tested conventions in the history of
he party, Governor James NJ. Cox, of
Ohio, was nominated as the demo-
crat nominee for the president of the
United States at the San Francisco
convention The forces of President
Wilson who sought to dictate the nom
ination and the supporters of VIM. J.
Bryan who sought to direct in the
proceedings were finally side tracked
and Governor Cox, who is opposed by
each of these great leaders was nornI-
mated by acclination on the fourty-
fourth ballot after it was apparent
that he would receive the nomination
any way if the roll call of states con-
tinued- This is the first defeat Mr.
Bryan has had at a convention since
he was nominated as the party can
didate for president in 1896 1t is
also the first defeat for Mr. Wilson
since he became dictator of the af-
fairs of the nation and the party

DIvED-STRUCK A ROCK

S. J. Straw was called to Cove City
Sunday to take charge of the body of
George J Hutchinson, who had met
death that morning while swimming
with a bunch of his companions in a
pool in the blackberry west of Cove.
His home was at Lincoln, Kansas, and
he had gone to Cove county Co assist
friend during the harvest work
He had been in the water for some
time and had gotten out when his
companions told him that he had a
batch of mud on his back. He then
dived into the pool and although he
came to the surface once afterward
his body sank from sight and his com
panions realized he was drowning.
After the body was found the ap-
pearances indicated that when he
dived into the pool he had struck a
rock which left a bruised mark on his
forehead. The force of the blow
probably stunned him and he soon
drowned. The body was brought to
WaKeeney and prepared for ship
ment to Lincoln. The young mans
father and a brother came over Mon
day and accompanied the body to their
home

VERY QUIET JULY FOURTH

Unfortunately for the youth of this
country the Fourth of July comes at
the wrong season of the year to be
appropriately celebrated in this part
of Kansas. 1t comes right in the mid
die of harvest and farmers and mer-
chants are too much engrossed in
taking care of their financial affairs
to devote even a day to giving
expression to patriotic sentIm ent-
The love of money is ruling the land
instead Of patriotic sentiment. The
Fourth of July was a sleepy, quiet
old day in this vicinity as far as ex-
pressions of patriotism were con-
cerned. There was nothing doing
save the intermittent and occasional
explosion of a few cap guns by the
small boys and the discharge of
three or four sticks of dynamite. We
who are older, cannot but have a feel
ing of sorrow for the youths of to-
day in their dry old ''celebrations,' OF
the Fourth of July when we think OF
the times used to have when we
were boys. There may be patriotism
in the safe and sane celebrations but
1t IS not very apparent.
