REPUBLICAN CLAIMS

Kansas will give Senator Hardingra
plurality of $4,000 Tuesday, accord
ing to compilation of estimates from
vane. Republican national committee
man. On the basis of these returns
Mulvane believes there is a strong
chance to carry all of the los coun-
ties.
Mulvane's estimate is based on sew
eral hundred letters forecasting prob
able results in the various counties.
They are from county chairmen, can
didates for the senate and house and
conservative party workers. Because
of the lighter vote which will be cast
for state candidates, the majorities for
the state ticket will range from 900
to 100, 600, the reports show.
'It looks as tho the Republicans
have an excellent chance to carry ev-
cry county in the state Tuesday," said
Mulvane. Several hundred letters
which have received cover conditions
in every county. On the basis of the
as tho Senator Harding's plurality will
be about $4,000, while Senator Curtis
will have practically the same lead.
There is always a lighter vote on
state candidates. Four years ago this
difference was 47.529. This naturally
means a reIiecl1on IN the maJorlueS OIL
Republican state candidates. On the
basis of such estimates as 1 have re-
ceived it seems certain that the entire
state ticket will win by $4,000 to 100,-
900. 1t is also apparent that the Re-
publicans will elect all of the eight
congressman and will have over
whelming majorities in both sbranches
of the state legislature.
National headquarters in Chicago
has been in close touch with the state
committee in Topeka. Thru the state
organization an excellent, well organ
ized campaign has been conducted.
There has been the finest co-opera-
ton between national and state head
quarters during the campaign and the
national committee officers have only
the warmest praise for the excellent
manner in which the Republican state
committee in Kansas has made it's
fight.

DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS

Anything the Republicans win in
Kansas next Tuesday they will fight
for. The Democrats concede nothing.
They flatly claim four congressman.
the governorship. attorney general
and state superintendent of public in
struction-with assertions that all of
the other fighting will be close and
that the Democrats have a fair chance
to regain control of the state.
Forrest Luther. Democrat state
chairman, has been one of the char
acters of interest in the campaign just
ending. He came out of the short
grass country unknown and unsung
in state politics. No one seemed to
know exactly just how he landed the
job-or the job landed him. But after
a red hot fight, Luther is closing the
campaign with a record. He has been
aggressive, has shown ability as an or
ganizer and'the fact that he was a bit
new didn't seem to disturb his actions
or lessen his progress.
With the fighting spirit that he has
shown thruout the campaign. Luther
today laid a blanket over the state and
filed claim on almost everything in
sight
I'VE believe the presidential race in
Kansas will be close-very close" said
the Bourbon chairman. Cox has a
good chance to win in the state. Fact
is, we don't concede anything to the
opposition. Our reports have been
most optimistic.
ut looks as tho we will win in four
congressional districts. No, 1t is not
fair to all of the candidates to name
them. We have no doubt as to Con-
gresham W. A. Ayress reelection in
the Eighth district He will win by a
substantial majority.
Jonathan NJ. Davis is going to beat
Governor Allen for reelection. We
are confident of his success. Governor
Allen cannot overcome both the labor
opposition and the farmer opposition
which has developed because of his
proposed amendments to the state con-
stitution.
THE Democrats will also elect
Ralph O'Neil as attorney general over
Richard ]. Hopkins. while Colville will
win over Miss Wooster. And we have
a good chance for the other Offices"

TO COLLECT RENT
Suit Filed Today Against Demo-
cratic Committee.
Tom Ledenes Asks for $3.50
From Democrats.

Republicans in Topeka regard as a
huge joke the filing of a suit in the
district court this morning to collect
$3.50 for rent from the Democratic
state committee. The suit was brought
by Tom Ledenes and Theo. A. Voutis,
proprietors of the Victory lunch room
at Eighth and Kansas avenues. who
sub-leased the second floor of their
building to the committee for the
Democratic state headquarters.
The petition is directed against For
rest Luther, chairman; H. L. Stude-
want, treasurer and C. ]. Peterson.
secretary, of the state committee. 1t
is stated that after renting the second
floor of the building the defendants
declared they had rented it under a
misapprehension astto the amount of
the rent. The plaintiffs claim they
notified them or October 6 that If the
committee considered the rent too high
it could vacate the premises.
But the committee not only declined
to pay the additional rent, but also
refused to move until after the general
election next Tuesday, the petition de-
clares.
Ledenes and Voutis declare the rea-
sonable rent on the property from Au-
gust 25 to November 2 is S675. of
which s125 has been paid. They ask
Judgment in the sum of $3.50.

TELLS OF INDUSTRIAL COURT
e. b. Bryan, of Colgate College,
Talked Today.
Miss Wooster Approves Action

e. b. Bryan Speaks.
Claiming that the fact that God
WORKS thru human agencies in per-
forming His wonders. makes a chal-
lenge to the people of today to go
ahead and abolish everything which
stands ready to trammel the human
mind or the human race, Z. Il. Bryan,
president of Colgate college, HamiI-
ton, N. Y, devoted the greater part OF
his address to eulogizing the college
the war.
The spirit of universal brotherhood
was attained during the war. in the.
American forces, President Bryan de-
clared. He said that viriIe race of
men ana women can never be built up
SO long as the best of them are taken
out and slaughtered in continued
wars. A plea for the abolition of war
was the main theme of his address.
Greetings From Miss Wooster.

the greetings of the department. OF
education of the state to the teachers.
She congratulated the teachers on
having passed resolution recom-
mend1ng the establishment of fed
eral department of education. with A
cabinet member ranking with the sec
retaries of the interior, of labor and
of agriculture.
The attendance at the general ses-
sion this morning was small, most of
the teachers leaving before the end of
the session to catch their trains.
Politics Enter Meeting.
Politics continued to play a certain
part in the convention of the teach
ers' association, to the very end of the
last session. At the general session
Friday night. every person who en-
tered the hall was handed a circular
signed by H. S. Condit. acting super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League
of Kansas, calling attention to the fact
that the Democratic candidate for con-
gress from the First district had IAN

the records of the presidential candi-
dates, according to the circular put

ing a clean slate for dryness

law to the people.
1t is also there that the candidates
are chosen and the platform written
for the dominant political parties, thru
which this significant minority secures
control of the government and rules
the people.
Every man and every woman who
votes the Republican or Democratic
ticket on Tuesday next registers his
approval to Wall street and opposition
to the people.
The League of Nations is the biggest
fraud of all. Its purpose is to link
up the insignificant ruling and robbing
minorities of several nations and in
trench international capitalism more
securely to insure the perpetual min
ority rule of the people and exploita-
ton of the world.
The issue is revolution or reaction.
The people all over the world are in
revolt against capitalism and slavery.
Are you for or against them in the
worldwide struggle to break their
chains?
The tocsin of war sounds the death
knell of capitalism and the despotic
rule of the insignificant minority and
the liberation of the people
In this and every other political
battle the Republican and Democratic
parties fight for the insignificant min
ority against the people.
In this and every other political
battle the Socialist party fights against
the insignificant minority and for the
people.
The struggle today, as in ages past,
is between the producers and parasites.
The awakening workers are rising
from their knees. standing erect in the
consciousness of their power. hailinG
one another as comrades across boun-
dairy lines in every tongue of the race
and the whole world is aflame with
the social revolution.
The insignificant minority of non
producing parasites shall no longer
rule and wreck the world. Their time
is up. They must now go, and We So
cialists are organized for that very
purpose.
The people versus the parasites That
is the issue and the only one issue that
will confront you on election day.

Wheat Strikers Start Picketing
Against Selling Grain.
Growers Association to Finance
Farmers Who Hold Crop.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 30.-Picketing
has made its appearance in the
wheat strike in the farmers organ
lied effort to hold their grain from
the market until it reaches SO. ac-
cording to reports reaching national
headquarters of the Wheat Growers
association of the United States.
First reports of the farmers bor-
rowing this weapon of union labor
came from Harper. When one farmer
drove into that town yesterday with
load of wheat he was met by
.tpicketing' neighbors who finally won
him over to their grain embargo plan.
The Wheat Growers association is
planning to finance those farmers who
must sell some of their wheat to meet
their financial obligations. Secretary
McGreevey says if the farmers will
only cooperate for a short time they
will get enough more for their crop to
pay for all their trouble.
