BRIEF FILED IN RATE CASE.
Santa Fc to Prove That Interstate
Commission Was Correct.

A brief, giving for the Information
Of the interstate commerce commas
sion. figures to prove that the COM
mission was correct in allowing an in
crease in rates to the railroads. was
filed yesterday by Judge w r. Smith
of the legal department of the santa
Fe. with the interstate commerce com
mission. The brief is comprehen-
sive affair including the reports OF au-
ditors on the earnings of the roads in
volved.
The statement is expected to have
an effect on the decision of the COM
mission to allow a rehearing OF the
case which has been applied for by
the state Industrial court
The state industrial court granted an
increase to the railroads operating in
Kansas of less than the increase
granted by the interstate commerce
commission, and IS endeavoring to Sc
cure a rehearing before the commits
sion in order to bring the increase al
lowed by that body down to the figure
set by the court
The railroads are also preparing an
appeal from the decision of the state
Industrial court, which will be filed
shortly with the interstate commerce
commission.

after the New York delegation had
stood out and refused to vote for the
New Jersey governor.
Cummings Is Uncertain.
While in Topeka Cummings was
just a bit uncertain as to the ability
of the Democrats to win this year
without New York. But he expressed
confidence that it would be COM
paratively easy job if the state fell in
line for Governor Cox. On the basis
of practically all reports, however,
New York is lining up for a place in
the Harding column. But that doesn't
change the former national chairman's
views in the least.
(which states will decide the cleo
tion?" was asked of Cummings after
his speech at the auditorium.
We'll, it looks as tho the real battle
ground is in Ohio. Indiana, New Jersey
and West Virginia" he said. But he
wouldn't venture a guess on results in
the five states except that all of the
states looked like good fighting ground
for the Democrats this year. Four
years ago Indiana, West Virginia and
New Jersey went Republican. Ohio
lined up as a Democrat state, but re-
turned to the Republican fold in 1918.
Maryland stayed true to the Democrats
in both fights, but is regarded as I'M
certain soil this year.
How about New York;" was asked.
If Western States Help?
"Oh, if New York went Democratic
it would be much easier of course.
But 1 believe we can win outside of
New York, particularly if these states
line up and we have the support of
such middle western and western
states as should help
Cummings is not making predictions
as to his own state-Connec The
state was Republican in 1916-1918.
That the Democrats desire is to win
without the aid of New York was
clearly apparent in Cummings state
ment. But Cummings is this year a
bit uncertain as to just the manner in
which the near miracle may be &C
complished. Nor was there a con-
siderable display of hope and conf
dence in his expression.
The woman situation is also equally

1t is the plan of the Democrats to

NO BIG PRICE REDUCTION.
Good Business This Winter Is Looked
Fer By Merchants.

Topeka merchants are taking their
losses in the campaign to force prices
down, cheerfulIy, and several of them
say that they are not sustaining any
great loss. But they do not believe
there is going to be any spectacular
drop in the price of clothing.
Good business during the winter is
anticipated by all the merchants The
fall in the price of raw materials is
not yet affecting wholesale prices to
any considerable extent, they say, and
in the reimbursement which must come,
somebody has to lose money.
Lower prices will be effective IN the
spring, according to the expectations
of most of the merchants. The re-
taller who has not been stocking heav-
lily, but who has just been buying
enough to meet actual demands while
he waited to see what the buying pub
lie and the market would do is the
one who will lose the least money.
