Chicago, Aug. 1s-Kansas is to
rank with New York, Ohio and In
diana as the fighting ground of the
nation in the national campaign. That
is the information which has come to
Republican national headquarters
Plans are being laid for the most ag-
gressive sort of contest in Kansas. 1t
is probable that before the end of the
campaign Kansans will have heard
practically all of the star male and
female orators who are to take the
stump for Harding and Coolidge.
Just now the Republican national
committee is seeking to make star Sc
lections from list of $4,000 platform
workers. There are a number of Kan
widely known and effective speakers
will be used by the national commit
tee. These will probably include Sen
ators Curtis and Capper, w. R. Stubbs,
w Y. Morgan. James A. Troutman. AL
F. williams, F. Dumont Smith and
len Will also be called upon for out
side speeches. provided he is able to
leave his home state campaign.
The fact that the national Demo-
crat committee is listing Kansas as a
battle ground is expected to have a
decided tendency to send the highest
class of campaign orators to Kansas
for the Republican cause. David w.
Mulvane, Republican national COM
mite eeman, held several conferences
with officers of the committee during
the week. H. H. Motter, state chair
man, was also a caller at the head
quarters during a few hours stay in
the city following his trip to Colum- =
bus and Indianapolis.
Restore Kansas, Is Cry.
Mulvane doesn't hold the slightest
doubt as to the course Kansas will
take in the national campaign. He is

Harvest Sales
Aug. Is, Tin
Topeka Stores

Final plans have been made by the
merchants and business men OF To-
peka for the big Suburban Harvest
sales that will be held Aug. Is and II,
next Monday and Tuesday.
These sales are going to be in the
nature of a celebration of the won
derful crops Kansas has produced this
year. the merchants say, and they are
going to try to put out a bumper bar
gain offering that will be as startling
and as surprising as the fact that Kan
sas has at last succeeded in producing
a great corn crop and great wheat
crop during the same year.
Topeka stores are stocked up as
never before at this season of the
year-they are literally bulging with
bargains-and the wise shoppers will;
take advantage of the attractive prices
next Monday and Tuesday to lay in
full supplies. Cost is not be to consider
ed in marking down these goods for
the 2-day Suburban offerings and vast
quantities of staple merchandise and
goods fresh from the wholesalers will
be placed within the reach of all at
prices not heard of since before the
war.
Bargains will be as plentiful as the
corn and wheat in the Kansas granar-
chants of the city. No sale of the
kind has ever been so full of genuine
values.
The excellent and abundant stocks
of the Topeka stores and the good
financial conditions of the trade ter
ritory will combine to make the sales
event an extraordinarily successful
one. it is expected by all who have
planned the sales. Heavily advertised
in Topeka and Topeka's trade terri
tory. the sale will bring hundreds OF
persons to the city's shopping district
Monday and Tuesday.
The State journal today carries the
bargains. Turn over the pages and
jot down your shipping list.

the senate Saturday by vote Of 46 to
80. ending II prolonged discussion of
the measure and making the holiday
recess of congress possible. 1t went

recession January l. the date pre-
vously set by President Wilson for
return of the lines to their owners. No

intention reached congress before add
jonrnment over the holidays.

however. has plans ready for their re-
turn January l. under Il presidential
