Election of Jonathan Nj. Davis
Is Celebrated i'm Topeka.
Many SIaps Taken at Gov. Allen
and Industrial Court.

Organized labor furnished the final
setting for a successful conclusion OF
the Democrat rally in Topeka Monday
when the Kansas Bourbons celebrated
the election of Jonathan NJ. Davis as
governor. Topeka labor forces were
responsible for the parade on Kansas
avenue preceding the meeting and
cheered and yelled for every slap at
Governor Aliens retiring administra-
ton and for industrial court law re-
peal.
Following a day of joy making and
money raising the Bourbons put a fine
polish on their hilarity when orators
who talked at the auditorium meeting
predicted future and greater victories.
Davis himself was one of the principal
speakers at the gathering. He attack
ed the, industrial court law, but DID
not become specific as to the program
which he proposed for next winter.
He renewed his assaults on the alleged
newspaper ring which he declares has
been organized for control Of political
offices and election of their members
empted The State Journal from con-
nection with such an organization.
Slap at Governor Allen.
Sam B. Amidon of Wichita, Demo-
crat national committeeman, paid re-
spects to his ancient political enemy
and fellow townsman, Governor Al
len Amidon also took few hard
swings at the industrial court law,
globe trotting of Governor Aliens ap-
pointees and state house extravaganza.
Joseph Taggart of Kansas City. for
mer Second district congressman, add
ed to the JOY of Davis boosters by
handing the state administration
few body blows.
Davis told his crowd that the Dem
ocrat party was on trial and that its
ability to hold public confidence in
Kansas was in program of perform
ance. He appealed for support of his
Policies before the' legislature next
winter.
A crowd of more than 1000 people
"a majority of them from the shop
districts and representing labor or
ganizations-heard the sp e C h s.
Many women were among the 1880
marchers who paraded behind two
bands and cheered a funeral wagon
which bore a placard announcing
death of the industrial court.
At a business session of the Demo-
Gratis Monday afternoon. subscriptions
totaling $500 were received. The
money will be used in wfping out a
deficit of $4,000 from the 1922 cam
paign and to provide a war chest for
the state committee for expenses pre-
liminary to the 1924 campaign.

all last season in New York and Is
now playing in Chicago Inc play
is very clever and extremely laugh
able, but in being SO it avoids all the
banaity and-convention common in
many recent productions
The setting of the play is in Eng

the country home, situated just OH the

bachelor For more or less philan-
thropic reasons. LatiTner has made MS

Progressively the various stages OF the
Latimer treatment are given; the ar
rival of Leonard and Anne, protesting
at this interruption of their elope-
ment; the disillusionment of Mich
olas, who has run away with Leonard's
wife, Eustasia-
To their great surprise. but not to

FIRST DEFEAT IN STADIUM
Nebraska Victory Only One To Be
Allowed by Jayhawkers.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 14.-Now that
the Nebraska game is over at Kansas
interest centers in the Colorado and
Missouri games for Kansas university.
The Colorado game comes next Satur-
day on the Stadium field, apd the
Missouri game will be played on
Thanksgiving, following the custom OF
years The Missouri game will be
played in Columbia this season.
The Nebraskans proved their super
iority over Kansas Saturday by vim
ming. % to o, the same as the score in
1921. Fighting on a slippery field,
against a fast and powerful backfield,
coupled with line of great strength,
the Jayhawkers went to a royal defeat.
This is the first defeat or the Kan
sas eleven in the new memorial sta
dunn. For two years a clean slate
has been maintained in the stadium.
All previous home games have been
won. 1t was no disgrace, however, to
'Potsy" Clark aggregation faced last
week.
The Jayhawkers were outweighed
both in the lire and in the backfield.
The chances of Kansas winning went
glimmering in the second half when
rain started falling, and kept up dur
ing the remainder of the game. This
prevented the use of the forward pass.
which was the only Gnethod by which
Kansas could gain against the heavy
Cornhuskers.
A wild pass by Wilson, Kansas
quarter, fell into the arms of the fast
Scherer, Nebraska left end, who
raced forty yards for a touchdown,
gave the visitors the first counter. No
scoring was done in the third quarter,
but in the fourth the Nebraskans
started a march to the goal that could
not be stopped. The Kansans were
worn down and could not resist the
attack of the Huskers,
Thra@/ touchdowns were gained in
the fourth quarter by Hartley, Ne
braska captain, and two by Russell,
who substituted at quarter for Pres
ton.
The Nebraska eleven used straight
football almost altogether. The line
smashing of Lewellan, Nebraska, was
a feature of the game.
Injuries from the Nebraska game
were not serious, only a few bruises
being the result. Now the order of
events in stadium field at Lawrence is
to win the other two games on the
schedule. 1t is to this end that
Coaches Clark and Schlademan are
working.
