Their EFFORTS WERE IN Vain
Many Names Were Written in on
Primary Ballots.

There was a lot of promiscuous
writing in Of names on the primary
ballots, but as a rule these efforts
were quite in vain, for under the
primary law to effect the nomination
of name not on the primary ticket,
the prospective nominee must receive
at least five per cent of the party vote
cast at the last general election. The
official vote of the judicial election
district udges-showed nineteen diff
ferent names written in on the pri-
mary ballots. receiving from one to a
dozen votes each. In the 18th dis
trict. Judge o. P. Fuller of Winfield,
as Democratic candidate, was written
in on six Republican ballots. Although
the names of four Republicans were
written in, none received enough votes
to become the party nominee so Judge
Fuller has no opposition for re-elec-
ton.
Similar instances occurred in the
Clark, of Peabody, consequently has
no opposition for reelection. Judge
Fred R. Smith of Manhattan, Judge
c. W Ryan. Wathena. who defeated
Judge W. I. Stuart of Hiawatha:
Judge George L. Hay of Kingman,
Judge Dallas Grover of Salina, Judge
Charles E. Vance OF Garden City,
Judge Robert G. Heller of Usage City,
each was renominated by the Repub-
licans and they have no opposition al
though the names OF opposing can
didates were written in on the tickets.
Judge L. NJ Day of Greenburg, Demo-
cratic nominee, will have no opposi-
ton on November z, although the
names of two written in candidates
received a few votes for Republi-
cans to oppose him.

NOT The BIGGEST
Midget Circus Booked for the
Novelty Theater.
Is First of Series of Big Line
Acts Coming.

1.-THE Smallest Circus on Earth" is
coming to Topeka There have been
tire ecircuses here this summer, each
claiming to be the Greatest" but
Sternad's goes to the other extreme.
The show is coming to the Novelty
theater soon, according to an an
nouncement made today by Manager
B. D., McNown. The act employs
twenty people, fourteen of whom are
midgets.
In addition to the tiny actors there
the star is Carrie, who, tho Is years
old is still the size of a badly elephant
and who for years has refused to grow
at all. There are also tiny horses,
not Shetlands but midget horses.
Dwarf dogs, monkeys and whole
menagerie in keeping with the size
of the actors are included. The per-
formance staged by the midgets is
forty-ffve minutes in length, one of
the longest vaudeville acts ever
put on.
Stenad's Circus will be but part
of the bill for the week when it ap-
pears here. 1t will pc preceded by an
episode of each of the two serials
running at the Novelty and two other
vaudeville acts each to be the best
Manager McNown can find for the
week,
The midget act is coming here
right off the Orpheum circuit and is
the first of the series of such acts
that have been booked for Topeka.
Each week starting with the first OF
September, there will be at least one
and often two Orpheum acts each
week, McNown announces.
There will be times when Or
pheum acts are booked in when no
announcement is made,'' he said to-
day. This will be done to see if the
vaudeville patrons can pick out the
Orpheum stuff. We have had many
inquiries as to why we did not book
Orpheum vaudeville and this will be
a try-out. If it is appreciated there
will be a constantly increasing num-
Der Of such acts. We have had Or
pheum stuff before but often our
regular acts were moro appreciated
than the so-called high class offer
ings'"

INCREASES MOTOR TRAFFIC
Steamboat Springs, Colo, Builds
Beautiful Tourist Camp.

The establishment of the Victory
highway thru Steamboat Springs, in
Routt county, Colorado, has in
creased motor tourist traffic thru that
city by 100 per cent, and has resulted
in the construction of one of the
most enticing tourist camps there to
be found along the entire highway.
The camp is located on an island -
a lake near the town. The island is
supplied with mountain water, piped
there from the city mains, with plenty
of shade trees, with other conven-
fences. Nearby there are several
mineral springs, from which the city
has derived it's name, and the locality
is one noted thru the Rock noun
tains for the trout fishing which it
offers.
The island on which the tourist
camp is located is reached by means
of rustic bridge which has just been
completed this summer.
Motor tourists using the Victory
highway frequently find the camp
ground at Steamboat Springs so pleas
ant that they break their journeys
there for several days.

streets hungry, looking for food, yet
in the recent great war he was the
Herbert Hoover of England. He was
knighted for his services and now is
employed by the Australian govern
ment and is trying to save it from
bankruptcy. In his elegant apart
ments at the Claridge hotel, one of
the finest in Paris, he gave US ban
quet that would have been an honor
to the American ambassador.
Line President Takes a Hand
when we took the boat at Liver
pool on the homeward voyage he sent
US a wire wishing US a happy trip.
We were hardly on the boat before
the purser came to US with a letter
from Sir Thomas Fisher, president of
the Canadian Pacific line, directing
that everything possible be done for
our convenience and comfort. This
was the result of a communication to
him from Sir William. He is a great
man and a great Englishman, but he
still has a very warm spot in his
heart for Kansas and Topeka. His
brother is now occupying an admin
istrative office in Rhodesia and is one
of the men who directs the govern
ment of that South African state He
wears several decorations and prob
ably will soon be knighted also.
"A trip of this kind is a great edu-
cation. One sees many new and in
teresting things, but above all it in
creases ones love, respect and pride
for the old .. S. The most thrilling
moment of the trip was when we ar
rived home. My houSekeeper, who
was raised in London, visited her old
friends and relatives there, and 1 am
confident 1 brought her back a better
American than when she left.
Found Challis In London
"On our way over we were fortunate
in our choice of a boat. At our table
was Doctor Goodenough of Johns
Hopkins university. and Mrs. Goode-
nough, and Doctor Cole. of North
western, a great explorer, who was
then on his way to the South Sea Is
lands. And also there was a very in
teresting woman, Mrs. Mitchell, of
California, who was born in Australia,
and who was then on her way back
to England to settle her late husband s
estate. 1t was quite accidental that
we were assigned to this table, but
we could have hunted for year and
not found more interesting and con-
genial companions.
1.-THE only person from Kansas
met was Jim Challis, Atchison attor-
ney, whom I found wandering around
Piccadilly square. John Schenck and
the other Topeka people, who started
the Europeon tour from the south,
had not arrived in England by the
time we left. I have been very much
worried, for they tell me that in the
south of Europe, like the north, liquor
is plentiful and easy to get"
