The Democratic party believes 1T the honest enforcement of the Civi i Service.
 The Republican party has violated l the principle and the policy of the Civil Service and re-enthroned the vicious spells system. These are but some of the out ] standing domestic issues which pre- sent themselves in this campaign and are set forth with others in detail l herein.
 The outcome of the recent Dis l armament Conference clearly dem onstrated that the Republican leader ship was obliged not only to reverse it's former attitude of bitter hostility to all Democratic foreign policies, but that it was also obliged to adopt and into some of the treaties the vicious and war-breeding policies of the counter-alliance or the separate all liance which always contains the germs of future wars. This was a more far-reaching policy in it's great war dangers than was ever charged to the League of Nations by it's bitterest opponents. The policy, the princi- pie and the spirit of the League of Nations were, on the other hand, cheerfully embraced and written into the treaty by Senator Lodge and oth- CT Republican agents of the Presi- dent.
 Al the fundamentals of the recent Democratic Administrations foreign and domestic policies, political, eco homie and social were and are sound, time is thoroughly demonstrating.
 The issues arising from Republi- can failure, omission or incompetence which confront the voters, are numer- ous, and may be summarized as fol- lows:
 Republican Failures as Campaign Issues.
 The failure of promise to reduce interIial taxes.
 To effect either a practical or sensible revision of the tariff.
 To reorganize and consolidate the Government departments and to re- duce the number of employees and effect large savings.
 To establish a merchant marine policy.
 To prosecute criminal profiteers i and to suppress profiteering.
 To establish working permanent policy.
 To restore reciprocal foreign mar | kets.
 To propose any definite foreign

policy.
 To establish an association of ma tions.
 To establish any industrial policies offering a just and peaceful settle ment of the relations between capital and labor. i To enforce the Jones Shipping law after threatening to impeach Wilson for his refusal to do so. To observe either the letter or the spirit or the policy of the Civil Ser vice laws. To provide for better farm credits tion and for cheaper farm and other transportation.
 To reduce rent, fuel and the high cost of living. To put into practical and success ful application the budget system, with the result that the Treasury was obliged to postpone payment of ac- crued obligations to 1923 in order to show paper balance for 1922. The estimated deficit for 1923 now ex- ceeds 100000.
 
 To prevent the industrial panic of 1921-22.
 There never was a greater need for a return to political honesty in the light of the recent record of the Re- publican party under reactionary leadership, and the people should join with Democrats in stamping out po- litical perfidy, insincerity and double dealing as practiced by these leaders.
 On every question and condition affecting the welfare of the people that may arise, the Democratic party will take it's stand in accordance with its proven fidelity to the people and to all the fundamentals of free and representative government.
 The Democratic party is now as it has always been the true voice of ! America.

TWO MORE RALLIES
 FOR COUNTY DEMOCRATS

The County Democratic candidates are to hold two more rallies before the election. The first will be held at Williams on Saturday, November 4th and the second will be held at Flag staff on Monday, November 9th. The series of rallies which the demo- crats have been holding have gone off with marked success. Enthusiasm is running high for the entire demo- cratic ticket, and it certainly looks like there will be democratic land slide on November 7th.

Browning the efforts of several contest, Arizona has at last won the famous ''Three-Cent Fare Case" This means that reduction of 1.2c per mile has been obtained on all passenger rates throughout the state.

SESSION
President to Issue Congress
sionaI Call for Nov. 20.
Clean Up Slate Before Adjourn
ment in March.

Washington, Nov. President
Harding expects to issue a call Thurs
day or Friday for a special session of
congress convening November 90, it
was announced today at the White
House.
1t was said that altho the president
was not irrevocably committed to the
proposaI for the special session, which
has generally been expected by con-
gressional leaders. only an eleventh
hour change of mind would prevent
him from issuing the call.
The plan for a special session after
the election has received the general
endorsement of senate and house lead
ers 1t is understood the president
feels that by meeting at least two
sion the legislative program can be
so advanced as to enable congress To
clean UP its slate by the time the reg
ular session ends next March 4.
The feeling among administration
officials has been that unless an ear
Her start is made than would be pos
sible with congress meeting the first
Monday in December, an extra session
undoubtedly would be necessary after
next March 4.
Altho the program for the special
session has not been worked out defi-
nitely it briefly provides for consider
alton by the house of the merchant
marine bill, and work by the senate
on the Dyer anti-lynching measure
which has already passed the house.
Administration leaders hope these two
measures can be disposed of by the
time the regula@ session convenes, and
house leaders have assured the presf-
dent that by that time committee work
on a number of the regular appropri-
ations will have been finished. The
house appropriations committee has
been called to meet Friday to begin
it's work.
To Name New Justice.
A successor to Associate Justice Day
of the supreme court. whose resigna-
ton becomes effective November IA,
will be nominated by President Hard
ing as soon as congress reassembles, it
was said today at the White House.
Officials added, however, that it had
not been determined whether the
nominee will be a Democrat or a Re
publican, or from the north or the
south.
Should Associate Justice Pitney also
retire from the supreme bench on ac-
count of illness, however, it is ex-
pected in some quarters the president
will name a Democrat for one of the
two vacancies

results While the Democrats are
claiming a landslide, the dope sheets,
ouija boards and political prophets
are too uncertain this year to war
rant cash investments. Most of the
money placed on the Morgan-Davis
governorship contest has been on the
basis of majorities- Davis support
ers have demanded long odds-in
or lose proposition and a plurality
margin of $4,000 to 10000 where even
money has been placed.
Both sides are today claiming bene-
fits because of the weather. The
Democrats who had previously filed
on the radical labor vote in the towns
believe the tax revolt in the rural dis
tricts will register a heavy jolt for
the Republicans. On the other hand
the Republicans expect to offset city
losses thru small town andsrural gains.
Kansas never closed a big cam
paign so quietly. There were a few
Monday night political meetings. but
in the main no effort was made to dis
turb the weekend reflections and
eleventh hour decision of the voters.
Today the workers are on the job, but
there Is little evidence of red fire OF
many former memorable battles.
Republicans appear sanguine as to
their ability to win with the state
ticket On the other hand the dogged
hope and faith of the Bourbons has
held thru to the finish.
An Upset May Come.
Any number of observers expect
an upset in the days voting. 1t may
come. But it is a long. tedious route.
To win the Democrats st hold all
the Davis strength of two years ago
and overcome the Allen jority of
10000 in 1920. Republicans gen.
orally conceded heavy losses in plu-
ralities. Uncertainty as to the swing
of an off year vote, tho, makes guess
ing a decidedly ticklish business.
Not until tonight will the big puzzles
of the campaign be solved for the
men and women at political headquar-
ters. Speculation as to the Ku Klux
Klan strength, the wallop of the labor
crowd, the course of the farmers on
the tax problem and the final harbor
selected by Democrat Catholics are
elements in today's election that in
volve thousands of votes-possibly the
election itself.
Local Issues Involved.
Local issues are entering into the
state fight in many counties today.
These issues-taxes. road problems,
the industrial court, marketing legis-
lation and a score of other questions
affect the state ticket in a measure

1.-THE worst Bolshevist is better than

Near East Relief in the Caucasus. said
today at Topeka. Captain Yarrow,
who has spent practically all his time
since 1914 in the Caucasus, and who
has seen more of the world war than
any other man who has visited To-
peka. stopped in Topeka today to call
on w. A. Biby, state chairman of the
Near East Relief.
THE Bolshevfsts are bad, but they
are temporary, and they do not rep
resent the true spirit of the Russian
people. They are rapidly coming

They are holding on to some of their
SocialiStic ideaS-the ones which are
practicable-and are slowly abandon
ing their radical tendencies. There
will be no further revolutions in Rus

sanity.
But the Turk-he is more danger

Captain Yarrow Launched into a de-
scription of Turkish atrocities which
occurred under his very eyes, to back
up his arraignment.

place. Then, with his wife and chill

plete6 by the girl students of Adelphi
college, Brooklyn.
The flapper. the Adelphi girls made
known in making public the question
naire today, is not yet obsolete, altho
probably not as prevalent as for

ultra-modern sisters, the students
handled their topic with the utmost
frankness and the consensus of their
findings could not by any means be
called complimentary
Summarized, the girls of Adelphi re-

A few of the definitions follow:
"A girl between the ages of Is and

The country IS out of the woods so
far as business depressions are con-
cerned, Secretary Hoover asserted. He
said that unemployment conditions
market of the east was in better con-
dftion than any time in many months.
Improved conditions of the east are
steady extending to the west states.
the cabinet member said, and Kansas
with other states in the middle west
were in line for industrial growth and
business prosperity.
A Steady Revival.
Business thruout the country Is i'm
proving greatly said Secretary
Hoover in response to a question.
There has been a steady revival dur
ing the last few months and in very
short time the direct effects will be
felt thruout the big agricultural Sec
tions.
Unemployment conditions have
been been entirely overcome in the
east and this improvement is extend
ing rapidly into the middle western
states. In fact it is almost safe to
say right at this time that there are
really no unemployment conditions in
the country. That situation in itself
defines the business growth of the last
year and half Sixteen months ago
there were between four and five mil
lion unemployed in the country-now
virtually none"
Tariff Favors Farmer.
The new tariff act. Would It mean
prosperity or handicap for the KAN
sas farmer?
"erhe new tariff law is favorable 20
the farmer" said Secretary Hoover.
1T should mean better markets and
better markets and greater demands
mean higher prices. The Kansas
farmer ought to find the new tariff
act the most beneficial he has ever
known"
''Will the tariff revision mean an
increase in living costs?"
Secretary Hoover demurred. He re-
fused to place responsibility for any
increase in living costs on the new
federal enactment.
Won't Bring Up Costs.
"I don't believe the tariff will IN
crease living costs at ALL" he said.
But benefits to industry and to busi-
ness by virtue of the tariff law will
mean higher wages and increased in
dustrial activity. Increased wages
naturally mean a probable increas in
living costs and living standards are
changed"
During the fuel strike Secretary
Hoover's department was in charge OF
much of the task of untangling THO
big problem and solving the puzzle OF
a winters fuel supply. Now the cab
met member believes the situation has
been adequately met.
In the next few weeks there will
be no opportunity to move additional
large fuel supplies to northern lake
points because of freezing weather"
said the secretary of commerce.
About ten to fifteen per cent of our
normal fuel output finds an outlet
thru lake transport. In consequence
a greatly increased tonnage will be
released for other sections of the
country. Kansas and other states in
the Middle West should quickly feel
the relief which will come with this
big increase in supplies. So far as an
adequate fuel supply is concerned. the
