A BARGAIN FOR BILLY
Lieut.. Col. Charles l.. Mitchell
Offers His Uniform to Next Gov
ernor at Reduced Price,

Who will be the next governors s
aide-the next fightin' lieutenant
colonel of Kansas?
That question may be of some con-
Germ to Billy Morgan. the Republican
nomi- ee. but it is of much more i'm
portance to Lieut.. Col. Charles L.
Mitchell of Topeka, who has been
standing around Governor Allen for
several years.
Early Wednesday morning when 1t
looked as tho Billy Morgan was slip
ping by Stubbs in the primary returns,
Colonel Mitchell sent a rush telegram
to the next governor at Hutchinson
Was it a congra tulation? Was 1t a
weIl-wisher for the success in the
general election? Was it a welcome
to the capital city?
No, not this time.
It was a telegram offering to w.
Y. Morgan a size ~ fully equipped,
bumpers, seat covers and all, colonePs
uniform-and at a greatly reduced
price. The offer was made in the
form of a request that Mr.. Morgan
appoint an aide who weighed not less
than 2S0 pounds.
Colonel Mitchell went thru mental
anguish equipping himself for his
heroic duties under Governor Allen.
There wasn't a Sam Browne belt in
the entire United States army that
would go around the coloners celestial
spheric circle. Finally a harness
maker in Albuquerque, N M, con-
sented TO round up enough cattle and
collect sufficient hide to manufacture
the regulation decoration.
In this hand made and tailored belt,
added to an expensive layout of car
load consignment army cloth, Colonel
Mitchell appeared at public occasions
Also he went on an official trip TO
Old Mexico representing the state OF
Kansas at a crowning or something
down there in trouble land.
Colonel Mitchell hasn't any use for
his outfit now that Governor Allen is
going back to Wichita. He promises
Billy Morgan that the only favor he'll
ask of his administration is that he
appoint an aide who is of the Mitchell
proportions-if such a human being
can be rounded up in this prairie land
OF ours.

IS AGAINST REED
Independent Candidate Talked
OF by Anti-Reed Forces.
Missouri May Yet Have a Three
COrnered Race in November.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Louis, Aug. 5.-With the nomi-
nation of United States Senator James
A. Reed assured, the st. Louis Post
Dispatch today publishes an article
that movement is afoot by anti-Reed
Democrats to bring out an indepen-
dent candidate to oppose him at the
November election.
Should this materia1ize, the race for
the senatorial seat would be a three
cornered one.
The Post-Dispatch says half a dozen
conferences have been neId by anti
Reed forces since Breckenridge
Longs defeat became apparent two
days ago. on the face of incomplete
unofficial returns and that the pur-
poses of the conferences have been to
consider the procedure 70 be followed
in the effort to defeat Reed
w. c. T. U. Into 1t.
Jefferson City. Mo. Aug. 5.-AHeg-
ing that Republicans were permitted
indiscriminately to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket in the recent primary, the
w. c. T. u. organization today asked
Attorney General Barrett to make a
sweeping and statewide investiga-
ton of the Democratic senatorial
vote"
The appeal to the attorney general
alleges that practices contrary to law
were permitted by clerks and judges
of election.
1T is the position of the anti-Reed
Democrats that Reed is not the nomi-
nee of the Democratic party" the arti-
Gle continues, that he was nominated
by Republican votes in st. Louis, Kan
sas City and in a few counties, and that
on the Democratic votes cast in the
primary Long really was nominated.
While they profess to see the possi-
bility of an independent candidate
winning the election, they privately
say the main idea is to defeat Reed"
Reed had charged in campaign
speeches that movement was under
way by certain Democrats to defeat
him should he win the nomination.

HE Is IDENTIFIED
Man Giving Name of George
Willis Wanted for Murder.
He Ran Legal Gauntlet in To-
peka a Month Ago.

George Willis, arrested in Kansas
City, Mo-. last week in connection
with the killing of Theodore Van
Treese, grocer, and the robbery of
Joe Howard's cigar store, was posi-
lively identified Friday night by AL
ton H. Skinner, assistant United
States district attorney, as James
Moore, who ran the legal gauntlet in
Topeka a month ago.
Upon receipt of advices from Skin
ner, Capt. Jesse Hill of the Topeka
police department today took up with
County Attorney Veale the matter OF
revoking Moore's parole in the district
court here, where he was sentenced
to ninety days in Jail on a liquor
charge, but allowed to go free under
$1,000 peace bond. Judge George
Whitcomb was out of the city this
morning, but was expected to return
late this afternoon, when the matter
taken up with him. If the parole is
revoked 1t will give the Kansas au-
thorities an opportunity to hold the
man for at least ninety days in case
he is released on bond by the Missouri
wants Parole Revoked.
'In my Judgment the parole granted
him by Judge whitcomb should be
revoked" wrote Mr.. Skinner. "to the
end that he may be held in custody
many crimes. He is a drug addict and
from Investigations made in connec-
ton with other matters am con-
vinced that he is one of the operatives
connected with and part of an extern
siye criminal organization. altho as
vet we have not been able to find
enough on him to make a federal case
against him in the district of kan
saS."
Roy Hubbard of Kansas City, as
sistant attorney general of Kansas,
and Harry Hayward, assistant county
attorney of WyandOtte county. who
came to Topeka to defend Moore
when he was IN trouble here, are once
again representing him before the
Kansas City courts, according to word
received here. 1t was Hubbard and
Hayward who took the matter Up
here with County Attorney Veale with
the result that the latter failed to rec
ommend to Judge whitcomb any
drastic action in regard to Moore.
Judge Whitcomb at the time was so
skeptical that he conditioned Moore S
parole upon a $1,000 peace bond.

William D. Bakers lead of Charles

Hopkins Gains Over Porter.
Richard ]. Hopkins lead over Jus
tice Porter is jumping rapidly as re-
turns come late today from the west
ern counties. He carried practically
all of them. The returns at 8 o'clock
votes as against 7O,96O for Judge
Porter.
There are all sorts of chances for
uncertainty as to the outcome of the
all of the larger counties heard from,
Justice Vests lead has been nibbled
away until he has a bare plurality
over the Clark county man.
Griffith Is Nominated.
Charles B. Griffith's nomination
for attorney general is certain. Tom
D. Smith and John Martin are fewer
than a hundred votes apart for second
place. Griffith has 32,494 votes on
counties reported as against $3.50 for
I Smith and 25,69O for Martin.
W. Y. Morgan is holding up in the
late returns from the outlying pre-
cincts and has failed to yield ground
| to w. r. Stubs, former governor and
runner-up in the 1922 feature event.
Morgan is now leading for the gov
ernorship nomination by a little more
than 1900. 1t is likely that the race
will end with practically this differ
ence between the leading candidates.
Lambertson holds narrow lead over
Tom McNeal for third place.
Ryan Is Gaining.
Frank ]. Ryan's majority over D.
o. McCray for secretary of state is
growing. This afternoon he is out in
front of the Topeka man by 5,9SS.
Jesse w. Miley's plurality in the
race for superintendent of public in
struction is being reduced The west
ern counties thought kindly of Miss
Lorraine Z. Wooster and she picked
up a lot of speed in the western vote
hunt. In a number of counties she
took the lead over both Miley and
Seaman. There is a possibility that
she may edge close to second place,
altho the Topeka man now holds the
position with Miley far out. ahead.
Anthony by Over 5000.
Congressman D. r. Anthony's plu-
rality in the First district has grown
with complete returns from the eight
counties. 1t is likely that the official
count will give him between 5000 and
5000 plurality. He carried all coun-
ties outside of Shawnee.
County commissioners met as can
vassing boards Friday. Official re-
turns will be certified by county clerks
to the office of L. J. Pettijohn, secre-
tary of state. Most of these returns
will reach Topeka next week.
