FINAL APPEALS
To The VOTERS
ARE MADE TODAY
Tonight Will Mark Close of
Vote Chasing in Kansas.
Voters Will Be Given Two Days
to Think 1t Over.
LITTLE EXCITEMENT is SHOWN
Leaders of Both Parties Are
Confident of Victory Tuesday.
Bitter Fights in Several States
Wet Issue in Missouri.
LITTLE EXCITEMENT is SHOWN
BY A. /. SHULTZ.

Final last hour appeals to the voters
will be dumped into the mail boxes
tonight by tired workers at Republican
and Democrat state headquarters in
Topeka. Tonight Will mark the close
of most of the campaign oratory and
vote chasing. altho home town celebri-
ties will speak in their local communi-
ties Monday night. So far as the real
battle of the year is concerned, it will
be over tonight with two days inter
vening in which the voters may think
it over and return a verdict.
From the standpoint of bitter fight
ing and uncertainty as to results the
battle has been the most intense and
exciting political contest in Kansas in
ten years. But the excitement has
been entirely cOrnered by the cam
paign managers. Among the voters
there has been a cold lack of concern
and positive refusal to express an
opinion Directors at the various
headquarters will go to bed tonight to
dream o. the terrible things which
result because of the apathetic situa-
tion in the state
Both Parties Confident.
Backed by all manner of grape vine
reports from the grass roots managers
are today indulging in enthusiastic
forecasts Leaders of both parties eX-
Tuesday. Republicans with their over
whelming normal majority of 10000
have all the edge on argument. 1t
isn't an easy matter to figure slump
that will eneulf the party when it is
riding with a 10000 lead.
Reports from the big labor centers
and out in the rural district, however.
have been sufficiently disquieting to
worry even the apparently confident
Republican leaders. In spite of the
element of doubt which has resulted
from the campaign the reports show
the Republican majorities in many
places will remain sufficiently near
normal to insure safety for the state
ticket.
Demos Expect Something To Happen.
The Democrats merely expect some-
thing to happen altho they are not
quite sure what the miracle will be
nor how it is to be performed. They
are claiming election of the governor
ship. Judge billiard over Richard j.
Hopkins for supreme court justice;
the secretary of state and congress-
men in the Third and Eighth dis
tricts.
Republicans conceed nothing. They
are arguing that Morgan will be
elected governor by $4,000 or better,
that the state ticket will win with him
and that there is better than an even
chance for Republican success in the
two hotly contested congressional dis
tricts.
Expect Light Vote.

light, according - present indications

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. A. The
robbery of a St. Louis-San Francisco
mail train at Seventy-six. Mo, early
Friday, in which Jack Kennedy and
Harvey Logan, two of the bandits,
were slain by posse of railroad Of
ficers and postal inspectors, was the
nineteenth train robbery in which
Kennedy claimed to have partici
pated, according to Ed Munroe, Frisco
railroad special agent, leader of the
posse.
From the time that Kennedy and
Logan left Memphis, ten days ago, in
the automobile in which they planned
to escape after the robbery, Munroe
said he had been almost within speak
ing distance of the pair every moment
of the time.
Knew Time Had Come.
ION the morning before the rob-
berry, 1 watched them cleaning their
guns" Munroe said. When they left
for Seventy-six we knew the time had
come to act. We gave them plenty of
time. and then followed them. We
threw up a little breastwork of rock
at a point we knew they would have
to pass in getting back to their car,
and then waited.
when they slowed the engine
down at the bridge at Wittenberg.
Kennedy, an old engineer. was at the
throttle. AS they jumped Kennedy
threw the throttle wide open. AS they
approached the spot where we were
waiting I yelled to them to throw up
their hands. Logan fired in reply.
Then the ten men turned loose their
shotguns. Both bandits were killed
almost instantly
