Excellent Speeches Characterize

Called Out. .
About 200 People Attend 18th
- Annual Dinner.
Kansas Republicans turned out last
night in the teeth of a blizzard and
made the eighteenth annual banquet
of the Kansas Day club a success in
spite of the elements. The attend
ance, -while not up to that of some
previous years, was sufficiently large
to inspire the speakers to their best
efforts, there being about two hun
dred present. The programme was
made up from home talent exclusive
ly, but was none the worse on that ac
count. At least two new stars were
discovered by the astronomers pres
ent in the person, of Dr. J. B. Dykes
of Lebanon and B. H. Grigsby of Cha
riute. E. E. Glasscock of Lamed had
a brilliant speech, but a bad cold
prevented him from doing Justice to
himself. The college boys, Brown of
Baker and Hull of K. TJ., had elo
quent addresses and their delivery
was pleasing.
- S. B. Haskins, the retiring presi
dent, made a speech which was
warmly received, while W. D. Vance
of Belieview, the title of whose ad
dress was "The Battle, spoke with
fire and feeling on that lively subject.
The Baker university quartette fur
nished music between the courses.
They made such a hit that they had
to respond to many encores.
The new banquet hall of the
Masons is a good one. Nine hundred
guests can be accommodated there.
The menu was good and there was
plenty of it.
At the close of the regular pro
gramme Frank P. MacLennan, who
was present at the organization of the
club seventeen years ago, and who has
attended every one of the annual ban
quets since, moved that President Has
kins be directed by the club to send a
telegram to Harry W. Frost, Penobscot
building, Detroit, Michigan, voicing the
greetings and best wishes for the con
tinued prosperity and happiness of the
club's founder.
The motion was seconded by E. F.
Caldwell of Lawrence and Charles
Klrtland of Salina, who were the only
other members present who had at
tended all the yearly gatherings.
In making the motion the mover gave
a few reminiscences, saying that the
Kansas Day club was the idea of Mr.
Frost; that he had issued the call for
the first meeting, was its first presi
dent, and although he had been gone
from Kansas many years, always kept
a warm spot in his heart for the state
and her people and was always pleased
to learn of the continued enthusiasm
and interest manifested in the club he
started on January 29, 1892; remarking
that Mr. Frost, the newer members of
the organization would be pleased to
learn, was one of the most prosperous
citizens of Detroit.
"Lest we forget," said the maker of
the motion, "I am presenting this to
night with the suggestion that there be
a rising vote."
The -vote was responded to with
great enthusiasm, the toastmaster call
ing first for a vote from those who had
been present at all the gatherings
when three arose; second, a vole of
those who had attended the first meet
ing and were there last night, where
upon seven responded; third, a vote
from all present, when all stood up as
the last act of the eighteenth annual
gathering of the organization.
After the regular programme had
been finished the crowd called for
Senator Bristow. The tall man from
Salina was in a reminiscent mood
and told of the early days in Kansas.
He had such a love for the state and
Its early trials and glories that he ac
tually welcomed the blizzard that was
howling outside. He said it reminded
him of old times in Kansas.
Governor Stubbs was next called on
and he responded with a regular old
fashioned Methodist camp meeting ex
perience. His speech was full of ginger
and it made a big hit with the crowd.
The governor declared that it was a
great treat to him to attend these Kan
sas Day banquets and hear the young
Republicans talk. He said that "The
speeches tonight have paralyzed me
with their eloquence."
Attorney General Jackson was also
prevailed upon to say a few words. He
received an ovation when he arose to
speak and his wise and witty talk was
received with satisfaction "by the de
lighted guests.
Speaker J. ST. Dolley, speaker of the
house of representatives was called
from his place at one of the tables to
apeak. Mr. Dolley made one of his
characteristic, straight-from-the-shoul-der
talks the kind that Kansans like
to hear in these days of real reform.
President Haskins' Address.
S. B. Haskins of Olathe, retiring
president of the club, summed up his
speech on "Political Independence"
as follows:
"Everything which tends to weak
en or demoralize party organization.
tends to weaken and demoralize
' efficiency in governmental affairs.
and every effort toward compelling
parties to subserve the public will,
establishing their rights, defining
their duties, controlling their con
duct, is a step in advance. The
political party Is the link between the
citizen and the state and must not be
broken.
"I am proud to be the representa
tive of a club which has furnished
Kansas with her entire quota of state
officials, a club on whose roll can be
found the name of every member of
the Kansas delegation to our national
congress; a club that decided that
there was an insufficient number of

policies for a like term."
Brown Speaks of Kansas.
O. W. Brown of . Johnson county
who responded to the toast. "Kan
sas, paid the following tribute to
state:
"All hail then to Kansas with her
one and one-half million God-fearing
liverty-loving people, a people whose
sufferings and sacrifices have reared
this state of material wealth and
Christian civilization, within whose
borders freedom shines with a new
light, and whose soil has been con
secrated to the cause of humanity.

night to that party whose birth was
coincident with her own and to whom
she owes her growth and happiness.

people learn the lesson of hieh re

achievement. ,May her statesmen be
imbued with a 'steadfast incor
ruptibility,' a far-seeing vision, and
eye single to the glory of the state.
May we do what in us lies to make
the present and the future of our
state worthy of its tragic and glorious
past.
Hull on the College Man.
O. C. Hull of El Dorado, speaking of
The College' Man in Politics." declared
that "In urging the systematic study
of political parties and a definite stand
regarding them, I have in mind not
only the welfare of the state and the
best interests of the young man, but
also the future hope of the Republican
party. She must look to college men
for - her recruits, and 'there are many
reasons why she appeals so strongly to
them, and enlists so much of their sup
port. The history of the conception
and growth of the Republican party is
a source of great pride and exultation;
but more important still is the fact
that her foundation principles are built
upon reason and justice. Her course is
logical and consistent."
Dykes' the Shortest Address.
J. B. Dykes of Lebanon had the
shortest address of the evening, speak
ing from the subject. "Free Govern
ment," but his eloquence stirred the
guests to the heart. The Sixth district
man has a silver tongue. He said in
part:
'When the intelligent American citi
zen reads the history of this nation.
and realizes the blood that has been
shed and the lives that have been laid
down to secure and perpetuate freedom
to every American citizen, a feeling of
love and pride for his countrv. makes
him rejoice, that he lives in a country.
victorious in her early struggles for
liberty and freedom, that he lives in a
country which is the land of hope and
sunshine to those who dream of the
blessings of liberty, the comforts of
home and the joys of heaven.
If a man loves his country he will
work to build it up and if necessary
fight to protect it. The state and na
tion must have citizens to protect and
manage their public affairs. If the
citizens chosen for this purpose are In
telligent, honest and patriotic the in
terests of the individual citizen and
the government will not suffer. Other
wise, the old ship of state will be
driven upon the rocks and the trusts
will absorb the substance of the peo
ple. The greatest Influence behind a free
government in time of peace Is an hon
est and incorruptible press. The
strongest force behind a free govern
ment in time of war is a loyal and
patriotic citizenship."
Glasscock Raps Iloeli.
E. E. Glasscock of Lamed said in
part on the subject of "Party Fealty:"
Our people are easy and can oiten
be buncoed by those in whom they
have reposed confidence; but they are
sure to get right in the end; and it is
impossible to fool all, or even a work
ing majority of them for a period
equal to two terms of a governor of
Kansas. While, as in the days of
Ulysses of old, they are prone to lis
ten to the song of the siren, and are
often misled thereby, no demagogue,
nor party policy, based upon dema
gogism has ever been able to main
tain ascendency for a decade. The
people have learned the connection
between the educator and the bunco
steerer, and to look for gold bricks in
all packages Iabled 'Reform. When
a square deal is advertised they expect
to see a cold deck raised.
"When the breezes from the prair
ies bring this murmur from the peo
ple:

The saddest are these, we known
we're stung.
"Attention to the other things the
wild waves are saying is indicated.
With the established record of the
loss of eighty-four thousand votes in
the short space of two years, by one
of our most conspicuous leaders, and
that, even before the fact that he had
repudiated a contribution to his own
campaign fund was known to the vot
ers." Vance on Battle of Ballots.
W. D. Vance of Republic county
spoke of "The Battle," and in the
course of his address said:
"Thus on and on the armies move
and 'Forward March' is the com
mand, and nearer comes the final
charge. Formations planned have
come to naught; the best of plans not
realized, but where there's life there's
hope and so, one word is all that still

weapon of the hosts and mighty is the
sting where once it falls. The battle
wages all day long and every foe is
numbered in the strife; opposing
forces strike and then fall back, and

Fierce has been the combat, and many
the feats of daring service rendered.
The din and clamor of the battle be
gins to fall and the flag of truce runs
up tne height and floats aloft and an

gins to count the loss, and hence the
roll is called, and in the silence of the
night, afar and near we hear the voice
of millions of our race cry out: 'Bill

Grigsby and Independent Voter.
Bruce H. Grigsby. of Chanute. talked
about "The Independent Voter" for
awnne ana then turned to his own
party with the following words:
"As party men, gentlemen, we- must
strengthen our party, act always for
those principles in which we believe
with a profound sense of our obliga
tions and with due regard to party
fealty. And while disaster and failure
may attend us at times still the time
will come when from the crowning
heights of success we can contemplate
the whole past and smile at the sor
rows that have been ours and realize
that all has been for the best in the
working out of the common good.
"Our great party leaders have blazed
a perfect trail through the forest of po
litical tribulations. It is for us to
maintain those splendid precedents, and
If we would assure ourselves of suc
cess in the days to come we cannot lie
supinely on our backs dreaming of an
cient glories. It is for us to maintain
the party's prestige and with faith in
her, with faith in her principles, we
can successfully cope with the prob
lems of the . future and maintain
through the ages to come the great
ness that the Republican party has al
ready achieved."
At the business meeting of the club,
held in the supreme court rooms of the
state house during the afternoon, the

LAST DAY OF MIDWINTER
Doors of Big Show Will Close for
Good Tonight.
Today is the closing day of the Mid
winter. If cold weather is any hand
icay to Young America it isn't evi
dent at the exposition this afternoon,
for there is a greater crowd of
"younguns" at the children's matinee
this afternoon than there was last
Saturday when every element of the
weather was in favor of a big atten
dance. The children like the Mid
winter and have been looking for
ward all week to the events this af
ternoon. One of the features is the
reception tendered to little Silver
plume, the little girl singer, who looks
more like a doll than a human being.
In many ways the present ex
position has been the most success
ful in the history of this show. Un
less the two last days of the ex
position suffer in attendance from the
cold weather the attendance will be
greater than at any previous time.
Those who had booths at the ex
position seem to be better satisfied
than usual. They claim to have come
in contact with a greater crowd than
ever before.
The last show will be held tonight.
And this will be the last opportunity
to see five big acts, some of the best
ever seen in Topeka for fifteen cents.
The bill consists of Lessik and Anita,
as headliners; Silver Plume, the
Arisato family, Douglass and Doug
less, and the Murdos, every one a
high class act and which costs Man
ager Bainter a big sum of money.

Senate Finds Way Out of Teager-
Ait man Controrersy.
Holds That the Charges Should
Be More Specific.
VOTE IS A PARTY ONE
Only a Single Republican Would
Go on With Contest.
An Adjournment Is Taken Till
Monday.
After hearing the arguments of coun
sel for the contestor and contestee in
the Yeager-Aikman case from the
Thirteenth judicial district, late Friday
afternoon, the senate voted to adopt
Senator Stavely's resolution and Mr.
Yeager will be obliged to set forth
more specifically his allegations or the
senate will proceed no further with the
case. It has been stated by friends of
the contestor that he cannot present
charges any more definite than he has
already presented in his first statement.
If this should prove the case Judge
Aikman will probably be undisturbed
in the position of judge of the Thir
teenth judicial district.
In his argument to the senate yester
day Major A. M. Harvey, counsel for
N. A. Yeager, declared that his client
had complied with the law in bringing
the contest and he held that his allega
tions, claiming that there were mis
takes in counting of ballots in certain
precincts were sufficiently definite for
Judge Aikman to make answer to. He
said that Aikman had been declared
elected by a majority of 18 votes. No
charges of fraud or corruption were
made. Major Harvey cited decisions
of courts, in support of his contentions.
John Dawson and E. D. McKeever
appeared as attorneys for Judge Aik
man. Mr. Dawson held that the law
applying to the case required that
Yeager should have served notice of
contest on Judge Aikman thirty days
arter tne aeclaration of the canvassing
board, whereas the notice had been
served only a few days ago. He said
there are 91 "long-winded" challenges
of votes in Yeager's charges, but that
the 91 charges merely set forth that in
the various precincts so many votes
were incorrectly counted for Aikman
or so many in favor of Yeager were
thrown out, but no reasons are stated
why this was done. The charges, he
said, were not sufficient to put the
contestee on his notice at all and he
could not defend. The entire state
ment of the contestor, Mr. Dawson de
clared. Is made . up entirely of con
clusions of law, and not of allegations
of facts. General allegations of errors,
according to authorities quoted, are not
enough to warrant the ordering of a re
count of ballots. : .
Attorney McKeever argued along the
same line and urged that conclusions of
law are not a sufficient basis for or
dering a recount of ballots.
Major Harvey In his closing re
marks, said that his client charged no
fraud or corruption, and did not claim
there were any illegal votes, but he did
claim there had been a mistake in
counting the ballots in several pre
cincts. This charge was based upon
reports of Mr. Yeager's friends from
over the counties in the district. He
declared that all the votes can be
counted In ten days. With regard to
Aikman having sufficient notice, Mr.
McKeever declared that "he had suffi
cient notice even before the proceed
ings were brought to hire several good
lawyers to defend him." He argued
that the ballots are the best evidence
and he cited the case of Riggs vs.
Smart, wherein general allegations
were considered explicit enough for
the senate to hear the contest.
At the conclusion of the arguments
Senator Robertson of the minority
moved that the Stavely resolution be
referred to the committee on elections
with authority to pass upon it and re
port to the senate.
Those voting in favor of this motion
were Hodges. Anderson, Roberston,
Milton and Cooke, all the minority
members present, and Senator Stewart
of the majority. The remainder of the
majority voted against the motion and
it was lost.
. The question recurring to the senate
was upon the adoption of Senator
Stavely's resolution. Senator Hamil
ton said that when boiled down, the
single point to the controversy in his
opinion was that the names of the il
legal voters should be set forth. In
this matter, he said, it is the Republi
can party on trial, as well as Judge
Aikman. and he believed the contes
tor should be given an opportunity to
be heard, but he did believe he should
show proper grounds for taking up the
time of the senate and incurring the
expense of contest.
Senator Ganse declared that he
wanted to see fair play. "But I regret
very much," said he, "that the senator
from Shawnee has referred to this
case as a matter of politics depending
upon the vote of the majority. The
proposition is a plain one. A man is
allowed to come into court for justice,
but he is required to state his grounds.
If they are good . and sufficient the
cause may be heard."
Senator Ganse did: not believe this
had been done by Mr. Yeager and he
characterized the contest as a "fishing
expedition." "T;he statutes declare,"
he said, "that, the contestor must
specify the particular points on which
he intends to reply, and Mr. Yeager
merely says 'I got . more votes than
Judge Aikman in this or that pre
cinct.! It is presumed that the judges
of election knew their duty and did it.
The merits of this case are not the
controversy before the senate and the
contestor must Jiot take up the time
of the senate or cause the state ex
pense unless he.has grounds to justify
such proceedings."
When put to a vote the Stavely reso
lution was adopted, only the minority
members and Senator Hamilton voting
against it. -
The text of Senator Stavely's resolu
tion is as' follows:
"Resolved by the senate of the state
of Kansas, that in the matter of a con
test of K. A. Yeager, contestor. vs. G.
P. Aikman. contestee, that no sub
poenas be issued under senate resolu
tion No. 20, and if any have been is
sued and not yet served that they be
recalled and no further proceedings be
had under said resolution until the
said contestor. N. A. Yeager, shall set
out more definitely, specifically and wit"
more certainty the reasons for said
contest in such way and under such
rules and regulations as the committee
on elections may hereinafter pre
scribe." The senate has" adjourned until 4 p.
m. next Mondays
The following bills have been intro
duced in the senate:

"BRICK" OWENS IV TOPEKA.
Popular X'inpire Now Travels With a

When the Raymond Wells Stock com
pany opens at the Majestic theater next
week, there will be a new 'ticket taker
at the door, who will be no less a per
sonage than Clarence B. Owens, better
known as "Brick" Owens, the umpire
who rewntlv turned down a Dertn in
the National League to accept a more
remunerative one in the American
sociation. This act is without a pre

of the city, up the hill to Highland
Park, and down the Shunganunga
through all Parkdale. Owens travels
