Kansas Progressives to Ban
qnet at Independence. ,
Governor Stubbs and Arthur
Capper Will Be There.
THOMPSON'S CAMPAIGN COST
Democrat Senator-Elect Spent
$5,953 in Two Campaigns.
King of Cowley and Lyon of
Lincoln Seek Presiding Jobs.
Kansas Progressive leaders will ban
quet at Independence tonight and lay
plans for a state wide organization of
the new party. This is the first meet
ing of the new party members to be
held in Kansas. William Allen White,
national committeeman for. the Pro
gressive party In this state, will prob
ably "preside at the feast.
Both Governor Stubbs and Arthur
Capper will attend tonight's banquet
of Bull Moose leaders. Early this
week Governor Stubbs abandoned his
plans to attend the feast, but last night
decided to attend the meeting. Ar
thur Capper, Republican nominee for
governor in the recent election, left
this morning for Independence. Henry
J. Allen of Wichita had been booked
for a speech before the Kansas Bull
Moose ra. but will be unrble to attend
the meeting. He left this week for
Washington, where he will report the
present session of congress both for
his own paper', the Wichita Beacon,
and for the Kansas City Star.
Following the Independence gather
ing tonight, the Progressives plan to
lmnquet in Lawrence December 12.
Their first big annual feed will be
held in Topeka Lincoln's birthday,
February 12. That is the date for the
Progressive feasts in all states where
the Bull Moosers have planned to
launch their new political movement.
After reciting the dates of the com
ing Progressive dinner, William Allen
White in his Emporia Gazette this
week remarked: "If the Progressive
arty Js dead, the hearse driver seems
to be having considerable trouble get
ting the remains to the cemetery."
And so, with a firm belief that their
party is in the ascendency, the faith
fuls "in the new cause will meet tonight
In Independence to re-affirm their al
legiance to the cause and discuss the
advisability of tickets in 1914.
Willard E. Lyon, Democrat, of Lin
coln county, is a candidate for speaker
of the next house. Mr. Lyon is 37
vears old. He is a native of Wiscon
sin, and came to Lincoln county in
1876. He knows all about the hard
ships of the frontier, and at the age
of six years he began herding cattle
on a Texas pony. He has worked on
a farm, as well as worked his way
through several schools. After he at
tended the schools of Lincoln he went
to the State Normal at Emporia,
where he graduated in 1900, and was
valedictorian in a class of 106, the
highest honors.

If Senator L. P. King, of Winfield,
lives to serve out his term of four
years in the state senate to which he
has Just been elected, he will round out
sixty-two years' residence in Kansas.
Twenty-four years of that time will
have been spent in the service of his
state as a member of the legislature.
No other citizen of Kansas has to his
credit so long- a record in the public
service, and few can point to one that
has been so useful in shaping the legis
lation or the building of the state. -
Lu P. King. Senator-elect From Cow
ley County, Veteran Legislator and
Candidate for President Pro Tem.
Senator-elect King was 4 years old
when his parents, in 1854, brought him
from Washington county, Illinois, his
birthplace, to Doniphan county. In
1863 he and his younger brother drove
a yoke of oxen across the plains 500
miles, taking the family, consisting of
mother and five children, to Fort Larl
mie, Wyo., to Join their father who was
a soldier in the Eleventh Ohio volun
teer cavalry and stationed at that
point. His father was killed in 1863.
The young fellow remained with the
regiment until the spring of 1865, being
employed in the quartermaster's de
partment as clerk and errand boy, re
turning to Doniphan county, where he
resided until lSil, then moving to cow
ley county, and was elected to the
house of representatives in 1884, and re
elected in 1886, serving four years in
that body. Following this service in
the house, he was elected to the senate
four consecutive times, making a con
tinuous service in the Kansas legisla
ture of twenty years, longer than any
other Kansan ever served.
Senator King was president pro tem
of the senate four years, and he is
being urged for this position the com
ing session. In the joint convention of
the legislature of 189o, he received the
full vote of the People's ' party for
United States senator. He was again a
candidate for Unitrd States senator in
1897, and received nearly enough votes
in the first session of his party's caucus
to- nominate him.
King was permanent chairman of the
Populist state convention in 1898, chair
man of the railroad committee of the
senate the same year, and vice presi
dent of the World's Fair commission at
Chicago in 1893. He retired from the
banking business in Winfield last
August.
In a statement of his campaign ex
penses filed this week Judge William
H. Thompson, United States senator
elect, shows that he spent for all pur
poses during the primary and elec
tion campaign a total of $5, !.?. 12, of
which amount $3,560.75 was contribut
ed to his campaign fund by the state
and national Democratic committees
and by personal friends. His state
ment in full gives a list of all con
tributors in amounts of $1 and more
and likewise covered in detail the ex
penses of the campaign.
The principal items of expense cov
ered in the statement include tl.S62.40
for printing, J805.42 for - newspaper
advertising, $1,040.50 postage, cleri
cal hire, $725.00; telephone and tele
graph, $95; personal expenses, hotel
bills, railroad fare, livery and hack,
$1,085.25. Of this total campaign ex
pense of $5,953.12, Judge Thompson
spent from his personal acount $2,
392.37. His contributions, included
$2,500 from the Democratic state
committee, $572 from the national
committee, and $488.75 from personal
friends.
Under the federal law, these entire
contributions must not necessarily be
made public. But the Kansas man ac
counts for every penny received and
expended, he declares. The federal
law exempts the following items:
"Money expended by any such can
didate to meet and discharge any as
sessment, fee or charge made or levied
upon candidates, or for his necessary
personal expenses, incurred for him
self alone, for traveling and subsis
tence, stationery and postage, writing
or printing, (other than in newspa
pers) and distributing letters, circulars
and posters, and for telegraph and tel
ephone service, shall not be regarded
as an expenditure within the mean
ing of this section, and shall not be
considered any part of the sum fixed
as the limit of expense and need not
be shown in the statements required
to be filed.''
The federal law limits the campaign
expenditures of congressional candi
dates to $5,000 and the expenditures
of United States senatorial candidates
to $10,000. In his recent campaign,
Judge Thompson spent a little more
than one-half of the total amount al
lowed by law.
Representative J. A. Mahurin of
Coffey county, will work for the elec
tion of Judge Thompson to the United
States senate. Mahurin, who is a
Democrat, urges Thompson's oppon
ents to come out in the open where
they can be viewed by the members
of the coming legislature. Not only
does Mahurin deny that Thompson is
disqualified for the senate, but de
clares that any attempt to block his
election in the coming legislature will
be a direct effort 'to defeat the vote
and will of the Kansas voters in the
recent election.
"Those people who under the anony
mous title of 'The Good Government
League are trying to stir up trouble
and defeat the voice of the people,"
says Mahurin in a letter to the State
Journal, "had better shut up shop and
quit their wild deception or come out
hi the open so we can see who they
are as well as hear them."
Mahurin is a Democrat. He was re
elected as a member of the house from
Coffey county in the recent election.
George E. Tucker, of Eureka, for
mer state senator from the Greenwood
Lyon county district, believes there is
a strong probability that there will be
three parties in the fight in Kansas in
the 1914 campaign. For that reason
Tucker does not believe that the Den-
oil
' ocrats can be defeated in the next
, election.
j "There is grave danger," said Tuck
I er while in Topeka today, "that the
Republican party in Kansas cannot
harmonize its differences and that
there will be three separate parties in
the field in 1914. That means that it
will be practically impossible for either
faction to win."
Tucker is chairman of the Republi
can committee in his county. He was
for six years a member of the legis
lature from his district and in 1908 op
posed J. M. Miller for the congression
al nomination in the Fourth district.
SEE REAL SCRAP
T. A. A. Members Watch Eight
Hounds of Good Boxing.
Willie Wolff and Borden in Vo
Decision Go.
Members of the newly organized To
peka A.thletic association saw eight
rounds of savage boxing at the smoker
held last night in the club's rooms at
420 Kansas avenue. Willie Wolff and
Cecil Borden put on the niftiest scrap
seen here since the days of the old T.
A. A. It was a no decision affair
with Wolff having slightly the better
of the go. Before this bout Lea Ken
nedy, a law student at Washburn and
"Spike" Sullivan, a real scrapper, put
on a three round go in which the fea
ture was Sullivan's ability to land al
most at will and Kennedy's gameness
in taking all the punishment offered
' and going back for more.
Borden and Wolff put , on anything
but a ladylike exhibition. They swung
and jabbed at each other in a true
pugilistic manner and each man drew
biood. Wolff drew it first and more
often. He also scored the only knock
down, and a knockout seemed immi
nent. Borden showed stronger in the
seventh round when he really carried
the fight to his opponent. He had a
shade in the last round although Wolff
landed the most blows. Wolff then
did most of the clinching and seemed
to be working for a rest. Borden had
a chance to even the bout in this
round by continuing his work begun ir
the seventh when he carried the fight
to Wolff. But instead he waited for
Wolff to bore In. Then he waited for
him to be pushed away by the referee,
"Bob" Kerns.
Hard Left Opens Fight.
They shook hands in the first rounc
and Wolff opened hostilities by landing
a hard left on Borden's Jaw. There,
was plenty of fighting from that mo
ment. The men exchanged body and
head blows in rapid succession. The
round ended with Borden apparently
suffering for wind and Wolff agres
sive. It was Wolff's round.
In the second Borden uncovered more
stuff, forcing some of the fighting. He
opened the round by a wallop to Wolff's
wind which he followed by rights and
lefts to the face. They mixed it and
at the end of the round the going
seemed even. Borden's round by a
shade.
In the third round Wolff scored the
only knockdown of the fight with a
hard left swing to the temple. Bor
den went all the way down but was
up to his knees in three- seconds. He
took the count of eight. Wolff rush
ed in and staggered him agaTif With a
couple of punches on the chin as the
bell rang.
Wolff slipped as he encountered a jab
in the wind, and went to his knee, but
was up before the referee started to
count. Wolff drew blood from Borden's
nose, the latter working for his op
ponent's wind. Borden cut Wolff's
shoulder with a glancing blow. Wolff's
round.
In the fifth round Wolff showed to
good advantage. Time after time he
rocked Borden's head with lefts and
rights to the face. He again started
the blood from Borden's nose. In re
turn, he got a number of hard jabs in
the wind and face. All Wolff's.
In the sixth, Wolff made the best
showing during the fight. His first
blow started blood from 3orden's nose.
He hammered Borden's nose at will,
apparently having solved the peculiar
style of defense of the Novelty theater
scrapper. His blows rained in on
Borden in a perfect stream, but as the
round ended, they seemed to lack the
steam which was behind them earlier
in the fight. It was easily Wolff's
round.
Borden Starts in Seventh.
Borden started the seventh round
with a rush. He landed a hard swing
to the face on the first try, and a sec
ond later, sent in an uppercut that
drew a stream of blood from Wolff's
nose. He carried the fight all the way
In this round, missing many uppercuts
and landing enough to keep Wolff
bleeding. Borden's round by a large
margin.
In the eighth round, Borden seemed
to be tired from previous efforts, while
Wolff was plainly weakened. Wolff
landed the most blows, but went into a
clinch after every one of them. Borden
waited for the fight to be brought to
him. Wolff was still pounding at
Borden's face, then hanging weakly on
his shoulder when the gong sounded.
The Sullivan-Kennedy go was en
tertaining. Kennedy was outclassed
from the beginning. He took a lot
of savage punishment, although Sul
livan fought only enough to show the
crowd that he knew how. Kennedy
kept it up gamely, knowing that he
was no match for his opponent.- He
followed every opening and not once
did he stop after having been rocked
from head to feet by a Sullivan smash.
Sullivan, on the other hand, did not
try to take advantage of his out
classed opponent The crowd cheered
both men several times during the
three rounds.
Two negroes. Kid Stearns and Her
man Bryan, put on what was to have
been three rounds. Stearns got a
hard one in the -nose and the bout
ended in the second , round with
Stearns' declaration that "Dat otha
niggah was too heavy."
Taylor and Gregg, two white boys,
did a three round stunt early in the
evening.
At the election of officers Charles
Pope was elected president,. W. F.
Lake treasurer and William Lindsay
secretary.
Deputies from the sheriffs office
sat at the ringside to see that the
law was not violated. Only two sug
gestions were made and they were
qu.ickly complied with. One was that
the gloves be weighed so. that there
be no doubt about their being eight
ounce pillows. This was done. After
Borden's knockdown Deputy Joe Ross
suggested that no knockouts be put on
and the boxers were cautioned by the
referee.
Arrangements for a match between
Jack Woods and Spike Sullivan arter
December 10 are being made.

Opinion as to the probable statues of
Southern Pacific in the dissolution of the
Harnman system seemed to have changed
over , night and a rather eager early de
mand lifted the stock 2 points. Other
stocks also advanced. The improvement,
however, ' was checked when the market
encountered the flood of liquidation and
short selling of American Can. The com
mon stock broke to 33 and the preferred
to 119i. Sharp losses were recorded in
the remainder of the list. Union Pacifio,
Reading, St.' Paul, Steel, Amalgamated
and Lehigh lost 1 to 2 points and Smelt
ing 3. ' .
Trading in stocks was active at the open
ing of .the market today and price
changes were irregular. Southern Pacific
was in demand and rose 1 on the first
few transactions. Union pacific showed
some heaviness at the outset but quickly
made up its loss. Changes elsewhere were
small with a majority of declines. Mexi
can Petroleum developed exceptional
strength with gains of a point each.
The market turned defiinrely upward
for a short time with Reading leading
the advance. American Can rose to 37
but broke violently to 34 on the pre
ferred division anonuncement. The pre
ferred stock was restored to its old 7
per cent rate but the payment of only VL
of 1 per cent towards liquidating the
accumulated dividend of 33 per cent was
disappointing. This stock slumped from
122 to 119H-

Is It
Possible
that you
have never
tried WESTON
Bread?
If you have been one who has
hated to break away from
home-made bread, you should
try Weston, one anyway. You'll
like it and you'll agree that you
have been toiling unnecessarily
in doing the weekly baking. Or
der a- loaf in the morning and
see.

I Asked a
Piano Tuner
"la it not true that the ton. qual
ity of a good piano is materially im
paired by the addition of a player
mechanism T"
'"Xo," he replied. "ETery piano
requires systematic tuning, ton. and
action regulating. The addition of a
player action does not alter this. As
a matter of fact player touch cannot
be told from that of the human per
former, and is even more delicate.
Furthermore, pianos that ar. never
used deteriorate much faster than
those that ar. played upon daily.
For th. same reason a Jeweler keeps
his clocks and fin. watch movements
funning."
"Ar. they not constantly out of
order T" I asked.
"At the present time I should ssy
that they give no more trouble thsn
a good chronometer V he replied.
'Take th. Kimball Acmelodio
Flayer Piano. Its accessibility Is on.
of its most valuable features both to
the tuner and owner. The entire player
action can b. removed in less than a
minute t their flexible metal tubing,
is indestructible ; their composite
valves never swell, warp or shrink; it
contains fewer working parts and its
ease and simplicity of operation
make it, to my mind, the most desir
able player piano on the market."
The Kimball Acmelodie Player
Pians has all th. essentials for repro
ducing hand-played music
This instrument plays the full
scale, 88 notes plays Kimball or
any 88-note roll full, round, rich,
mellow tone, selected materials, best
. workmanship, roll-guiding device,
Acmelodie soloist, ten exclusive im
provements, music roll library priv
ileges. We will take your "never-played"
piaao in part payment.
