THE KANSAS OFFICIAL COM
WITH RETURNS FROM 89 COUN
TIES TWO STILL IN DOUBT,
Graves and Porter for 8upreme Court
and Auetln and Brown for State
Printer yet Undlelded.
Topeka, Aug. 12. Official returns
from 89 counties have been received
by the Secretary of State and they still
left two contests in doubt the State
Printer fight and the fight for one
place on the Supreme bench. It Is Im
possible to tell whether 0, B. Graves
or Silas Porter will be the second
member of the supreme' court, or
whether W. 0. Austin or Tom Brown
will be State Printer.
The counties still to bear from are
Allen, Brown, Chautauqua, Cherokee,
Cloud, Dickinson, Jackson, Kingman,
Linn, Ness, Pratt, Reno, Republic
Rush, Trego and Wyandotte. Wyan
dotte and Cherokee counties poll heavy
votes and they may . make radical
changes in these two contests. It is
certain that Wyandotte countx will
give Porter a boost and it is said that
Brown's vote there was greater than
Austins although Cordry carried the
county.;
0 raves led Porter In the 89 counties
by a total of 1,933. Porter's friends
believe that Wyandotte county will
make up this deficiency and that Por
ter and Graves will be on an even
footing after that county la heard
from. In the meanwhlles Gravea Is
expected to receive good pluralities
from the western counties still to be
heard from. Grave's total vote was
41,730. Porter's was 39,787. West, the
leading candidates, was so far In the
lead that no totals were made up on
his vote. '
W. C. Austin Is Still In the lead In
the state printer fight but his lead
has been brought down to 090 and
there is no telling what the remaining
16 counties will do. Austin's total
vote Is 82,950. Tom Brown's total vote
Is 32,200. y Brown expects a good
plurality in Wyandotte county and In
Cherokee county,
But soma ot the
western counties are expected to give
pluralities to Austin. Cordry appears
to be entirely out of the running.

MEXICO W0UL0 ENLIST SUPPORT
Unlike Our Officials President Diaz
Recognizes Msdrlz As Legal
Head of'Niearaguan -Government
,
Washington, Aug. 16. The Mexican
government is planning to make a
public demonstration In favor of the
cause of the Madrti taction of Nicar
agua. The celebration or tne centen
nial of the declaration next month ot
Mexican Independence will be made
the occasion of an ovation to the re
public of Doctor Madrii. This inform
ation is now in the bands of the state
department. ' v'
Ruben Dario will go to Mexico city
as the envoy of Madrls, who is recog
nlsed by .Mexico as the president of
Nicaragua. . The Mexican republic
never has followed the course ot the
United States government, which re
gards both Madris and Estrada as
the heads of de facto governments
in control of separate sections of the
country. . v
Information Just received In Wash
ington points to a definite program
on the part of Mexico for enlisting
support for the Madrls government.
This plan provides for aa especially
cordial reception of Senor Dario. The
Mexican government intends, accord
ing to the most recent information, to
give to the Madrls cause all the pres
tige possible while representatives of
foreign nations are in the capital In re
sponse to the Invitations sent out
months ago.
It is a subject of general knowledge
among Latin-American diplomats that
President Dias favors the Madrls ad
ministration In Nicaragua. This was
made evident laat winter by the ef
forts ot Benor Enrique Creel, former
ambassador to the United States from
Mexico, who came as a special ambas
sador to plead the cause ot Zelaya.
Senor Creel stated his case to both
President Taft and Secretary Knox.
Those acquainted with the attitude
ot Mexico are not surprised to learn
that It Intends to nse Its Influence to
create a pro-Madril sentiment among
the envoys ot other governments dur
ing the centennial celebrations by Ex
tending aa elaborate form of hospital
ity to Senor Dario. . .

proportion to the population as in In
dia. As for suicides there were 17,000
in this country last year, ad Increase
of 50 per cent In seven years.
"Insanity Is undoubtedly the one
great cause, for Insanity itself la in-
creasing at an alarming rate. It la
not generally known that there are
150,000 Insane in the asylums of the
United States. A greater number at

Democrats Give Their View of High
' Cost of Livingi
DIFFER FROM - THE MAJORITY
The Minority Report of the High Cost
of Living Committee Gives Rea- --
sons for Present Con-.-
dltlons. - i
Washington, Aug 16. The Demo
cratic members of the committee on
the high cost of living have put forth
their report taking Issue sharply on
causes as announced by Senator Lodge
and the Republican majority members
who exonerated the tariff and trusts.
Senator Johnston ot Alabama, who
prepared the report for the minority
say the substantial causes. of ad-
; vanced prices are the tariff, the trusts,
combine and monopolies and the in
creased money supply..
' Without Sufficient Data.
"We are without sufficient data," say
the minority, "to apportion the decree
of responsibility among these three
causes, but that the two tint are the
chief malefaotors w have no doubt;
and they are of our own creation or
permlssion.u
The report take up Senator Lodge's
report and answers it in detalL Sena
tor Lodge blame the increased cost
of living on the advene In farm
prices; increased cost ot production
because of higher land value and
wages; increased demand; Immigra
tion; farmers' combinations; over-capitalization
and a higher standard of
living
These are answered by the minority
and generally denied, .' Statistic are
given In refutation. .- ;- -.
i Tariff Adds to the Cost.
As to the tariff the minority rert
says: . ,
Even if no change had been made
the tariff (Dtngley), was already add
ing largely to the cost of living and we
shall Insist that while the tariff was
being 'revised' on the heels of a disas
trous panic, resulting in a large re
duction la wages to laborers and hard
ship to the people generally, and with
the advancing tides ot higher prices
sweeping over the country, the failure
to meet those condition and reduce
these exactions cannot exculpate the
majority (Republicans) from responsi
bility for the distress that baa come
upon the country. When the Payne
Aldrlch tariff bill was under consider
ation the majority stood for an unrea
sonable profit and secured it.
- Methods of the Meat Trust.
The methods of the meat trust
seem to be admirably adapted to tak
ing from the consumer and the pro
ducer the largest amount that the tar
iff will bear. The destruction of lo
cal competitors cannot be Improved
upon."
Senator Ool liver Quoted.
Senator Dolliver tn a speech on June
1) on the rubber trust said:
"Do yon suppose that If we had
known that the rubber industry tn the
Cnited States needs little protection
that a 10 per cent adtaiorem would
have been Increased to 35 when we
were BRking rubber automobile tires
with such profits la Akron, Ohio, that
