Wilson to Rean ilia Message.
Washington, Nov. 14. President
Wilson announced he would read In
person his first annual message to
congress.
Washington, Nov.' 19. The ' plan
of Democratic members of congress
to adjourn the extra session by next
Saturday, or Tuesday at the latest,
in order to allow members to make
mileage raid on tbe treasury to
tbe amount. of 9226,000, Is up in
the air. No two Democrats of eith
er house have the same idea on the
subject.
While the great majority of the
Democrats want their mileage al
lowance, they fear a country-wide
criticism of the plan to end' the
session at a time when the Mexican
situation is grave and the calendars
of both houses are congested with
public business which has, to date,
failed of enactment.
Despite denials -from Democratic
leaders ln close touch with the white
house, it Is known the ., president
has been consulted on adjournment
and that as late as yesterday he
gave 'his consent to the plan. Mem
bers irom the west and south are
among those most eager that con
gress quit. Those living ln the' far
west have as much as . 91200 to
their credit -

. Topeka, Nov. 14. Progressive
party leaders from every county In
Kansas are coming to Topeka Thurs
day, November 20 to talk over their
plans for the 1914 campaign, ac
cording to announcement made ln
Wichita last night by William Allen
White, Progressive national com
mitteeman for Kansas. The 1914
campaign will be .thoroughly out
lined at the Topeka meeting, White
says, and it Is probable that an
nouncement of a full set of candi
dates for state and congressional
offices will be made at the meeting.
As for the state and congressional
tickets, the Progressives 'plan to of
fer candidates for every office. They
have even agreed that they will op
pose State Treasurer Earl Akert,
who fought and bled for the Roose
velt cause" last' year bu't' Vas refused
to leave the Republican party. J. H.
Livermore of Olathe, a reformed
Democrat, will probably be Akers'
opponent
Lieutenant Governor Sheffield
Ingalls of Atchison will most prob
ably be the Progressive gubernator
ial candidate. He has declared flat
ly for the new party and recently
campaigned in New Jersey ln be
half of Progressive gubernatorial
and congressional candidates.
Each congressional district, White)
contends, will be the scene, of
battle with the Progressive rparty
fighting for, first place. J. L. Brady
baa already declared' his' candidacy
for congress on the Progressive
ticket in he Second district and it
is understood that George E. Tucker
will be the Progressive candidate in
the Fourth. Usless Senator Brlstow
should return to the ' Republican
party and Murdock crowded into the
United States senatorial race, the
Wichita editor will seek reelection
to congress as a Progreeslve, It is
claimed.' Some definite ' statement
as to the attitude which Senator
Brlstow will assume, will probably
be made by White at the Topeka
gathering. White has always con
tended that Brlstow would be a
candidate on the Progressive ticket
and would make his announcement
"when the time comes."
The Topeka conference will be
presided over by V. S. Sartin ' of
Kansas City, state chairman of the.
Progressive party.
TRITCH RETAINS RIGHT
TO HOLD CLAIM NO. 1
Moberly, Mo., Nov. 14. Marvin
Tritch, winner of first choice in the
North Platte government reserva
tion land drawing two weeks ago,
denies that he has been disqualified
and will lose his claim. Tritch says
he never exercised his homestead
rights and that probably he has been
confused with his father, N. M.
Tritch of Moberly, who homesteaded
a claim several years ago.
With the - reported disqualification
of Tritch and the holder of claim
No. 2, It was supposed that Mrs.
Huson of this city became bolder of
claim No. 2, instead of 4, by the
