HELP BUILD THE LINE Towards Scott by Carrying It North From Here to Scott Exchange Line Johnson Will Help In North Part. In view of the piece in Tha Telegram a few days ago, referring to the need of a telephone line from here to Scott. J. V. Killion.

who runs the Garden City-Eminence toll-line, comes forward with a suggestion that he says will afford relief. In a letter to The Telegram Mr. Killion sugests that, if the farmers between Garden City and Scott want better service, stock can be taken in the Peoples Mutual linq. sufficient to construct and extend th? line from the northwest corner of section 17-22-32 a distance of thirteen miles due north of Garden City to a connection with the Scott line. Mr.

Killion says In his letter: have a good line, the best in the counry, except the long distance; we have a party and toll wire, and a main line 33 miles long. All this is paid for, and we are out of debt. We have good service at cost. The peo-p'e further north in Finney county can have the same kind of a line and the same cheap service by joining with us, and the probability is it is the only way they wil be able to get telephone service soon." Mr. Killion also stated that Dr.

L. H. Johnson, of Old Kentucky Home ranch, has declared he will build a line from the northwest corner of section 30-21-32 to connect with the Peoples Mutual line at the northwest corner of section 17-22-32, on almost a direct line from Garden i City to Scott, which line could reach within four miles of the Scott county line. This is not only a subject of interest, to farmers between here and Scott, but to businessmen and provisional men of Garden City as well. It has been called so important a matter that the suggestion has been made for its discussion by the Industrial club shortly.

"the best orator in Kansas." Thrift, education, and honesty were principles Judge Madison commended to colored men as well as whites. WOMEN DEAD MRS. WADE H. RENICK PASSED AWAY LAST NIGHT AT HER HOME NEAR HERE. ALSO MRS.

VERY SEEMS LITTLE SCRATCHING TO BE THE RULE HERE TODAY REPUBLICANS ELATED Looks Like Victory for Contested Places Where Slander Trust Got in Its Work Interest and Order. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, 629 votes had been polled in the three precincts of Garden City, out of a total registration of approximately 1,000. The interest was heavy from early morning, and the feature of the day is the fact that comparatively few ballots are being scratched. Observant perosns at all poiling-'li'aces tday have notedithe fact that man after man left the booth inside of a minute, or very little longer than that time. This argues strongly for republi can success, for the majority is heavy, the party vote is getting out, and if there is little scratching, the majority is bound to be large The same is true of immediately outlying precincts, such as Huffmans, Macks, and Sherlock, though not in such a pronounce degree as in town.

There was an early rush to the polls. Men were waiting in -fvery instance All day long, quiet, orderly, but interested groups have been around polling-places, and on the streets generally. Automobiles have quickly, taken voters, especially laboringmen, to the polls, as in the case of the sugar factory forces, both day and night men. There has been no difficulty, no quarrels, little loud talking, no use of liquor manifest, and with it all, the greatest interest. Indications are that the republican nominees on -whom particularly hard fight was made, and whom the Slan der trust had attacked, including A.

C. Wheeler. Robert W. Lynn, Clyde Hopper, and M. A.

Easley, will win. Some democrats this afternoon guessed Wheeler "would have a hundred majority from the way things were running. County Clerk Rowan's defeat by Lynn is everywhere expected. Returns will be received tonight at places indicated elsewhere in The Telegram. The vote by wards at 3 o'clock follows: First 108.

Wednesdav. MADISON'S EFFORT OF LAST NIGHT IS SO DESCRIBED GENERALLY, TODAY. PARALYZE OPPOSITION His Remarks Leave Nut a Leg Stand on Tariff, Trusts, Conservation, PrincipaiTheme Addresses Colored Voters. to ft is generaly accepted today that Judge E. H.

Madisci, representative in congress from the Seventh district, made last night at the court- house the best political speech heard here in years. The courtroom was lkerally packed to hear Judge Madison, and he talked for an hour and a half. His speech was exhaustive from a political standpoint, and dealt with the affairs of the Roosevelt admisistra-tion, the prosperous times, the reasons for keeping the republican party in power, the tariff, the trusts and combines, and good advice to the party generally. Two things essentially political for there were some things not entirely such that Judge Madison made strong points on were the tariff and the trusts and combinations. Judge Madison showed the effect of tariff for revenue only, as the Wilson-Gorman law from 1894 to 1896.

He recited things that are historical facts as to the period of depression always present in democratic rule and during low tariff times. He said the maintenance of the principle of protection was essential to the Arkansas valley and to this town and comity. The tariff would be revised, he said, if Taft is elected, next March; but it will maintain protection. He said it would not be revised upward, bu: downward, and that he would do a'l in his power to maintain protection on beet sugar. The party was pledged to this, he said, and so was Mr.

Taft. He defined protection and the republican theory as being the difference between the price of labor at -home and abroad. He said that the prosperous times were due to the principle of protection being carried out by the republican party by general confidence in that party. The utter incapacity of the democratic party he said was the reason it had not succeeded in wise government. He conceded, that the democratic party in the main, was honest, sincere, patriotic, and wanted to do right; but that it either did not know how to govern, or at any rate did not succeed in so doing.

One reason was the fact that it never agreed on anything; rhere was always division in the raks. Judge Madison spent some little time on the subject of trusts and combinations. 'He showed tihat every lina of legislation well-directed effort towards legislation lad been by republicans. Democrats, in the Fiftieth congress, had undertaken this legislation, and its commission had reported the number of trusts, the need of legislation, but its inability to agree. Republicans declared for the legislation in the platform of 1888.

Bills were at once introduced when congress convened. Finally resulted the socalled Sherman antitrust law, under which great results had been obtained. It had frequently been said the law was too strict and severe which showed the measure of success for it. Judge Madison commended the era of conservation when reclamation and forestration are being put into effect, here in the Arkansas valley, here at Garden City. He pictured a valley of untold prosperity years from now, the result of the commencement of conservation work under republican administration.

Judge W. E. Hutchison held the audience in the early evening until Judge Madison's arrival from his colored meeting, and made a good short s-peech. He introduced Judge Madison to the big audience. Addresses Colored Men.

Shortly after 7 o'clock, Judge Madison addressed colored voters to th? number 21, and many whites as well, at the clubrooms of the Finney County Republican club. His address was mainly along the lines of what the republican party thad done for the colored race; but specifically stated he did not ask support of these people for the party for that reason. He asked it because the party had made it possible for colored as well as whites to work every day, for living wages, and to be a happy, prosperous, and content ed people. He complimented the race on its splendid progress in the past 40 years, and spoke highly of the work of its leaders, including W. T.
