Excessive Heat Interferes With Maneuvers First Big Problems Today For Kansas Boys Junction City, Aug. 17 Yesterday the regular and national guard troops tried to rest for the big event that is to take place today when the entire force for camp of instiuction will participate in combined maneuver. They had very little success in their efforts in this direction for it was the severest day as far as the heat is concerned that the men have had to pass t'irought. The temperature was arourd the hundred mark all day. A couple of inches of rain fell in the camp during the past neverthless the roads all about the camp were dusty.

The sweltering heat and the great clouds of dust that blew over the camp made life for the soldiers at the mane uver camp anything but enviable. The Kansasnational guard, wHch has about forty or fifty head of horsas. for the use of officers at the brigade headquarters and staff officers, succeeded in attracting the attention of regular once at least. The Kansans had their animals under canvas shade, while about 4,000 head of cavalry and artillery horses and mules belonging to the quartermaster's department, stood tied to the picket line3 in scorching sun. According to the program, yesterday morning was to be given over to divine service.

There was a small attendance. In the afternoon the ball game between the different organizations injthe camp drew big crowds. Many hundreds of visitors went through the camp. Mo3t of these come from central Kansas town. The Kansas national guard will have their first big maneuver with the regular force of camp today.

The problem will be for a combined maneuver and the regular force will be divided into a blue and brown army. The Kansas national guard, under the command of Brigadier General Charles P. Drew will make up part of one of these forces. The maneuver will be in the nature of a big sham battle and a great quantity of blank ammunition will be used. Burglars entered the home of Mr.

About eighty percent of the normil Repu-dican vote was cast for Governor in the ri nary. Only about thirty-fiive percen or' the Democratic vote wasoolle Th total Republican vote for with four counties missin? was 11833. The Total Republican vote on See; ry of State in 1906 was 163,671. The Secretary of State vote is usually considered the normil party vote. The Total Democratic vote for Governor was 41,804, with four counties missing, -while the total vota of the party on Secretary of State two years ago was 127 881.

The total primary vote on Governor was 162,830 with four counties missing. If these four counties cast the usual percentage tha total vote will be about 173,000. The total vote on Secretary of State in 1906 including the four counties missing, was 305,431. It is thus seen that the total vote poiled in the primary wa3 60 per-, cent of the normal vote of the state, 80 percent Republican, 35 percent Democrats, the Socialists and Prohibitionist running about 20 percent Democrats the Socialists and Prohibitionists running about 50 percent of thiir normal vote. The figures on the principal contested offices have been made up with the exception 'of four counties No returns have been received from Cloud, Jewell, Lyon and Ford counties and only partially complete returns have been received from Sedgwick county.

The 101 counties give the following vote: Republican United States Senator J. L. Bristow Chester I. Long Bristow's majority 7,229. Republican Governor W.

Harrison W. H. Ran Botkin's plurality 7,612 Botkin lacks but forty-six votes of having a majority over both Ryan and Harrison and when the four missing counties report it is possible that he willhave a majority. The four missing counties will probably increase Bristow's majority to above 7,500 and Stubbs's majority close to 17,090. T.

A. McNeal has a plurality of 13, 433 with five counties missing and these counties will not be able to reduce the State Printer fight very much. Fred S. Jackson, with- five counties missing, received a larger majority by 16,000 than A. F.

Williams received total vote. In an even hundred counties Jackson received 77,485 and Williams 30,514.

TO INVESTIGATE OUR RURAL CARRIERS cfi From Washington Sa.s CouipUint From Wellington is to Be Looked A'tcr In today's hsue of the Topeka Capital appears a dispatch under a Washington date line stating that rural mail carriers at Wellington are to be investigated on charge of political activity during the recent primary campaign. According to the dispatch the department is going to act without formal complaint but the correspondent does not seem to know that the matter has already been investigated by an inspector who visited Wellington before the primary ebetion. The Capital Dispatch is as follows: Washington, D. Aug.

19. Charges were recently made by a Wellington newspaper that letter carriers of the rural free delivery service at Wellington and otner points had violated the President's orderv in' respect to political activity while on duty in behalf of Senator Long and against tte candidacy of J. L. Bristow, who, whi'e fourth assistant postmaster general had supervision over this branch of the service. A call upon Acting Postmaster General disclosed the fac that no complaint against the accused carriers has as yet been received at the department.

Mr. Gran-fulil stated, however, upon being furnished with a nev. spaper account of the violate thnt he would at once order an investigation to be made by the Kansas City inspectors' division. "Should the investigation disclose the fact that rural; carriers have worked agaist Mr. Bristow or any other candidate for, office Jn Kansas while engaged in the performance of their duties they would be found guilty of an offense which would result in their summary dismissal from the service," declared Mr.

Grandfield. "Under the the order of President Roosevelt no government officer or employee in the civil service 3 permitted Jto engage in politics while on duty or to the extent of interfering with the public service. Such officers and employeeshave, of course, the right to affi'iate with any political party they may see fit and are at liberty to have opinions and ex press them publicly if they choose in a quiet way, but to adroitly asd openly engage in a campaign for or against any particular candidate is a violation."
