Tha Panama Exposition was tha main feature at today'a election. The city has voted li.OOO.oes for the expo sition, and Its cltlsens have subscribed I7.t00.000 more. Tha next Mayor will have much to say In tha disposition of this tremendous sum. It Is said that Rolph's election would mean tha In coming of an entirely new regime, re placing the affiliations which have controlled the city with a single In terim, four years. Tha election officially was non partisan, but McCarthy had the In dorsement of the Union Labor party, as against the Democratic and Repub lican support for Rolph. Maay Lafcer Leaders far Relpa. This year, while McCarthy had tha formal Indorsement of the Union Labor party, many of tha leaders In tha labor movement of the city took tha stump against him. among them being Andrew Furuseth.

It waa all about aa apple tree, too, lust aa tha old story tells. J. C. Mann, who lives at a station of tha same name on tha Woodstock line, charged trespass against C Royal, la that he bad removed from the prop erty of tbe complainant an appla tree and two cherry trees. Mrs. Royal was offered as a witness for tha complainant, with whom, she admitted, she was "keeping company. This was objected to by the defense on the ground that ahe could not testify against her husband, but It waa showa that her testimony related to the pre nuptlal period and Justice Olson held that tha confidential relation regarded by the law had not then been es tabllshed. The woman took the stand with alacrity and related how Royal had pointed out the trees to her and sug gested transplanting them to tha home thev were preparing. "The woman tempted me and I did eat." rejoined Royal, who said It was upon her suggestion that ha had mads tbe transfer.

TILT COMES UNEXPECTEDLY 'Demagogic Progressives De nounced by Secretary. . SENATOR QUICK TO REPLY Kansas Statesman Tells Cabinet Officer People of State Will Keep Right on In TVays. Taft Avoids Politics. HUTCHINSON. 'Kan.. Sept. 26. Near the close of what had been a non partisan celebration of the 60th anni versary of the birth of Kansas as a state, with President Taft as the prin cipal speaker, a political Incident flared up here today and gave a thrill to tire thousands of K ana ana who packed the grandstand at tbe State Fair grounds. Walter L. Fisher, Secretory of tha Interior, just back from Alaska, mads a three-minute speech. In which ha said something about the difference between "real progressives of tbe mid dle of the road type like Mr. Taft," and "heretical, demagoglo "progres sives who oppose every practical pro gressive policy put forth." Challenge Taken I'd. Senator Joseph L. Brlstow followed Secretary Fisher and quickly caught up his challenge. "We, In Kansas," he said, "are al ways willing to grant that tbe other fellow Is honest in his views and we expect him to grant that we are honest in ours. I want to say to President Taft and to Secretary Fisher right now. that in working out the problems that confront us, we of Kansas will have our part and have our say to the end that there shall be equal Jus tice to all and special privilege to none." Both Wildly Applauded. Both Secretary Fisher and Senator Brlstow were wildly applauded. The throng seemed to appreciate the verbal passage at arms and the practical serving of notice by the Kansas Sena tor that, while he was participating freely and gladly In the welcome to President Taft. there was to be no let up In the factional fight as soon as he had left the borders of the common wealth. The President himself had made ab solutely no reference to politics. His address was purely historical and In It he had taken occasion to pay trib ute to the independence in thought and action of the Kansas people, saying that no matter how much one might differ from their views there could be nothing but admiration for their cour age In carrying these views forward 'to a logical conclusion. Fisher Confers With Taft. Secretary Fisher reached Hutchison this afternoon and had a long, confer ence with the President on Alaskan af fairs. The Secretary, it Is said, is con vinced that the people of the far Northwestern territory need relief and ho is going to do his utmost to see that they get It- The Secretary Is go- . lng to set about to solve the coal ques tion. If he cae. ' The Secretary's address furnished the most interesting feature of the day. When he arose and faced the big crowd. Mr. Fisher was silent for fully a minute. Then he said, slowly: "I am one of those that count , my self a "progressive." "I am a true "progressive." and I be lieve In true progressiveness and not in hypocritical or demagogic "progres sives' who declare for a progressive policy and then oppose every practical progressive measure put forth. "When President Taft said he was try, lng to keep in the middle of the road, the other day. I bellve he meant what he said and I believe that you believe he meant what he said. I am that type of "progressive." My friends, you should judge men. not by what they say, but by what they do." Senator Curtis, of Kansas, classed as a ""conservative." followed Senator Brlstow. and he took advantage of the somewhat strained situation to pay a tribute to Secretary Fisher. "Mr. Fisher," he said, "has Just re turned from Alaska, where he has been studying the great problems that face the people of that far-away territory. And I want to say to you. Mr. Secre tary, that the people of this country will believe what you report In. re gard to Alaska, and L as one Senator, will be there to help you and President Taft to solve the Alaskan questions and to servo the people of this country." Senator Curtis concluded with the assertion that the people of Kansas believed Mr. Taft "broad and big enough to be the President of all the people." In his address Mr. Taft referred at some length to the late Representative E. H. Madison, who died suddenly a week ago. m,. ii-Ment rode several miles un der a boiling sun to the fair grounds here. He was escorted Dy a troop ot One trooper's horse knocked a woman on the sidewalk, but Dr. (Concluded on Page 2.) acoompanted him.
