Topeka Elects Two Democrat Council Members in Tuesday Vote
Topeka voters elected J. W. Blossom and A. P. Benson to the city council, representing the First and Second wards. Blossom and Benson, lifelong Democrats, defeated Republican incumbents amid low turnout with 731 votes in First ward and 652 in Second ward. Other wards saw D. J. Dickinson and James Burgess retained, while Warner won a sweeping victory in the Fifth ward. The results reflect party organization weaknesses and light registration.

Kansas Aids Transmississippi Exposition Funding Call
The Kansas commission appeals to mayors, boards of trade and citizens to raise about 30000 dollars for the Transmississippi Exposition. Railroads have advanced 15000, and the commission seeks further support for state buildings, headquarters, and mining and livestock exhibits to place Kansas among leading states. Correspondence should go to the commission or secretary, with funds sent to treasurer John By Frost in Topeka. The group promises to repay railroad advances from future state funds.
