Joseph Catholic church in Shawnee, at a dinner attended by nearly 300 Johnson County Democrats. Rooney said that Governor Arn had been advised two years ago that the people in this area were outraged by high water bills. evinced great Rooney said, told the people, is going to be a revision in your water rates When I become governor, if I have to turn the corporation commission upside down to accomplish No Change on Commission. Instead of that, Rooney said, rates have increased, and Arn never changed the complexion of the commission one iota." The candidate asserted that two men owned the Kansas City Suburban Water company, that they have invested $75,000 cash in it, and that it is on the tax rolls of Wyandotte and Johnson counties for He went on to say that the company was valued for rate-making purposes at $1,334,103, which, he said, an inflated value of to gouge you on your water rates." The candidate charged that various Republican appointees were unfit to hold office, and that when he had gone over to the statehouse to chcck their records, hr had found the records dried up." elected governor," Rooney said, promise you more hell going to break out in the statehouse than there ever has in the history of Kansas." At the outset Rooney said he realized that coming into Johnson County is a calculated risk, because it has always been in the Republican column. Then he added that the Republican party once had outstanding men in office, men of the caliber of John W.

Breyfogle, of Johnson County, but today the party is controlled by clique of selt- ish, greedy, unscrupulous, little men known as the Arn-Darby- Carlson faction." too long in Kansas," he said, corporations, railroads and utilities have been running the affairs of the state. I have never represented a corporation in my law practice. I always have represented the little guy in the courts of justice for the last twenty-five years. If I am elected governor I will alw'ays keep in mind that the governor ought to look out for the little guy." Cites a Case.

Poliomyelitis continued to take its toll in Wyandotte County as the number of resident cases registered at the city-county health center yesterday reached seventy-eight, within one of the all-time high set six years ago.

Last w'eek and yesterday six new resident cases were reported. bringing the October total to eighteen and showing no really encouraging signs of a seasonal tapering off. Darkening the picture even more is the prevalence of the bulbar type of the disease this year, requiring costly and Intricate equipment to help sufferers with respiratory difficulties. While the peak polio year of 1946 recorded seven fatalities of seventy-nine cases, the rate has been held to three out of seventy-eight this year, with no deaths listed since last week. In an earlier cycle year, 1943, seventeen of a reported seventy- three victims died.
