From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 4, 1914:

• “All records for Kansas state voting were broken yesterday. The total ballots cast numbering over 500,000, Lawrence almost doubled its vote of two years ago, and this, with the complex character of the new ballots, has made it almost impossible to secure complete return before evening. The election of Arthur Capper, as governor, is almost conceded. Incomplete though the returns are, they are scattered enough to make the vote a representative one, and it is demonstrated that Henry Allen has made a much poorer showing than was anticipated.”
• “The service of the Journal-World last night met with great approval by the several hundred Lawrence people who took occasion to come down town and see the latest returns taken direct from the wire and flashed upon a screen across the street, using the stereopticon operated by Prof. Stimpson, of Kansas University. The display of returns were received at the Journal-World by the Associated Press, the Kansas News service, and by long distance telephones. The entire office force were on duty until very late at night and the people of Lawrence were given the best possible service. Nowhere else in the city were the reports received and displayed in any such manner. Alternating with the many reports received cartoons were shown adding to the merriment of the occasion…. The telephones at the office of the Journal-World were kept busy almost the entire night and all day today and Lawrence people have been cheerfully given the best information at hand. Special mention is given Prof. Stimpson for the efficient way in which he handled the slides and also to Ralph Ellis, a regular employee of the Journal-World, who drew some fine cartoons.”
• “Chancellor Strong and Mrs. Eustace Brown conferred yesterday with the Red Cross committee of the University, and decided to remove the mid-week date rule for Thursday evening of this week that the students may attend the moving picture theaters on the ‘Red Cross Day at the Movies.’ All four of the screen houses have arranged for excellent bills that evening, and efforts are being made at the university to secure special talent as extra numbers during the evening. The Red Cross fund will receive a considerable boost as a result of the co-operation of the moving picture theaters with the committees. The programs provided for that evening will equal the best that have ever been shown on the movie screens in Lawrence, and a large attendance is assured.”
