For the Eagle.
Jay Kempinsky.
ROCKFORD TOWNSHIP,

ROCKFORD TOWNSHIP,
October IL, 1919.
Mr.. EDITOR: AS there is some clam
or and discomfort among certain ones
over our county nominations and
and over the mongrel ticket, and as we
certainly had good men before that
convention, viii call your attention
your fellow townsman, Jay KEN
pinsky, who was candidate for Rep
rcsentative. Mr.. Kempinsky is a man
whose honesty and bushes qualifca-
tions can not be questioned. He comes
among US to stay and help build up
our country; he comes WIN his shield
and armor on and with an armiul of
recommendations from the best men
in the country, Governors and Senat-
ors and statesmen, and all concurring
in his honesty and sterling worth.
Mr.. Kempinskv has the good of orr
county at heart and does not ask to be
Representative for the pay there is in
it for there is none. lie wishes TO
serve the people for the good he feels
confident he can accomplish for them !;
and if he is elected we. shall never have
cause to regret it.
Let every voter come to the polls in
November and vote for the best men
men of principle, men who cannot be
bought nor bribed, men who are in
favor Of retrenchment and an honest
administration of public affairs, and
then, and not till then can we look for
prosperity. MANY CITIZENS.

IOWA RIGHT, ALSO NEBRASKA.
A Signal and Very Great Victory.
Hays Elected by 1000 Majority.
Republicans of the Entire Nation
Will Rejoice.

Up to the time Of our going to
press we have received no papers con-
tanning the particulars of the Ohio and
other elections, but from private dis
patches from Cincinnati and other
points to individuals in this city,
which have been shown US, as also
from dispatches of our own, there is
no doubt of the result. Ohio, the
glorious old Buckeye State, proves
true to the great national party, and
true TO the principles that have pre-
served the Nation for fourteen years
She is eminently sound and can be
counted on in the centennial fight.
Gen. Rutherford b. Hays is the coming
man, rather than VIM. Allen.
just as we go TO ptess this Wcdnes-
day afternoon, we receive the follow
ing dispatch sent from the capital:
TOPEKA, Oct. -, 3 Pm
Hon. ". H. Wurdock::
Hayes elected in Ohio by fully 10000
majority, and Kirkwood in Iowa by
$4,000. Legislatures Of both States
Republican The Republicans also
carry Nebraska and elect city tickets
in New Jersey. Cincinnati, Cleveland
and other large Ohio towns all Repub
lican. 1t is good time to make lit
lie noise. Ii. KING.

The EpizOOtic.

A disease very similar to tho cpl
zootic has broken out among the horses
of Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus.
Ohio; Montreal, Quincy, Illinois, and
many other places. The Chicago Inter-
Ocean says that many think it is a
mild form of the epizootic, but as yet
few cases have been found which re-
semble the epizootic of three years
ago. In fact, the present sickness of
the cquines is nothing moro or less
than ''horse influenza" The symp-
toms resemble those of severe cold,
with a slight fever.

A spcck of war is visible in the coal
and railroad armament. Rumors are
rife that the railroad company will not
haul out our coal until the miners come
to terms-that is, come down from
nine to eight cents per bushel. On the
other hand, the local coal companies
threaten to sue for damages under the
public carrier act. We anxiously await
further developments.-Osdge City
Press.
Yes, and in the mean time, the coal
yards at Wichita have run dry, the fire
in our cook stove has gone out, and we
are left to starve. That game will not
hold good any longer than we can get
a road direct to Fort Scott, or get a
connection with the Trinidad mines,
mind We.

The Spsakership.

The strength or weakness of the
Democratic inflationists will be shown
in the election of Speaker of the
next House of Representatives by the
Democratic majority of that body.
Tho candidates for that Office are en-
barassed by doubts as to the drift of
finsncial opinion. Only one of them
Mr., Michael c. Kcrr-is known to have
declared in favor of hard currency.
Mr.. Randall surrendered to the infla-
tionists at the Erie convention, and
Messrs. Cox and Wood are silent.
Kerr will probably be the candidate OF
the hard-money wing of his party, as
his record on that question is consist
ent and unassailablc. All of the prom
inent candidates have, however, been
strong hard-money men.

The Presidential Party.

1t is expected that the President and
his party will pass through this city
tomorrow. Gov. Osborn telegraphed
to him this morning, inviting him in
behalf of the State, to stop over here
tor such a length of time as could be
spared. Up to tins time III p. M no
answer has been received.
The Presidents party consists of the
following, viz: Gen.Grant. Mrs. Grant,

The Way the Eagle Was Committed.


In street political discussion the
other day, the great financial problem
of the times being the basis, reader
of the EAGLE turned upon US and de-
lirercd the poser, ''and what are your
views 2" We answered that our finan-
cial knowledge had all been embodied
in little article several weeks ago.
"Ah! but" said he, chat was all
about good times depending upon
plenty of pork and cattle and big crops
to sell--it was only such a common
sensed view as everybody understands
all about, and did not deal in the ma
tional results of imitation, contraction
or resumption" Our friend would in
no way concede that rule that held
good in small community was appli-
caple to a great nation, but insisted
that We should take some one of the
horns of the dilemma as laid down by
demagogues. Categorically, we will
now answer him:
We are for neither '.inflation," "con-
traction or immediate resumption"
as we understand the intents and legit-
innate results of these policies, but we
are for that party and for that policy
which will the most surely and speed
ily, without undue commercial excite
ment or shocks to the laboring and
commercial interests Of the country,
make our greenbaks equivalent,in eve-
~ particular, TO gold and silver.
To the solution Of this problem we
believe the great National Republican
party is earnestly and honestly address
ing itself. In its ability to accomplish
it, we entertain the utmost confidence.
The result viii be that the party will
make the matter so plain and straight
forward as to insure its retention in
power until the grand finale shall be
accomplished.

AT the Wichita fair Judge Harrison
took tho first premium for caulifiower,
peaches and peach preserves. SO much
for Butler county and Judge Harrison
He informs us that he entered his bug
gy team as "roadsters," and fairly and
plainly won the premium, but that the
judges, through partially to Wichita
sports" awarded the prize to anoth-
er. Nothing more than Butler county
might expect from Eldorado
Times.
1t is possible, Mr.. Times, but not
probable, that the judges showed any
Partially in the award of the close
stated premiums on horses, as the
judges were good, sturdy farmers, rails
ers and breeders of fine horses them
selves, and we hardly think they could
be mistaken in their judgment. We
see it stated, also, in another place in
the Times, that the Judge sold his
team for 1925. This, of itself, is sufii-
cient proof that he did not have the
best team, as the party to whom the
premium was awarded could sell his
team for double that amount any day.

Last week we mentioned the nomi-
nation of Col. Manning for Represent
ativc by the Republicans of Cowley
county. Since that time we have re-
ceived the papers of that county con-
tanning his declens,on. He declines to
run, for the reason that his nomina-
ton promised to cause disaffection in
the ranks of the Republican party. His
action from such a standpoint was very
commendable, which even his personal
enemies must admit.

Herd Law.

The herd law question is being dis
cussed in almost every county in the
State that has not already adopted it.
Butler county invented the Kansas
herd law, and was the first county in
the State to adopt it. We do not pro-
pose to discuss the question at this
time for the benefit of our neighbors
but will remark that within two or
three years it will be in force in nearly
every county in the State.-Eldorado

Rockford and Gypsum.

The above townships of the county
are never behind on any question,
never uncertain as to any proposition.
They have had another meeting down
there, and regardless of the trouble
the Financial question" is giving the
minds Of the leading statesmen and
thinkers of America, our friends pro-
coed to resolve platform and a policy.
We are left in the dark as to whether
the meeting was Democratic or Repub-
lican, but judge from the reading of
the resolutions that some of them had
been talking with John Kelley, our
nominee for Representative, whom we
heard advocating almost the identic-
al doctrine, if we are not mistaken,
laid down by our friends. We pub
lish these resolutions with pleasure,
but az the same time our friends down
there will permit US to say that, in the
end--and that end within another
year-we will all be compelled to
adopt one policy of two, both of which
may entirely ignore the particular
ideas laid down in the resolutions.
The resolutions were received just as
we go to press.
WHEREAS, We believe the attempt
of bond holders and capitalists to force
specie payments, by means of contract
ing the currency, if successful, will
prove disastrous TO the farmers and
iabering men of the country, and
WHEREAS, If the paper currency OF
our country, which is the currency of
the people, is made equal to gold, it
will not only decrease the value of our
farms and our produce, derauge bust
ness and check the rapid develpement
of our State, but will add to our in
debtedness nearly fifteen cents on
every dollar. making an increased in
debtedness of nearly thirty thousand
dollars in gold, on railroad bonds
alone, in Sedgwick county; therefore,
Resolred, That we will support no
man for the State Legislature or for
Congress unless he will pledge uncon-
ditionally against the bond holders
policy of reaching specie payment by
contraction.

The Female Suffrage question has
recently been decided upon by the
United States Supreme Court. That
tribunal declares that the Constitution
of the United States does not confer
the right of suffrage upon any one,not
even male voters. The rule of suffrage
ini the Federal Constitution is based
upon the rule of suffrage in the States.
Ii is therefore regulated entirely by
State laws.
