Pulaskicitixen.

We mistOOk the energy OF repub-
licans for apathy of democrats last
week,and berated our own people
for staying away from the polls.
Two years ago Giles gave Bate
2479. Last week he got 2757 AN in
crease of 278 votes.
tits said that the oppcsitiOn Ia the
railroad commission cost democracy
votes.
WE DENY IT'LL
Everywhere that the railroad
commission WAS opposed strongest,
the agitation brought democrats
out. They came out to vote for
Bate and scratch the commission.
Giles vote proves IL.
Williamson county hardly had n
voice raised against the commisa-
ion, and set Bates vote fell of sew
eral hundred.
The republicans made unsual
efforts to get every man out aud
they voted their utmost strength.
We believe the facts Warrant the
assertion that Gov. Bate owes his
election to the opposition to the
railroad commission. The people
were asleep, didn't care TO vote and
were not going to vote, but they
were made interested by this com
mission discussion and thus brought
to the polls, where they voted for
Bate and saved him from defeat.
The writer was In position TO
know the inside facts and he asserts
here and now that the men who
scratched the commission voted for
Bate almost TO man, and 278 more
were brought out to vote for him
than came out two years age.
Scratchers elected Bate.
See the counties where the COM
mission was opposed strongest and
you will see Bates vote Is increased.
See the counties where the eOmmls-
mission was not opposed and yen
will see his vote decreased.

the stairs came a strong mans
tread, close up TO within three steps
of her. Must she shoot Must she

"Fire," said the old man, in a
whisper. Alicia fired. The strong
man fell with a groan TO the floor

door. The others had fed. Through
the silence Alicia heard the sound
of horses hoofs on the highway.
They were gone. She was saved +;

TRENPYFOUR YEARS.

Edward Everett Hale in the Philadel.
phiR Press: In The year 1860 the peo-
pie of the north, for the first time since
1901, got possession of the national gov
eminent. The people sent into admin
Istrslion men who knew the peoples
life. The people, which had governed
states before and brought them to high
prosperity, now assumed for the first
time the government of the nation. The
people applied methods unknown in the
history of the world before, and achieved
results unknown ia the history OF the
world before.
The southern rulers of the nation, in
countless whims ana fsncies, had kept
the currency of the country doubtful,
uncertain, and in one instance left the
country without any.
The people, business like and not
given to whims, established q national
currency in which the furthest outpost
Is as we'll served as the city of New
York, and the most ignorant man in the
nation cannot suffer by banking insOlV
ency.
The southern rulers had held that in.
ternal improvement by the nation was
impossible.
The people built three national routes
to the Pacific, opened the mouth of the

The nation has opened up In twenty

states, with the single excep.
ton OF Texas, haYe failed TO attract any
considerable emigration to their enOI-
NOUS tracts of waste and fertile laands.
The nation has developed Its manu-

men now can make as much cloth as ont

The outcome of twenty-five years onil

people, by the people, is that q dolla

This is what happeued as soon as Re

THE WHOLE TICKET.

Atchison Champion: So much con-
troversy has been INDUCED in about the
head of the state ticket, because 1t Is at
that point that the Republican column
has been assailed, that little has been
said about the excellent gentle men who
have been nominated for other state off,

Before any voter claiming to be a
Republican scratches any name on this
ticket he would do we'll to look at every
name upon it. Saying nothing of the
candidate for governor; is there any
good reason why any mans name on that
ticket should be scratched? Do the op.
position offer anything as coed? Is
there any comparison between q. K.

THE "LRREPRESSLBLE" CON
FTTTT

HLICL.
One of the strongest presentations OF
the issues of the campaign that has yet
been made is that found in letter to the
Philadelphia Press by Edward Everett
Hale, under date of October IL. 1t views
from the broadcast standpoint the issues
and the tendencies of the two great par
ties, and with keen, incisive blade, Mr..
Hale cuts through the fiimsy bubbles of
Democratic pretensions. Some of his
terse epigrams are worthy of Victor
Hugo, and the logic of his whole letter
is irresistible. The Introductory para
graphs, quoted below, are written in the
spirit OF philosOphic student of his
tory, and they serve to impress the les
son of the real meaning of southern
domination:
Gouverneur Morris said to Josiah
Quincy eighty years ago, The great mis-
take We made was IN the beginning,
when we united eight republics to five
| oligarchles."
The eight republics were the eight free
states OF the old thirteen.
The five oligarchies were the five slave

The olIgarchIes were governed by
hsndfuls OF planters.
II is now proposed to the people of
| the northern states, who are used to gov
erning their own states, that they shall
| give the government of the country TO
the handful OF men who govern the
southern states. This is what is meaut
when it is said that government is to be
transferred to the hands OF the Demo-
cratic party.
The real people of the north will be
very sorry If this thing is ever done,
even if it is done through their own neg.
ligence.
What is called the Democratic party

No man could haYe been selected by
the Republicans as candidate for gov

one OF the voters of Kansas, who claims
to be member of the Republican party
