POLITICAL.

The Republicans of Sedgewick county
never had a ticket more worthy oftheir sup
port than that now in the field. No true Re
iican can object to single name on the tick
ct, and none has.
Last fall the Democrats were jubilant over
their victory and painted tine town red, and
none exulted over the Republican defeat
more than did certain gentlemen who now
want to be elected by republican votes
The chairman Of the late democratic conven-
ton exhorted ell democrats to stand by Their
coiors and vote the straight democratic
ticket This is all right, but why such
striving on the part ofthe two principal can
didstes to soft soap republicans to sup
port them, SO they can laugh at them snd
inaugurate a Democratic hurrsh, if they
happen TO be elected. These are the mer
who painted the town with S29, and are the
most rampant psrtizans in the county

TRADING ON THE SOLDIER.

1t is well known in this city, and it is not
denied by anyone, that one or two candi-
candidates for county Offices on the Demo-
cratic ticket, confidently expect large num-
Der Of Republicans, who are comrades of
the Grand Army of the Repnblic, to vote
for them because they are members of that
association. We refer TO Messrs. John
Fisher, candidate for sheriff, and Mr.. Chas.
F. Derby, for county treasurer. In this re-
spect Mr.. Derby has no Advantage over his
opponent, Captain Walters, for he too is a
Grand Army man; but the rsllying cry is
on Mr.. Fisher, because his opponent, Mr..
w. w. Hayes, than whom there is no bet
ter citizen, nor s;auncher Republican,
who WAS not soldier. Mr.. Fisher
expects to get, Grand Army Republican
votes.
Before coming to decision on this point,
we invite every old soldier to ask himself
the question, would John Fisher vote for an
old soldier, who was Republican, against
Democrat on bis own ticket. We answer
no; no matter if the nominee on his own
ticket had been rebel. Will John Fisher
or Mr.. Derby vote for an old soldier on the
Republican ticket No. They may claim
that they would, but the record is against
them. Did they vote for General Logan,
the father of the Grand Army organization,
when he was csndidate'for the vice presi.
dency, against that rampant cop
perhesd, Thomas A. Hendricks Nc.
They painted the town red over the victory;
they were leaders of the gang.
Did they vote for Garffelds No; they Ia
belled the city with 1929" Did they ever
vote for Grant, the great soldier who this
nation loved' Not much Did they ever
vote for Republican, Not if they knew it..
Would they vote for you were you on Re-
publican ticket No stree, Bob. VIII
they ever vote for any Republican, Not if
they know themselves.
Trading on ones army friends reminds us
of Josh Billings old saying; about as low
down Is man can get without spelling, is
to live on his wifes reputation" So it is in
this case About as low down as an Office
seeker can get is to live altogether on his
army record. 1t is seriously suspected that
they are not SO very enthusiastic in the
cause, for At the last meeting Of tba Gar
field Post, when Gen. A L. Lee vas mus.
teaed In, these boasted soldiers were out In
the country hunting Republican votes. be-

Drawing Old Sherman On. "

first Federal shell fell aud exploded within
the limit Of Atlanta. It was miserable
little six-pounder, but it whistlei and
screamed. and swished through the sultry
air, and kicked up dust and made tn,
mot Internal fuss imaginable. There was
a city full Of pale-faced women and children
that afternoon, and every available negro
was promptly put to work digging boom

This first shell hurt nobody. The
old soldiers who crowded. the streets Lar g ied
at it. The merchant, locked up their stores
and struck for home, where they told their
wives that there was no danger, that they

Properly Furnishing Himself.

In Nashville, a professor engaged In
teaching business arithmetic, unfortun-
ateIy got on spree. The judge fined him
8 or a certain number Of days on the
chain-gang. Although the professor had in
his possession sbout 500, which he had made
during q recent trip through the south, he
refused to pay the fine, saying that he in
tended to work it out as a punishment for
getting drunk, as he was sure that the lesson
would be such strong reminder Of the evil
effects Of drinking as to prevent him from
ever yielding to the temptation again. The
genteel appearance and white hands of the
professor attracted attention when people
saw him at work in the changing on the
streets, and several gentlemen offered to pay
his fine, but this he refused to permit and
worked out his sentence.
