HOW WILL YOU VOTE?
A Plain Talk to Square Republicans


The stock in trade of the Democrats in
this campaign has consisted in simple de-
nunciation Of the Republican ticket. No
word hardly has been said in behalf of their
own ticket or Of the individual men Of
tinual TRADE against the Republican ticket
as whole, for they could not. dare not, de-
nounce any individual nominee.
J. c. Rutan is as strong, as pure and as
capable and as experienced man ms this
city can show. Not a single whisper has
ever been heard against his character as a
man, as citizen or as a Republican. He in
fact stood high in the councils Of his party
in the state of Iowa previous to his removal
TO Wichita, serving one term as secretary of
the state central committee. If elected he
will devote his time to the bes. interests of
Wichita
When it comes to The body of the ticket,
did any man ever hear anything detrimental
TO any single man unless it was some mug
wulnp lies There is NJ. 5. Rochelle for po-
lice Judge, not rich or influential, but hard
working, industrious man with all the neces-
sary qualifications for taking care of the po-
lice court For justices of the peace w. ID.
Throckmorton and L. NJ. lawrence, both
splenddly equipped by education. training
and experience TO fill their respective places
with honor to themselves and friends. For
city treasurer, Abe Smith, as good and
square man as ever showed plane or
filed contract, another man who il not
afraid OF work. There is Charley Lawrence
who will hold as treasurer of the school
board the largest amounts of money next TO
the county treasurer, who would not trust
their all in his hands with unbounded con-
fidence that not nickle would be lost, lap
pin and Stanley are sober, intelligent men
who viii discharge their duties in a manner
which will relieve tine city the cost of one or
two policemen. When it comes to members
of the council, tie Democrats have laid
great stress upon the assertion that their
mugwump ticket was superior, but We defy
any disinterested man who is acquainted
with The respective men. 10 sit down and
point out wherein any single nominee of
The Democratic convention. is better or SUI
,erior to Stem, Tucker. Downing,
sm,Hond or Starnes, all of
HON are honorable men and
ax payers. The six nominees of the Re-
cublicaus for the school board, namely,
Wallace, Vineyard, Allen, McAfiee, Dcran
and Hess. are all intelligent gentlemen.
With the exception of one, we have been
acquainted with all for years and any Dem
ocrat or mugwump would find himself in
losing game trying TO convice us ut least
that there could be any possibility Of that
board giving the people anything but an
intelligent and honest administration of our
school affairs. They are in no way connec-
ted with any contracting schemes or with
any supply firm, any book store, publishing
house or banking institution. They are
simply-straight forward genllesen who will
try to do their whole duty.
So far rs we are able TO see there is not n
single excuse for any straighout true Re
publican scratching the Republican ticket
or for voting for single man on the mug
wump ticket.
Let every Republican be true to himself
and 10 his principles to-day.
