NJ. +. Stewart. Democratic candidate
for county superintendent, has never
managed a normal institute, but he has
successfully taught several district
schools and he knows the needs and
demands of the public school system in
Barber county. lie has not been so
fortunate as to organize teachers in
stitutes in his favor; but he has an
other element pretty well organized.
and this is the element that pays the
bills. lie is not much of man for
new-fangled notions. phonetic spelling,
new books, new methods and jlm-cracks,
but he is a great believer in old-fashiOn
'readin', writin' and 'rithmetic." As
county superintendent, Mr.. Stewart
would ever have in view that somebody
has To pay the bills, and as he is poor
man who has had a hard row TO hoe
himself, we believe that he would try
and make the burdens of the tax payers
and school patrons as light rs possible.
lie IS qualified; he is industrious; lie is
accommodating. He has every qualiiica-
tion that Mr.. Lands has, and he GER
tainly does possess some attributes that
Mr.. Lands does not. Then why should
anyone prefer the present incumbent?
Mr.. Stewart is the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party and there would be just
as much sense in Democrat scratch
ing his name as there would be in
scratching the name of John Martin.
Remember NJ. f. Stewart; see that his
name is on your ticket and see that no
one persuades you to take it off next
Tuesday.

Capt Estell, cand ida,e for district
clerk, was so unfortunate as to lose his
fortune in attempting to handle cattle
in Barber and Comanche counties. He
does not expect to retrieve his fortune
10y being elected to Office, but he does
expect to secure living forhmself and
family. The frosts of more than sixty
winters have chilled this old mans
bones; he has passed into the scar and
yellow leaf, and now if his countrymen
are grateful, they will not hesitate to
put him in position he can acceptably

THE OUTLOOK TODAY

At the time of going to press the nat
ional contest looks favorable to the Dem
Ocracy. Our leaders say that there IS
not shadow of doubt about New
York, New Jersey and Indiana going
for Cleveland and they have hopes of
saving Connecticut and winning Ne
vada and Michigan and probably Ore
gon and California. We can win with
out Indiana if we carry the states that
we did in 1884; but we cannot lose
Indiana and Connecticut and win I'M
less we gain some other state-any state
will do. 1t takes POI electoral votes to
elect and our people say we will get
them.
In Kansas, Judge Martin has a good
fighting chance, but that is all. If, as
it is now repol ted they will, the Union
Labor people vote for HIM IN any con-
siderable numbers, Judge Martin will
be elected. But at this writing Wed
nesday) we would not advise anyone to
bet on that result.
In this congressional district, Judge
Peters will likely be reelected, though
Ebey will follow him very closely. 1t
may be that the independent vote to be
cast for Ebey will elect him, but Snider
still insists on staying on the track, and
we cannot see how he or Ebey can
either defeat Peters.
In this senatorial district it appears
that Mr.. Carter will certainly defeat the
Republican nominee, Mr.. Price. If Mr..
Carter gets majority of 100 in Barber
county, which he is clearly entitled to,
he will be elected. His friends should
make personal matter of his canvass,
for to elect him state senator will be to
elect man who will vote against both
Senators Plumb and Ingalls, before his
term expires.
In Barber county, every indication
points to the entire defeat of the Re-
publican ticket. Our guess is that
Simpson, Afford, Shannon, EstelI and
Stewart will be elected by good MAORI
ties.
This Is our honest and unreseryed
opinion of the political outlook at this
time.

Frank Price, Republican candidate
the way to reduce and keep down the
surplus In the United States treasury. is
to make extravagant appropriations for
the useless rivers of the east, scatter
the millions of direct tax collected du-
ring the war, and in every other way
possible spend the money wrung from
the people and called tariff All sensi-
ble and reasonable economists believe
that the way TO keep down the surplus
is to let the people keep their money in
their pockets, reduce the import duties
on the necess2rieS of life and admit
free of duty raw materials. Mr.. Price
Is as Ignorant as a sucking babe as
compared with w. III. Carter. his oppo-
nent MIR. Carter is an experienced
legislator, who has a record as an anti
mOnopolist and if he is elected to the
Kansas state senate, lie will be heard
from by his constituents. He is on
posed, of course, by every bank IN i s;;:s
district and by every railroad COMPANY
that has mile of track; but he has The
confidence of the masses. 4 vote for
Mr. Bailey, the Union Labor candidate
is practically vote for Mr.. Price. for
the Republicans have a majority in The
district. SO then We ask the Uni1n
Labor people to inquire carefully of
their vell-posted leaders and ascertain
Who will come nearer representing the
people, Mr.. Carter or Mr.. Price. Their.
IS principle involved. and that princi-
pie is whether the candidate Of menop-
DIV shall be elected state senator. or
whether man who has spent life
time in fighting monopoly shall lie
elected.

Watch out for fraudulent tickets. 1t
is said that the scheme now is to print

all the names printed on the same, eX-
cept, perhaps, the name of Shannon or
Estell. These are to be left blank and
the names Of their opponents are to be
lrritten in their places. Such a ticket
would be fraudulent and would not be
counted. The law does not allow any
name that appears on the regular ballot

Frank Shannon is good member of
the Presbyterian church, and the fact
that the members of this very respect
able organization are solid for him GER
tainly speaks well for Mr.. Shannon. He
is not man who gets out on the house
tops and proclalms that he is more holy
than anyone else: but he is consistent
in this as in all things. He is a tenn
perance man. too; he has no use for
whisky and he does not use it i'm any
way, and while, if elected, he would not
prosecute anyone for prosecutions sake,
he would be found doing his whole duty
without fear or favor. 1t could not be
charged that his interests and those of
whisky sellers were identical; nor on
the other hand could it be charged that
he was elected solely and wholly for the
purpose of smelling out violatOrs of the
prohibitory law while he would let vio-
lators of other laws escape prosecution
or punishment. We say that Mr. Shan
non is a level-headed, consistent citi-
zen; a moral man; a Christian gentle
man; an able lawyer and wise cOun-
sellor. He is a head and shoulders
above his opponent in every respect
He is economical and saying as a pri-
vate citizen, and 1t is safe to presume
that as the adviser of the county com
missioners he would ever have in view
the interests of the taxpayers. Can as
much be said of his competitor, Mr..
Cameron? You that know both men.
