For State Senator.

Frank w. Ross the democratic nomi-
nee for state senator, a thorough gen
tleman, in every sense of the word, has
been making strong canvass in his
own county. He has held many meet
ings in the county, and has the utmost
confidence in ultimate success, if the
democrats of Barton and Stafford coun-
ties do their duty.
AS to Barton county, we feel safe in
saying Mr.. Ross will come out of the
race with handsome majority in his
favor. 1t is true he has not thoroughly
canvassed the county as has Mr.. Chap
man Rice county; but he is here and
making votes rapidly. In Rice county
Mr.. Chapman has spent most of his
time since his nomination, and Mr..
Ross has checkmated him at every turn.
Stafford county will prove herself all
right on election day. There are wheels
within wheels, aud the political machine
is not devoid of them.
Let our democratic friends stand as
sured that success awaits us in the SEN
atorial contest. Mr.. Chapman has ap-
parently gone to every democrat in the
county and asked them to vote for the
''home man." That scheme will not
help Mr.. Chapman. Mr.. Better might
make the same claim in Stafford county
and Mr.. Ross in Rice county, and if the
''home man" was always the man to
support it would be an arraying of the
three counties in the district against
each other; instead of the selection of a
man who could and would the most
ably represent all three OF the counties.
Such man you have in the person OF
Mr.. Ross. Hisintegrity is unquestioned,
his ability is undenied, and no word of
columny has ever been uttered against
him. He has ever stood honestly and
squarely by his principles, and whether
elected :or not viii continue to be the
same straightforward, earnest industri-
GUS business man.
Mr.. Ross does not caro- to ride to
victory over aheap of columnies brought
out against his opponents, and we have
no charges to make against the gentle
men who oppose him. We want the
support Of votes for Mr.. Ross because
we believe him a man in every way
fitted for the position.

EVERY day our candidate for county
superintendent of schools is gaining on
his opponents. Mr.. Looney has friends
everywhere he goes who get right down
to business and work for him with a
will. He has all the qualifications
necessary for school superintendent,
and no democrat should for moment
think Of boiling. Mr.. Looney will carry
his full party vote, and get fair sup
port from sensible republicans who
want a man of ability to look after the
education of their children. The only
persons who are making any fight
against Mr.. Looney are apparently one
or two men in Pawnee Rock who could
not agree to let him conduct the schools
there as he saw fit. The opposition of
the Tribune is only the outgrowth of a
distorted mind, unable to appreciate
the true principles Of justice and honor
able actions. and only serves to bind the
friends of Mr.. Looney more strongly to
his cause, When newspaper of the
Tribune stamp cannot put forward any
advantages its favorite candidates may
posses its cowardlce generally prompts
it to unwarranted abuse of the opposi-
ton candidates. The boomerangs it has
cast forth the last few weeks are
already coming back upon its soft pate.

WHY does the Great Bend Ifib,ae not
oppose those candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket who reside in the city Of
Great Bend. The reason is obvious.
The Tribune has no use for anyone who
resides outside the precincts of Great
Bend city. Every reader of that paper
knows that Townsley has always regard
ed Great Bend as Barton county. In
all previous election, railroad bond cleo
tions and others, the Iti6xnc has argued
the case from Great Bend standpoint.
The voters of this county know Towns
