come out and compare records with Mr..

SPEAKING OF the recent anarchist"
scare, so cutely planned but 80 poorly
carried out by the republican managers,
a prominent republican of Lawrence
said:
s'If the rapid growth of the union la
Dor party can not be checked without
resorting to such brazen forgery, then I
would prefer defeat rather than victory
by such dish0nOrable means. Between
Ingalls, letter, Booths stupidity and
this last foolish attack ON the union la
Dor party, under the direction of Mr..
Plumb, our party is certainly getting
into a bad way. The trouble with our
present leaders is that they presume too
much on the ignorance of the public.
The people of Kansas are intelligent
and can be convinced by fair argument
but they can not be deceived by forgery
and tricks.''

DEMOCRATS, this is the year to put
the final stamp of determination on
the gone out party; let no republican
escape; vote the ticket straight from
Cleveland to road overseer. There are
no better candidates in the field than
those ON the democratic ticket, and a
democrat who will scratch one of them
should not be considered "straight" in
politics. The complaint of few who
have personal grievances against a
candidate, is not just cause for you
to scratch that candidate if you have
no proof that he is incompetent or un-
qualified to fill the Office. The howl
sent up by the republican county press
that some of our candidates are young.
or have not lived in the county from
away back to the time of the food, is
senseIess and unreasonable. We have
not a candidate on the democratic ticket
but who has faithfully earned his resi-
dence and right to your support by
hard work for years in the county.

Of the publie school question, the prin-

issue was brought before the people
last summer by the school board in the
removal from the public schools OF =

was appointed 70 prepare a list Of
school committee members that
