Hold on there,
Old Boy.
The people Will
run this election.
Give tn, Young
republicans a
chance.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
Democratic maragers throughout the
country will not misconstrue the advan-
tages which they gained Tuesday in the
elections. They will make serious mis-
take if they treat their succe sses simply
as party victories and ignore the condi-
tions which led to them. The Demo
cratic gains of Tuesdays elections are
due in the main to the growth of popular
sentiment IN favor of reforming the tariff.
This issue was made conspicuous in the
Ohio platform, and it has been intel
ligently discussed in Iowa 1t Is the only
issue upon which the Democratic party
can base its hopes for future triumph.
The result of Tuesdays vote does not in
dictate at any point return of popular
confidence in the old methods or the old
principles of the Democratic party. At
some points the liquor question In one
form or another exerted some influence
but for the most part the struggle was a
continuation of the war against excessive
taxation, the alarm of which was sounded
by Grover Cleveland in his famous mes
sage to congress.

Our Ticket.
The following was composed by Mrs
W. F. Petition and sang at the Belle Lit
erary last week. but handed in to lat

Good evening friends and neighbors,
We greet You with good ch, er-
And whether on or side or not,
Weer glad to see you here.
Before the year is over,
Well show you what well do,
And If You are good democrats,
So much the better for you.
Now we would like to mention
A few good men and true.
Who are on orr County Ticket
And mean to see her through.
There's II. Il. Bell for sheriff.
We'er sure he can't be beat,
And Geo. Il. Cox for treasurer,
They never will defeat
Then for our Register of Deeds,
Judge Beverley's the man,
And Potter III for county clerk,
just beat that if you can.
Then Harris swings up into line,
Surveyor he will be,
With DR. Wade for corner,
What better can you see.
Last but not least comes Hoover
For our commissioner
You cannot find q better one,
OF that you may DC sure.
Hurrah for our new candidates,
We greet YOU ell tonight,
With courage and good principal
We'cr bound 10 win the fight.
CHoUEs.
EIurrah for Cox and Beverley,
They go in without any noise;
Uurrah for Bell and Potter,
For they belong TO the boys.
Hnrrsh for Wade and Harris,
They viii create stir;
HarTah for Geo. ". Hoover,
Our next commissioner.

For woman. like this question which
Has reused her to the highest pitch,
Is only side issue.
The election in Ford county passed
off very quietly, and the returns from
the out side precincts were slow in COM
ing in, but when they did arrive the
vote showed that the people through
out the county were with the people Of
Dodge City and that the entire Demo-
cratic ticket was elected with the ex-
ception of Judge II. NJ. Beverley. who
was defeated by a small majority. 1t
was truly a peoples election on that
platform of ''The most competent men
are Titled to hold our county Offices. -
Such men as Cox, Bell, Hoover and
Potter we're impossible to beat, and
THE TINES, although alone in the fight
against all the other county papers,
fought the battle on the principal Of
right" and the people CALAMITY sup

make agricultural products to sell.
By contracting the circulating me-
dunn the banking fraternity make
their dollars more valuable. BY
organization farmers can and should
make their crops more valuable
should demand and receive a fair
margin of profit on their invest
nent to raise farm products. This
can not be done except by united
action.
He advised farmers against bor-
rowing money from loan companies
and mortgaging their homes to pay
it back. The rates are ruinous, and
it is hazardous in the extreme.
Beside it is feeding the money
power, who by this lending bust
ness are gradually and surely secur-
ing control of all the land in the
country, and fast approaching the
landlord system in England and
Ireland. Every day farmers are
swallowed up in this Maelstrom of
the monopolists. He warned them
against vassalating and temporiz-
ing with bankers and spectators.
They are united for self protection,
and should demand and force the
exchange buyers and dealers to
give fair margin on farm pro-
ducts. The demand for cotton is
steadily increasing, and the fluctua-
tions of the culture" and spot
market is unreal and dishonest. It
is simply the pulse beat, showing
the doubts and fears of spectators.
The time was when chattel slaves
titled our broad acres. Now all
farmers are fast becoming wage
workers, who feed and clothe them
selves and still earn as much for
their masters, as did the former
chattel slave who had his clothes
furnished by the master. Our
farmers should become skillful in
the sale of their products as well
as in their production. Skill to
sell is more important than to pro-
duce. Any block-head laborer can
make bale of cotton, but it re-
quires intelligence to sell it for its
full value. Some persons are SIM
ply partners with a mule in the
production of a bale of cotton, and
after it is made they have to take
any price their owner sees fit to
give. Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty" in working and In
voting.
Mr.. Guice made an earnest plea
for education in its broadcast sense.
His speech was neatly interpreted
with gems of thought, historical
facts, humorous illustrations and
flights of ornate oratory, and both
himself and the gentleman who
proceeded him received hearty ap-
plause from the audience.

Chunks of Wisdom.

Chunks Of Wisdom.
State Lecturer 7. j. Guice, ac-
companied by Mr.. H. M. Sherwood,
of East Tennessee, prominent rep
resentatives of the Farmers Wheel
and Alliance organizations, arrived
in Colfax on last Monday, on their
way to attend the meeting of the
Grant Parish Farmers Union. At
the solicitation of the large number
of farmers in Colfax attending
court they consented to deliver a
public lecture, and by the courtesy
of the clerk and sheriff were given
the use of the court room for the
evening. President w. d. Irwin
called the meeting to order and
introduced the speakers.
Mr.. III. NJ. Sherwood reviewed
the benefits, objects and intentions
of farmers unions. Because they
were organized to promote and pro-
tect their own interests, and because
those interests might conflict some
what with the interests of others
is no criterion or reason to believe
that the organization is antagonistic
or intended to be hurtful to other
callings in life. All professions
and occupations are right and
proper in their places, and benefi-
cial to human happiness and pro-
gress, and each have rights which
should receive intelligent, respect
full and honest consideration. Ag-
ricultnre lies at the root of civili-
zation, but it is dependent and
interdependent upon the other call
ings, and farmers should therefore
proceed in all things on the broad
principle of Give and let live"
Manufacturers, miners. merchants
and farmers are alike entitled to
fair return upon their investments,
whether that investment be of
money or muscle, brain or Drawn.
The union is a business organiza-
ton, and it can only be successful
when conducted upon business
principles. The speaker paid his
respects to the obstructionists and
GROWERS that creep into and afaict
the union with their meanness and
stinginess. He characterized them
as cranks that should be severely
set down on. They see Uncle Billy
on the barn, but they can't see the
barn itself. They see the dues and
expenses of maintaining the organ
ization, but they are too dull and
contemplate to appreciate and ac-
knowledge the benefits and advan-
tages they derive from the organi-
zation. They wish to use the order
to give vent to their own spleen
and venom, and keep up a perpetual
turmoil in trying to do 20. The
speaker is of pleasing address, and
at times was quite witty and
humorous. He closed with an
earnest appeal for unity among the
brethren, cautioning them to re-
member at all times that they were
organized for business and not for
fighting.
State Lecturer T. j. Guice was
then introduced, and proceeded at
once to slice off chunks of wisdom
to his hearers. ain union there is
strength" This is true intellect
ually, morally, socially, politically
and financially. There is more or
less organization in every line of
life business, trades, professions,
etc.-and it has been found neces-
sary in order to meet and counter
act the chicanery and aggressions
of the "trusts" and combinations
of the money power, represented
