SOLOMON CITY, Kansas, Octo-
Der 3O.-[special correspondence
The melancholy days have come, the
saddest of the year. This applies par
ticularly to the democratic candidates
as their bright roseate tinted hopes OF
an Office at the hands of the people fade
unto the misty mist of the unattainable
this year. The misrepresentation
and sophistries which they have laid
awake nights to concoct in the interests
of their party, have been laid away with
the Galloway mortgage circular and the
resubmission dodge where they Will
remain until some time far into the
hence of Edward Bellamy's future,
they will be dragged forth, brushed on |
and exhibited to the wondering inhabl- |
tants of that Utopian period as a relic
of a dark age of the past. We hasten to
remark that Mr.. Bellamy never con-
templated the existence of democrat
in that happy stage of the worlds pro-
gress.
A DEMOCRATIC DODGE.
It's truly remarkable now to note the
lofty contempt which our leading DEM
ocrats manifest toward partisan ques-
lions and influences and how truly
solicitous they are for manifestation
of a non-partisan spirit in electing
county officers. They are especially
industrious in extorting republicans to
exemplify their devotion to this idea by
eecting a democratic county ticket
this fall just to show their freedom
from aspirit of party prejudice. 1haVe
been young and now am old and have
never yet seen a solitary scion of that
inoccuous organization manifest his
sentiments in like nanner by support
ing tue republican ticket. However,
my individual reflections can not inter
est you. You may, though, be inter

usually attending the elections in an off
. year are going to affect the vote in Sol
= Omon.
FULL VOTE WANTED
1t is natural to anticipate falling
off in the general vote at such times as
there are no vital issues at stake.
Nevertheless it is urgent that every. Tt
e publican should recognize the impor-
q lance of casting his vote and influence
IL ing indifferent neighbors to do likewise.
+ The result of each election influences
J. the next one and while he may not ap-
preciate the Importance of his duty in
:, this direction the opposition is fully
alive to it and is scducing the voters by
such arguments as There is no poll
re tics in this election, no vital question
le involved, complimentary vote" etc.
in There is every reason to believe that
ne no republican in Lincoln township will
he disregard his duty next Tuesday. We
were never more harmonious and
united than at the present time, and
7 never had we ticket combining in a
greater degree all the elements of
strength and worth.
l' ABLE CANDIDATES.
ie Sturdy, uneompromising Farmer
d Nixon is well-known here and his worth
, has been recognized by all. No one
&c questions the certainty of the re-elec-
b. ton of Naill, Bert and Nichols whose
majority will exceed that of 'S7. Dave
:, Naill's duties in the performance of his
l official function has called him to ou1
city frequently during his term of office
a and the effectual manner in which has
n discharged them has elected the warm
l. support of many who had opposed him.
rs am not making recommendation to
n suffrage, l am simply stating tacts.
= Mike Bert and Walter Nichols have in
If sured their success by record in Office
showing themselves capable and cor
teous in the performance of their duties
3 and their popularity has steadily in
creased.
HOOVER AHEAD.
$ Regarding Mr.. Hoover's candidacy,
e the democrats are centering all the
/ force of their opposition upon him. All
= the the tricks of deceit and misrepre-
e sentation to which democratic duplicity
c can resort will be marshalied in this
b contest. The abilene Ring dodge
has been fished out, rehabilitated, and,
invested with tin sword, is trOtted up
, and down to brighten the armies of
1 Israel. 1t is an insult to the intelli-
gence of the voters TO waste space ex-
posinglthe fallaey of such futile argu-
ments. 1t is unnecessary to compare
the qualifications of the two candidates
for the Office of commissioner of the
Third district. Mr.. Hoover superior
ity is recognized by everyone. AS re-
publicans our duty is clear. Mr..
Hoover is our candidate. Nominated
squarely and unanimously in one of
the most enthusiastic and harmonious
conventions of the year held in our own
