THK ROODLE TALK.

Mr.. Ingalls, certainly has q hight 10 be candi-
date for reelection, and because no does not
claim enough votes at present 10 elect him Is no
reason no should be charged with c0rruptnOtIces
In continuing In the race.
Mr.. Ingalls, friends claim that he has seventy
four votes 10 start IN with, and they expect 10
gain legltimately and honOrably enough more
/ votes 10 win.
The republican party will allow no Doodle cam
paIgn. II cannot afford II.
The NelOs fayOrs Senator Ingalls, return tOthe
Senate, and will assist In every possible hOnOra-
Bile way 10 bring II about, but u will work Just as
hard 10 prevent any corruption on either side.
Senator Ingalls, may be defeated, and the NelOs
hopes he win be II no can only be elected through
the corrupt use OF money But there are other
things IN this fight Just 40 bad as "Ingalls mon
ey, and they are the criminal threats against
the life OF any alliance man 'whO should dare
vote for Ingalls," n an alliance man should
| prefer ingalls, TO the man put forward by the
| peoples party, then he has right 10 vote for
him.
For instance, two leading alliance men said TO
the writer thls week that n Click or "Old man
Rice" we're agreed upon by their party they
would vote Tor ingalls, straight. These men will
be as good as their word and no threats against
their life or committees OF spies sent 10 watch
them would change their course q hair-breadth
should Click or Rice be nominated.
While there we're doubtless some men elected
who would prefer anybody to ingalls,, there we're
others who no doubt feel 80, and and II is per
iectly legitimate for Mr.. Ingalls, friends 10 make
the most OF all such situations.
A candidate who would not 20 into a cOnyen.
tlon because he did not have enough votes on the
first ballot would be little less than coward,
Mr.. Ingalls, Is no coward.
He will win. -Hutchtnson EclOo.
The foregoing double-leaded edi-
torial Of eleven paragraphs from
Ralph M. Easley's paper-in the is
sue OF day after Thanksgiving
should receive more than a passing
notice from respectable journals in
Kansas.
Upon the hypothesis that nothing
from an Ingalls, henChman need Cre-
ate surprise, the foregoing twaddle
might be tolerated, when it is consid-
cred that mental and moral decay is
almost an inevitable sequence OF be-
ing a slavish votsry Of ingalls,.
Let the reader but notice the two
sentences that make the first para
graph of Easley's editorial, and then
consider what manner Of spirit the
man is of who could obtain his full
consent TO interjeCt it upon bis read
ers as a STARTER" for his sage con-
clusion, "He will win," which is his
last paragraph.
The'two following paragraphs Of a
sentence each speak of the right of
Mr.. Ingalls, and the claim made by
his friends 'that he has seventy-four
votes to start in with, and chat they
expect TO gain legitimstely and hon
orably enough more votes to win"
'He has seventy-four votes" Why,
Mr.. Easely is not brave enough to
give the names Of siEty-four men--at
the outside--who are willing to be
advertised as supporting Ingalls, as a
fourth term candidate for re-elec-
tion.
An honest, intelligent man in Kan
sas, who has studied the political
complexion of the Kansas Legislature
OF 1891, has no idea that Ingalls, can
