JERRY LOSES HIS TEMPER.
From the Dodge City Globe-Republican,

Jerry Simpson, ever since his attempt
to follow up Col. James r. Hallowe in
his tour over the western portion of the
district, finally has been brought to a
realization of the fact that his chances to
be elected from the Big Seventh are not
near so flattering as he had been lead to
believe when he first started out. He is
beginning to find out that the Democrats
of western Kansas are not for him, in
fact won't even tolerate the idea that it
was at all intended that they should be,
when their convention failed to put a
man in the field, and since Jerry dis
claims being a Resubmissionist we are
not in sympathy with him and he is not
of us, we know him not. This worries
Jerry and he has lost hope, making him
very bitter in his remuneration of all
those that in anywise oppose him, feeling
called upon to abuse the citizens of
Wichita and Dodge City, the former the
home of his opponent, Col. Hallowell,
and the latter the place where the Re
publican candidate received his endorse
ment as candidate for congress from
the people.
His effort now is to belttle the people,
irrespective of party, at the home of Col.
HallOwell, by calling them corrupt, "a
city reeking with corruption, everything
that ever emanated from them was cor
rupt," even carrying it so far as taking
it into the congressional convention held
in Dodge City, by saying that the most
corrupt thing ever Matched up by the
Wichita people was the nomination of
the prince for congress. A ffattering
compliment to Wichita and Wichita peo-
pie, isn't it? This made. as it is. in the
face of the fact that but twenty delegates
represented Sedgwick county, that the
district embraces thirty seven counties,
and the convention numbered one hun
dred and sixty-five delegates, the stigma
that Simpson charges, falls more heavily
upon the people outside of Wichita and
Sedgwick county than it does upon
Wichita itself. Every man in Sedgwick
county will take issue with Jerry on his
mouthings against those who reside in
one of the best counties in the state, who
have founded one of the greatest COM
mercial cities in all Kansas. who are
proud of their county and city and point
with pride to the great manufacturing
industries that surround them and the
public spirited men that made 1t posi-

ing to Jerry Simpsons statement. were
brought forth by people who were not
only corrupt, but reeking with corrup-
ton, since he stated that anything that
ever emenated from Wichita was rotten.
This corruption was carried into the
Dodge City convention, for he saws. that
the rottenest thing ever Matched was the
Republican nominee at Dodge City; so
he makes the indirect charge that all that
were there in attendance were equally
corrupt or rotten. We care not what
the people of Wichita may think OF do
about rebuking this foul Islander, but we
