The Wellington Monitor has bad
case of sore head. In one place it abuses
Mrs. Lease in such language as no de-
cent paper would publish. Then il
abuses Jerry, and says: THE people OF
Medicine Lodge, who know his record
refuse to certify to his honesty or any
thing else, and democrats and republi-
cans alike will repudiate him at the
polls. The man who boasts the loudest
about his own honesty will always bear
watching" The Monitor is quite blind

To the Wichita Eagle: The follow
ing extract from your columns is a lie.
We have printed the true statement Of
ten enough for you to know the truth
if you wanted to know it: Jerry
Simpson who is posing as the laboring
mans friend, was one of the contrac-
tors for the construction of the water
works and sugar works canal at Med
icine Lodge. He hired men to work on
the job for the extremely low wages of
ninety-cents day, but before the job
was completed, fearing that his mar
gins would not be great enough, he
forced those d1ggers and shovelers
down to seventy five cents, their only
alternative being that pay or none at
all -

Mr.. Simpson, on Tuesday afternoon of
last week, addressed the largest politi-
cal audience ever gathered in Yelling
ton this year. The opera house was
crowed with farmers and business men
who listened eargerly for oyer two
hours to the powerful arguments of the
man Hallowell derided to very slim
audience some weeks ago. Simpson
made many friends and if indications
can be relied on Will receive a majority
over Hallowell in Sumner county IN

THE COUNTY DEPOSITS

EDITOR INDEX: The republican can
didate for prosecuting attorney is claim
ing great credit for his usefulness in
the matter of the bank deposits. He
says, II fought the battle; 1 brought
about the great saving to you, my be-
loved taxpayers" People are very for
getful, but let us bear in mind that Jerry
Simpson and few of his most intimate
friends began to agitate the matter
formed the Taxpayers League'-and
when public opinion became so strong
that Mr.. Cameron could no longer stand
the pressure, then latter A. J. Jones
had been appointed to assist him. he
moved in the case.
From all the circumstances it appears
as though the ring" expected 1t to be
stopped at once by the circuit Judge.
You will recollect the judge granted an
injunction. Then Jerry Simpson, as
chairman of the Taxpayers League, y
called mass meeting of the citizens at
the opera house. You will also remem-
Der that it was a rousing Indignation
meeting; and almost Immediately Cam
eron found that the people had a good
cause, and the victory was won.
Now, who saved the taxpayers this
money? Was it Cameron and his COL
leagues, or was it Simpson and his
friends? Every taxpayer knows. Let
us hold the republican speakers to the
truth. A VOTER.

Plumb voted against the final passage
of the tariff because he knew his vote
would not change the result. His vote
was the last one called. He has made
speeches against it, and then, when his
vote would have been OF value, he vot.

it in order to come home and blow
about it. Ingalls, was for it of course

The g. o. p. papers all over the dis
trict are saying that the city council of
Medicine Lodge are holding the Office of
city marshal vacant, waiting for Jerry
Simpson to return home and accept it.
The vacant" business is little rough
on two republicans who have tried to
fill the vacancy since Jerry left.

Wichita Beacon, Oct. 2: Jerry Simp-
son came in from Sumner county last
night and left to-day for Harvey coun-
ty. When the peoples candidate took
a seat at one OF the tables at the Occi-
dental hotel at an early hour this morn
Jerry Simpson, aud for a while every
eye in the room was turned upon him.
The republicans advertise Jerry so
much by calling him an "ourangout-
ang, monkey, anarchist, infidel" and
other eudearing names that everybody
wants to see him and hear him speak.
When Mr.. simpson took his place at
the table this morning his open counte-
nance and honest face was picture of
health. His silver framed spectacles
gave dignity TO his appearance, and
on all sides were heard favorable COM
ments of the farmer candidate. The
Hallowell managers, in this city who
started in to elect their man by ridicul-
ing Jerry Simpson, have given up the
idea and are getting down to solid
work. They have found out that the
farmer from Barber county is no ordi-
nary opponent, and that their first mis-
take was in undressing Jerry Simpson
The crowds that greet the peoples can
didate wherever he goes has been sur
prise to the Hallowell managers and
they are thinking seriously of bringing
both Plumb and ingalls, into the dis
trlct to try and head off Honest Jerry
Simpson. When Mr.. Simpson came
out of the dining room this morning a
representative Of the Beacon had an
opportunity to talk with him. Mr..
Simpson said he was in excellent health
but a little hoarse from continued
speaking in the open air.

for his hypocritical vote against the

gals who voted for it. The Eagle
