Because . man sbuses bis neighbo- -
. thief and O liar are we to take II FOR
granted that he himself L. an angti Of
light?
If Mr.. Allen wants to have any
votes at all he would better not tax
Mr.. Stewart around with him, f.
people will be asking why Stewart
not the candidate instead of ALLIE, ;.
Stewart got up more enthusiasm II
two minutes than Allen had evoked
by his entire speech. Not because he
says anything but because he says it
better.
Mr.. Allen has been In the campaign
since July. 1t is no wonder that
man who has been spreading himself
over the District that length of time
should be exceedingly thin in spots.

From the very beginning this CAM
paign has been one Of slander on the
part of the Peoples party in this
county. Its speakers have gone about
charging the Republican party with
having plundered and enslaved the
people, charging our county officials
with theft, and abusing Republicans
high and low with all sorts of in
famous accusations. 1t has not mat
tered that there was not q word of
truth in it all. They have not in
quired for the truth. They have re-
fused to abide by the truth when it
was shown them, but have kept on in
their campaign of detraction and mis-
representation and calumny. Loudly
proclaiming IL to be their mission to
"purify politics" they have injected
more slime and mud into the politics
of this county than any other party
which ever had an existence here.
And today 1t Is that mud and slime
upon which they are basing all their
hopes of success. Will the self-re-
specting people of Allen county help
to realize hopes that spring from such
q source?
Out at Moran the small boys have
de-Horned the name Of the Democratic
Peoples candidate for county attor-
|ney.

If there is one candidate on the Re-
publican ticket who deserves an cleo
tion by bigger majority than any
other, 1t is Ed. II. Barber. Thorough
ly trained and educated at the best
school in the State for the work, he
has administered the Office with
matchlees skill and untiring energy.
Under his guidance, for the first time,
our country schools have been graded
and the work In each reduced to what
may be called a system. Nearly all
our country schools now follow uni
form course Of study so that pupil
moving from one district to another
may begin where he left off. And
the credit for this improvement be-
longs to Mr.. Barber. Not only has he
done this but by his educational ad-
dresses In every district he has aroused
the interest OF parents, pupils and
teachers in school matters so that
they all work together to secure better
results. Miss Featheringill Is most
estimable young lady, but her best
friend will surely not claim for mo-
ment that she could step into the Sup
erintendent's Office and do anything
like the work for our schools that Mr.,
Barber has done and can do. Mr..
Barber should have practically
unanimous reelection.

Of Kansas just thirteen months.
| Would he not better get acclimated
before he is put into office?
Capt. Ewing's advice to the Board
of County Commissioners has always
been conservative and safe, and in
the line Of the greatest economy. He
has involved the county i'm no expen-
siye litigation, but has faithfully
guarded the interests of the people at
every point. He has fairly earned a
reelection.
Some Of the Peoples orators have
been proclaiming through this county
that on account Of the exception clause
in the new silver bill, the loan COM
panies are now requiring all their
mortgages to be payable in gold. 1t
is not true, as the following statement
will show:
lola, KAN, Ocr. Is, 1S0O.
To rhom u may concern:
This is to certify that we have written no
both principal and Interest are to be- paid In gold
and that our companies have not authorized US
to make such changes tsIasEnl;

So much for that question. We
want to say, however, that If the fiat
money schemes ofthe People financiers
should be carried out it would be but
q mighty little time until q clause re-
quiring payment in gold ,oould be put
In the mortgages.

Mr.. Power was careful always In
introducing Mr.. Stewart to say that
he was the State Secretary of the +,
NJ. b. A. 1t was Q very palpahle Of.
fort to leave the impression that this
organization stood sponsor for and
was identified with the peoples party.
How do the Republican members Of
the organization like 1t?
Granting even that the employment
of additional counsel was q reflection
on the ability of Capt. Ewing as an
attorney, d9es any one honestly be-

When Thos. Bartlett was perambu-
lating the country in the old Green
back days, the burden of his song was
the "OIigarehy," and so it came to
pass that the boys called him "Old
bligarchy,H and he went by that
name for q long time. 6n the same
principle 1t Is suggested that MI.
Allen be called "Old Plutocracy.n
