tends to the management oft himself.
He is also member Of the +. NJ. u. A.
Now, how can any member Of that as
sOciation. or farmer even, and espec-
tally a Republican, vote against
brother farmer and member OF the or
der, and for q man who lie neither
member nor farmer, and is In no way
better qualified for the office, and In
no sense, better man. There would
be no consistency in a vote of this kind
and we believe that very few, If any,
such win be cast.
T. r. Kstlew have never voted q
straight Republican ticket In my life,
but shall do 1t this year. am for
prohibition and the Republican party
Is the only party that saves ito Kan
sas this year. 1 hope and believe that
Gov. Humphreys majoity will be
100000.
When they tell you that the Mckin-
lev bill increases instead OF reduces
duties. and that it does nothing for
the western farmers, refer them to the
fact that it reduces the duty OH lumber
fifty per cent, that it reduces the duty
on binding twine to the faaction OF q
cent, and that It makes sngar duty
free.

A vote for Pearson is a vote for In
gals, the most brilliant man In the
United States Senate.

An Usage friend of ours bought
some tin plate the other day of a DEM
pcrat In Moran. The Democrat took
pains to tell him that he would be
Obliged to charge him 5S cents more
then the former price, on account Of
the Mckinley bill. Our friend hap
pened to have copy of that bill at
home and when he came to examine
Ii he found that the increased duty on
tin would have added just Is cents to
the quantity he bought. He found
also that this increased duty does not
go into effect until next Julyi The
next time he meets the Democratic
dealer in Moran there will probably
be an interesting seance.

We are glad to have found one thing
to pass to the credit of "Pap" Hay
ward: At Prairie Dell the other night
he said that the story about Pearson
having sold yellow corn for white,
was too silly q lie for anybody to be-
lieve.
A year ago the Republican members
of the F. NJ. b. A. were doubtless
largely In the majority. II they had
desired to do so they could doubtless
have controlled it in the interest of the
Republican party. But they did not
do it. They had joined 1t accepting
In good faith the declaration of its
founders that 1t was non-partisan,
business organization, and they were
too honorable to seek to drag it into
politics. Members of other political
parties were not SO scrupulous, how
eber. No sooner was the Peoples
party organized than its leaders went
to work to make it appear that this
party and the F. M. b. A. were the
aame thing. At every meeting of ev-
cry Lodge somebody was there to
make a harangue against the Repub-
lican party, and to argue that it was
the duty Of every member of the +.
M. b. A. to vote the Peoples ticket.
This has lasted all summer long. And
now one of our correspondents reports
that Deer Creek Lodge the other night
resolved itself into Peoples party
caucus and nominated a township
ticket! All of these things go to show
plainly enough that::the leaders of the
Peoples party are depending on the
+. NJ. B. A. for their success at the
polls. This being the case IL becomes
In our opinion the duty of every Re-
publican member of the order, to cast
his vote against the Peoples ticket.
Rebuke, by your votes, these schem-
ing shysters who have attempted to
prostitute your order to serve their
own selfish purposes. Show them
that you are not to be led around, like
a blind hog, by hook i'm your nose.
Sit down on them, and SIT hard.

A Peoples party man asked Mr..
Pearson the other day, 'How does it
come, Mr.. Pearson, that you were
with us [meaning the F. NJ. B. A
last summer and are now the candi-
date of the Republican party?" Mr..
Pearson replied very promptly that he
was as jealous a member of the F. NJ.
b. A. as he ever was but that he did
not promise when he entered the order
to renounce the political party to
which he had belonged all his life.
The question the man asked, however,
shows that In bis mind the +. NJ. b.
A. and the Peoples party are one and
the same thing.

J. B. Goshorn Is q stranger. We
believe his family, If he have any, are
not here. He has no property inter-
ests whatever, we are informed, i'm
the county. Nobody knows anything
about his habits, his personal charac-
ter or his professional ability. Why
then should he be elected to an i'm
portant and responsible office over q
man who mas lived here many years,
who has large property interests here,
whose character Is well known and
universally admired, whose profess
sional ability is everywhere reCog-
nized?
Who is running against Jacoby and
Arnold anyway?
