REsUBMIssION.

The Alliance Advocate, of Topeka,
the paper which has made the hardest
fight for the peoples party, and which
is looked to as authority by the peoples
movement, will this week contain an
editorial on the question of resubmis-
sion, which states that, as The people
have had the matter of prohibition so
thoroughly discussed during the late
campaign they ought now to be in a
condition of mind to vote intelligently
on the matter, and that there certainly
is at least a respectable minority of the
voters of the state who desire to have
the question submitted to the people
Independent of any other election and
settled once and for all by the ballot.
The Advocate charges the managers
of the republican party in Kansas as
being insincere in their alleged love for
the prohibitory law, and only espousing
that cause for party purposes. The
whole drift of the editorial would lead
one to believe the paper in favor of re-
submission of the question to the peo-
pie at an early date.

1t is claimed by republicans that Hal
lowell was elected and will be counted
in owing to the fact that Simpsons
name was printed on democratic tick
cts, he not having been nominated by
that party. The Kansas laws hold it
to be fraud to print the name of a
candidate on a ticket of another party.

soft-brained enough to get any temper

of the above item, for the Lords sake
let them get it, they are indeed objects
OF. pity and compassion. Jerry Simp-
son was endorsed by the democrats of
this district as fairly and honestly as
any man was ever endorsed or nomi-
mated for any Office, and all such stuff
as the above paragraph is only so much
buncombe to tickle the weak minded
and One-idead party slave.

Where the Saints DWELL"

1t was our pleasure, Monday Of this
week, to tread the asphaltum streets of
the city where the saints in politics are
reported to dwell, the joint be-
sprinkled, prohibition town of Topeka.
1t was a cloudy, murky day, and the
sun seemed to kindly hide behind the
clouds in order that it might not cast
too full light upon the dropping heads
and glum faces of the so-called 'saints"
that dwell there and essay to shape the
politics of the state. By dilligent man.
euvre we headed off several of the
tribe of Humphrey and engaged them
for while in confab. But only for a
while; their tales of woe were distress
ing; their chagrin was written too
plainly on their down cast faces to
make a contemplation of them pleasant.
One said that dire destruction would
fallow in the wake of the ascendency of
the ''hayseeds;" that the beloved east
ern capitalist would withdraw his
money from our state and refuse to let
the hungry (and sometimes lazy) loan
agent make per cent. out of it.
Another, with face as long as the
late republican platform, asserted that
Kansas would never again be heard
from in the halls of congress If the great
(but gassy) Ingalls, should lose his sena-
tOrial job, while still another thought
the farmers, when they got into session
in the state legislature would give an
anarchistic tendency to the whole state
machinery. And we Listened to their
tales of VICE." and smiled.
We smiled to think what asses they
were making of themselves before an
humble country editor who knew that
the real cause of their woe was the
thought that they would lose various
fat jobs which they had thought they
held a mortgage on; smiled to think
that their very scheming and planning,
and trigger-fngering was the cause of
the discharge of the blnnderbuss that
knocked them into despondency. We

L. B. Coss. who has been in the east
ern part Of the state for sometime past,
returned home just i'll time to vote for
the gallant Jerry.
Our friend "Buckeye's'' foresight
was not so bad after all. We would

order to scan the returns in Buffalo.

have been running sheep ranch in

THE LATEST.

On the result of the gubernatorial
election in Kansas the latest informa,
ton we are able to receive does not set
tie the matter yet to the satisfaction OF
all parties.
The Hutchinson News OF Wednes-
day claims the election of Humphrey
by 1900 majority. This authority is
from the republican state central COM
mittee. The News says that Garfield,
Stanton, Haskell and Logan counties
are yet to hear from. Official returns
are received by the secretary of state
from but forty counties, and he expects
to begin the tabulation of the official
returns, this Thursday.
On the other hand, Chairman Chase
of the peoples party still claims that it
a fair count is had Willis will have a
good majority. He does not see why
there is so gfeat delay in getting in
the Official returns, and openly charges
that there is every appearance of elk
ing' going on. A number of the repub-
lican managers have been taking special
trains to different parts of the state,
and the telegraph Adres have been kept
hot by the Humphrey followers. A
careful watch is being kept for evi :
dences of fraud, and if anything of the
kind has been attempted and is dis
covered there will be trOublous times
for the g. o. D.

WON'T some of the ''prince's'' friends
write to him and tell him he might sub
nit to Congressman Jerry, that "bill"
he had already prepared to introduce
into congress, the one, you know, which
was to get ''$1OO for every old soldier
in Kansas" If there is really any
merit in it, we know Jerry will discover
it; and will do what he can for the old
soldiers. Lots of them voted for him.

A year ago the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company sold all its lands
in Barnes county TO the Minnesota
and Dakota Land and Investment
Company. There had been scarcely
any demand for these lands for some
time, owing to the depression in farm
ing and short wheat crops. During the
past few weeks Clark & Barclay, the
agents for the land company at VAL
ley City, have made numerous sa)es,
aggregating in value about $la,o 900
Ia fact that that is a good index to
the improved condition of things in
North Dakota and the hopeful feel
ing of the farmers. All these sales
were made to settlers already estab-
lished in the county who find that
they need more land. Many Of the

Geo. E. Bowers, editor of the
Hillsboro Banner, is to be put up by
the republicans of Trail county as
candidate for state superintendent
schools for North Dakota. Mr..
Bowers is we'll qualified for the posi-
ton and inasmuch as the newspaper
fraternity is not represented on the
state ticket, it would be a graceful
act for the republican state conven-
ton to nominate him. The news
papers have to do lots Of work dur
ing each successive campaign and
certainly ought to receive just recog-
nition. We are for Geo. E. Bowers.
Put 'er thar, old man, may you come
out on top.
