re FARMERS IN THE PEOPLES
PARTY.

In appealing to the farmers OF the
Peoples Party we do not mean to m
clude those farmers residing in Dodge
City who have heretofore engaged in
q. .litics ~ "A profession and who have
gone into this new party for the pur-
p..se uf furnishing it with leaders.
Neither do We appeal to those mem
bers attrncte,! by the hope OF
6ra gain and who at the same
time have Il feeling of sympathy for
the old ring because Of patronage now
icing enjoyed from that source, nor
to il, sc who fur any other cause are
:~n,,i.ierent as to whether the tax ab
,orbing combination shall renew its
lease Of power over Ford county.
We only desire to confer with those
who IRE tired of the ring rule. and
who feel that above every other con-
sideration is the necessity to divest
thai UBIQUITOUS combination of the op
por;unity to further plumber this
community. To such We win say tho

The Peoples Party ticket il COM

nothing ~ say except that must Of
their support is drawn from the Re
publican ticket. The recent loss which
Ford county has suffered by reason
Of the ring would make it utterly i'm
possible for the riDgsters to win
acre it not for this new factor which
tends to divide those who are opposed
t., them.
The candidates On the Republican
t:cke ct are i'll every instance good men.
Neither one of them has ever before
been candidate for an office in Ford
county. Not an individual on the list
has been identified with or taken
any part i'll the support of the old
ring. Their success at this election
means the inter collapse of that plur-
1ering outfit. They are honest, capa-
bic men, each one peculiarly fitted
e. do the work Of the offices 10 which
they respectively aspire.
With reference TO the respective
strength of these three tickets we find
u.,"n careful canvass that there is not
t. exceed one hundred votes differ
nee in the numerical strength of
each, with the Republican ticket first,
the democratic or Cox dynasty CON
bination a close second, while the new
party will poll smaller vote than
either Of the others for the bulk If
their ticket.
The question which we wish to pro
pound to YOU of the third party is
whether yon consider it most desir-
able to hold together and tally as
many votes as possible, or to drop, fol
