Great Republican Rally!
HELD AT THE EAST END OF
THE COUNTY.
BARRELS OF ENTHUSIASM
SY THE CANDIDATES.
BENJAMIN S. WILLIAMS NOT
IN 1T.
BEESON, ARMENT AND SCOFFERN ON
THE GROUND EARLY.
THE PROCEEDINGS OPENED WITH
CORK SCREW.

Thursdsy of this week was the day ap
pointed b. the republican leaders to open
the campaign, and the extreme eastern
part of the county the place.
For several weeks preparations had
been going on upon a magnificent scale
for the great event Chalk .Beeson's 8
partner, one Beeler at Kinsley, had ar
ranged to have a wagon load of beer
dumped off at Kinsley. and ten hauled
over to Beelers place, in Ford county.
and, at an early hour, Beeson. Arment
and Bobby Scoffern were on the ground
to receive and distribute the campaign
document among the people. In harmo
nv with the intention Of the leaders to
slaughter Ben Williams, he was not in
vited.
After the meeting had been opened
with a cork screw, they revelled in Beer
to the right of them; beer to the left of
them; beer in front of them;" and when
night came, the field was strewn with the
gallant drunk.
Shame on set of men who pose as the
special guardians of the prohibition law
and, more particularly. the candidate for
sheriff. who, as an officer, would have
more to do with the enforcement of that
law than any other officer to be elected
this fall, trying to secure his election by
a wholesale violation of it. From our ad
vices from the neighborhood where this
disgraceful orgie was held, we are conf
dent that the time has gone by-if it ever
existed-when the voters can be fooled
by such grovelling tactics, and that the
more of such meetings that are held the
argeI will be the majority for the Peo-
ple's party.

PEOPLES PARTY PICNIC.
ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTY REPRESENTED
GREAT ENTHUSIASM. THE PEOPLES
PARTY IN SPLENDID TRIM, AND
EVERYBODY DEAD IN EAR

On Wednesday the first political meet.
ing of the Peoples party of Ford county.
was held in Dodge City. Owing to the
fact that it had been originally advertised
to be an out door picnic, together with
the fact that, for more than . week pre-
vious. the weather had been cc5i and
rainy, it was feare1. that many would de.
cline 10 come. But it seems that 1t re
quires worse weather than we have had
yet to prevent the members of the Peo-
pies party from showing their interest
in the work they have set out to do.
At an early hour the people began to
arrive, and. by noon. every part of the
county was represented. Owing to the
uncertainty Of the weather, the place of
meeting was changed to McCarty's Rink.
Here ample tables were prepared and the
good wives of the farmers spread boun.
tiful feast of which all who desired par
took and, with mirth and fun, passed an
hour or so in innocent enjoyment. At
2:3O the audience was called to order to
listen to the speakers who were present
to address the multitude.
The first speaker was Hon. NJ. C. Cal.
houn, our candidate for district Judge,
who, in q few, we'll timed remarks, clear.
ly convinced all who heard him that the
Peoples party had made no mistake in
nominating him for that important Office.
After him was introduced our own towns
man. Hon. B. F. Milton, who made the
principal speech of the afternoon. Bril-
liant and eloquent as he always is. Mr..
Milton, on this occasion, seemed to sur
pass even himself. crowding into q hours
speech whole volumes of fact and logic,
sufh cient to convince any reasonable
mind that the only relief tor the distress.
ed financial condition OF the country is
through the Peoples party. Mr.. Arts of
Garden City then made q few remarks,
which closed the afternoon programme.
In the evening the people gathered at
the rink again and. 20 much in earnest
and desirous to hear all that can be said
on the political issues are the people, that
many of the farmers, with their families,
remained until the evening meeting and
they were well repaid.
Upon the meeting being called to order,
Judge Calhoun was introduced and made
many friends by his calm, digniaed, man
ly talk. Then followed Mr.. Culver, our
candidate for register of deeds, who DEM
onstrated that, although q man may live
ON . farm and provide for himself and
family bv the labor of his own hands
yet that his head may be stored With use
ful knowledge and - c.s3ut.in clear ideas Of
."e s0'' ions that ought to exist between
labor and capital.
Then came the speech Of the evening
by Mr.. Arts, who for nearly two hour
held the an dance by the magic Of hi
burning eloquence while he rehearsed il
the most graphic manner the nnancla
history of the nation,
Beginning with 1850 he showed beyond
doubt that the financial legislation o
the country had been wholly in the In
terest Of the money power. The fact
and figures which he produced were o
convincing and startling as to surpris
all who heard him. Taking al togethe
the meeting was grand success.
