WILLIAM BAKER, present con-
gresham from this Sixth district,
and candidate for reelection, spoke
at the court house last Saturday.
The crowd was very small, only
13 members of the peoples party be-
ing present, besides some republic
cans, a few democrats, and ladies,
and one or two estrays from Graham
county. Owing to other duties we
were prevented from hearing Mr..
Bakers remarks, and, not wishing
to make report from hearsay, we
refrain from making any comments
except to say that he was moderate
and conservative in his talk and did
not indulge in personal abuse. Mr..
Moody followed Mr.. Baker and
made the usual greenback talk.
Among other things he made the
oft repeated remark. and made it
decidedly emphatic, that there is
absolutely no such thing as over
production. If that statement is
true, then followed to its Legitimate
and logical conclusion, there can be
no such thing as the reverse in
other words there can be no such
thing as scarcity or failure Of
crops. One is just as true as the
other. The speaker stated further,
in this connection, that over pro-
duction never caused low prices, in
fact could not, as there was no such
thingIas over production. He
ignored entirely the memorable law
of supply and demand in governing
the price of produce. OF course he
didn't believe such nonsense and we
hardly think he seriously expected
his hearers to believe it. He also
made the oft repeated assertion that
the price Of labor was governed en-
tirely by the amount of circulating
medium. Every farmer in the

Two years ago in western Kansas
crops were light and there was no
scarcity of help at low wages.
Many could not get work in Trego
county at any price and were COM

during harvest, and even at the

are offered. Is this entirely the

travagant statements is always

The republican county conven-
ton, last Saturday, was a very
harmonious one throughout, all the
candidates, except for district clerk,
being nominated by reclamation.
For district clerk there were two
candidates, S. M. Hutzel, of Wa
Keeney, and D. B. Rogers, Of Glen
coe. The first two ballots resulted
in each candidate receiving II votes,
and consequently tie. On the
third ballot Mr.. Rogers received 10
votes and Mr.. Hutzel Is. Mr.. Hut
eel had many friends who desired
his nomination, but this being the
only Office asked for by an outside
township, this fact probably con-
tributed largely to the result. The
rest of the candidates are all SO well
known that we will not follow
established presidents in introdu-
eng them to the public. A. Fl.

county and is known By almost every

THE campaign in Kansas has de-
reloped an amusing phase, SO far as
the newspapers are concerned. The
discussion of issues and candidates
has largely given place to a fierce
dispute as to which party has the
larger attendance at its political
meetings. The size of political
meetings is an index to the state of
political feeling in a community
there is no doubt of that. But in
order to arrive at an intelligent de-
cision it is necessary to have reports
that are reasonably accurate. In
Kansas the marked falling off in at
tendance and enthusiasm Of fusion
list meetings, as compared with 1890
was literally commented upon by
the republicans. The fusionists, to
offset this practice, soon began to
praise their own and belittle The re-
publican assemblages. This had the
effect of squirting the republicans to
still stronger representations and
the fusionists kept pace, till now
the exaggerations are not only
laughable but highly ridiculous.
The results, last year, however, with
other well established facts, show
plainly enough that the republicans
are getting the best Of It. There is
plenty of ground to base predictions
of handsome republican victory in
November, but they do not include
these contradictory and absurd
newspaper reports as to attendance
ut public meetings.-K. C. Journal.
