POLITICAL GOSSIP
A meeting of the Repu blican central
committee of this county. held last Satur-
day, fixed Sept. "A as the date for the
county convention. The enthusiasm mani
tested at this meeting gave evidence that
kingman county Republicans have on
their war paint and have started in the
work to redeem kingman county with an
earnestness that will bring success.
The Republicans of kingman. are max
ing preparations for a torchiignt procession
next Tuesday night. They nave Il march
ing club III this city over two hundred
strong.
When chip Mckinley speaks in Wichi-
ia, next month, Wichita Republicans may
make calculations to receive a monster
delegation from this city. kingman Re-
publcans are true admirers of the gen.
uine tariff reformer."
A., oS -,
word from the Republican state commit
tee that he is billed for ten or twelve
speeches in the eastern part of the state.
Mr.. Ashbaugh is an interesting speaker
and a good campaigner.
The one thing which seemed to worry
Simpson the worst during the time he was
speaking last Wednesday was the large
number of badges on coat lapels in the
crowd with s.Stand up for Kansas print
ell on them. Speaking of them he assert
ed: Every man who has one of them on
Is boodler, and Is standing around wait
ing for his share of the Doodle, just like
little dog which is trained will stand on his
hind feet and wait for piece Of meat to
be dropped in his mouth" Then he soar
ed way up on one of his dramatic oratori-
cal flights and asserted: 81 am no boodler,
and II | had one Of them contemplate
little yellow ribbons On | would tear 1t off
and stamp II in the ground" This out
burst from Jerry was followed by Hit
'em agin" from an enthusiast of the CAL
amity party that allows his wife to wash
for money to buy him things to eat and
wear, and u faint clapping of hands in the
audience. But no converts were made nor
were any yellow ribbons stamped under |
foot.
During the whole of the two hours |
Simpson consumed in his talk not one |
sound logical sentence dropped from his |
lips, and it was painfully evident to his |
friends the he feels his race is nearly run, |
and that soon the places which now know |
him will know him no more |
A gentleman who was on The train with |
Simpson on the run from Wichita to King. |
man last Tuesday night informs the writer |
that at every station between these points !
when the train stopped he (Simpson) would |
stick his head from the car window, wave
a little flag held in his hand. and say:
Here we are boys. Hurrah for Jerryr'
W hen the train stopped ut this city Simp-
sou stepped on the platform and in low
tone exclaimed, "Hurrah for Jerryi" before
anyone had even addressed him. This is
sta tesmanship(?).
The writer heard three different voters
who supported Simpson two years ago.
md who had been acting with The calamity
,arty up TO last Wednesday, assert, after
listening to Jerry's harangue, that they
we're done and would vote for Long in No

Mr.. Leeds, the fusion candidate for state
enator in this district is very bright
nan. In his speech, preceding Mr.. Simp-
on's last Wednesday, speaking of taxes
lie SAID: Our officers are collecting 81 per
cent interest on taxes, while the statute
provides that 10 per cent is the highest
interest which can be collected. This i'm
position can be stopped right away by "A
process of habeas corpus" said the would
,e senator. 'and if | am elected | will
i've attention to it," He did not say
whether it was the habeas corpus or the
interest he intended to open up on, and
ne Republicans believe that Jim Kelly
will prevent the people from finding out
