his ticket with none to molest Of annoy.
The republican party is opposed to the
system, because wherever it has been
tried thus far it has shown that the
democratic party has gained votes and
the republican party has lost.
BLAINE tells Harrison's managers
that he, Blaine, is not in condition to
make speeches this campaign. After
election when little Ben is knocked
out Big Jim will be in much better
condition-and the fellows who are now
making speeches will be laid up.
DON'T blame the damphool course of
the Topeka Democrat too much to
Charley Holiday. He is absent at
Chicago, under an appointment OF
Governor Humphrey, and the Democrat
is under the management of Crouch.

EVERYBODY in the third commits

competent, careful, capable and honest
gentleman represent that district on

him on the 9th of November and you
will never regret it.
THE action of the ''stalwarts" at To-
peka disgusted the editor of the Salina
Herald. He Immediately went home
and hoisted the ticket made by the
democrats in July. The county CEN
trail committee also fell in line, and
endorsed the peoples party ticket from
top to bottom. The attempt to sell the
democrats to the republican party will
work the same all over the state.
THE democrats, apparently, are quite
confident of carrying Indiana this year.
1t is stated that recent republican poll
of the state shows a small plurality for
the opposition. The democratic organ
ization, under the managemento Of Chair
man Taggart, is quite complete. There
is considerable disaffection among re-
publicans who supported Harrison four
years ago under promises of reward
which have not been redeemed.
DEMOCRATS of Barton county, make
no pledges that you may possibly re-
gret before election day. The g. o. p.
(propely interpreted "Greedy old Par.
ty'') is becoming desperate, and its ad-
vocates will be promising everything
in order to gain the day this year. Re-
member the past and cast an eye into
the future. Remember that democracy
has ever stood up for the rights of the
laboring man and the producer, while
the republican party has trampled upon
those rights and prostituted the govern
ment to the advantage of the rich ma
bobs who in turn furnish campaign
funds to their political tools. Look
into the future, and you will see that
only the democratic party will be found

EVIDENCES are daily accommodating
that the railroads are managing and
manipulating the strings to defeat
Jerry Simpson and elect Chester 1.
Long. at the railroad center, for
instance, there is much activity and
lots of republican money to bet on
Long, and false reports are being
spread broad cast that Jerry has given
up hopes of carrying his district and
gone out of it in disgust. Every pos
sible device is being worked to" o"hoodoo''
democrats from supporting him, but
all efforts will be unavailing. A friend
of high tariffs, corporate robbery and
force bills, Long should not receive the
support of single democrat in this
county when there is candidate in
the field opposed to all of them, and
that is where Jerry Simpson stands
Lyons Democrat.
WITH Kansas grain fields averaging
eighteen bushels per acre, and the de-
posits in the various banks of the state
increasing two million dollars in the
past three months, there need be no
fear that eastern capital will refuse to
seek legitimate Investment in the state
because the common people are striving
to overthrow republican ring rule in
the interest of monopolies and corpor-
