Clay Center is the home of one Dawes,
He raves and snOrts and paws:
But he can't fool the voters,
Not even the flOaters,
This third-class expounder OF laws.
The Voice Of the People is a new pa
per just started at WaycroSS, Ga, to
do battle for the people in the "sOlid
SOUTH" 1t is an able and aggressive
recruit.
Jerry Simpson is not one of the
Masses" wrote a G. 0. p. editor. The
intelligent cOmpositor put the space
between the IN" and "a" in the two
last words and thus turned lie into
the truth.
One of the banners in the Wichita
Simpson parade read: "Stand up for
Kansas? You bet. She's a daisy.
She's ours" This was copied from
our editorial of two weeks ago and is
regarded as compliment. We are
the people.
The day following the Wichita rally
Simpson was greeted at Kingman by
an enthusiastic crowd Of 10000 peo-
pie. The meeting was repetition of
the Wichita rally only not quite so
large. The enthusiasm was as genu-
inc, however.
After all it may be admitted that
the rally Saturday was big thing for
the Republicans of today. Of course
it was not half so large as has been
held by them in former days, but it
must be remembered that the party
is not now half so large.
At an alleged Republican ratifca.
tiOn meeting at Denver Saturday
night, Senator Teller insulted his
audience because of the continued
cheers for free coinage. Seeing what
a mistake he had made, he apOlOgized
for losing his temper. Teller is now
a Gcdd eUcS III the pit.
The Democrats of the state have
organized and are taking steps for al
active campaign in the interest of the
Peoples ticket. As in Colorado, the
handful of 'straight-Outs" who art
aiding the gOldbugS and plutOcrats
are not in it. Judge John Martin viii
probably speak in Wellington soon.
If the speeches at the rally Satur
day proved anything they proved tha
the Republicans are now the boss ca
lamity hOwlerS. To believe thes,
speakers is to admit that Kansas il
eternally ruined if the Republican
party is not continued in power. Bur
: they will never make people be
lieye it. They know better.
| 1t is quite noticeable that the G. 0
p. editors make no attempt to defenC
the records of their candidates. D,
they think it would rebound to tn
fair name of Kansas for the people t,
elect men to Office whom members o
their own party denounce as thieves
gamblers, drunkards and characterl es
rascals? We pause for an answer.
In our rush last week we overlooke,
acknowledging the receipt Of Cald
wells new daily paper, the Morntns
Breeze. 1t starts out with a goo
showing of local advertisements an
well filed local columns and has ever
indication of being prosperous. F. G
