A SURE WINNER.
If Republicans Vote There is No
Question About the Elec-
ton Of Cox.
The 0pposition's Only Hope is to feign In
difference and Work Like Fury.
Every Republican Should Come Into Line
and Vote Straight and Early.

If the Republicans of Wichita will do
their duty today, the entire Republican
ticket will sweep the city like a prairie
fire.
At the elections held in the third class
cities all over the state yesterday, the Re-
publicans won the fight everywhere aud
In many places made unparalleled gains.
The only hope of the fusionists in Wich-
tia is to feign Indifference and work like
fury. BY this means they have a bare
hope of winning The program is to
acknowledge the defeat of their ticket
early in the day so as to make the Repub-
licans work less and in the mean time
their strikers and hee,ers will be showing
in every vote at their command. 1t is
| their intention to vote every member of
of their party, both men and women.
Governor Lewelling has been in the city
two days and during all this time-in-
/ Guiding Sunday-he has been cioSeted
with the politicians of both the Demo
cratic and Populist parties. He is very
anxious about the result, and while he
has no hope that the fusion ticket will
win yet, he hopes that by some shrewd
political tricks, the majority of the Re-
publican ticket can be brought below the
majority given Farmer Smith last fall. II
this is done he viii be in position to say
and boast that his '-Gattling Gun" adj
ministration WAS Endorsed by Wichita.
The determination of every Republican
should be then to increase the ma jority to
200 today and leave no doubt upon the,
minds of the people of the state as to the
feelings Of the people of Wichita on the
subject.
The best way to accomplish signal
triumph today is to go to work early and
not cease working for a moment till the
polls are closed at night. 1t is especially
necessary to get out the female vote early.
The fusionsts will try aud divert the at
tention of the Republicans in many ways.
and the utmost caution and watchfulness
is necessary. They will try hard to cap
ture the Fifth, Sixth and Third wards,
and the Republicans of the voting pre-
cincts in these portions of the city should
he on the alert all day and not let posi-
BILE vote escape them. In short, as before
stated, every Republican should constitute
himself committee of one to see that the
entire Republican ticket is elected and the
fusionists buried so deep that there will
be no hope of resurrection for them.
If any lady is intimidated by the police
from voting she should at once report the
matter to Republican headquarters, no
matter what her politics may be or
how she intends voting. and they
will respect her rights, for the
Republicans are determined that this
shall be fair and square election and

Men will be placed at every polling
place by the Republican committee and
complaints will be made against any and
everybody violating the election law. Il
legal voters will be watched especially.
There is good reason to believe that pro-
lection has been promised to illegal voters
by the Fusionists who control the police
force, but men or women who depend on
this promised protection will 1nd them.

The Fusionists will not bet unless they
get tremendous odds.
The fusionists are making a desperate
effort to elect Johnny Ratliff constable
and are concentrating all their efforts
against Sam Jones. Sam Jones should

and will be elected without question.
John Martin is the target for every bit.
ter Demo-Pop in the Sixth ward. They
will try hard to down him by wilful mis-
representations and deliberate falsehood
but fortunately Johns record is so far be-
yond criticism that the more they lie
about him the faster he will run.
Two of the Demo Pop candidates have
been trying hard TO get off the track for
the past week or ten days, but the COM
mittee would not let them, saying that
new stampede OF designations would dis
organize the entire ticket. One OF them
sent his resignation three times to the
fusion organ but it was refused publica-
ton. He then started to the EAGLE Office
with it, but the committee almost went
down on their knees and begged him not
to do it.
j. X. Sawyer will be elected councilman
in the First ward without a doubt if the
Republicans will do their duty. He has

If they will turn out
John Adams is doing some first-class
work in the First ward. His work will
tell at the polls today.
j. II. Mccall, candidate for councilman

week and could not work as he desired,

been working for him, and the news of to-
