Prepared TO Stand Up for Wichita-Ths
Present situation Demands that all
Who Want to Do Some Rebuking Must
be Thoroughly Armed, for Hard Blows
Much be Struck for wicbita-A Few
Words About the Situation.
Every friend of the friends Of this
town who is not registered should go TO
the city clerks office today and see
that his name is on the registration
books. They may think at this time
that they have nothing to vote for, and
this refers to Populists and Democrats
who have no ticket representing their
principles, exclusively, but they have
Wichita to vote for. Cardinal Richeliea
said to Father Joseph LAS you have
nobody else to love, love me- and Jo-
seph did so. 1t is the same way with
the Peerless Princess: IF you have
nothing else to love, love me-" VIII the
ten hundred people of Wichita who
have not registered say |'yes?"
At this crisis Wichita needs every
friend at home and abroad-especially
at home. 1t is on the program to make
ton that makes her enemies. It needs
friends among the Democrats and Pop
ulists as among the Republicans. The
whole state is watching it-watching
the outcome. Can the Republican tick
ct be elected in spite of Morrill, and his
administration? is the question IN every
body's mouth. If it can the entire poIit-
ical situation nj Kansas will be changed

power in the state, or at least in the
Republican politics of the state. and
it is only through this new power and
FITS results that Wichita and it's friends
can get what they have wanted so
long.
The ever jealous state capital and
its nhinionS want to see Wichita crush
ed because of its ambition. Does ANY,
body suppose that Topeka cam crush
Wichita in any other way than polfti-
caHy. In other respects there is no
rivalry; for Wichita has no CONNER
cial rivals I'M this state and never will
have so long as her people do their
duty. IL the Republican ticket is elect

will be hurled TO Topeka ON the wings
of lightning; IT will be hurled in the
teeth of Dawes and Morrill, and Wieh-
ata's victory viii whisper in their ears:
We will meet you at Phillip" By all
means register and when the time
comes, two weeks hence, be prepared
and eligible TO strike the blow HELD

The registration books will probably
not close until late this evening, but
don't depend ON that. Register early in
the day and avoid the rush.

but it does not appear to them so GER

Dale works might and day now trying
no turn the tide that is swelling every
day towards Haitton. Rufe Cone is do
ing the same thing. He spends his DAYS
an the country and his nights in the
stairwayS i'm town. Both have the adj
vantage of money over their Republi-
cam opponents and this is no small fac
nor in campaign. Cone can spend
$1,000 where Henry Schad could not
spend SO and Dale can spend dollars
where Charlie Hatt0n could not spend
pennies. The opposition hank a great
deal on thespending ability of their two
chief candidates. That might go a
long way towards electing them in
eastern cities bur there is greater love
of fair play in the west and the poor
man has nearly as good show as the
rich man. That was demonstrated in
THE case of Mr.. Cone himself six wears
ago when, without a dollar and his
party i'm the minority, he was elected by
liberal Republican voters-Republican
voters who he has not only never since
appreciated, but in many cases cpenly
slapped in the face. His purse is now
wide open; it may do him some good

Henry Schad who must walk. 1t is the
same old STORY 1.-The rich can ride in
xhaiaes, etc.
AT THE COMMITTEE ROOMS.
There was a blue crowd up in the
fusion committee room yesterday.
The rooms are in the Sedgwick block

to the Populist headquarters has no

the two rooms.
When a reporter for the Eagle drop

twelve men setting around the table
and somebody made the remark that
they Were the twelve apostles.
Mr.. Helm was in the very center of
the group and he appeared to be the
spokesman, Notwithstanding the fact
that he was the pledged supporter of
Prohibition in the last campaign.
They all had books and were figuring
UP the situation. After the reporter
tapped Jim Dorsey's pocket for a cigar
