Work-In the Meantime Boss Gone Il
said to Have Hit Upon a Clever Idea t.
Bring the Farmers Into Line-He hal
Adopted Trick that Worked Like 9
Char Before.
The Demo-Pop fusion cin1mittee are
beginning to smell the saline waters OF
salt creek.
Yesterday appropriations were made
for an additional paid army of heeiers
10 be put in the field for their ticket.
This additional detail consists Of fifty
men VINO are 70 earn 81 per day each
in various ways 1T will de deyided into
four blocks of ten and two blocks of
five 20 be assigned as follows:
Ten heelers are to stand on the vari-
GUS public street corners to talk for
effect. The idea is to gather a little
crowd and then all ten Of these men
WIFI join it. They are TO start politi-
cal discussion of course, and when it
wakes warm all ten Of them will COM
1nence to shoot off their mouths in be-
half of the Demo-Pap ticket so as to
make the other men in the crowd be-
heve there rs a terrible strong senti-
gnen't in opposition to the Republican
ticket. These fellows, Of course, are
the gabbiest people who can be found
in town md they are supposed to be
equal TO all emergencies such as one Of
them making a false statement and the
other nine confirming it.
Ten more viii be sent among the
Joints with an allowance of 81 a day
each, extra, to spend judiciously for
drinks. They are 10 treat some doubt
full voters and then make them believe
hot lots
and that Cone and Dale will leave every
thing run wide open. They are to speak
WITH an acconlpanionment of mods and
winks and with whisperings that they
are on the inside and know what they
are talking about
Ten more are assigned to small stores
factories and barber shops TO inoculate
tfle employees with the poison Of false
hood and prejudice.
Ten are to see the railroad men, street
car hands, restaurant men and miscel-
lsneoUs people.
Five are TO stand in with the extreme
prohibitionists and five are to see GER
tam farmers when they come to town.
To every Republican they are to say
We want You to rebuke Morrill,. This
IS an of year and you can afford to do
it." To every Democrat they are 10
say We must help to knock out the
Republicans this year and by that
bine next year on electing a Populist
state administration and Democratic
electors. To the Populist they will
say we must stand together like a
wedge to split open the Republican par
ny 50 that we can put up a Populist
next year and elect him"
The scheme is a good one from the
stapdpoint Of Tammany politics and
while it may serve to make a few votes
or at least TO keep a few from deserving,
IL viii cost good deal. Literature is
also distributed free by the committee

Tt Is said that Rufe Cone has hit upon

Henry Sc'had has him whipped to death
in every township in the county and
One wants to do something desperate 10
N'hange the Schad sentiment It is not
quite certain what his scheme is TO re-
cover his lost prestige in the rural dis
Tricts, but il is hinted knowingly that

ship and promise him a Geputyship in
order to get him to make a personal ef-
fort in his precinct BY this means
lle viii get between 35 and 30 men TO
work for him in their own interest. IT
as said that frat was HOW he got his
strength when he was elected six years
ago. As most OF the young fellows
VINO he had working for him then under
promise have gone to Oklahoma he
thinks he is safe in repeating the eX-
perimerIt.
HOW THE THING Is GOING.
There is only one thing now that can
result in favor of the Demo-Pop ticket,
and that is overconGidence on the part
of Republicans. This must be guarded
against There are over 700 Republi-
Casns in this city more than Democrats,
ictc
The candidates know where the country
people stand and SiSCne of them may get
the idea that 200 ajority is enough /
U hat Is what must be guarded against !
The correc- principle in practical poli- !
lies IS for candidates and workers to
imagine they are few voters behind
and work to make them up. This idea
should he carried up to the very min
ute the polls close and then candidate
Should watch that mistake of even one (
vote IS not made in the count. and so
should his friends. That is the idea
that should prevail in this as well as
every other election. If the RepuhH- /
can ticket has loo majority the vic /
tory over fusion. fanaticism and the ad- 1
it will be that much better [.
End everybody VIII be glad of ii.
THEY ARE COMING OVER.
It is very gratifying to all TO see the
way the boys are lining up an6 it is
more gratifying still to observe the
number that are coming from the other
camp. They are not prominent citi-
ZenS Of North Main street" or well
known gentlemen Of the Fourth ward
or any SUCH mythical beings, but good
men of every class and from every
ward who know where their interests
lie and who are the friends OF Wichita
and Sedgwick county.
The opposition have deserted every is
sue in This campaign and have doddeg-
cd every argument bat one and that is
the Silly chestnut that a vote for the
Republican ticket will be a vote FOR the
sta te administrator. Everybody can
See Through thaf absurd argument. !
They DO not offer TO explain why the
administration friends in this city are
for Dave Dale. every one Of them. They 1
don't want TO explain why Colonel
Lewis is for Mr.. Dale. why Billy Smith |
