other side is done for the purpose OF
diverting the peoples attention from
the real issue The real issues in this
campaign are whether certain things
done in Wichita shall be indorsed OF
repudiated. Where has Dave Dale been
in the storm OF battle precipitated upon
Wichita by hostile administration al
Topeka? He was indulging in ease by
the peaceful freside OF his mansion
Where was Charlie Haton? He was
in the center Of the fight, and because
he stood up for Wichita and his friends
and neighbors he became the very first
victim Of the administration. Charlie
Hattton could have played double and
held the Office ever since but he did not
choose TO do il. Now, then. shall he be
repudiated by the people for whom he
is no gratitude in the heart OF man. II
would be an encoura cement 10 the men
OF Wichita 10 stand in with the admin
istra ton as against their own town and
people. The result Of this would be
10 make Wichita kind Of a colonial
dependency Of Topeka. By electing
Hatton there viii be no injustice done
70 David Dale He has all he wants Of
this worlds goods, and more too He
has not child in the world 70 provide
for. He owns 1900 acres Of the finest
land in this county and is reputed 10 be
worth from s35, ,0oo 20 $50 600 in cash. He
has been honored by the people Of this
county enough 20 satisfy any man. He
never could hold an Office in this coun-
" were il not for Republican votes.
They elected him twice and he never re-
turned their courtesy by ever voting
for single Republican SO far as known
he cannot be elected now except by
Republican votes. Seriously be has
asked too much OF the party that he
never did anything for But over and
above all this his election would mean
by the enemies OF wichita This is the
main point 10 be considered. With
him on the bench the hands Of the
friends OF Wichita would be tied Their
mouths would be closed. They would
be repudiated. crushed and humiliated.
Hi Lewis and his crowd would be on
top and every man Ought 70 know what
that would mean for Wichita.
CAMPAIGN NOTES.
A committee Of lawyers has been ap-
pointed 70 get up some eleventh hour
campoign documents for the farmers.
They viii Try and defend Dave Dale's
seven months record Of pinching the
joints for fees They will try and prove
that Dave tried and convicted Il0 cases
from May IS 70 Dec. 81 In other words
they VIII show how he could convict 10
men in 1S0 days Lawyers may be able
70 prove that but IT is very hard for a
common man 10 do 50. Thirty-seven
Of the cases are supposed 10 have been
tried in eighteen days, from May IS to

ten They were not forgotten by John
Davis. Hatton will get the same Dem
ocratic votes that Davis did and not one
Of them VIII be thrown away.
The business men Of Wichita can be
relied on. They know where their in
terests lie. II you vote as the business
men vote you can't miss it Bets are
offered that nine business men out OF
every ten between the union depot and
the bridge are for Hatton- The busi-
ness men and the Eagle still continue to
vote together.
Men who predicted that the Populists
woud carry the state last year by 900
majority are now claiming the election
OF the entire Demo-Pop ticket. Don't
bet on their prophecy. II is no uncom-
mon thing for Deulo-Pops to be conf
dent two or three days before the eiec-
ton
1t is very urgent that business men
should vote early on the morning OF
election day and also their employees.
The oposition are going 70 pursue Tam
many tactics this year and the man who
votes early will profit by IL
Il should not be forgotten that the
bigger Hattor's majority is the heavier

Mayor Cox IS probably the best judge
OF how an election is going there IS in
the city. See that easy confident look
on his face and bet your money accord
ingiy.
All the fight IS now On Hatton. Henry
Scfad IL out OF the woods long ago and
those who bet On him have won their
money.
