OF anything they have left undone to de-
feat the Republican ticket?
But. II they are good Republicans.
and are really working for the success
OF their ticket. could they have done
anything for its success Yes. Lieu
rance and Keck could have refused 10
act as the agents OF the governor 20
down the town and pile up taxes on the
county. They could have refused 10
have driven the head Of the Republican
ticket from the police bench They
could have joined the Republican Cen
trail Committee. the Republican mayor
and city council and Republican judge
and county officials and Republican
candidates in asking the governor 20
stop the war on Wichita snd the Re-
publican ticket and 10 pull Off Tiger
Bill, and they could have refused 20
prosecute part OF the jointesis and let
the balance go on who would agree 20
vote the Pop ticket Colonel Lewis
could have done the Republican ticket
a great deal OF good by keeping his
NOUN smut II requires a good d. n
or gall for man 70 undertake 20 elect
a ticket by means Of his unpopularity.
But that is what he is doing. He knows
that IL the people OF Sedgwick county
thought for a moment that Colonel
can ticket and was interested in its cleo
ton. that there are thousand Repubn-
cans, and a thousand Democrats in this
county who would vote for the other
ticket. So. in the hope Of making them
think so. he gets into the Beacon mot
in the Eagie) every few days with a
bumptious declaration that he is a Re
publican.
What could Billy Smith. the great
apostle OF good citizenship Thy the grace
OF the governors pardon) do for the Re-
publican ticket? Why. he could do
whole lot. He could come out and con-
fess that at the instance of RUFF Cone
he organized the Good Citizenship
league for the purpose OF keeping up a
Prohibition fight through the campaign
10 defat the Republican ticket for the
price OF a deputyship in the sherin's
office under Mr.. Cone. But you say
Rufe Cone denys that he made Billy
Smith that promise But why don't he
get Billy TO deny IL TO make IL more
binding? Deny ii, Billy. and cinch that
story as base lie. But Billy don't.
and why? Because DR.. Winters. as
pastor of a large congregation OF a
thousand members. could not afford 20
have Billy, who is a deacon. to deny ii
and then walk up the day RUFF goes
into office and be the first man installed
as deputy. That's the reason why
RUFF can deny II. Ii wont hurt him
TO deny 1t. for he has been in the de-
nying business so long. But Billy. he
''darsent.'
II this is not evidence enough that this
whole crowd want to defeat the Re-
publican ticket. there is a motive out
side OF all OF this in those leaders.
Lewis and Hatfield. which prompts
them to make this fight. and that Is 10
down the Eagle. Hatfield says down
the Republican ticket and that downs
the Eagle. Why down the Eagle? Be
cause. when was elected to the legisla-
tuTe the last time (says Hataeld) /
promised the people OF Sedg-wick county
l would work and vote for Resubmis-
sion, but lied to them and went TO To-
peka and was awarded the first button
Mole bouquet for my efforts TO enact The
Murray law. and at that time Murdoch
said he would see that / never got an
other office in this county. l never
have had an Office since, and so / want
to down the Eagle.
Now. il all this is true, and no one
honestly doubts it-in fact these facts
are positively known 10 nlne-t enths OF
the voters in this county. and the con-
sentative voter must conclude that in
order to re'buke this Prohibition crowd
YOU must vote against their wishes.
But can a Democrat. oonscientiously.
vote the Republican ticket? Why not?
We have no Democratic ticket. A few
Demo- Pops got together and Endorsed
the Pop ticket and ask US 10 support -
as a Democrats ticket. Shades OF
jefferson, Jackson. Tiiden and Cleve-
land forgive us But that is not all.
Adding insult to injury they ask US not
only 10 support this aggregation OF
dehorned Pops. caStrated Democrats.
caponized DeTno-Pops. exiled Green
backs, Single Takers. and what not. but
have added on TO the aggregation the
pesky Prohfoitionists whom we have
made speciality of fighting for the last
thirteen years.
What for Democrats For the bene-
fit OF the Democratic party? No. sir
To elect Dave Dale and RUFF Cone 10
Office and no other. You don't hear
anything about the other prominent
Democrats" on the alleged Democratic
ticket. Do you? No. Nobody but
Dave Dale and RUFF Gone. Then men
who have not only made the Democratic !
party Populist contingent. but who |
have rendered the Populist party pow |
erless to accomplish anything in this
in and for Itself. Colonel Hut |
Crimson was guessing at what We Demo
Gratis knew TO be positive facts. when /
he said these men had been working /
both parties from the start. 70 the de- |
triment OF both. to elect themselves 20 |
office. We know that RUFF Cone Ift |
the Democratic party 10 work The Pop.
and that Dave Dale remained IN The 4
Democratic party for the same reason. I
II has taken four years 20 work the 1
Populist suckers. but they have got 4
them at last.
Now fellow Democrats ] say 20 you.
that IL is imperative that this ticks6 be /
defeated. II elected the lie 81 the 4
Democratic party goes out with s. The i
section OF an individual is nothing com
pared with the lie OF the party q you
lave party pride left. The election OF /
his ticket means the Democratic party.
