STOP AND THINK
REPUBLICANS BEGINNING TO LOOK
BEYOND THE DARK CLOUD.

tected-People Beginning to See that ii
is Well to Stand Opposite to Those Who
are Making the Taxpayers sick-A Word
or Two About the Friends and Enemies
of Wichita.
As election day approaches activity
in political circles begins to increase.
The quiet campaign goes along with
out much noise, but history is being
| made nevertheless.
How is it going?" is the question
| asked by everybody. Il IS going all
right. No Republican who faces the
situation, who can look at it with keen
eyes and clear perception, and then
does his duty, need fear the result
The chief strength Of the Republican
ticket this year lies in itself. 1t is get
! ting no sympathy from abroad because
the men who are on it are Sedgwick
county men-Wichita men,
Who are they? Every one Of them
true blue Republican in toucl: with To-
cal sentiment, inspired by local loyalty
and standing UP for Wichita and Sedg-
wick county. There are no sneaks in
| the grass on that ticket; no traitors u
| their fellow citizens; no man who is
| mean enough to glory at the sight of
! the Peerless Princess Inundated in the
| dust.
A few self-seeking politicians Of small
| calibre would have the people believe
that the ticket should be defeated in
order to slap certain crowd IF state
| politicians in the face. That is all rot
| 1t is self evident rot Every hon ast
man knows that the local candidates of
| the Republican party, or any iljivic
| ual among them, are not in sympathy
or in cahoots with that Topeka Gro rd
That being the case is it right TO punish
them in order TO spite the other crowd :?
1t is not. There is no justice in it and
| the people will say so at the polls on
November 5. Where in the name Of
common sense is the logic of refusing
to vote for Charles Hatton, John Stan
ley, Norris Lloyd or any other candi-
date TO spite Attorney General Dawes,
| Bin Campbell and Hi Lewis. In the
| first place it will not spite but please
them, for everyone of them is against
the ticket and will rejoice in its defeat.
If Charlie Hatton is defeated and Dale
is elected there is no more doubt OF the
| fact that the Campbell-Lewis-B Billy
Smith crowd viii hold a ratification in
their league hall; than that the sun will
rise the next day. Any man with a
| grain of sense knows. or ought to know
where these fellows stand and it would
be wise for all Republicans of this
county as we'll as all other men who
! love their city and county and hate n.y.
pocrasy, boodling and shystering, to
stand on the other side. Here is a
| plain proposition:
Would you sooner have Charlie Hat
ton On the bench of this county than
David Dale? Charlie Hatton has been
tried on the bench and the little gang
! that are trying to run this city, bunch
up the whisky traffic in their own in
terest instead of in the interest of
! Wichita, and make the taxpayers sick
do not want him there. Why? Because
he neither believed in their deviIish
policy of burdening the people with
| debt or could consent to be used as a
tool by them. Isn't it plain from that
| that he is just the man the people want
for four years on the bench Of this
county and especially at this crisis.
| If the opposition outfit didn't want him
on the bench of the police court do you
think for a moment that they want him
on the bench of the district court?
Certainly not. If they don't want him
there isn't it very plain that they want
Dave Dale This is so plain that any,
body ought to see ii.

cold blooded politician, for sheriff than
a plain, genial, square business man

to be the greatest political schemer in
the country; the other is man who could

venemous, cankerous long nosed little
meddler who is with Tiger Bill and Hi
Lewis in the effort to make the taxpay-
| erS sick, is 10 be his chief clerk. This
| is where the politician comes in. Rufe
| is exactly the kind of politician that
Dawes is. 1t would be we'll to down
the politicians this year and get Henry
Schad for sheriff.
| Would you sooner have Harry Cor
| don for state sena tor-the genial, elo-
quent, clean, high minded Harry Cor
don, whose skirts are as clean as a
maiden's wedding gown than l. P.
| Campbell. Campbell said yesterday
| that he was an anti-prohibitionist
| What did he say ii for? H./aid it to
keep the anti-prohibition woes of his
own party. Did he ever say before
that he was against prohibition? VIII
| he ever say.it again? No. Everybody
knows where Harry stands. They
know he has always stood up for Wich-
| tia and personal liberty and in the
| next senate his silver tongue will be
/ a power in the general demand that will
/ be made there for resubmission.
What can be said of the above can
| be said for that big hearted MINES
cab farmer John Stanley. Morris Lloyd
and the rest of the ticket. Morris
| Lloyd. aside from his broad and lib
eral spirit and sterling manhood can
| be trusted not TO do anything to make
| the taxpayers sick. He is. himself,
among dozen men who are the heavi-
! est taxpayers in the county. Perhaps
| he pays more into the county trea Sury
| than all the candidates on the Popu-
| list ticket put together. The books
viii prove this.
| This county knows what a Populist
! ticket means. It knows what il meant
before. 1t knows what it means down
| in Harper county and over in kingnan
| county. Will il try the bitter dose
agin that makes the public stomach
| sick?
| The best Democrats IN this county
are for the Republican ticket and hun
| dretis OF them viii vote for ii Does
any one see the best Democrats in
this county working for the bastard
ticket2 No. One Of the best Demo-
| Gratis in this county in private CONVEX
| sation with a reporter for the Eagle
| said day-bmefore-yeSte that IL
would be shame TO have the Republi-
| can ticket defeated by attaching TO
| them the responsibility OF the Topeka
crowd when they are against them as
| Loyalty as You or me. II - not right

| Of others. ! do not hesitate TO say 90
