you can fool all Of the people some
of the time and some of the people all
the time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time"
The above quo ia tion from an immor-
tai Republican is sometimes used TO
advance the interest of men who hate
the name of Lincoln, and who vote the
same ticket that the assassin who kill
ed him voted.
Yesterday, by agreement the double
headed. double-fanged monster, the
Demo-Pop combine, all efforts were
turned against Charlie Hatton to beat
him for judge. A little figuring dem
onstrated that RUFF Cone and all the
other candidates on that ticket were
hopelessly beaten, and made it evident
that the only man who had a possible
show of election was David NJ. Dale
and he only by judicious trading. Mil
Ter and CaTpshan will be traded off
from the start, they have been put on
the market already and while Cone
and Campbell are not on the trading
market yet they will be in a few days.
They will be held back as long as pos
sible to add to their trading value as
it were. Drop everything for Dale"
is now the watchWord of Jesse Hay
maker. Dave Smythe and their crowd
and in obedience to that policy the Off
ciaI organ Of the Demo-Pop combine
opened war last evening, solely and
wholly on Judge Hatton.
In addition TO that Rudolph Hatfield
who is one Of the particular friends
and hackers Of Dave Dale in this fight
went to Topeka to lay down with the
governor in hopes of getting him to
reconsider his inclination to change the
commissioners and pull off Tiger Bill.
Dale wants 10 have that judgeShip
by nook or by crook and not only do
all the professional politicians in his
own party but a few of those on the
other side as well. Rudolph Hatfield
got a great many favors from the Re-
3ublian party, a great many more than
HE deserved, and it shows poor grace
an him now to be exercising all his
talents to keep up a fight that hurts
uhe community, for the purpose of cleo
ting double distilled Populist and
Democrat TO the office of judge.
The cry out now, in the interest of
Dale, Us that Hatton a great many
years ago was on a resolution commit
tee that endorsed prohibition. That
was thirteen years ago, but who was
more conspicuous in the resubmission
movement of 1890, eight years afterward
than Charles Hatton. Then if the
short sighted boys on the other side
think that they can down man on the
Republican side because he was on a
committee thirteen years ago that ex-
pressed confidence in the workings of
a new and untried political principle
what are they going to do with the lea
der OF their own ticket, Mr. l. p. Camp
bell, who said over, his own signature
an the same paper a few evenings ago
that he was not only in these same con-
VentionS but that he voted for all the
men and measures put forth by them,
including prohibition. Accompanying
the story involving Mr.. Hatton as a
prohfbitioniSt thirteen years ago was
THE statement that at that time Colonel
Taylor was a candidate for auditor of
state on a prohibition platform and yet
this same Colonel Taylor is now the
strongest hacker Dave Dale has for the
office of judge. Has Colonel Taylor
changed his mind? If he has not he is
a prohioitionist still. If Colonel Tay-
, Tor changed his mind why had not Mr.
Hatton a right to change his. But then
this is all child's talk and fools talk
and mighty short sighted talk for the
other side. There is no use in going
out side the statutes of limitation.
Come inside the usual two years and
see whether the PopuHsts have ever
uttered word against prohibition; if
they were not in favor of the law why
have not they said so in either their
platforms OF campaign addresses and
yet Dale and Cone and all the other
fellows on the ticket We're nominated
by PopuliSt convention. Life is too
short to be going back a generation or
two for some fool thing to bring UP
against a man. If it were not it is pos
stble that every little crime in the calta-
logue from robbing a birds nest to the
great crime of 70, to say nothing of his
position on the Jasperite pavement
deal might be brought up against
Dave Dale.
The present is what the voters of
Wich5ta are studying. Where do the
candidates now stand is what they
want to know and in aScertaining that
ma tier they must apply the old rule of
judging man by the company he
keeps.
Who is standing behind the Candida
cy of Dave Dale? Who is praying for
his, election? Billy Smith, Tgier Bill.
Seth Tucker, Lieurance, HI Lewis. Da-
Vi3 Smyth, Harry Rule Rudolph Hat
field ard all the other political prohibi-
tiqnists. Who are against Charlie Hat
tom? Who are praying for his defeat?
Billy Smith. Tiger Bill, Seth Tucker.
Lieurance, Hi Lewis, David Smyth,
HARRY Rule. Rudolph Hatfield and all
the other political prehibitionistas. The
other side is not saying much about
Dave Dale's present associations or
about Charlie Hatton's present associ-
atoms. and il is very agreeable for
ihem to go back thirteen years. 1t is
much more interesting 10 them 10 go
back that time than 10 face the pres
emit
The whole thing indicates that they
are on the run and that they must do
something desperate, even If they have
TO send Dale's champion Rudolph Hat
field 10 Topeka, 10 keep up the fight
on the business interests OF Wichita.
Then. again. Dale did not think so
much about the prohibition record of
some local Republicans in the dim dis
Tance of long ago. some two months
ago. when, at the time of Judge Reeds
withdrawal, his political chums and
managers wanted the Republican tick
et without a Judge al the same time

cant, or Dale indorsed. they would
