BUSINESS MEN AND BALLOTS.

There is one marked change in the
year. That change is in regard 10 the
business men. Last year at this time
| the papers all over the country were
full of frantic appeals 10 the business
| men 10 get out and vote. The feeling
had been growing over the country
that the ward-wOrkers never failed TO
vote and work, and that the business
men who were infinitely more inter-
ested than the ward-workers in polit-
zeal results remained in their stores.
From New York to San Francisco IL
was dinned into the ears of the bust
ness men that they could not be too
busy to vote. The result was a great
one. The business men voted and
voted in great numbers. AS result
several political gangs of outstanding
went down in heap, not because their
workers and heelers did not work as
hard as ever, but because the increase
of voters in the business precincts was
to much for them.
This year the business men are al
lowed TO rest. There are no more ap-
peals TO them TO get out and vote
through the newspapers. The absence
of this indicates clearly that the news
papers are satisfied that the business
men need no urging
-raIx- Il
men are a distinctive class. Few of
them will ever allow themselves to be
drawn into any partisan frenzy. Ac-
customed TO view all matters in busi-
ness light they also regard politics in
the same way. Preceding the last
election it had come to be GENERALLY
believed that politics had very little 10
do with business. Business men had
an idea that prosperity did not depend
on political results. But they have
changed their minds on that through
an unparalleled series of adverse
years. They realize now that politics
and political results do have an effect
and a prodisiOus effect on business.
They have realized that their vote is
Of more Importance than the man who
has no business interest at stake. And
that may account for the absence OF
the appeals 10 the business men To
vote this year.
1t is a verify that no man should
ever be too busy 10 vote. A vote IS the
one instrument Of popular rule in this
country. A full vote means the IN
misrakable decision OF the whole PEG
pie A half vote may mean only the
decision Of the political workers and !
extreme partisans who never miss 90
ing TO the polls.
Ii is important then that every man |
who is registered should vote in Wich- |
tia next Tuesday. In exercising his !
right 10 suffrage he becomes a true /
American and part and parcel 90 his !
and demonstrates a right !
that he would not have If ne did not |
live in America, which despite al its /
and all the trayaiis OF fac |
uonal clash aud party conflict remains
the grandest country on the globe.

day all over the country. In pur-
suance of an old habit both sides in any
fight are given 10 boasting of great
strength and certain success. On this
account the morning Of the election
usually finds all predictions al skies
and-sevens. II is impossible TO ind q
conservative opinion anywhere and the
only sure way of determining the exact
result is 70 wait until the votes are
counted.
To facilitate voting and TO expedite
matters il has become the fashion all
over the country 10 Vote early The
custom is growing and ii has been
found to be an aid TO the men inside
the booths If most of their work or
receiving and comparing the regiStra-
ton lists with the voters who present
themselves. is done in the morning
they are freshier and reader for the
work Of counting. which begins when
the polls close. 4 rush of voters late
in the evening tires the men inside the
booths and delays counting.
And there are many other reasons
why a man should vote early in the
morning. If the minute he arises from
the breakfast table he takes short
cut 10 the polls and gets his vote in,
the whole matter is OF his mind for the
day If he puts off his vote until the
afternoon many hindrances may inter
vene and prevent him from voting at
all. Or he may lose interest in the
election himself or be misled by the re-
neWed expression of confidence from
his enemies and refuse TO vote, or think
that it is useless.
So the fashion of voting early is a
good one. A mans mind is clear after
a nights sleep. If he has any strong
convictions he is stronger in the morn
ing than at any other time. If he has
any fallacious ideas or doubts they are
weakest in the early hours of the day.
Next Tuesday there will be an cleo
ton in Wichita. Every man who can
possibly do SO, should first 60 TO the
polls and cast his vote and then go 10
his business. He is then through with
the whole matter and need not bother
his head about it one way or the other
until the result is announced.

The Popuhsts of Sedgwick county
realize that they are under the con-
troll of a gang They realize that
Dave Dale, Rufe Cone, Busch and
Brown are candidates over and above
one of the principal tenets in the Pop
ulist party. But realizing this they
cannot see how it can be remedied. APP
parently they do not know of that
watchword Organization" They do
not know that two or three hundred
Pcpulists in a county convention can
be manipulated by Rufe Cone and
Dave Dale, and twenty fellow-conspir
atcrs. The Populists, who are con-
scientious in the advocacy of their
principles, do not appear TO understand
that the conscientious Populists who
are not in the gang are unorganized
while those in the gang" although the
number is few. are organized. They
do not realize that every man outside
the gang" is "going ii alone" while
the men inside the gang" are manipu-
lating the whole thing in unison. Every
man in the gang is to get something.
The prodigious power Of promise is
used TO perfection. The gang" makes
promises TO themselves and also
makes promises outside the gang"
The fellows on the inside know that
the promises on the outside have been
made, but they also know what the
fellows on the outside do not know,
and that is that the promises made 10
the fellows on the inside are the only
promises that will be kept. And so,
by working together, the gang" con-
trols while the fellows on the outside
marvel at the individual gangsters'
personal popularity.
A gang cannot be broken up without
the defeat of the party it manipulates.
or at any event it has never been done.
There is no doubt that hundreds of
PopulistS in Sedgwick county, having
failed to down the gang" in the nom
mating convention, feel that 1t can
only be dOwned at the ballot box.

MERCHANTS AND BUSINESS MEN

The result of Tuesdays election de-
ponds, very much upon the business
men of Wichita As nobody. as no
class of citizens are so directly inter-
| ested as they, every merchant and
every trader and manufacturer ought
to not only go to the polls Tuesday
morning, but arrange it so that every
bookkeeper, salesman. clerk and en-
ploye of whatever character shall have
an opportunity to get TO the polls. Ii
save the situation. While property
owners and taxpayers of the city gen.
orally, and especially the owners of
business houses and blocks. are direct
ly interested in victory for Wichita,
its the trade of the merchants, the
hotel men and the like who have been
more keenly feeling the results of the
narrow, singl-bore policy which has
been forced upon the city in the shape
of a lot of penniless nincompoops and
matchmaking hypocrites freshly con-
verted for the occasion and place That
whole gang must be downed and kick
ed out if Wichita is ever to go ahead
again. If the election goes wrong
they will simply be enabled to hold TO
their places by suffrance, or from the
fact that there will be nobody TO kick
them out, and they will be left TO con-
tinue their work of making the tax
payers sick. They, not being tax
payers themselves beyond the amount
of a day or two's salary, can well at
ford to keep up their contemplate con-
spiracy.
The judges and clerks of the precinct
boards of election should be prompt to
meet and open the polls that those con-
nected with mercantile and like es-
adjustments may not be delayed.
Wichita's majority, which will be
upon the right side, and in the diree-
ton of her best interests, will have to
be large in order to save the situation.
The way TO render her majority eff
fectual or large enough TO overcome
what may happen in the townships, is
TO get out full vote. AS nine out of
ten merchants grasp the situation fully !
their ballots will be on the right side, |
therefore the urgency.
1t was unfortunate that a political !
campaign should have interviewed or |
occurred at this time. Hundreds of /
men who would have stood by the !
city's colors, have become distracted |
over contending political interests. But |
a full vote in the city will save the |
situation.

SECRET OF THE GANG.

Few men in politics can measure
adequately the power of the gang"
IN politics. Among all politicians
there is enc watehword and that
watchword is organization" Or
ganizarion is at once The end-all of 20

cation that the gang in American

strange that the Populist party in this

other demands that no man shall have
a perpetual lease on an Office. that de
