Opposition Banking on Republican Over

Opposition Banking on Republican Over
Confidence tT Succeed at Polls.
The political pot is beginning To boil
hard now. The Republicans of the
city have awakened TO a realization
of the importance of more activity and
the opposition realize that their scheme
to steal few offices has been detected.
This paper has always insisted that
over confidence is the most dangerous
thing local Republicans have To con-
front and that II is the only depen-
dence the opposition has. The Oppo-
sition has Well laid plans to elect two
justices of the peace and two ConSta-
bles. Republicans will have fallen
very far short OF their duty if they al
low them to elect one. 1t is neither
right nor just to a man to nominate
him in convention and then allow him
to he slaughtered at the polls simply
because you think he can be elected
without your vote of course one vote
would make but very little difference
but if every Republican said: "Oh, well,
he does not need my vote" and stayed
at home the election of a Republican
candidate would be impossible. There
is nothing as dangerous as this eX-
cept voting for man on the other
ticket because he is a good fellow and
can't get elected anyway If there il
anything I'm party at all it is entitled
right you ought to vote for its can
didates; if the opposition party is
wrong you ought to vote against its
candidates. 1t Is your especial duty
TO vote against candidates of a mon
grel party that guarantees no reSpOn~
sibility for its candidates. In this cam
paign your duty is plain. Two oppo-
sition parties are allied against the
regular Republican organization for
no valid reason except 10 hoist a few
pets into office. then claim a great
fusion victory and give strength to the
political elements and Adventures that
are trying to cut the throat of the Re
publican party and walk into fat COun-
ty offices next fall over the slaughtered
corpse. As stated there is no reason
for this. The Republicans have nOml-
rated men who are competent 10 ill
the places for which they are named
and who bear an hOnOra Ole record be-
fore their fellow men. They ought to
be elected and they viii be elected if
every Republican rises To 4 sense Of
mis- duty to the candidate of his party
and votes early on election day Don't
depend on the other Republicans TO do
the voting; you should vote yourself.
IL would be- a great feather in the
cap of that old nag fusion if Mayor
Cox could be beaten by Mr.. Parkinson.
They would crow over It in every
stump in this county the coming fan.
They are making desperate efforts TO
accomplish this result and are begging
and coaxing people with that end in
view. They have arranged system
OF trading at the polls and trading is
always dangerous. Republicans are
masters of the situation. They do not
have TO trade and should not trade Tor
if every Republican votes the entire
ticket can be elected and the Repuhli-
can party will go upon the huStinss
neNt fall with the prestige of an in
creased majority in the city Re sure
TO vote election day and see that your
neighbOr votes.

Case Between a Landlord and Tenant De-

In the case of Il. Fulmer vs.. Rich
ard Pool the jury yesterday returned
a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
of S227 40
This case has created a good deal Of
bad blood on the part of Fulmer and
some Of his neighbors who are farmers.
1t seems from the evidence that Full
mer rented farm from Pool west Of
town near Clearwater for which he was

threshed last summer and all put into
one bin. Pool told Fulmer that he
could sell the wheat in Wichita for a
good price and that they had better
sell the wheat all together and divide
the money, which F'ulmer agreed to do.
The wheat was sold and Pool received
all the money, but neglected to pay
F'ulmer his part, claiming that F'ulmer
owed him something, and because Full
mer denied the claim Pool refused 10
give him any Of the money.
Fulmer first brought suit in a jus

result.
