OSCAR HABERLEIN has never ex-
planned why he violated his obligation
when a member of the Farmers ALI
ance, he has not told US why he chang
ed politics after he had been a Popu-
list q year, he has never answered the
question as to whether he favored a
maximum freight rate law or any other
railroad legislation, he has never said a
word about making an effort to lowe-
interest rates, and In fact the people
are blind as to what he is or what he
stands for except that he Is for the gold
standard first, last and all the time.
We hold that he is dangerous man to
send to the legislature and we warn the
voters in advance shat if this gentleman
from Germany is elected they need not
be surprised at anything. Patton is a
good man and safe man. He will be
as beneficial to the county and state as
Haberlein would be detrimental. Vote
for Patton, he will make good repre-
sentative

The Cresset of last week saws:

4dE OTcSScC OI ldSC week says.
Mr.. Rackley holds first grade life certif-
cate to teach in the state ofJllinois.
Perhaps that first grade certificate is
like the one he holds in Kansas now
"a very ordinary second grade. At
the last examination MIR. Rackley took
in Barber county he failed to receive a
first grade certificate entirely and only
got an average of "a for second grade.
This is very common and many young
school teachers of the county can show
much better average. The republic
cans are making desperate effort to
have the impression go out that Rack
ley is better qualified than Shell but
when the respective records of the can
dIdates are looked into, it Is found that
Mr.. Shell is pre- eminently the superior
to Mr.. Rackley. 1t is true that Mr..
Shell held only second grade certifi-
cate when he was first elected to his
present official position but he has held
first grade for a number of years in
Indiana. However his last certificate
Is one of a higher average than Mr.
Rackley's last. Added to this he has
the experience which it will require two
years for MIR. Rackley to get. If you
are interested in the welfare of oul
public schools and the education Of
Barber county children you must cas-
your vote for Frank M. Shell.

1t Is with pleasure that we announce
this week that Hon. L. z. Wilson has
withdrawn from the democratic ticket.
The papers were filed with the county
clerk on Monday evening. This was
the only wise course for Mr.. Wilson to
pursue and it is step which Will make
him numerous friends throughout the
county. The lines are now clearly
drawn In Barber county. Only two
tickets are before the people each stand
ing for opposite principles and de-
mands. The silver forces are in good
shape for the battle and will march in
solid phslanx and success and victory
Is an assured thing. The only danger
with which we were ever threatened
was division of forces but since that
difficulty Is overcome there is nothing
more to fear. We extend a friendly
hand to Mr.. Wilson and the democracy.
OF Barber county and congratulate them
on their patriotic stand. Do your duty
at the polls and none will have a better
title to share Of the fruits of victory
than you.

W. E. Williams and family moved to
town last week and are residing in the
Eubanks property on South Oak St.
Mr.. Williams, like many other Kansas
farmers, made hard struggle to keep
his farm and his home but without sue
cess. High interest and low prices for
products absorbed the homestead in
spite of his hard labor and strenuous
efforts. No one can say that Mr.. Will
liams was careless and idle nor that his
misfortune was due to any fault of his.
Under our present financial system ev-
cry farmer In Barber county who has
not already suffered the same fate, will
surely meet it in The future. The elec-
ton Of Mckinley and the continuation
OF the gold standard means many thous-
ands more of homeless families.

Mr.. Moomaw, one of Valleys pro-
gressive Populists, was in town Mon.
day. Mr.. NJ. handed US a copy of the
Hammond (Ill.) Herald, bis home pa
per, containing a letter from the pen
or the republican leader of his old
nome j ohm Gray. The letter is a partic.
ularly strong one and one which we
should very much like to publish would
time and space permit. Mr.. Gray says
that he has always been a republican
up to this time, but his party has left
him and his next vote will 60 for Bryan
and free silver. He quotes from near
ly every republican platform since 1850
to show that the republican party had
always favored bimetallism until this
year and that the party now lead By
Bryan is the genuine Abe Lincoln re-
publicanism. Mr.. Gray says that the
gold standard is sure to reduce the
masses to condition of servitude and
serfdom and he could not help to fasten
theinfamous system upon thepeople and
at the same time be a patriot. The 70.
publicans who think in the same chan.
mel as this man, Gray, does, could be
counted by the thousands in Illinois
and other states.

Fred Washbon, the Harper pettifog-
ger who has been gulled to such an ex-
tent that he believes himself to be seri-
ously in the race for state senator,
made republican speech at the court
house in this city on Monday night.
So few were in attendance that it is
hardly fair to say that he had an audi
ence. but we are told that he got off the
usual g. o. song. He is not much of
a speaker and would never make a SEN
ator unless somebody injected better
ideas into his head. When Andy Titus
is through with him he will regret that
heallowedthe republicans to make tool
of him. Washbon won't carry more
than one county in the district.

F. o. GATES, the 9oples party can

heaviest taxpayers in the county. This
is conclusive evidence that he is in
terested in the county's welfare and
hence will be good man to take hold
of the bond question. Hugh Rankin,
the republican candidate, is a renter
and consequently is not as well fitted
for that position. 1t always pays to Sc
lect the best material. Vote for Gates.
