Purpose of Helping Young in the Sec
ond ward-Their Scheme Won't "ork
With the People Who Know Their De
sisns-The Bosses are Frantic In Iheir
Efforts to Beat the Repub lean Ticket
Democracy, the old snagg'e Tooth Bas
Will and Should be Downed.
The bosses were flying around yester-
day like chickens with their heads cut
off whipping their lackeys into line for
the election next Tuesday. They found
hean Of trouble over in the Second ward
where Mr.. Hatton was nominated for
member of the school board by the
bosses and declined TO be their cats
paw to elect George Young. MIR. Hat
ton being popular in the Second ward
they hltched him up with Mr.. Young in
hopes that his popularity would help
Mr. Young TO be elected. They still
want to elect Mr.. Young and In order to
do so they claim that AIR. Hatton is still
in the race because his name was on the
ticket before his certificate Of declina-
ton was received by the city clerk. The
voters of the Second ward should not be
deceived. Mr.. Hatton is not candid
ate, and vote given to Mr.. Young by
a Republican is a vote thrown away
] certaily is unnecessary to caution
them more than once with reference 10
this fact.
These Democratic and Populist bosses
are fairly going wild in an effort to de-
feat the Republican ticket, They nave
some object in il more than the good or
the city. Some Of them, of course, are
pretty good citizens, but that is no rea-
son why they should exert themselves
TO such an extra ordinary extent to de-
feat the Republican party that has al
ways given the city a clean and honest
administration and is doing so now.
There are not ten men of amp political
party in the city who have the braZen
effrontry TO say otherwise than that the
present administration of the city az
fairs both in the council and school
board is clean, honest, economical and
efficient There is not a leak any
where. Every penny spent is for value
received and under the conditions that
have prevailed 1t would have been i'm
possible 10 keep up the credit and honor
of the city without burying 1t in bank
Tuptcy were 1t not for the fact that both
the council and school board were. Re
publican and accountable 70 an eSt4h-
lished party organization that was, In
turn. responsible TO the ciuzeHs thar
trusted II with their affairs. Does any,
body for moment suppose that a mon
grel city council and mongrel school
board. eternally at SKIES and sevens,
would ever tide over the preiod just
past with such a record as the RepuDI-
can administra ton has.
Do the people Of Wichita desire IN
change horses in the middle Of the
stream Do they want TO turn tfe T. e.
publican party from power at this time
when the stream is still dangerous and
only half way crossed? DO they want
10 retire a responsible party and give
frs important and responsible place to a
party of men who have no party honor
at stake; who are responsible TO no one !
but Democratic Grover Cleveland en- |
ployes and a Populist boss. What care
these men for the business interests Of /.
the city administration? They want to !
disrupt the Republican party, they want /
TO breed factional strife in it's ranks and !,
thus weaken the party for the fall cam /
paign and perhaps defeat It. No Re- /
publican with grain OF sense should .
allow himself 10 be made the Victim OF .
these schemes. If he IS not loyal 20 /
his party he should, at least, have pride .

But then all this talk Is unnecessary,
There Is no more show for single man I
on the citizens ticket 10 be elected than ,
there is for one of Joe McMahon's ele- /
plants 10 jump over the moon in day
light. II isn't in the cards. The Dem I
ocratic party is hoodooed and voodooed. /
Fate is against II this year. II IT had |
twice the number Of woes the Repuhlf-
cans have 1t could not be successful.
The party is like man with the night
mare: he may have power but he can't
use II until the spell wears off. The
spell won't wear off this year and there
IS no use for its advocates to try and
shake Il off.

Gusts. Inc intention - ana Always
has been 20 let Il take the country when
the people get gay with prosperity. The |
people are not gay with prosperity now.
They need no punishment for indulginG
in the vices that prosperityX produce.
The past three years of Democratic,
times has hTmbled the people end they
are too well aware Of It by the increas-
cd attendance at the soup houses. the
increased number Of trsmps that pass
their door. the increased number of hope
less suicides, THE increased burdens OF
taxation, the increa sed insults from
pop1n5ay monarchs. the increa sed num-
Der OF robberies, the increased sacrifices
of virtue, the increased number of mort
cages and the increased number of bust
pess failures, TO bear the scorpion
lash Of Democracy any longer. The
people are determined to pull the fang Of
the old snaggle-tooth bag all over the
nation this year. They viii commence
next Tuesday and Wichita should and
viii be on hand and at work on that
day.
