About the happisst man we have
seen over the election is Judge
Frank Doster, chief justice. elect.
When the writer saw him at Topeka
his face was a wreath of smiles.
His rejoicing comes not from the
realization Of a cherished desire TO
fill an official position. Judge Dos
ter, has until this year continually
refused to accept a nomination for
any office, but he thought the time
had come for the people of Kansas
to pass on the question as to whether
he was a patriotic citizen or an
anarchist. He is thoroughly Salts
he'd now that the people Of Kansas
take NO stock in the calumny that
has been heaped upon him by the
hlreling newspapers of Kansas.
His majority will perhaps be second
only to Botkin, who will no doubt
lead the ticket.

Kansas is to be again subjected to
all the evil shafts OF a venal and cor
rupt press to drag its name and fame
in Inc dust because of the trium, h
of Populism. In other words, Kan
sas is to be punished from within
and without for daring to express its
free and independent thought at the
ballot box. Because Kansas will
not lie down and submissively lick
the hand that has smitten her. the
hand that is striving to throttle this
nation, the hand that has been raised
to blot democracy and republican
ism from the face Of the earth, the
hand that would rob free born
Americans of their birth right, the
hand that would exalt property
above humanity; because Kansas,
tried in the crucial OF self denial has
dared assert her independence, her
manhood, her patriotism, she is to
be made to run the gauntlet of abuse,
OF ridicule, Of vituperation, Of falsif-
cation, and, shame upon such apos-
tacy, a portion Of her own citizens,
themselves ground TO poverty by the
unequal struggle between organized,
incorporated capital and the divided,
disheartened masses, are to join the
hosts of plltocracy on the outside in
this onslaught on Kansas people.
