The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1897-12-03

SinceKan. wentover 20, 900 repubIi-
can at the recent election, candidates
for governor are springing up every
where; there are hundreds of good
men in the republican party who are
we'll fitted to fill the executive chair,
but it is a little early to begin the
campaign. The best thing the re-
publican party of Kansas can do is
to place a man at the head of the
ticket who has not been a standing
candidate for office for the past
quarter of century. Let's dig up
a man who is not mixed up in any of
the fractional fights; one who can
unite rather than divide ths party.
The republican party in Kansas
must show itself to be bigger than
either Baker or Leland. 1t is all
foolishness to let half dozen men
dictate all the nominations or all
of the appointments in Kansas. If
next year the republican party puts
up a representative ticket it will be
elected by 40, 900 majority.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1897-12-03

The indicacationS now are that
the democrats are going to ask for
a reasonable share of the state ticket
next year, which of course the pops
will not give them-and the quest
ion is, VII the democrats be good
and vote the pop ticket as they did
in 1896 or will they kick the deal
overheard. The democrats are
willing to deal with any old party
that will give them share of the
swag, but in 1896 they got nothing
and they seem to be getting tired of
the game. This year the democrats
put up straight tickets in number
of counties, and in others compelled
the pops to give them an even di-
vide, as was the case in this county,
but trouble..is brewing; the demo-
Gratis are demanding more while the
pops think they have more than their
prorata already. Well, let them
fight it out, the republicans can lick
them united or divided. The re-
publicans who left the party last fall
and voted for Bryan did it very sly
ly, and the vote this year showed
that they were coming back as they
went, not headed by a brass band
and coming down Main street, but
are cutting across lots and any old
way, but the fact that most of them
are back and the rest coming is graf
flying to the republicans. The facts
are the republican party has always
been substantially right on all i'm
portant questions and the people
who believe in substantial govern
ment realize 1t. There will always
be two parties and it makes little
difference under what name the OPP
position to the republican, party sails
it can always be depended on to
have as the main plank in its plat
form some cheap, easy, tin horn
measure that will catch some
votes, cut a party founded on prin
ciple is bound to win in the long
run. The republican party puts up
a platform of principles it believes
in and asks all good citizens who In
dorse those principles to join in and
help sustain them, and it is generally
successful.

She turns up now as the mistress OF
rich man, and claims to be his
his wife; if she is the marriage was
one ofrhe funny kiud. The second
husbands death was also suspicious
although the facts probably are that
whiskey and morphine are respon-
sible for the talking off, The wo-
man is only twenty-seven years old
now, and as she is foot-loose again,
we suggest that the fawn be bran led
that other old men with modey who
run across her may be warned in
time. -Atchison Globe
